Networks

A key feature of the South Eastern Baptist Association are the geographical networks of churches - building closer relationships with one another and engaging in mission, mutual support and whatever else is appropriate in their area. These are distinct from any clusters, fraternals or other links in which the churches and ministers may be involved.

It is our vision that each network will have a co-ordinator who will oversee the activities of the network and each will also elect a representative to serve on the association executive committee. Networks will sometimes operate individually and sometimes together.

Below are more details on each network and news and prayers from churches within each network. To the right, the details of events going on within each network.
