 Serving Our Community for 140 Years

Marion baptist Association member churches demonstrate their love for God and people through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The word "gospel" simply means "good news". The good news is that God came to earth in the form of a human person, named Jesus Christ. Jesus lived among us, was tempted by satan, crucified on on the cross and arose from the dead after three days in the tomb. He ascended into Heaven and will return to earth. By dying on the cross, he paid for our sin so that we can receive forgiveness and be redeemed by God.

Transforming Lives, Strengthening Communities

---

At the heart of the Marion Baptist Association, our mission transcends beyond the walls of our churches. United by a profound love for God and a commitment to serve people, our member churches are beacons of hope, illuminating the path to spiritual fulfillment through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel, or the "good news," is the cornerstone of our faith – a testament to God's boundless love, exemplified through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This message of redemption and forgiveness is the foundation upon which we build our community outreach and support.
