ADVANCE TEAM

Lee Clamp, Chief Strategic Officer

God has used South Carolina Baptists for the past 200 years in His mission to transform lives. South Carolina Baptists are committed to saturating every life with hope. South Carolina Baptists have dedicated more time, resources, and energy than any other organization in the history of SC to see humanity saved. We are a family of churches who voluntarily pool their resources together to send missionaries and develop leaders until every life is saturated and transformed by the hope of the Gospel, beginning in South Carolina. This includes the 3.6 million not engaged in church in South Carolina and the 2 billion in the world who have little to no access to the Gospel. The South Carolina Baptist Convention staff is committed to helping our 2,000+ churches advance in this noble effort.

We help the church advance by mobilizing missionaries and developing leaders. Advancing churches are STRONG in leadership and disciple-making strategies that SERVE communities to SHARE hope to SEND workers who START new works.

The SC Baptist Staff mobilizes missionaries and develops leaders through Conferences, Camps, Collaboratives, and Coaching Environments that help the church Advance.

CONFERENCES and CAMPS: Large experiences that INSPIRE.

COLLABORATIVES: Learning communities that INFORM.

COACHING Cohorts: Relational networks that IMPLEMENT
