Executive Group
The Executive is the key decision making body acting on behalf of the 112 YBA churches. The Executive members act as trustees, are accountable to the member churches and are also directors of the company limited by guarantee.
All major strategic decisions are taken by the Executive. This includes major issues referred from the Ministry, Mission and Trust Groups; so whilst these groups deal with detailed matters, it is the Executive which keeps the overview and focus of the Association.
Core Tasks
- To maintain the aims and develop the strategies of the Yorkshire Baptist Association
