Breaking New Ground for Kingdom Expansion
Gateway Baptist Association is a local association of over 50 Southern Baptist churches in the St. Louis Metro East area of Illinois who have joined together in voluntary cooperation to partner with each other in reaching our area of Illinois for Christ. Our association was formed in 2003 as a result of a merger between Madison County Baptist Association and Alton Industrial Baptist Association. The cooperative fellowship among our churches allows us to do things together that many churches could not do by themselves. We continue to emphasize spiritual renewal as a chief strengthening tool for our churches.
What We Are About
