Treasure State Baptist Association

ABOUT US

Treasure State Baptist Association is an association of the Southern Baptist Churches located in southwest Montana. There are currently 28 churches, three campus ministries, and two resort ministries in the association. Our geographical area consists of Bozeman, Butte, Helena and covers eleven counties over approximately 40,000 squares miles of southwest Montana.

TSBA is affiliated with the Montana Southern Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention and their entities. Our churches are autonomous in nature and therefore differences can occur. As an Association we subscribe to the Southern Baptist Faith and Message of 2000.

*Mission Statement*	Our mission is to resource churches and ministries as they engage their world with the gospel, seeking to fulfill their unique, God-given vision for carrying out the Great Commission.

*Core Values*
	We value scripture* as our authority and foundation.*
	We value healthy* churches that reproduce and healthy ministry leaders that multiply.*
	We value cooperating together* to conduct missions & ministry by linking resources with needs.*
	We value customizing* our services and conferences to meet the diverse needs of the churches.*
	We value serving* churches with integrity and strive to improve the quality of our service.*

*Vision*	Our vision is that God would choose to work through us so we would see a day when -
	Our churches share the Good News of Jesus Christ with every person throughout southwest Montana. Our churches refocus on executing their God-given mission and become on mission outposts that launch out within and outside their local harvest fields. Our churches reproduce effective native/indigenous leaders that will start and shepherd our churches. Our churches are outfitted with essential resources and training that allows for the leaders and churches to grow and develop into healthy reproducing partners in the harvest. Our churches would partner together in sharing their hearts and hands to fulfill the balanced strategy of Acts 1:8.
*Teams*	TSBA resources our churches through four main TEAMS. The Acts 1:8 Team, Church Health Team, Church Planting Team. To learn more about the TEAMS of Treasure State Baptist Association click on the TEAMS button to the left.
