Our Purpose
We are a group of churches working together to help our community and the world have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Mid-State Baptist Association seeks to stimulate church health, develop leaders and, as we work together, transform communities.
Mid-State Baptist Association is a network of Baptist churches in Jones, Monroe, Wilkinson and Bibb counties that work together to help our community be a better place to live. We provide all kinds of opportunities for children, students and adults in learning, making friendships and serving others. Our churches provide disaster relief, a food bank, tutoring, marriage enrichment, financial classes, activities for retired adults, construction projects to help churches, schools and camps and more.
Our churches provide worship services and small groups to help people study the Bible and learn more about how God works in a person's life to bring transformation. We give generously to help communities all over the world with schools, hospitals, housing, food, water, and disaster relief.
