Churches belonging to this conference emanated from German Baptist immigrants of more than a century ago. Although scattered across Canada and the U.S., they are bound together by a common heritage, a strong spiritual unity, a Bible-centered faith and a deep interest in missions. Their two main priorities are Leadership Development and Church Multiplication.
Note, The details of general organization, officers, and periodicals of this body will be found in the North American Baptist Conference directory in the “Religious Bodies in the United States” section of this Yearbook.
