Welcome

The Baptist Missionary Association of Texas (BMAT) consists of over 460 Baptist churches across the state of Texas. Our association endeavors to unify the work of the churches as they fulfill the Great Commission in their local communities, the state of Texas, and ultimately, the world.

To accomplish this, we plant new churches and provide resources to assist cooperating churches in developing their ministries of family and childcare, evangelism, discipleship, and Christian education. Through these ministries we anticipate God’s blessings in the salvation of the lost, the strengthening of the family, and the spiritual, numerical, and financial growth of the churches.

Our association of churches operates the Texas Baptist Home for Children, a state missions department, and a bimonthly publication, Baptist Progress in Waxahachie, Texas. The BMAT owned Baptist Book Center, a division of our Department of Resource and Ministry Development is located in Dallas. Our two-year college, Jacksonville College, is located in Jacksonville, Texas.
