We are affiliated with the American Baptist Association (ABA) and established with the desire of supporting mission work. The ABA is a fellowship of Baptist churches who have elected to associate with each other for the furtherance of the cause of Christ. Through their associated efforts, these churches send and support missionaries in many areas of the world.
