Bridges Bay Area Association was birthed after a 20 year conversation between the East Bay and San Francisco Peninsula Baptist Associations. The re-association of these two Bay Area Associations reaches across nine Bay Area counties, is composed of approximately 200 churches, with 25 languages, with the purpose of our existence being mutual support and cooperation in reaching the 1.7 million people locally and the 7 million in the greater Bay Area with the good news of Jesus Christ.  The association focuses on enabling churches to be on mission in their communities, to cooperate together for healthy and multiplying churches, church planting among the various language, geographic and affinity groups in the greater Bay Area, and to partner together for community engagement.
