Mobilizing churches to strategically engage our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
WHO WE ARE
SCBA is a network of 61 churches who are motivated to work together because of their common mission, setting, and values, all built on a culture of trust and cooperation. Since its conception in 1886, the SCBA has inspired each of its churches to develop a passion to come together for the sake of reaching our community with the Gospel & advance the kingdom of God!
OUR VISION
Mobilizing churches to strategically engage our community
with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION
- Promoting fellowship & cooperation among our local churches, the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board (TBMB), & Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)
- Fostering an atmosphere of genuine prayer
- Providing strategic resources/training through the TBMB for discipleship that lead to a deeply rooted faith in God & His Word
- Sending believers with the Gospel from our "Jerusalem" to the ends of the earth
- Encouraging churches to meet the physical, mental, & spiritual needs in our community
MISSIONAL STRATEGY
Our mission involves four strategic initiatives that we believe are essential for creating an atmosphere of togetherness among our pastors & communities.
Encourage
We strive to encourage our pastors as often as possible because we believe a healthy pastor fosters healthy churches. We meet the first Wednesday each month to discuss relevant topics they're facing & working through. Another focal point of our ministry to pastors is providing resources that aim to improve their well-being as well as their personal/professional development.
Explore
We are expecting God to work miraculously in our county; therefore, it is important that we prepare for the expansion of His Kingdom here on earth. In light of that, we hope to generate sending & supporting churches cooperatively working so that church planters & their families will be able to plant healthy, gospel-centered churches.
Equip
While we are here to provide resources & tools for our churches, we hope to become more than a central hub for evangelism tracts & discipleship literature. One of our goals is to be able to provide funding for people from smaller churches who have a desire to get involved in missions but can't receive financial support from their sending church. We are always looking for practical ways to help our churches, ministry leaders, & pastors do what they do best.'
Engage
Although our function is different from that of a church, our mission is the same - "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations...". We are partnering with several local ministries who are already making an impact in Sevier County & beyond. We hope to continue to strengthen these relationships & create many more as we engage our community for the sake of sharing the Gospel.
Please continue to pray with & for us about the next steps God wants us to take going forward...we believe that earnest prayer from sincere hearts is always followed by a movement of God!
