Denton Baptist Association is a self-governing fellowship of autonomous Baptist churches that share a common faith and purpose.  The Association provides resources to its member churches in terms of planning, consulting, training, and cooperative mission projects.  The Association holds no authority over its member churches. Rather, the churches, through their Executive Board members, determine the direction of the Association.  Ultimately, Denton Baptist Association is an organization of churches offering encouragement and assistance to churches, their leadership, and their members.
