The East Mississippi Baptist State Convention, Inc was organized in 1891 with the desire and purpose of performing both home and foreign mission, and for the fellowship, promulgation of the Gospel of Christ and general Christian educational programs for ministers, laymen, and youth.
Since that time, we have continuously built upon the foundation that was laid before us. It is our prayer that as you navigate through this website you will be enlightened, enriched and enhanced about the great things that are happening within the East Mississippi Family.
As we continuously tread this path that we are on, we are commissioned to continuously Look unto the hills from whence cometh our help, which comes from the Lord during these most critical and perilous times. Thank you again for your untiring support and May God Bless you.
In the Name of Our Risen Christ,
Rev. Ecclesiastes Goodwin, Sr.
President
