The Austin Baptist Association is an alliance of participating congregations fulfilling the Great Commission.

It is our desire for every Southern Baptist church in Austin to be a participating member of the ABA.

The qualifications laid out by the ABA Constitution are simple:

1. Each member church is encouraged to contribute 3% of its undesignated annual receipts to the work of the ABA. The minimum level of participation will be either 1% of undesignated annual receipts of $30,000.00 (whichever is less).
2. At least once every three years, each member church will be involved in sponsoring, co-sponsoring, partnering with or otherwise actively participating in a new church plant in the Austin area.
3. Each member church will participate in “Great Commision” efforts with ABA member churches at least once a year.
4. Each member church will submit an annual report prior to the October Regular Meeting.
