01
I am a Pastor
Register your church with the Convention, connect to your district association, and join the Congress of Christian Education for ministry training and pastoral fellowship.
02
I am a Church Member
Serve with the auxiliaries — Laymen, Women’s Auxiliary, Youth and Young Adults — attend the Annual Session as a delegate, and carry Convention missions work back to your congregation.
03
I am New to NBCA
Start with our history and structure, find the district association nearest you, and subscribe to Convention updates so you know when we gather and what we are building.
04
I want to Give
Give once or monthly to support church development, missions and leadership formation. Churches may also send association dues and designated gifts by mail.
Give today. Help us make an impact.
Your gift supports mission work at home and abroad. It funds Christian education and prepares our churches and leaders to serve. It helps NBCA positively impact the spiritual, educational, social and economic life of our communities. Give today and keep this work going.
