From the Congress President
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ our Savior!
I am grateful to Almighty God, Moderator Battles and the constituents
of this Association for the confidence, which has been bestowed upon
me. My duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my
constituents and in proportion, as they are persuaded of my fidelity to
those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.
We bring a tremendous amount of excitement into this 2017 Annual Session of the Consolidated St. Marion
Baptist District Congress. Our gratitude goes out to Mt. Harmony Missionary Baptist Church and Dr. Robert
L. Handley for hosting our session. I am grateful to the Congress Staff who have worked together as a team to
bring this Congress to fruition. The Dean's staff has proficiently prepared a certified congress which is relevant
to our local needs. Rev. Kelvin Crumpton and his team have worked tirelessly together keeping our Young
People active all year.
Our purpose is "to promote Christian education in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Bible and to
improve methods of training and equipping in the local church, and for Kingdom Building." We look forward to
seeing you in this 2017 Session of the Congress of Christian Education. Our moderator, Dr. Larry Battles, has
challenged us to “Envision the Future, Exceptionally”. This means that we must continually evaluate where we
have been in the past and where we are in the present to plot an effective course toward an “exceptional” future.
The Congress is continually changing to strengthen and prepare us for that “exceptional” future – and you are
invited to be a part of it! We have planned an exciting, spirit-filled and edifying week of Christian Education.
There will be captivating classes, top-notch faculty, powerful preaching, stimulating lectures and various musical
expressions and art forms offered to edify and equip our delegates for “Making Disciples for Christ”(Matthew
28:19-20). Dean Don Hawkins and his staff has masterfully constructed a curriculum of excellence. This is a
great opportunity for the delegates of your churches to be taught by the most qualified instructors that the
Association has to offer.
Our expectation is for God to show up and display HIS presence at our Congress! You will be inspired,
uplifted, enriched, edified, and challenged to fully embrace God’s Holy Word! If you have any questions, feel
free to contact me at 870-489-3705 or email me at [email protected]. I look forward to seeing you! Many Thanks!
Many Blessings!

From The Congress Health Division
Greetings Consolidated St Marion Baptist District Association:
The month of July & August CSMBDA Health Division will be focusing on National Minority
Mental Health Month, NBCUSA, and Health Outreach Preventative Education (H.O.P.E.)
In conjunction with the National Baptist Congress of Christian Education focusing on African
Americans who are disproportionately affected by many preventable disease processes. The
congress office aim is to bring HOPE to our communities as we take actions that will dramatically
improve our health awareness and positively impact our total well-being.
CSMBDA Health Division believe it's important to educate people about habits and behaviors
that increase the risk of developing mental illnesses, or could be signs of mental health problems
themselves. These include risk factors such as prescription drug misuse, internet addiction,
