What We Do

For the churches, with the churches!

SUMZBA provides a number of different services and projects to our members churches and the communities.

Our mission is to help help the churches in our association to consistently prosper, mature, and become stronger and more stable.  With this, our members are able to withstand the strong winds of adversity, controversy, and challenge.  Additionally, our churches then become more able to proclaim the gospel to our communities.  But how?

Our association exists for the churches, to aid them in fulfilling their tasks, thereby also service Christ.  We are focused on the churches, to help them gather their communities into their fellowships and influence.  We also cooperate to establish new churches in places where there is no effective evangelical witness being given.

If your church is in need of help, please do not hesitate to call our office!  Remember, our major goal is to help you find the resources and partnerships to make you flourish and shine in your communities in service to Jesus and the Kingdom.
