A message fromDr. Timothy Stewart, President
My Progressive Family, God has ordained it for us to yield ourselves to this Divine Purpose and plan, through the Progressive National Baptist Convention.
This Convention, through its leadership and its membership, has striven to carry out the work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and represent the outstanding Christian Leadership in challenging times. We salute the life and contributions of all those who have served.
During the next four years, we will focus on the theme “In Pursuit of Wholeness.” Through this theme, we must remember the awesome responsibility that is ours to work so our Convention, our Nation, and our world would experience the transformative power of God as He equips and uses us as His agents of change, for His glory and the enhancement of humanity.
I invite all our partners and friends to join us as we together serve this present age.
About Us
The Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc., (PNBC) is a vital Baptist denomination with an estimated membership of 2.5 million people.

New generations of Progressive Baptists are continuing the struggle for full voter registration, education and participation in society, economic empowerment and development, and the realization of universal human rights and total human liberation for all people.
