Commission: This team was developed by the leadership team of the association to explore and develop a plan to promote mission cooperation in the association.

• When the team began, the idea was to develop a World Mission Celebration project that fit our association. After a couple of meetings, all agreed that what we desire to develop is a movement and not just a weekend emphasis.

 

Association Mission Statement: "Concord Baptist Association - individual churches united in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20)"

 

Purpose: Help strengthen all churches of the association by developing an environment of cooperation in our God-given mission following an Acts 1:8 model of reaching out to our communities, the state, nation, and the world.

 

Vision: The churches of Concord Baptist Association united in seeking spiritual transformation through mobilization, cooperation, and celebration of our God-given mission.

 

 

 

 

 

•  Mobilization: To lead an initiative that prepares and resources God's people to be engaged where he is at work.

 

• Cooperation: To assist churches through connecting, resourcing and training to engage their local and global community with the Kingdom message.
