Welcome to the Cape Girardeau Baptist Association!
We exist to assist churches in fulfilling the great commission found in Matthew 28:19-20. Our churches partner together to take the gospel to the least reached in the world so that the glory of God might be made known where it is not known and those that are far from God might be brought near through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. To this end, our ministries locally are designed to proclaim the gospel and equip those who believe to engage in the mission of Jesus. Because we are convinced that this mission is given to the church, our ministries are led by local churches partnering together. You can find a complete list of these partnering churches on this site.
Blessings,
John Vernon
Director of Missions
