Southwestern Baptist
Association of New Mexico

About Us

The Southwestern Baptist Association ministers to a diverse group of people in Grant, Hidalgo, Catron and Luna counties. SWBA churches partner together to carry out the Great Commission. As we partner together we are able to support a variety of ministries that build up believers and reach the lost world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.


"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," 

Matthew 28:19

Who Are

We are a group of 15 separate Baptist churches and mission points working cooperatively to bring the Gospel message to the southwestern region of New MexicoThe Southwestern Baptist Association area stretches from Columbus on the southern border north to Glenwood, and from the southwest at Rodeo to the northeast to Mimbres Valley.  We believe that a cooperating church is better able to minister to more individuals working together.


The purpose of SWBA is to be a resource of support for each of the churches and to enable them to minister well in their local community and region. The SWBA seeks to help equip pastors and lay leaders for the work of the ministry, to promote healthy churches, and to plant churches that will take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world and disciple its people.
