Because the mission before us is great, GMBSC is excited to share this partnership opportunity with future partners, sponsors, vendors, churches, corporations, local businesses, and supporters who desire to help advance meaningful work across the state.
GMBSC is excited to introduce you to some of the wonderful work that GMBSC is undertaking and where you can partner with us in ministering the love of Christ in tangible ways to people all over the state of Mississippi. While our state convention has historical significance in Mississippi, we see where God is opening new doors of opportunity for us to do greater works of service with a fresh sense of purpose.

A Partnership Rooted in Purpose
We invite you to share in these greater works by committing to one or more sponsorships as, together, we make an amazing impact all across Mississippi.
Sponsorship with GMBSC is more than recognition. It is a way to stand with meaningful work, support communities, and help strengthen ministry throughout the state. For corporations, churches, local businesses, vendors, and individual supporters, this is an opportunity to be connected to work that is already moving with purpose.
A Message from the President
It is my privilege to be able to share an opportunity for you and/or your agency to become a partner with the General Missionary Baptist State Convention of Mississippi. As an historic statewide association of African-American Baptist churches, the GMBSC of Mississippi has long been a place where faith has led to building institutions, impacting devastated communities, and ministering to human need through missionary efforts.
Consisting of over 500 member churches, our current general membership is among the largest of state associations, religious or otherwise. As a partnering corporate sponsor or vendor, you will have the opportunity to increase your visibility among a large demographic of Mississippians. But more importantly, your sponsorship will ensure that we will be able to direct resources to the most needy communities throughout our state.
By sponsoring sessions/events or underwriting certain expenses related to missions, you help us to rebuild houses devastated by natural disasters, send scholars to college, and fill in the material gaps of under-resourced communities.
I invite you to become a sponsor or vendor with GMBSC today and watch our collective efforts positively impact our state to God’s glory!
Rev. Reginald M. Buckley
President, GMBSC of Mississippi
