Centralia Baptist Association
Originally known as the Vandalia Baptist Association (1840–1880), this association was named the Centalia Baptist Association when churches from Centralia, Mt. Vernon and other churches south of Centralia, Illinois joined the Association to become the Centralia Baptist Association in 1881. It eventually became renamed as the Kaskaskia Baptist Association (Southern Baptist) in 1912.

Famous quotes containing the words baptist and/or association:
“I am perhaps being a bit facetious but if some of my good Baptist brethren in Georgia had done a little preaching from the pulpit against the K.K.K. in the ‘20s, I would have a little more genuine American respect for their Christianity!”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
