Welcome to the digital home of the historic Philadelphia Baptist Association (PBA). Standing on a firm foundation of Baptist witness, rooted in 1707 by five Baptist churches in Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware to be a witness and transforming association for Jesus Christ, the Philadelphia Baptist Association remains a living testimony to God’s enduring faithfulness to all generations.
In the continuation of the outstanding tradition of American Baptist witness, this digital home is both a repository carrying our rich legacy across time and, an innovative hub curating new ventures of collaboration and cooperation equipping our Baptist churches to move forward in the second quarter of this 21st century in ministry and leadership. Remaining focused on our PBA Missiological Statement, to equip congregations to embrace the racial, cultural, and generational shifts of our day with our continuing commitment to sharing the gospel and the social justice it requires, we embrace innovation and will discover best practices and our way forward together.
Whether you are a longstanding member or exploring Philadelphia Baptist Association for the first time, we are glad you are here! I hope that you will explore our website, gain an overview of the ministries and resources of the Philadelphia Baptist Association and the American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA). We provide several support and relationship building opportunities for member congregations. They are outlined on the website for your review and participation.
We welcome Baptist congregations desiring to serve in an exciting and vibrant network of committed disciples called to share our faith.

Faithfully yours,
Reverend Dr. Quintin L. Robertson
