Annual Church Profile (ACP)

What is an ACP?

The Annual Church Profile (ACP for short) is a process of collecting data from Virginia Baptist Churches.  Some of the information collected and compiled includes: church leadership, membership, Sunday school, Baptisms, Discipleship, Financial Information, Vacation Bible School, and Missions. 

Why complete an Annual Church Profile (ACP)?

• To assist church planting in reaching people groups
• To have a testimony to the Work that God is doing within your church
• To analyze statistical relationships within the reported data
• To prioritize areas of the state where evangelism and new churches are most needed
• To identify and highlight churches that are doing a good job in certain areas (e.g. children's evangelism)
• To watch trends in total membership, Sunday School attendance, Worship attendance, giving, church growth, etc to determine where resources may be needed
• To identify particular staff that may benefit from resources provided to Churches such as Leadership Conferences

It is so important for each church to be part of ACP Reporting.  It provides a knowledgeable look at the Growth and Potential of Southern Baptist Churches.  Trends can be established and new ways to minister to churches can be researched.  We at the Virginia Baptist Mission Board use this information to further the Kingdom Advance and are counting on you to help make a difference. Thank you all in advance for your hard work and dedication!
