RESOURCES
Partner
CORD
CORD. USMB is committed to partnering with immigrant congregations. In a world where more than 270 million people are on the move, migration provides an opportunity for our USMB family to consider the mission of the Church. Increasingly, the mission is on U.S. soil. The CORD acronym describes USMB’s partnership with immigrant churches:
- Connecting immigrant churches to resources and other congregations within our MB family.
- Organizing and assisting with establishing a stable place of worship.
- Retooling through biblical training and educational resources centered around our USMB Confession of Faith.
- Developing pastors and key leaders capable of shepherding a healthy church.
