Missouri Baptist Football Joining The Heart As An Associate Member In That Sport

The Heart of America Athletic Conference is pleased to announce the addition of the Missouri Baptist University football program as an Associate Member to the conference. Missouri Baptist will join the Heart in the sport of football in the fall of 2023.

The Spartans will join the Heart South Division with fellow teams, Central Methodist University, Baker University, Missouri Valley College, Benedictine College and MidAmerica Nazarene University.

The Heart North Division consists of Grand View, Culver-Stockton, Peru State, William Penn, Clarke and Graceland.

Missouri Baptist is also an Associate Member in the Heart of America Athletic Conference in the sport of men’s volleyball. Institutions may join a conference for a sport as an associate member if their home conference does not sponsor that specific sport, as the Spartans’ home conference is the American Midwest Conference.
