Upcoming Events
Spring Grant Applications are Open for Strengthening Churches Foundation
The CBA Strengthening Churches Foundation exists to help our Association Churches fulfill the Great Commission. Our primary function is providing funds to support ministry initiatives arising from local churches. Our special focus is helping established churches grow, revitalize, or re-plant to accelerate Kingdom impact.
Any CBA church can fill out an application for a grant. Requests should be directly related to the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission and accelerating Kingdom impact. In most cases, requests to support evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development efforts will take precedence over requests for debt payments, building maintenance, and technology upgrades. Deadline to submit applications is April 2, 2026.
Spring Fight Club: Reaching Young Families
Young families are searching for truth and belonging, often more open to the Gospel than we realize. Are we positioned to reach them?
Join us for Reaching Young Families, a practical training designed to help churches remove barriers, build authentic relationships, and disciple the next generation.
