NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION

This has been the organizational name of some organized Black Baptist work since 1886. By 1876 all of the southern states except Florida had a
state missionary convention. In 1895 the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., was organized. In 1915 there was a split over the legal ownership
of a publishing house. The two convention names became N.B.C. Unincorporated (it incorporated in 1988) and N.B.C., U.S.A., Inc. There is a
reported membership of 3,500,000 with the largest number of members in Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and California. There is an annual convention and officers elected each year.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, U.S.A., INC.

This body of Black Baptists has more than 7,500,000 adherents and is the largest of the black Baptist groups. This body has common roots with the National Baptist Convention of America, Inc.
