Volunteer State Missions Offering

Missions is the heartbeat of CBF Tennessee. The call to be the presence of Christ in the world means we are intentional about serving “the least of these.” To that end, CBF Tennessee offers the Volunteer State Missions Offering. Since the offering began, congregations and individuals across Tennessee have given generously to designated mission and ministry projects across the state. We celebrate this significant accomplishment and the ways God uses your generous contributions to meet human needs in Jesus’ name.
