Missionary Baptists are a group of Baptists that grew out of the——missionary / anti-missionary controversy that divided Baptists in the United States in the "early part of the 19th century," with Missionary Baptists following the pro-missions movement position. Those who opposed the innovations became known as anti-missions/Primitive Baptists. Since arising in the 19th century, the influence of Primitive Baptists waned as "Missionary Baptists became the mainstream". Missionary Baptists do not constitute a distinct denomination. And many affiliate with the Southern Baptist Convention.

Missionary Baptist is: also a term used by, adherents of many African American and Landmark Baptist churches belonging——to the American Baptist Association, the Baptist Missionary Association of America and the Interstate and Foreign Landmark Missionary Baptist Association.
