Disaster Relief Mid-Hurricane Season Update

MBA Enlistment Committee Needs Your Help

The Associational Enlistment Committee is at work filling the positions vacant for 2021-2023. If you feel led to serve in any of the open positions, or if you could recommend someone to serve, it would be of great help to this Committee and the Association.

Please pray and let us know by August 11, 2020 of any suggestions that you might have. The desire is to involve as many people from the Association as possible. It would be best to have all of the active churches represented in some way in the Association. The MBA Committees’ job descriptions are located here.

Pray for the Enlistment Committee as they meet, make contacts, and accomplish the task. There is a lot to do and these committees are so vital to the success of the Mobile Baptist Association, and to the Kingdom of God. 

Please find the nomination/recommendation form here.

ACPs Due September 3, 2020

Annual Church Profiles/Reports (ACPs) are in the mail to church mailing addresses. Please look for your church's ACP and make sure the Church Clerk gets the packet. Completed ACPs are due September 3. 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://vimeo.com/282117957

Help Get the Word out about Baptist Campus Ministries

Friends and Supporters of Baptist Campus Ministries:

Baptist Campus Ministries exists to worship and serve Jesus Christ as we reach, grow and send collegians for Him.

If you have students in your Church, family members or family friends that are planning to attend any college or university in Mobile in the Fall as freshmen or transfer students please share this image with them and have them connect with BCM through our New Student Portal here:

Help us reach, grow, and send collegians with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Camp Relief Sunday, September 13, 2020

We are so grateful for the love and support we have received, but we need your help.
