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.
