What is the Baptist Association?
Many people who are unfamiliar with Southern Baptist life---perhaps even some people who have been Southern Baptists for years---have often asked that question. While the association has been defined in various ways, the simplest definition is "a self-governing fellowship of churches on mission."
The 53 churches and missions comprising Northeast Louisiana Baptist Association (Ouachita Parish) and the 24 churches and mission comprising Morehouse Baptist Association (Morehouse Parish) choose to join themselves in a partnership. While these churches are diverse, they share a common goal. They are a family of churches, supporting, encouraging and caring for one another. They also share a common commitment to carry forth Christ’s mandate set forth in Acts 1:8, being witnesses of Jesus Christ both in their area as well as to the "uttermost part of the earth".
