Our Mission

The SNBA is an association of Baptist churches in Southeast Texas. Since 1852, Baptists in these piney woods have realized that even autonomous congregations are "better together".  In 1964, the associations of New Bethel, Sabine Valley, and Emmanuel began working together as the  Sabine Neches Baptist Area.  This group began to streamline associational budget and ministry priorities of their partnering churches throughout the Area, and in 2021 they officially began to operate as one association together.  The SNBA is funded wholly by contributing church partners.

Our unified focused priorities are summarized in the following words:

SOW.  KNOW.  GROW.  GO!

  • Sow

    Church planting, replanting and revitalization, and cultivating missions.

  • Know

    Connecting leaders and informing churches about our work and partnership.

  • Grow

    Advancing area church leaders and creating programs that assist churches in training and discipleship.

  • Go

    Helping churches carry out the great commission by mobilizing people and resources around the world.

Keep bragging
