About this facility

Mission: Welcome to Gulf Coast Baptist Association. Our desire is to help cooperating congregations become healthy, Great Commission Churches in Harrison, Hancock, and Stone Counties. We trust you will find our Web site informative and inspirational. We pray that the Kingdom of God will be built in the Gulf Coast as our churches serve our Lord together.

The GCBA is enthusiastic about the future. We are attempting to refocus our energies and gifts to enable us to strengthen churches and build the Kingdom of God. The GCBA is committed to developing leadership among our ministers and laity by providing quality training and personal support system for our leaders in the setting where they serve.

We are also committed to ushering in a church planting movement in the association. As we look into the future we envision doubling the number of churches in our association. The Kingdom must be built because of the command we have from our Lord. Through developing strong mother churches and enlisting vision minded church planters, we hope to build the Kingdom with new churches.
Service: Temporary

Notes

This facility does not provide onsite housing for volunteers but can assist in placing volunteers in housing. They provide work orders and are working on rebuilding 30 homes in the MS Gulf. Urgent needs are for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled construction volunteers. They need folks to volunteer from a few days to a bi-weekly or monthly committment. They'd like to see church groups commit and 'adopt' projects.
