LBA Districts

Districts
The member Churches of the LBA work together in Districts. The boundaries between Districts are the London Borough boundaries. Some Churches just outside the London Boroughs are in Districts in the part of London closest to them. Click here to see the way the Boroughs are allocated to Districts.

Typical District Objects
Districts determine for themselves how they are run but typical objects of a District are:

to promote fellowship amongst the Churches and stimulate their outreach;
to have special concern for the smaller fellowships;
to arouse, sustain and develop interest in Mission at home and overseas through the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BU) and the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS) and to stimulate financial support for the BMS and BU Home Mission; and
to maintain and encourage relations within the London Baptist Association (LBA).

(These are the objects of the Thames Valley District)

District Structures
Representatives from the Churches of each District meet as District Councils and they appoint some District officers. For each District there is a District Minister and District Co-ordinator who are appointed by the LBA Board on the recommendation of the Churches in the District. The Districts, District Ministers, and District Co-ordinators are listed below.

More detailed information on each District is as follows:
