About the Southeastern Indiana Baptist Association

The Southeastern Indiana Baptist Association is a group of local Southern Baptist Churches which voluntarily cooperate together to exalt Christ by equipping one another to fulfill  the Great Commission of Jesus Christ in Southern Indiana and the world

Christ-exalting: As an association of churches, we exist to honor and glorify Jesus Christ in everything we do. (Colossians 3:17)

Biblically-grounded: As an association of churches, we exist to strengthen one another in our shared reliance on the Bible as our final authority in everything we believe and do. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

In the next 5+ years we dream of seeing God work through SEIBA churches to increase the churched population of southeastern Indiana to 25% (from 20%) within 5 years beginning in 2018.
