2006 marked the bicentennial of Baptist life in Missouri. In these over 200 years, Missouri Baptist churches have been created, disbanded, and restarted. Through all of these actions, as well as the daily life of healthy congregations, we create the history of our denomination and our service to God’s kingdom.
The Missouri Baptist Historical Commission exists to facilitate churches in remembering this past by assisting in the preservation of church records, and by recognizing special anniversaries. The Missouri Baptist Historical Commission has expanded its focus from primarily serving the historical researcher, toward serving churches in preserving and maintaining their own history. This website has been created to help churches find answers on maintaining church history, and to provide a resource to contact for more in-depth information.
