History
Historically, a departure from the Six-Principle Baptists with a Augustinian and Calvinistic theological framework; and Negro Baptists who used the “Four Emblems of the Gospel”, (Crown, Chalice, Dove, and Cross). The Six-Principles are: Repentance, Faith, Baptism, Laying on of Hands, Resurrection of the Dead, and Final Judgement. Based on Hebrews 6:1-2.

The denominational movement has planted churches and ministry contexts in the United States and Canada, Africa, Solomon Islands, the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. MBCUSA credentials ministers, endorses chaplains, and supports missions.

The Missionary Baptist Conference, USA, traces its heritage and initial founding to the Ethiopian Baptists of Jamaica and the missionary and prophetic work of George Lisle, Hagar Simpson, Hannah Williams and other former enslaved Blacks that took the Baptist message to Jamaica and created a Baptist cooperative. The cooperative was short-lived due to the growth of the ministry of George Lisle and the Baptists in Jamaica by the hands of Colonial opponents as well as the Baptist Mission Board.

Following in the footsteps of The Rev. George Lisle, The Rev. Hagar Simpson, and the Ethiopia Baptist of Jamaica of Savannah, Georgia, MBCUSA is unapologetically Black, unashamedly Jesus followers, and intentionally Black multi-cultural. The MBCUSA being an outgrowth of the Lisle and Hagar movement was established 1995 as the Baptist Partnership. Network, an earlier merger of the Baptist Brotherhood and Sisters Union, and the Missionary Baptist Association of Churches; the movement is now the leading Black Baptist entity that sends global service apostles to the mission-field, partners with indigenous peoples to serve their own lands, and plants churches.
