With the departure of American Baptist missionaries from Myanmar, the association has been entirely staffed by nationals. After the PKBA reconstituted, the first executive secretary was Rev Letta. Now, PKBA has 150 churches. PKBA headquarters are in Taungoo, Bago Division. There are four regions: Bago Division East, Bago Division West, Karen States and Kayah States.
It had Paku High School, and the first headmaster was Rev Cross (ABM). Today it's No.5 Basic Education High School.
The main purposes of the PKBA are:
- to preach and propagate the good news of Jesus Christ in Myanmar and throughout the whole world;
- to abide in Baptist faith and practice;
- to educate its members for Christian maturity and discipleship;
- to be united with other Christians in Christ for mission and service;
- to be good citizens of the country.
