Click Here for a Detailed History of the Morgan Baptist Association


The Morgan Baptist Association has been serving the people of Morgan County Alabama since 1919. During more than a century of ministry, MBA has helped her member churches find ways to partner together for the kingdom of God and for the glory of God. Today, almost 70 Southern Baptist Churches are members of the Morgan Baptist Association. These churches are located across our county from the far north along the Tennessee River to the far south along the county line.

The association exists not to do the work of the local church but rather to assist, encourage, promote, and support the work of the local church. Our facility in Hartselle, Alabama includes the MBA office, a conference room, a larger meeting room, and other office space, as well as the Caring Place Ministry and the Sycamore Bargain Center thrift store. Our association’s Disaster Relief Unit is also located on this same property.

Every week, these facilities are used by countless people who gather at the association for fellowship, meetings, prayer, worship, spiritual support, Christian counseling, physical support, and a whole host of other ministries. The Caring Place, Disaster Relief, Sycamore Bargain Center, and MBA Office Staff and Volunteers all work together to share the love of Jesus through these various ministries.

In addition to the weekly activities that happen at the facility in Hartselle, the Morgan Baptist Association is involved in many other ministries such as Talladega Raceway Ministries, the Caring Place Bible Study, Vacation Bible School, Deaf Ministry, College Ministry, Senior Adult Ministry, Women’s Ministry, Volunteer Missions, both locally and abroad, Youth Ministry, various ministry training, as well as others.
