Florida General Baptist Convention

The Florida General Baptist Convention, Inc. has a rich history dating back to its formation in 1874 as the Florida Bethlehem Baptist State Convention. Over the years, the convention underwent several name changes and expansions, eventually becoming the Baptist General State Convention of Florida in 1909 and finally adopting its current name, The Florida General Baptist Convention, Inc., in 1984. Led by a succession of dedicated presidents, the convention has played a vital role in supporting Baptist churches and promoting the work of the Master's Kingdom throughout the state of Florida.

With its origins rooted in the Bethlehem Association, the Florida General Baptist Convention, Inc. has grown to encompass various associations and churches across the state. From its headquarters in Daytona Beach, the convention has been instrumental in fostering unity and collaboration among Baptist churches, as well as providing support for educational institutions such as the Florida Institute at Live Oak. Under the leadership of its presidents, the convention continues to serve as a guiding force in advancing the mission of the Baptist community in Florida.
