NBCA, INC.’S PLAN FOR CAP (Covenant Action Plan)

THIS PLAN IS BASED ON A MINIMUM OF 1100 CHURCHES SUPPORTING THE CONVENTION THROUGH THE TWO METHODS OF GIVING

WHAT IS CAP?

The Covenant Action Plan is the masterful idea developed by Dr. E. Edward Jones, the 13th President of National Baptist Convention of America, Incorporated. The Covenant Action Plan or CAP, is the systematic method of financing the objectives of the NBCA, Inc., including its outreach ministries such as HOME MISSION, FOREIGN MISSION, CHRISTIAN EDUCATION, PUBLISHING, EDUCATION, EVANGELISM, BENEVOLENCE, ORTHODOXY COMMISION, CHAPLAINCY COMMISSION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMISSION. All these ministries are outlined in the GREAT COMMISSION by our Lord, Jesus Christ. When systematically supported, CAP also enables NBCA, Inc. to meet its obligations to PROFESSIONAL CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS AND MEMBERSHIPS.

THE COVENANT ACTION PLAN is a financial commitment between NBCA, Inc. and its member churches to pledge and honor that pledge systematically by one of two methods. The CAP plan calls for each member church, association, state convention or any other affiliate group or person to make monthly contributions or contribute at the three (3) annual meetings based upon their committed ability to give. A systematical plan of giving such as CAP provides an opportunity for wise and responsible stewardship of finances at the national level. CAP even at its current level of support, allows our Convention to work daily in the cause of Christ rather than once or twice a year. CAP will allow each board to implement the objectives of the Convention rather than becoming fundraisers for the Convention (if properly funded).

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Member churches pledging their commitment to contribute by one of the methods listed in NBCA, Inc.’s Plan of Financial Support can result in a possible annual budget of more than $2,000,000.00 for National Baptist Convention of America, Incorporated.

WHAT AMOUNT SHOULD I PLEDGE?
The request is simply that the Pastor and/or participating church select one of the methods outlined in the NBCA, Inc.’s Plan of Financial Support based upon their ability to give.

HOW CAN CAP HELP OUR CONGREGATION?
Churches benefit from the services offered through the Convention Boards (these boards are subsidized by CAP). The work of the Boards provides for assistance to churches in distress, Christian Education information, guidelines and seminars for church growth. During scheduled meetings, Conventions, institutes, workshops, etc., the exchange of ideas and sharing the Gospel on the home and foreign fields. Knowing that a portion of the CAP contributions is dedicated to the cause of Foreign and Home missions assures supportive churches that they are participating in the fulfillment of stewardship responsibilities.
