A greeting from our Director of Missions...

I would like to thank you for taking time to get informed about the work of the Bradley Baptist Association. I am often asked several questions about our work. Let me take a few moments to share what I feel like our Mission, our Vision, and our Values are.

OUR MISSION

What is our biblical purpose for existing? What do we propose to do?

The Bradley Baptist Association is a network of Southern Baptist Churches committed to glorifying God by leading the people of Bradley County into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and resource the saints for ministry.

OUR VISION

What is the ultimate end for our mission? A photograph of the future……

We are working toward a day when every person in every community in Bradley County will have an opportunity to hear the Gospel, respond with faith in Christ, and participate in a New Testament fellowship of believers.

OUR VALUES

What will be our non-negotiable priorities on which the entire associational structure and activity will be based?
