David's Greetings

Image Hi, welcome to the Capital City Baptist Association (CCBA) website. Our association is proud to be affiliated with the Illinois Baptist State Association and the Southern Baptist Convention. We are an association of twenty-five churches, one Hispanic mission and will hopefully add a new church start to our fellowship at the Capital City Baptist Associational Annual Meeting September 26, 2010.

Exciting things have been happening in CCBA. During World Changers, 196 gospel presentations were made resulting in ten people accepting Jesus as Savior and another six recommitted their lives to Jesus Christ. Yes, the secondary mission, repairing houses resulted in fifteen houses with new roofs, eight houses with new siding, three houses with new handicapped ramps and one house with new windows. It is amazing what God can do through his servants. Thank you World Changers and thank you Capital City Baptist Association. Together we can accomplish much with HIS help!

We in CCBA are praying for new church plants. Four areas have been identified for potential church starts. Those areas are southwest Springfield, New Berlin, Pleasant Plains and Mount Pulaski. We must bath these areas in prayer both daily in our prayer time and while on the streets of those communities. We are praying that God will encourage people that live in those areas to allow us to start Bible Studies to reach their neighbors. We are praying that churches outside our association will partner with us in prayer and come on mission to canvass, do VBSs, block parties, etc.

You may be looking for a mission opportunity and destination and we can assist you. Just drop us an email with your projected dates, type of mission involvement such as, prayer walking, canvassing, VBS, construction, etc. and we will attempt to partner with you to strengthen and expand the Kingdom here in the Springfield area.
