NIGERIAN BAPTIST CONVENTION MARKS ITS SUPER-CENTENARY
Today, March 11, 2024, marks the 110th anniversary of the existence of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. It began on March 11, 1914 at the First Baptist Church, Idikan Street, Ibadan. It happened that for the first 64 years of the existence of the Baptist work in Nigeria (since 1850), the Baptist Churches existed independently without coming together as a Convention or Union although there were some form of cooperation among them.
For instance, the Baptist Academy had begun in 1855, the Baptist College, Iwo, had begun in 1897 and the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary, Ogbomoso, had begun in 1898, serving the Baptist Churches. But it was in 1914 that what we call the Nigerian Baptist Convention today began, originally called the Yoruba Baptist Association, since Nigeria itself as a nation was just being created the same year.
A few years later, the name was changed to Nigerian Baptist Convention and it has since grown to be the largest single Baptist Convention or Union in the world today as acknowledged by the Baptist World Alliance, definitely not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Living God.
Therefore, I have the pleasure in Christ to say to you all in the Nigerian Baptist Convention Family, ...

I WISH TO IMPLORE ALL THE CHURCHES OF THE NIGERIAN BAPTIST CONVENTION AT HOME AND ABROAD TO CELEBRATE THE 110TH YEAR OF OUR CONVENTION DURING THE SUNDAY SERVICE OF MARCH 17, 2024.
A special Anniversary Thanksgiving Offering should be collected by our Churches in appreciation of God’s goodness to us and be specially sent to the Nigerian Baptist Convention Headquarters.
