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.
PLEASE NOTE: The YBA Team are now working from home in the light of restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please do not ring the office as calls will not be answered. Contact the team by email or on the numbers circulated through the YBA Newsround. Thank you for your patience.
