The Yorkshire Baptist Association is a network of 100 churches, individually and collectively committed to participating in the mission of God. Our vision is to ‘grow healthy churches in Yorkshire’ - we do this by relating, renewing and resourcing the local church, which is the primary agent for God’s mission.
