South West Baptist Association

South West Baptist Association SWBA is a family of 90+ churches in Cornwall, Devon, south Somerset and a small part of Dorset.

SWBA is a family of around 90 churches covering Cornwall, Devon, south Somerset and a small part of Dorset. SWBA churches come in all shapes and sizes, and are found in city centres, housing estates, suburbs, villages, rural and coastal areas. We are a diverse family, 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. Our churches are there to tell people the good news that Jesus changes lives. SWBA is there to support, encourage and enable them in this task. Code of conduct
