The Red River Baptist Association is a cooperative mission effort comprised of 42 Baptist Churches and works from 7 counties in southwestern Arkansas. Founded in 1848, their mission is to work together to carry out the Great Commission, supporting each other through fellowship, church and ministry starts, and the development of missions to reach the world for Christ. Affiliated with the Arkansas Baptist State Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention, the Red River Baptist Association envisions its 42 churches and missions as actively engaged in local missions with a global vision. They believe that a vision of their mission field smaller than the world is too limited, while recognizing that all missions and ministries are carried out in a local setting.Generated from the website
