Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church

Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church is a minority-owned, non-profit organization located in Carlisle, Arkansas, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since February 2015. As a Black American-owned corporate entity with tax-exempt status, the organization has demonstrated a commitment to community development and agricultural innovation in underserved rural areas of Arkansas. While limited information is available about the church's broader organizational mission, its federal grant work suggests a strong focus on agricultural education, technical assistance, and community empowerment in economically challenged regions.

The organization has secured multiple cooperative agreements with the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), consistently focusing on agricultural technical assistance and demonstration projects in poverty-stricken Arkansas counties. These grants have included establishing seasonal high tunnel and hoop house demonstration sites to increase agricultural awareness among young people, with projects targeting strikeforce counties experiencing significant economic challenges. The federal grants, ranging from 2021 to 2026, demonstrate a strategic approach to delivering technical services that aim to enhance agricultural knowledge and practices in underserved communities. Specifically, the grants have supported initiatives such as creating five seasonal high tunnel demonstration sites, establishing hoop house demonstration sites, and providing technical training to individuals and groups in eastern Arkansas, with a clear objective of promoting agricultural education and economic development in rural, economically disadvantaged areas.
