What is the Mid-State Baptist Association?
|
We are a group of churches working together to share Christ with our community and the world. We invite you to join with us in our effort by sharing you and your family's ministry
through one of our churches in Bibb, Jones, Monroe, Peach and Wilkinson counties. The Mid-State Baptist Association seeks to stimulate church health, develop leaders and, as we work together, transform communities. |
Everyone wins when a leader gets better. Bill Hybels 
We do not focus on attendance; we focus on assimilating the people God brings to us...... Rick Warren The Purpose Driven Church |
Our churches share a common purpose. What is the purpose of a church? Worship Psalm 9:1-2 "I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart: I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." Fellowship John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." Growing and Helping Others to Grow Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Serving the World Matthew 25:35 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Letting People Know There Is Hope In Christ Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
