The North Jefferson Baptist Association
is an association of missionary Baptist Churches located north of Birmingham, Alabama.
There are 36 churches in the Association.
The churches range in size from rural small
membership churches to the mega-church! We are a
diverse group of Southern Baptist
churches with one aim and goal... to further the cause of
Christ in our area and beyond through
evangelism, fellowship, training, and cooperative mission
support and projects. We are gladly affiliated with the Alabama Baptist
State Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention.
The North Jefferson Baptist Association
was formed over one hundred and twenty five years ago by ten churches of
the Northern area of Jefferson County, Alabama.
Jefferson county, Alabama stands alone in the Southern Baptist
Convention for the distinction of having 5 Baptist associations in one
county. Our association was originally known as the Mineral
Springs Baptist Association. Since that
time long ago, the Association has grown
to include 36 churches with close to 17,000 people as members
of these churches. Our largest church is Gardendale's
First Baptist Church with about 5,300 members
and an average weekly attendance of over 2,900 in
worship. We have a growing number of churches whose average
attendance would be between 100 - 400. About a
third of our churches would be considered small
membership churches with less than 50 in average weekly
attendance. We represent a variety of styles of
worship from shaped note gospel singing to the cutting
edge of contemporary worship. We are a very
conservative association doctrinally but aggressively
bold in winning people to Jesus Christ!
Despite our differences in size and worship, there is a
place for everyone in the Association because we are a
family of churches working together for the cause of Christ!
