Sharing our Story

We regularly feature stories from our churches and are particularly keen to hear and share of how churches are supporting each other and their local community in these unusual times. This week you can find our more about Forest Gate Baptist Church, Blackpool - click here to find out more

A Wave of prayer across Wales

This week in our NWBA season of prayer we have been praying for churches in North Wales. Our own season of prayer has sought to connect with a 'Wave of Prayer' across Wales which has been jointly organised by the Baptist Union of Wales, South Wales Baptist Association, South Wales Baptist college and NWBA.

Celebrating Ministry

One regular feature of our annual Baptist Assembly is to recognise and celebrate those who have completed their probationary period as ministers. Because we are unable to hold a physical gathering this year, churches from each Baptist Association are invited to meet those from their area through this short video. Please share this, post it on your facebook page, use it in your online services to encourage everyone to celebrate the ministry of those we are welcoming from NWBA, and to pray for them in their different callings.

NWBA Online Service - Sunday 13th June

While many churches remain closed, or can only accommodate limited numbers, we will continue to offer online services at least until the end of June. You can join us for Sunday 13th June through this link. Our latest midweek reflection for personal and small group use can be found on our reflections page.

A season of prayer

NWBA is a community of around 160 local churches and mission initiatives, including chaplaincies, mission communities and new expressions of church. We are encouraging everyone to use the period after Pentecost to pray for one another.

Each day, we will particularly invite you to pray for two churches or initiatives that are part of NWBA. We are including those who have offered us their prayer requests as part of our recent church life survey. If you are not included but would like to offer your prayer requests, please get in touch with us.

Our nations and our world continue to face significant disruption and challenge. As communities of God's people, we are not exempt from that. As we begin to find our way forward, it is vital that we do so prayerfully, seeking to support one another in our journey together.
