Our Mission
To strengthen and support our local churches by partnering together to ignite spiritual awakening through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
We will see a day when the Stone Mountain Baptist Association is filled with healthy, reproducing churches living out the biblical purposes of worship, discipleship, evangelism, ministry, and fellowship — all supported by prayer.
Our Leader
Dr. Bumpers leads with a passion for strengthening pastors and multiplying healthy churches. Through roundtables, training, and strategic coaching, he helps churches move from maintenance to mission — reaching their communities with the Gospel.
“We are better together when we unite to serve Christ and build His Kingdom.”
