About Us

Greetings from the Executive Director

The Metropolitan New York Baptist Association is a fellowship of more than 200 churches in 20 language groups. Our geography includes all five boroughs of NYC, northern New Jersey, Long Island, and southern Connecticut . . . everything within a 50 mile radius of Times Square. Southern Baptists have been in NYC 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. Yes, I am prejudiced! Our opportunities are enormous. We have NYC to deal with along with the diversity of people groups, the high cost of living, traffic, and lots of people (more than 20 million in MNYBA). But you can learn more from our links.

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. I count it an honor to serve as the Executive Director for MNYBA. 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. When you are in Manhattan please come by our office. Let me know how I can assist you. Our vision is to "HELP CHURCHES IN METROPOLITAN NEW YORK CITY GROW, MINISTER, AND REPRODUCE."
