Association of State Baptist Publications

Both BCA and ASBP have adapted to ongoing changes in the field of communications over the years. In 2024, members of both organizations approved a recommendation that ASBP become a division within BCA in order to maximize the options for shared funding, administration, workshops and other mutual benefits. With ASBP identified as a distinct division within BCA, it allows the publications group to continue to maintain its historic identity while merging with the larger group of BCA members. Benefits to BCA include maintaining the group's strong identity in Baptist communications life while gaining the input, influence and involvement of ASBP members. The merger is intended to strengthen both organizations while reducing the overall cost and time commitment for Baptist editors and others interested in participating in both groups.
