Vision 2010: Congregations Cooperating In Missions

Learn about DCBC's Strategic Plan

In 2003, the D.C. Baptist Convention adopted Vision 2010: Congregations Cooperating in Missions,” a new approach to help advance the ministry work we are involved in as well as a way of supporting our member churches and partnerships.


Our Vision
A cooperative of Baptist congregations, on mission for Christ in the National Capital Region and the world, that covenant to participate in advancing the emerging work of God through stewardship, worship, evangelism, disciple-making, leader nurture, and ministry.


Our Mission
To strengthen Baptist congregations to advance God’s kingdom throughout the Metropolitan Washington DC Region and the world through:

  • Christ-centered unity, fellowship, networking, training, and consulting for congregational and collective ministries;
  • Support and participation in the regional, national and global missions work of our national partners.

Our Strategy
Empower congregations to fulfill their mission through centers comprised of teams from local churches coached by coordinators.

In addition, each of our centers—the Center for Congregational Health, Evangelism & Discipleship, the Center for Church & Community Ministries, the Center for Ministerial Leadership and the Center for Representative Process, Administration and Governance—have objectives, strategies, goals and leadership, spiritual and program focuses in line with the vision and mission of DCBC.
