About the New York Baptist Assosciation
The Metropolitan New York Baptist Association is a fellowship of more than 260 churches in 20 language groups. Our geography includes all five boroughs of New York City, northern New Jersey, Long Island, southern Connecticut and the Lower Hudson Valley . . . everything within a 50-mile radius of Times Square. Southern Baptists have been in New York City since 1963 as an association. We are part of the Southern Baptist Convention.
New York City is THE most challenging mission opportunity in the WORLD. Our opportunities are enormous. We have the city to deal with along with the diversity of groups, high cost of living, traffic, and lots of people (more than 20 million in MNYBA).
Information about our churches as well as mission opportunities here in NYC can be found at this site. Our staff is great and our churches are on the front lines of ministry. New York offers the best of the best and the worst of the worst and we want to offer God’s best to the millions without a relationship with Christ.
Thank you for your interest. Please pray for us. Our purpose is “Equipping Equippers for the Advancement of the Kingdom of God.”
Scripture
Proverbs 3 5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
1 Corinthians 9 21-23 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
