Associational Spotlight
Celebration Baptist Church has been commissioned to make disciples throughout the world (Matthew 28:19-20). But, can CBC do the work alone? The truth is that we AREN’T required to do the work alone!
Following the pattern of New Testament Churches, Celebration Baptist Church has partnered with other churches of similar convictions on three levels – a local association (immediate area), a state association (Arkansas) and a national association (America).
The Baptist Missionary Association of Arkansas is comprised of approximately 300 churches across Arkansas. Those 300 churches have chosen to cooperate together to support four departments or ministries – Central Baptist College, BMA of Arkansas State Missions, Baptist Trumpet, and BMA of Arkansas Youth Department.
Central Baptist College is a four year college, unapologetically committed to a Biblical Worldview. The school’s mission statement reads “Central Baptist College is committed to transforming lives through education
that integrates Christian faith and academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment. For more info go to https://www.cbc.edu.
BMA of Arkansas State Missions coordinates the ministries of seven missionaries across the state of Arkansas. Paul White serves as Executive Director.
BMA of Arkansas State Missions supports Juan Carlos Posadas (North Little Rock), Ruben Isturiz (West Little Rock), Johnny Shew (Flippin), Bryan Clay (Benton), Roberto Marcelletti (Northwest Arkansas), Jake McCandless (Pea Ridge) and Michael Hight (Cabot/Jacksonville).
