Together 2026

A Cooperative Listening Tour

Our way forward is to stay TOGETHER in Cooperation!

It is time to think more seriously and strategically about our cooperation moving forward, specifically in our commitment to the 100-year-old plan that we call the Cooperative Program.

We want to hear from you!

Join us at one of approximately 40 listening sessions around the state in 2026. Dr. Steve Horn and other Louisiana Baptists leaders will be at each meeting to hear from all concerned.
What can we do better?
What are we committed to doing moving forward?
What should we be doing that we are not doing?
What are we doing that Louisiana Baptists want us to stop doing?
Where have we lost trust in this cooperative endeavor to do more together than we can do by ourselves?

“We may not be at a crisis, but we are certainly at a crossroads.”

Dr. Steve Horn
Addressing the current status of the Cooperative Program
