The North American Baptist Conference (NABC) is a Baptist Christian denomination in the United States and Canada. It was founded in 1911 by a merger of several smaller Baptist denominations. The NABC is headquartered in Roseville, California.
The NABC has about 135,000 members in over 1,000 churches in the United States and Canada. It is a congregational denomination, which means that each church is autonomous and self-governing.
The NABC has a national body, the General Conference of the North American Baptist Conference, which provides resources and support to its member churches.
The NABC is a moderate Baptist denomination, which means that it holds to a traditional Baptist faith but is open to some degree of theological diversity. The NABC believes in the authority of the Bible, the Trinity, the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, His atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension into heaven. The NABC also believes in the necessity of personal faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.
Here are some of the key beliefs of the North American Baptist Conference:
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
- There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, and is fully God and fully man.
- He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day.
- He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
- He will return to earth one day to judge the living and the dead.
- Salvation is by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
- Repentance and baptism are necessary for salvation.
- The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and is present in the lives of believers.
- The church is the body of Christ and is made up of all believers.
- The second coming of Christ is imminent.
- The resurrection of the dead and the final judgment will take place.
