Why Join the GBA?
The Grayson Baptist Association exists to support, strengthen, and serve local churches across our region and we’d love to partner with yours.

STEPS FOR GBA MEMBERSHIP
Churches Eligible for Membership
Churches applying for membership must be at least one year old (including time as a mission). Each must hold core beliefs that align with, or at least do not contradict, our stated faith convictions in the Baptist Faith & Message, be committed to work in fellowship with member churches, and commit to ongoing financial support of GBA ministries. (member churches are encouraged to contribute 3% of undesignated receipts).
Application Options
Eligible churches may apply either as Membering Churches (seeking full affiliation, beginning with a one-year Watchcare period before full voting membership) or as Partner Churches (participating in ministries and fellowship without pursuing SBC affiliation).
Next Steps
Once an application is submitted, the GBA leadership team will meet with the church’s pastor, present a recommendation, and upon approval, welcome the church into cooperative ministry and fellowship.
We look forward to celebrating your church’s joining and walking together in ministry!
