In 1884, several North Carolina Missionary Baptist women felt the call to mission. Under the leadership of Reverend Dr. Henry Martin Tupper, himself an American Baptist missionary founder and the first president of Shaw University, they formed the Woman’s Convention. The women felt they could render a more effective service by bringing together the widely scattered missionary societies under one banner. The mission of the Woman’s Baptist Home and Foreign Missionary Convention of NC is: To organize and improve missionary circles: senior, young adult, and youth departments in the Baptist churches of North Carolina; To promote a broader spirit of missionary endeavor; To encourage the study of the Bible and other missionary books in order to awaken a greater interest in missionary work; To support missionaries on the State and Foreign Field; To support Christian education… And to cooperate with the General Baptist State Convention.
