Welcome!

Located in Southwest Illinois, the Gateway Baptist Association serves to unite the efforts of over 50 churches in the St. Louis Metro-East area. Our goal and desire is to provide all of our churches the resources necessary to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost and to disciple the Body of Believers within each church.

We can help provide your church the materials necessary for:

  • church growth/health consultation
  • Bible teaching improvement
  • leadership training for pastors, staff and lay leaders
  • evangelism strategy development
  • missions partnerships and training, and much more.

We can also help your staff with many different services such as:

  • creating labels for mass mailings
  • assistance in preparation of flyers and mailings for churches
  • demographic analysis and mapping of your church field
  • gathering and compiling annual church statistics
  • mapping for neighborhood surveys, and more. Just ask!

So, take some time to let us know what is happening in your church and community to help spread the Good News. We love to hear from our churches. And please, let us know how we can better serve your needs!
