2026 SBC Book of Reports
now available online
NASHVILLE (BP) – The 2026 SBC Book of Reports is now online. The book is the go-to guide for Southern Baptists as they prepare to make decisions during the annual meeting. The print edition will be available at this year’s meeting in Orlando. “Southern Baptist leaders work tirelessly to report our work in various public formats, including the 2026 Book of Reports,” said SBC Executive Committee President Jeff Iorg. “These thorough reports demonstrate accountability and transparency in operations and results.” The book is published annually and gives messengers key organizational data. It contains business reports from each entity and includes the 2026-2027 Cooperative Program Allocation Budget. “One of the biggest changes for 2026-27 is the proposed Cooperative Program Allocation Budget which sends 51 percent of the total budget to the International Mission Board and eliminates the current priority allocation for legal and operational needs of the Executive Committee,” Iorg said. “All SBC entities worked together to make these changes possible. We are grateful for this progress in sending about $2,500,000 more to the International Mission Board starting in October 2026.”
