Associations are certainly not new. In fact, the first entity that Baptist formed (beyond the local church) was the Baptist Association. The first Association was formed 300 years ago in New England. Today there are more than 1200 Associations located in every corner of the USA. Today associations help churches and their leaders connect to each other for information, resources, fellowship, support and strategic partnerships. Associations are more vital today than ever.
Associations like ours consist of autonomous, self-governing, local Baptist churches who choose to work along side each other for the singular purpose of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus. At its best an Association is churches serving together and serving each other.
