Welcome to the South West Baptist Association
We are a diverse family of around 90 churches covering Devon, Cornwall, south Somerset and a small part of Dorset.
Our churches come in all shapes and sizes, but what we have in common is the broad Baptist basis of our church life, and the desire to share the gospel message with our local communities.
Take a look around to find out more about our region and some of the exciting things God is doing here, as well as training, events and other resources for your church and ministry.
We are also part of the wider Baptist family in the UK, as part of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and supporters of BMS World Mission.
