Our Lord's Prayer . . .
"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

Our mission...
Is to fulfill the desire of Christ. The Catawba Valley Baptist Association is a cooperative fellowship of like-minded churches that seek the unity of the Holy Spirit and the bond of peace. Through that fellowship we seek to insure that the gospel message completely permeates the Catawba Valley in the manner that is worthy of our calling.
His promise...
Is that the world will know and believe. We claim that promise for the Catawba Valley. We commit ourselves to walk in confidence of that promise and welcome all those who join with us in that mission.
