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 America (http://bmaamerica.org) is comprised of approximately 1400 churches across the US. Those 1400 churches have chosen to cooperate together to support several departments or ministries – BMA Global, Lifeword, Baptist Publishing House, BMA Seminary, Daniel Spring Camp, BMA Financial, and BMA Moral Action.
BMA GLOBAL is the international missionary sending agency of the BMA of America. The president of BMA GLOBAL is Dr. John David Smith.
