Activities & Mission

The SWBA is an umbrella body for many of the Baptist Churches in the South West. SWBA is largely a service organisation, which means that much of our work is "responsive" - meeting the practical needs of our member churches. These are very wide-ranging. In addition, we also undertake an element of more strategic work.
