193rd CBA Annual Meeting Recap:
Celebrating Progress and Moving Forward Together
Thank you to everyone who attended the Cleveland Baptist Association’s 193rd Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church. We are deeply grateful for our pastors, leaders, delegates, volunteers, and national guests who made this gathering a meaningful time of worship, learning, and fellowship.
A special "Thank you" to Pastor Jeremy Wanton and Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church for hosting this meeting. We also thank Magda Amargos and the American Baptist Foundation for the donation of bags and meeting materials.
We excitedly commemorated the addition of 2 new covenant churches to our Association: New Sardis Primitive Baptist Church and Purpose Community Church.
Congratulations once again to this year's graduates of the Ohio Leadership Academy (OLA): Dr. Heather Burton, Dr. Shirley Burks, and Rev. Lachelle Dixon-Harris.
As we look ahead with excitement to our 2026–2028 Strategic Vision, we celebrate what God is doing among us and embrace the great possibilities of what we can accomplish together for the strength of our churches and the transformation of our communities.
