Alpine First Baptist voluntarily cooperates with the Southern Baptist Convention (national), the Louisiana Baptist Convention (state), and the North Rapides Baptist Association (local). It is through these alignments that AFBC joins other Southern Baptist churches to support ministries and mission efforts locally, in the state and nation, and throughout the world. To discover more about how these groups and their work please click on their names above or go to the Links page.

Even though AFBC is aligned with these groups, Southern Baptist churches are considered autonomous units. Each church, under the leadership and guidance of God, makes their own decisions about staff, ministries, budgets, buildings and policies. AFBC is supported financially by the tithes and offerings of its members. Each member has a vote and a say in how the church accomplishes its purposes and mission.
