Greene County Baptists

Tomorrow night, Sunday September 9, the Greene County Baptist Association, consisting of over 90 congregations, will have its 140th Annual Meeting (6-8pm) and Missions Fair (5pm) at Second Baptist Church. In 1873, seven Baptist churches came together to form the Association. Second joined them when we started as a church in 1885.

Of the many partnerships Second Baptist has, the Greene County Baptist Association is the longest lasting, 127 years and counting. This truly is amazing.

The main theme for tomorrow night's session is church planting. Greene County Baptists, under the leadership of our Director of Missions Dr. Mike Haynes, is on the cutting edge of how associations should be leading the way in helping our congregations plant new churches. I consider it an honor to be part of the progressive, forward looking, Greene County Baptist Association.

By the way, I'm preaching at the meeting tomorrow night. My assigned topic is church planting. I can do this.
