Exploring Your Call

At various stages in our Christian journey, we may feel God's call upon us, perhaps to explore Baptist Ministry for the first time, or a call to another church or missional community. This can be an exciting but also a daunting time, so the Regional Ministers are there to support you as you explore the next stage in your ministry.

If you are interested in exploring a call to Baptist ministry then please do contact Lisa Kerry or one of the other Regional Ministers.

You can also have a look at the Baptists Together page here.

A Warm Hello

Welcome to the website of The Central Baptist Association. We look after about 150 Baptist churches across Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire, including Milton Keynes. If you are looking to find a specific church near you then please click here.

Who we are

We have a team of four Regional Ministers, led by Lisa Kerry, alongside Mary Moody, Nathan Toseland and Andrew Openshaw. Andrew is also the association secretary. Our moderator is Maureen Hider and our treasurer is Roy Farrant. Jane Day is the course tutor for The Learning Collective.

What we do

We support ministers and churches by 'walking together in ministry and mission'. This includes providing pastoral care for ministers, advice to churches, guiding the settlement process, encouraging churches in their mission, providing training opportunities, encouraging networking, talking ecumenically, and offering small grants.
