|  | | | | Annual Church Profiles/Reports (ACPs) were mailed to church mailing addresses August 2, 2023. Please look for your church's ACP and make sure the Church Clerk gets the packet. Completed ACPs are due September 5. This profile of your church is a very important task for your church statistics and leadership personnel to be properly documented for the Association, Alabama Baptist State Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention. If you have any questions, please contact the MBA office. Watch this video from Dr. Rick Lance about the importance of the ACP and why we do it. https://fb.watch/mzcMCBdAaI/ |

| |  | Mobile Baptists have a unique opportunity to partner with the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions in March 2024. The MBA will host the inauguration of local simultaneous outreach events we are calling “Making a Difference Mobile.” That title reflects a connection to the 2024 State Convention Annual Meeting theme, DifferenceMakers.
|
The partnership will allow the MBA to receive a limited number of grants for churches to provide outreach events any weekend (or weekday) during March 2024. The events will lead to your harvest events on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024.
|
This Making a Difference Mobile page provides the application form, resources and information to help your congregation join other MBA churches to plan, conduct and follow up on an outreach event. Make plans now to be a part of Making a Difference Mobile!
