About Us
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the Lee County Baptist Association. We hope that after you look through our website, you will consider becoming a more active part of our growing community of faith.
Lee County Baptist Association exists to help churches make disciples of Christ. We help churches develop mission strategies for mobilizing mission volunteers, community evangelism and outreach events and ministries, leadership development, nurturing church health and new church strategies.
A Community of Faith
Since its organization in 1845 in Augusta, Georgia, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has grown to over 16 million members who worship in more than 42,000 churches in the United States. Southern Baptists sponsor about 5,000 home missionaries serving the United States, Canada, Guam and the Caribbean, as well as sponsoring more than 5,000 foreign missionaries in 153 nations of the world.
The term “Southern Baptist Convention” refers to both the denomination and its annual meeting. Working through 1,200 local associations and 41 state conventions and fellowships, Southern Baptists share a common bond of basic Biblical beliefs and a commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world.
You become a Southern Baptist by uniting with a Southern Baptist church, one in friendly cooperation with the general Southern Baptist enterprise of reaching the world for Christ. Typically church membership is a matter of accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord and experiencing believer’s baptism by immersion.
