Baptist Missionary Association of America

The Baptist Missionary Association of America (BMAA) is a fellowship of autonomous Baptist churches for the purpose of benevolence, Christian education, and missions. Formed at Little Rock, Arkansas in 1950 as the North American Baptist Association, the Baptist Missionary Association of America adopted its current name in 1969. This association owes its origin to a split in the American Baptist Association, and many of its policies and programs are similar to the parent body.
