Who We Are
The National Baptist Deacons Convention Of America Inc and Its Auxiliaries began on July 26, 1934, when members of local Deacon organizations from Washington DC, Richmond Virginia, and Hilltop Maryland met to initiate a closer relationship of Baptist Deacons
The original purposes included: 1. Learning how to assist Pastors bettering advancing general interest of churches; 2. Bringing a closer relationship between Deacons and members of our Churches; 3. Discussing and studying principles and duties applying to Deacons; 4. And performing home and foreign mission work
Join Us
You may join us as an individual Missionary Baptist Deacon or as part of an organized body of Deacons. We encourage you to become involved at the local level to perpetuate ongoing fellowship among Deacons and to promote programs in education, missionary work and youth programs.
Local groups are advised to form a Women’s Auxiliary to include Deaconess and other Christian Women.
Usually , a minimum of three Boards of Deacons from nearby Churches is sufficient to form a local unit.
