Historically, a Baptist is one who baptizes or one who believes in immersion. A "Missionary" Baptist is a Baptist who believes in the need for "missionary" work or preaching, evangelizing. Missionary Baptists reject the Calvinistic view of unconditional election, limited atonement, and, to a degree, irresistible grace.

Missionary Baptist Church started in 1839 when thirteen members split from the Primitive Baptist Church based on differences in beliefs concerning missions, Sunday school, and temperance societies.

The strengthening missionary vision of this group bore fruit on October 2, 1792, when the Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen (later known as the Baptist Missionary Society) was formed in the home of one of Fuller's deacons in Kettering. Fuller was appointed secretary.

The first Baptist churches were formed by English-speakers in Holland (1609-1612). They believed, as did Martin Luther, that believers were capable of reading and interpreting the Bible on their own.

The Missionary Church was formed in 1969 through a merger of the United Missionary Church (organized in 1883) and the Missionary Church Association (founded in 1898).
