The Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention , also known as the Lott Carey Global Christian Missional Community ,[1] Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, USA , or simply Lott Carey , is a Baptist Christian denomination in the United States . It is affiliated with the Baptist World Alliance ,[2] and has a predominantly African American membership.
History [ edit ]
The Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention was established in 1897 out of the National Baptist Convention, USA .[3] The convention was named for Lott Carey (1780-1828), a former African American slave who was the first American Baptist missionary to Africa.[1] In addition, Carey established the first Baptist church in Liberia . It was named the Providence Baptist Church of Monrovia, the city that became the capital of the country.[4]
By the dawn of the 21st century, the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention has operated under several names and engaged in ecumenism , and in 2021, the denomination elected Gina M. Stewart as the first female president of a Baptist convention in the United States.[5] [6] [7] She also became the first female pastor to preach in the Joint National Baptist Convention of 2024.[8] [9] [10] [11]
