Mission Statement
The Saluda Baptist Association of churches is a fellowship of Southern Baptist congregations who have organized as Kingdom Partners, to facilitate mutual encouragement and cooperation in fulfilling the Great Commission. 
Matthew 28:16–20          The Great Commission

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV)

Partners in Church Development
​
Partners in Church Developments utilize the wealth of resources available to revitalize existing churches and look for areas where a church plant would impact the Kingdom. This provides opportunities for churches to partner in revitalization or planting of churches, resources that will assist and encourage the day-to-day operation of the church and provides training opportunities for churches in small group Bible study, discipleship, prayer, evangelism, etc. The Church Development needs will be coordinated by the Director of Missions with the assistance of the Administrative Team and others he might enlist.

Partners in Discipleship

Partners in discipleship encourage and challenge churches to understand how people go from spiritual death to life.

The focus would be to gather church leaders to introduce a discipleship processes that can be reproduced in individual churches.
