Encouraging Pastors

Pastors are the spiritual leaders of the local church. Every church needs a Pastor who is healthy spiritually, emotionally and physically. We are here to encourage Pastors so that God’s work continues.

Hebrews 13:17 “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:  for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”

Equipping Churches

The local church is still God’s plan to share the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. God has called each church to reach their world in a specific way. We exist to equip the local church to accomplish God’s mission to their world.

Matthew 28:19-20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen.”

Engaging in Missions

God’s great commission sends the local baptist churches across the street and around the globe. CGBA exists to support, promote and engage in missions, together with local southern baptist churches, the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Convention so that all peoples may know Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:15 “And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!‘”
