Our Mission:Christ gave Christians the mission to spread the gospel. We were told to do that in partnership with one another. SCBA's mission is to connect churches, promote fellowship, and to help one another in our divinely appointed mission of spreading the Word of Jesus Christ locally and globally.
Bible Verse of the week"The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me. LORD, your faithful love endures forever; do not abandon the works of your hands." Psalm 138:8 CSB |

Youth Camp 2024
SCBA youth joined youth from Reynolds, Cane Creek Stoddard, and Southeast Missouri Baptist Associations
for a joint Youth Camp July 15-19. 100+ youth were in attendance, 11 of those being from SCBA. Messages
were brought daily by Pastor Luke Hockenjos of Haughton, Louisiana with worship led by WeRCalled. The youth also participated in daily mission projects and recreation time lead by Sports Crusaders. Special thanks
to Kacey Pierce and Nici Brotherton who served two weeks back to back at camp and Bro. Kurt McKinney
who stepped in to help us as a boys cabin leader this year. What a wonderful week it was!
We can't wait to see what next year has in store.
