Strawberry Baptist Association now has its own Website at "www.sbava.org"! We invite you to drop by, check out the useful information, and share our address with others.
This site is designed with “Internet evangelism” in mind. You will quickly discover that there are many pages and links that are not directly related to our associational ministry. That is by design. We are striving to provide general information that unchurched people will be interested in. |
