Southern Baptist Statistics By State Convention - 2007

2. Prior to 2005, Discipleship Training Enrollment counted persons more than once (counted for each group in which they participated). In 2005 (and afterwards), the item was changed to count persons only once regardless

of how many studies in which they participated.

3. Total impacted by incomplete data from some state conventions. See body of table and notes (below) for details. Care should be exercised in comparing SBC Totals to previous years.

4. California Southern Baptist Convention did not ask the following items: Other Additions, Resident Membership, WMU Ongoing Enrollment, Men/Boys Mission Education Enrollment/Participation, Total Receipts, and

5. There are 814 church-type missions located in Haiti which are recorded as cooperating with the Florida Baptist Convention (FBC) during the 2007 reporting year. Statistics for these missions are included in FBC’s total for

the following items reported in this table: number of baptisms, number of resident and total members, and Sunday School Ongoing Enrollment. These missions are not considered a part of the Southern Baptist Convention

(SBC) and the statistics for these missions are not included in the reported SBC totals (Grand Total for SBC).

6. Two conventions exist within the state of Texas. The Texas summary line does not show the arithmetic sum of the two State Convention figures, because some congregations are affiliated with both State Conventions, and

their numbers are reflected in the totals for both State Conventions.

7. The Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT) did not ask the following items: Discipleship Training Enrollment, Music Ministry Ongoing Enrollment, WMU Ongoing Enrollment, Men & Boys Mission Education

Enrollment and Total Gifts. This impacts the following statistics for BGCT, the Texas Summary line, and the SBC.

8. Two conventions exist within the state of Virginia. The Virginia summary line does not show the arithmetic sum of the two State Convention figures, because some congregations are affiliated with both State

Conventions, and their numbers are reflected in the totals for both State Conventions.

9. Information for the Caribbean Area is limited. Only 8 congregations reported.

10. This line includes four types of adjustments to the data:

a. The removal of duplicate data caused by 736 congregations that are affiliated with more than one State Convention

b. The removal of data from 75 congregations affiliated with a State Convention but not affiliated with the SBC

c. The addition of data from 251 congregations affiliated with the SBC but not affiliated with a State Convention

d. The addition of data “pulled forward” from previous ACP reporting cycles for 5,298 congregations that did not report in 2007.
