North Western Baptist Association
'Committed to the values of Christ’s Kingdom, NWBA exists to resource and enable each of our member churches to be more effective in their Ministry and Mission'
NWBA comprises Baptist communities in Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, and parts of Cumbria and North Wales. Our formative vision is founded on the words of Jesus recorded in John 20:21
“As the Father has sent me, I am sending you”
We call this our 20/21 vision - a symbol of our commitment to relate to a 21st Century world and a re-statement of our primary purpose to be a missionary people.
Our current Association theme is
