National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.
The National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. traces a history of significant growth and achievements, attended sometimes by periods of turbulence, to Saturday, November 22, 1880 when 151 persons from 11 states met in Montgomery, Alabama and organized the Baptist Foreign Missions Convention. A yearning to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached on the Mother soil of Africa drove this organizing. The Rev. W.H. McAlpine of Alabama was elected as its first President. Six years later in 1886, 600 delegates from 17 states gathered at the First Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri and formed the National Baptist Convention of America. Seven years later in1893, the National Baptist Education Convention was formed. None of the three Conventions thrived separately. So in 1895, the three bodies effected a merger in a meeting held at the Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The Rev. E.C. Morris from Little Rock, Arkansas was chosen as the president of this merged body. Prior to 1895, nine men served as president of the Convention. Since 1895, nine med have led this venerable convention. The convention boasts of 8.5 million members. Its world headquarters and publishing house is located in Nashville, Tennessee. The convention meets annually in September and its largest Auxiliary, the National Baptist Congress of Christian Education meets annually in June.

United Missionary Baptist Convention of NJ, Inc.
The United Missionary Baptist Convention of NJ, Inc. was officially organized on Friday, January 11, 2016. The organizational meeting was called and convened by the Rev. Dr. Perry Simmons, Jr., Pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Newark, NJ. The meeting held at the Abyssinian Church. The call to organize came as a result of the Christian Fellowship Baptist Association Organization of NJ choosing to withdraw from the General Baptist Convention of NJ, Inc. These two district associations, churches connected with other district associations, and churches with no prior affiliation "united" to organize a new statewide Baptist entity wherein they could work together, equip local churches, be a source of advocacy and continue affiliation and membership with other national Baptist bodies (the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., and the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention). At the organizational meeting 46 churches were present and/or represented. A complete slate of officers for all departments was elected with our pastor, the Rev. Kenneth D.R. Clayton elected Convention President. He served as President from 2013-2015.
