About Grayson Baptist Association

How do Grayson Baptist Churches partner in local missions?

ACTS 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Who is the Grayson Baptist Association?  

The Grayson Baptist Association (GBA) is a remarkable mosaic of local Southern Baptist congregations.  With 65 churches, representing 27,000+ members, and 934 square miles, GBA churches vary in size, vision, ethnicity, and location.

But we share one God, one Savior, one gospel, and one Great Commission.  The churches of  Grayson County are called to take the gospel to the ends of the earth, beginning with our own communities.  That is why the GBA exists.  We are not a church, but together we assist churches in fulfilling the Great Commission.  Do you share our calling?

Our Mission
