Vibrant Church Community Support
Since 1925, the Chipola Baptist Association has been a fellowship of autonomous Southern Baptist churches in Northwest Florida. While each church is independent, we choose to cooperate, believing we can accomplish more for our communities by working together than we can alone.. Contact us at (850) 526-4050 to learn about our mission and programs.
Support for Our Churches
We offer practical assistance to our member churches in three key areas: developing healthy leaders, strengthening local ministries, and mobilizing congregations for missions. Our goal is to provide the guidance and resources each church needs to effectively serve its unique community.
Our Shared Mission
Our shared purpose is to fulfill the Great Commission by proclaiming the Gospel and making disciples throughout the Chipola River region and the world. This mission inspires everything we do, from local outreach and church planting to supporting missions on a global scale. We are convinced that our churches can make a greater impact by combining their strengths and supporting one another in this vital work.
Enhancing Worship
Unify worship experiences through shared celebrations, enhancing communal bonds and reinforcing collective Gospel objectives for regional impact.
Maximizing Resources
Leverage joint resources and expertise to bolster church initiatives, achieving greater outreach and communal nurturing effectiveness.
Fostering Regional Church Unity
Our association enhances church collaboration through shared worship, event partnerships, and mutual support, fostering vibrant church communities.
