The Baptist Heritage Alliance (BHA) is a coalition of Baptist men and women dedicated to: 

1. Promoting and preserving our rich Baptist heritage (Psalm 16:6b) 
2. Fostering better knowledge and understanding of the tenets of our faith so that we are Baptists by knowledge and conviction (Deuteronomy 11:9, 1Peter 3:15) 
3. Bringing Baptist People back to the Ancient landmarks of our faith, the original pathways which God led our founding fathers to establish and which has served us well over time (Proverbs 22:28, Jeremiah 6:16a) 
4. Reminding Baptist people that as ‘People of the Book’ and competent by the enabling of the Holy Spirit to read, understand and interpret Scriptures they have a responsibility, like the Berean Christians to not just hear the preaching of the Word but to go back to scriptures to search and verify what they have heard (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15) 

There are various Church structures in the world, including Congregational, Episcopal, and Presbyterian etc. The Baptist Church is a Congregational Church with the final decision making authority vested in the Church-in-Conference, the gathering of the entire Congregation. Some cherished core values that set the Baptists apart are:  

• The Supremacy of Scriptures, especially the New Testament as the sole authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice 
• Soul competency 
• Priesthood of all believers 
• Congregational Polity 
• Unity in Diversity. 
• Autonomy of the local Baptist church 
• Christian Virtues (Holiness) 
• The Great Commission 

 BHA objectives are to: 

1. To contend for the Faith of our Fathers  
2. To preserve the core values of our Faith  
3. To promote our distinctiveness as Baptists  
4. To encourage the propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ as handed over to us in line with the Scriptures. 
5. To be guided always by the precepts of the Bible
