• Participation counts people once for each ministry in which they participate

indicated, except as noted. Most totals have been adjusted for non-reporting congregations.
(3) Cooperative Program (CP) figures are from BGCO records for the 2006 and 2007 calendar years. Total CP
receipts including gifts from churches, individuals, and endowments in 2007 was $25,180,225.
• Congregations includes both churches and missions.
