The Old Colony Baptist Association is a network of Baptist Churches who come together to do ministry that one church could not. It also functions as a way for our churches to fellowship and feel to love of their sister churches. We meet twice a year, spring and fall. In the Fall, we have a mission Saturday where we go to one of our churches and assist with projects that the church can not do on it's own. These include rebuilding the church steps, cleaning the church yard, removing shutters, painting. The hosting church provides lunch and we leave after worshipping together.
In the spring we host a day long church ministry conference on a variety of topics for our churches. In 2014 this workshop was on small church mnistry, In 2015 the workshop was on stewardship. 2016 the speaker was Eddie Hammett who spoke on Reaching People Under 30 While Keeping People over 60. George Bullad was our speaker in 2017 speaking on "Will Your Church Be Here in 10 Years" 2018's workshop will feature Rev. Dr. Debora Jackson, Director of Distance learning for Yale Divinity School, former Executive Minister of the Conference of Baptist Minister. Previous to that she was pastor of First Baptist Church of Needham (Massachusetts) where she lead her church through an incredible renewal process.
We provide some financial support for seminiarians, for those going on missions trips and for campers attending our Baptist camps and conferences.
