About our Association

Established in 1858 on the Castor River Front in Marquand, Missouri. Our association has ten churches that span from Madison County to Bollinger County. We started out as a group of members focused on church planting and going out into the world to spread the gospel. In 1957, the association was gifted land very near where the association was founded to construct a church camp to witness to children, teens, and adults in our area. Through the continued support of the churches, we are still spreading the gospel and training missionaries to go out into the world. Our current mission focuses on items listed below, please click on the links to find out more.

Verse of the Month
September 2022
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ~ Matthew 6:31-33
