ABOUT US

Our History
Screven Baptist Association was organized in 1950 with 33 churches as constituent members.  It was named for William Screven, the first Baptist minister in the South, who with a group of Baptists from Kittery, Maine formed the earliest Baptist church in the South in the late 1600's. (Now First Baptist Church of Charleston)


Our Purpose
The purpose of the Screven Baptist Association is to assist and support the churches of the Association and to give focus and vision to missions objectives that will facilitate the fulfilling of the Great Commission.
