At the West Florida Baptist Association, we have clear statements that help identify who we are and what we do. Our Mission statement states the purpose of our existence, and our vision statement shows what our goals are moving forward in this ministry. We hope you find this clear, helpful, and concise.

Mission Statement: We exist to assist churches and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Vision Statement: Assist and Advance

Our association assists churches and advances the gospel by providing financial, prayerful, and strategic support for our four mission imperatives: pastoral helps, mission endeavors, church renewal, and ministry support.

Four Mission Imperatives:

1. Pastoral Helps: supporting the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of our pastors and providing opportunities for them to grow and flourish in their ministry calling.

2. Mission Endeavors: supporting the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the work and ministry of our churches in their outreach to their communities and throughout the world.

3. Church Renewal: supporting our churches efforts to become healthy, thriving churches that are engaged in the mission of Jesus Christ.

4. Ministry Support: supporting our cooperating ministries and entities through the association.

We will effectively win people for Christ when we are fulfilling the Mission and the Vision of our association through the local church.
