Welcome to the WCB Ministry and Ministry Center
SPECIAL NOTE: We have combined the Webster-Claiborne and Bienville Associations to form the WCB Baptist Association.
Webster-Claiborne,Bienville:
WCB Association is composed of 60 churches committed to
reaching our world for Christ. The Great Commission appearing below,
taken from Matthew 28:18-20, provides our orders. We seek to obey
our Lord's command thus introducing our world to Jesus Christ
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
Our churches are both different and the same. While one church is found at the end of a beautiful, winding, country lane, another is found on main street in the center of town. Some are small, others large. Some are filled with "city-folk", the others filled with "country-folk". Although different in many ways, they are all committed to the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to bring our world to Him.
The sixty churches in Webster, Claiborne, Bienville parishes form the WCB Association. The common thread that brings these churches together is the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. This is a voluntary giving program in which churches combine their strengths to support mission causes around the world. Together these churches support missions through the North American Mission Board, International Mission Board, Louisiana Baptist Convention, and local Associational Missions.
Jeff Hoffman serves as our Director of Missions / Associational Mission Strategist.

LBC IRS letter to remain tax exempt
The
Louisiana Baptist Convention is sending out letters to explain a
change by the Internal Revenue Service in how it qualifies group
exemptions for churches.
Revenue Procedure 2026-8, issued by
the IRS in January, ended a freeze that had been in place since 2026
that prohibited the granting of new group exemptions. The new IRS
rule also modified what churches must do to be part of an umbrella
Group Exemption like the one granted to the Louisiana Baptist
Convention.
Now Louisiana Baptist congregations must
complete a form that declares their desire to participate in the LBC
Group Exemption, instead of relying on the IRS to presume
their participation by way of affiliation with the LBC.
Dale
Lingenfelter, chief financial officer and associate executive
director for Louisiana Baptists, told the Baptist Message that
completing and signing the form “will not affect the autonomy of the
local church.” He also said that a church can choose not to
participate and instead seek its own letter of exemption from the
IRS.
Lingenfelter also shared that churches must complete and
sign the form (whether the answer is “yes” or “no”) and return it to
the LBC Executive Board in Alexandria via email (
GroupExemption@LBC.org
) or postal mail (P.O. Box 311, Alexandria, LA 71309) no
later than November 30.
