London Baptist Association

The London Baptist Association (LBA) is an association of independent Baptist Churches within the Baptist Union of Great Britain. It exists to serve its member Churches in carrying out their mission as set out in its Purpose Statement and Strategy. Membership by Churches is entirely voluntary. Churches who are considering joining the LBA should read our notes on Joining the LBA. Member Churches are listed in a printed LBA Directory which can be obtained from the LBA Office. You can also find member churches using our Church Finder.
