About Us
“Churches Doing More Together”
As noted in the 'official' ARVBA brochure,
"Associations have been in existence in America since 1707
when the Philadelphia Baptist Association was formed. The
founding principles were,
(1) Preserving "Baptist Doctrine and Traditions"
(2) Promoting Fellowship and cooperation between
local Baptist Churches
and
(3) A common desire for evangelism and missions. "
The thirty three churches that presently make up the
Arkansas River Valley Baptist Association are as
dedicated to those founding principles as were the first
group of congregations to identify themselves with such
a title. We work closely with each other, our State
Convention and our National Denominational entities to
proclaim the good news of Christ’s salvation!
The ARVBA is comprised of
churches in Pope, Yell, Logan, and
Johnson counties.Our Statement of
Faith is summed up in the Southern
Baptist’s “Baptist Faith and Message”
