A group <strong>of</strong> regular Baptist churches organized<br />
in associational capacity in May, 1950, in Little<br />

Association. The name changed in 1969 to Baptist<br />
Missionary Association <strong>of</strong> America. There are<br />
several state <strong>and</strong> numerous local associations <strong>of</strong><br />
cooperating churches. In theology, these churches<br />
are evangelical, missionary, fundamental <strong>and</strong> for<br />
