you don’t have to lead alone

“Stronger Together: Leading a church is never meant to be done alone. The CBA partners with churches to strengthen their mission, empower leaders, multiply kingdom impact, and provide gospel-centered connection every step of the way.”

  • “We are deeply grateful for your steadfast support of Radiant Church of Charleston. Your leadership and generosity—through pastoral retreats, workshops, fellowship opportunities, and the generous grant for our staff leadership retreat—has profoundly blessed our ministry. CBA's Kingdom-minded partnership strengthens our work and equips our leaders to serve more effectively.”

    Walter Belton, Radiant Church

  • “I have experienced first hand the care that our Charleston Baptist Association has for its pastors and church leaders. From the staff enrichment events, like TopGolf, to the strategic leadership development through Saturate's Disciple Making Labs, the CBA invests in the spiritual and emotional health of the pastors and leaders in ministry. The support and encouragement from their team helps sustain the soul and sharpen the mind of those who embrace these opportunities!”

    Marty Middleton, Fort Johnson Baptist Church
