Institutional Missionary Baptist Conference of America
The
Institutional Missionary Baptist Conference of America is a recent division of the
National Missionary Baptist Convention of America, which was formed on November 15,
1988. When the NMBCA was formed, Dr. S. M. Lockridge of
San Diego, California was elected president of the Convention and served until his retirement in
1994. After his retirement a series of events and contested elections eventually brought about the formation of the
Institutional Missionary Baptist Conference of America around
1999. Dr. H.J. Johnson, of
Dallas, Texas, General Secretary of the Convention, ran for the presidency in
1995 and again in
1998. Following the second election defeat, Dr. Johnson and his supporters withdrew and organized the
Institutional Missionary Baptist Conference.
