Our Mission and Values

Our Mission:

The Clay-Platte Baptist Association cultivates healthy churches and their leaders to reach the Northland and the nations for Jesus.

OUR VALUES:

MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS:

We value relationships between churches and their leaders in order to foster a greater sense of community in the region that we live and seek to reach with the gospel.  We believe our common faith, doctrine, and values enable us to form a mutual bond of love and honor and provide synergy in our shared mission.

PURPOSEFUL PARTNERSHIPS:

We value cooperative efforts among churches to accomplish common mission objectives.  We believe that by working together we can more effectively expand the kingdom of God through joint ministry and mission endeavors.

KINGDOM EXPANSION:

We value being healthy churches that intentionally partner together to proclaim the gospel and strategically fulfill the Great Commission.  We believe Jesus calls us to make disciples, develop leaders, and send forth church planters and missionaries both as individual congregations and in collaboration with one another.

Healthy Leadership:

We believe healthy leaders are best able to lead healthy churches.  Therefore, we value providing and engaging in training experiences such as conferences, cohorts and coaching for information and inspiration that results in improved leadership.

Congregational Support:

We value churches working together to assist one another toward health and vibrancy.  We believe we can strengthen and encourage struggling congregations through coaching, consultation and through revitalization and replanting efforts.

Faithful Stewardship:

We value providing and sharing resources in a trustworthy manner that help churches and leaders better accomplish their work, as well as for collaborative ministry efforts.  We value networking among churches, denominational entities and other sources to procure and link resources with opportunities. 

Relevant Communication:

We value sharing relevant information in relevant and effective ways to help churches be informed of important issues, partnership opportunities and pertinent events.
