Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To glorify God by strengthening, supporting, and sending gospel-centered churches across Northeast Michigan and beyond.

We exist to represent the Church of Jesus Christ in our region—encouraging unity, fostering cooperation, and providing leadership and resources that help local churches thrive in their unique callings. Our mission is driven by the Great Commission and the belief that we are called to make disciples not only in our own towns but to the ends of the earth.

Through shared ministry, practical assistance, and strategic partnerships, the Pines Baptist Association helps churches fulfill their God-given purpose—to proclaim Christ, make disciples, and be a light in their communitie

Our Vision

To see a thriving network of churches representing The Church across Northern Michigan—faithfully preaching the gospel, growing disciples, and multiplying through new church plants and revitalized congregations.

We envision:

• A strong regional voice for biblical truth and spiritual unity

• Healthy, supported pastors and church leaders who are not isolated

• Resources, training, and opportunities made available to every church—regardless of size

• New churches planted in underserved areas across our region

• A generation of believers mobilized for local and global mission

We believe that the Church is not confined to buildings or boundaries—and through the Pines Baptist Association, we are committed to helping it grow strong, stand united, and shine brightly across Northeast Michigan.
