Working Together
BCWA is an association of churches committed to helping people respond to Jesus through healthy local churches. We value—trust, generosity, and collegiality; every generation and every culture; unity that accommodates diversity; and Baptist Distinctives
as descriptive of our life together and our posture towards our communities particularly with regards religious liberty and the autonomy of each local church working cooperatively with other churches in the association.
BCWA exists to serve the Baptist churches, agencies and institutions by doing those activities which are better achieved when we work together. We exist to build healthy churches and provide support to Baptist churches without seeking to take control.
Our services include consultancy, education, youth camps, legal and financial advice, banking, insurance, advocacy and more.
