Central Baptist Association
The Central Baptist Association covers the historic counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire and has 150 churches with a combined membership of ca 12,000 (including Local Ecumenical Partnerships). Its aim is best summed up by its strapline, ‘walking together in ministry and mission’, which reflects an aim to 'walk alongside' the churches by providing such things as pastoral care for ministers, encouragement in their mission, advice to churches, guidance of the settlement process, offering small grants to this end, etc.
The CBA is divided up into five ‘forums’ that are geographically focused that seek to provide a more local expression to Baptist life in the association. Each is locally organised and linked to one of the CBA’s Regional Ministers.
