A family of churches . . .
On Mission Together
We are a family of churches, partners in the gospel. As an association of Southern Baptist churches, we are on mission together to further the gospel (Phil. 2:22) of Jesus Christ our Lord in the Western Nevada and Eastern California region and around the world.
What does that look like?
First, we work with one another. We keep in mind that we truly are better together. Second, we grow in grace, as we seek to have strong churches that make disciples. Third, we serve our communities. We pray for our neighbors. We look for ways to enrich their lives. Fourth, we proclaim Christ, working to saturate our region with the gospel.
God has entrusted us with a great task of reaching people with the good news of Jesus Christ. So, like the church in Antioch (see Bible passage below), the churches of the SBA are on mission to advance the gospel for the glory of God.
After they had preached the gospel . . .
21 After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” 23 When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
24 They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia. 25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished. 27 When they had arrived and gathered the church together, they began to report all things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they spent a long time with the disciples.
