Welcome to the Mid-Valley Southern Baptist Association, where we are dedicated to Encouraging Your Church on its journey to fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. As a cooperative partnership of Southern Baptist Churches in Fresno and the surrounding three counties, we are here to assist, encourage, and coordinate the efforts of our cooperating congregations as they labor together in the spirit of the Great Commandment.
Explore our website to discover how we can assist you with our five core priorities: Church Starting, Church Health, Pastor/Leadership Development, Missions/Ministries, and Fellowship/Encouragement. Together, we can make a significant impact on our community and beyond.
Mid-Valley Southern Baptist Association is more than just an organization; we are a community of churches united by a common purpose. Our association exists to come alongside partner churches in Fresno and the surrounding counties as they strive to fulfill the Great Commission.
Our dedicated Mission Strategist, Greg Kilgore, brings a wealth of experience and passion to our mission. From his theological education to his pastoral leadership, Greg has been deeply committed to the Southern Baptist faith. His belief in the power of cooperation among Southern Baptist Churches drives our association’s mission.
