View Our Support Groups

Clifford Baptist Church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia (SBC of Virginia). We are affiliated with more than 800 local churches from across the Commonwealth of Virginia. The mission of the SBC of Virginia is coming alongside local churches advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ together to reach our neighbors and the nations.

Clifford Baptist Church sends 9% of our tithes and offerings to SBCV for the Cooperative Program. Other missionaries connected to our church are also supported individually.

Two to three mission trips are planned this year (2025) to support ministry efforts and partners in the region.

A team is preparing for a trip in October 2025 to continue ministry efforts in this area.
