The Name: The “Baker” name comes from John P. Baker, former executive director of the Northern Plains Baptist Convention and of the later-formed Montana Southern Baptist Fellowship. John and his wife, Clide, ministered together to develop and strengthen Southern Baptist missions in Montana and its neighboring states.
The Purpose: The purpose of the Baker State Missions Emphasis is to strengthen and support missions work in the state of Montana. The Baker State Missions Offering is allocated among the categories of new work assistance, campus/student evangelism, pastoral emergencies and, our newest missions frontier, disaster relief.
"Never forget that there is a world outside the walls of your church and that missions is the heart and soul of what we do. Your...fellowship is a first line of defense against for forces of evil, and when you promote and participate in this once-a-year Baker Missions Offering for State Missions, then you strengthen your own missions base." John P. Baker, In an Interview in 1992.
