It is affiliated with the Paku Divinity School, a Baptist theological institute in Taungoo, Bago Region approved by Association for Theological Education in Myanmar.[citation needed]
It was founded in 1856 by the American Baptist Mission.
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.
