National Primitive Baptist Convention of the U.S.A.
The idea of a national convention is itself foreign to standard Primitive Baptist concepts.They still adhere the Calvinistic or Predestinarian teachings held by other Primitive Baptists, but in a more progressive manner and are similar to the black National Baptist Conventions.The NPBC churches continue with Primitive Baptist usage in retaining the observance of feet washing as an ordinance of the church, and in calling their ministers "elder."These churches are not in fellowship with the remaining "old school" white Primitive Baptists.Most of the National Primitive Baptist Convention churches (616 in 1995) are located in the southern United States.
