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.

Youth Camp 2024
SCBA youth joined youth from Reynolds, Cane Creek Stoddard, and Southeast Missouri Baptist Associations

to Kacey Pierce and Nici Brotherton who served two weeks back to back at camp and Bro. Kurt McKinney
