“Struggling associations need intervention from outside the association. Their director or strategist may easily burn out and need personal support,” writes George Bullard.
Stumbling associations are the most crucial of all associations because they often have wonderful potential but lack focus and proactive missional actions, writes George Bullard.
Strong Baptist associations exhibit praiseworthy clarity about their mission and vision. They strive for congregations to see the association as a family of congregations, says George Bullard.

People are often inundated with information in the digital world, making it easy for important information to be overlooked. But how can associations distribute a newsletter that is both attention-grabbing and informational?
George Bullard discusses the importance of crafting a church in the image of God rather than earthly institutions. For the church to be made into the image of God, it must be open to spiritual, strategical and structural change.
Churches are the foundational building block for Christian ministry. Everything else should complement and support church ministry, says George Bullard, who has spent 45 years in denominational ministry.
