North Central Baptist Association (NCBA) is made up of 51 Southern Baptist churches of like faith that have committed to working together for the advancement of our Lord's kingdom. Our churches cover Jackson and Winn Parishes, with one church located just over the Natchitoches Parish line. Craig James, Associational Mission Strategist (DOM), and Gayle Moore, Ministry Assistant, serve the churches in NCBA, both individually and collectively.

The different missions and ministry projects listed in the brochure are partnerships our churches proudly support together through NCBA. Every year many come to Christ through these partnerships, and countless seeds are sown of which only God knows. The churches in our association understand the value in working together and encouraging one another. Various training events and rallies are also offered annually through NCBA. Contact us. We would be honored to assist you in finding a ministry where you and your church can plug in. Leaders from our churches volunteer their time and resources assisting these various partnerships. We would love to introduce you and your church to them. There is something to be said for churches that willingly encourage one another and work together in fulfilling the Great Commission.
