Welcome
Why does the CVBA exist?
The Concho Valley Baptist Association exists because it follows the biblical model God gives us. The Church is referred to as:
- …the Bride of Christ, this implies partnership;
- …His Army, this implies a need for others to accomplish an assigned task;
- …His Family, this implies the necessity of relationships;
- …His Body, this implies the need for cooperation.
Life is a family/team experience. The stronger your family/team, the more you can accomplish. As Solomon once wrote: And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him– a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecc 4:12 ESV)
Over 40 Southern Baptist churches and missions have joined together to make their voices stronger and their efforts more powerful and effective in building God’s Kingdom in the Concho Valley and around the world. (Matthew 6:33)
What churches are part of the CVBA?
Currently we have 42 churches partnering with each other from Carlsbad, Christoval, Eldorado, Eola, Grape Creek, Mertzon, Ozona, Robert Lee, San Angelo, Sonora, Sterling City and Water Valley.
African-American, Anglo, Hispanic and a Korean churches have joined together for mutual support and ministry.

Keith and his wife, Terri, are originally from Texas. Keith grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, and Terri was raised in San Antonio. They met while attending Mary Hardin Baylor University.
Keith and Terri have three married children and three grandchildren. Their son and his wife and one of their daughters and her husband live in Belton, Tx. Their younger daughter and her husband live in Arizona. In addition, both sets of their parents live in Belton. As can be imagined, they have had a desire to move back to Texas.
Terri is experienced in non-profit work and has been the Executive Assistant and Office Administrator at Seeds of Hope, a non-profit social service provider in Casa Grande, AZ.
Keith will be on-site beginning in January 2023, but he is already rolling with his new position and is in the process of familiarizing himself with the CVBA churches and church leadership.
