Network of Baptist Associations Break 300 Membership Mark

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA – In the three hundredth anniversary year of associations, the Network of Baptist Associations (NoBA) announces that their membership has now surpassed the three hundred-member mark. NoBA Executive Director and Sierra Baptist Association’s Director of Missions, Eddie Miller commented, “It is a very exciting day in the life of NoBA! It is obvious that God is blessing the idea that Associations are a vital part of the work of churches all over North America. Three hundred is a great number this year for Baptist Associations.

The Network of Baptist Associations is a professional community of Baptist associations from forty states that are networking to strengthen each other for the work of assisting churches in accomplishing God’s mission. The NoBA organization was officially launched in January 2007. NoBA seeks to provide Associational Directors of Missions, plus associational staff and officers, with resources and networking opportunities that will strengthen the ministry of associations in the United States. Associational staff members or associational lay leaders are encouraged to get more information or join the NoBA organization at www.NoBAsbc.org. Members have full access to hundred's of resources that help them to be effective in ministering to their associational churches.

Miller continued, “It is no small thing that God is raising up the Network of Baptist Associations at this time in history. Let’s see what we can do together for the Kingdom!”
