The Convention of Southern Baptist of Puerto Rico (CSBPR) is a group of churches affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention located in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
Doctrinal Beliefs
The Convention of Southern Baptist of Puerto Rico believes that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, and is sufficient as the only infallible rule of faith and practice. CSBPR is also supportive of The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 which was adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention.
Cooperative Program
The Convention of Southern Baptist of Puerto Rico participates in the Cooperative Program (CP). CP is described as a tool used by God to empower the witness of Baptists in Puerto Rico. Every Southern Baptist Church in Puerto Rico is challenged to give 10% of all her tithes and offerings to the Cooperative Program. These funds are then pooled with other church gifts from Puerto Rico. State convention staff collect the funds and distribute some for missions work in Puerto Rico while the rest is forwarded on to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The SBC then uses gifts collected from all SBC state conventions to fund missions in the United States as well as send missionaries around the world. The Cooperative Program provides the opportunity for even the smallest church to be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission.
