Woods, Jr., President Dr. Rufus Bonds, General Secretary 2017 MASTER CALENDAR 93Theme: “Equipping the Local Church from the Inside in Order to BeEffective, Empowering, Engaging, and Evangelistic on the Outside.” Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:12 calendarlabs.com

Our HistoryThe First District Missionary Baptist Association is composed of many churches that are united in our vision and mission given to us in 1863 byour founding leaders and members. Our theology and our worship styles include contemporary, progressive, blended and traditional. We arebound together by the cords of love and the common goal of reaching our cities, communities and world for Jesus Christ.As we review the pages and events in our history, our minds will reflect on where God has brought us from. We thank God for the footprints andinformation that were left behind by our Pastors, Ministers, Teachers, Leaders, and Laypersons during this moment in our history. Our historiansdeclared, “The first Negro Association in the city of New Orleans was organized in 1837 by Elder Joseph Wills and was called the LouisianaSouthern Baptist Association. Due to conflicting issues another Association was organized in 1863 by Elders Charles Satchell, George Walker,John Marks, Esau Carter, Alex Armstrong, R.H. Steptoe, John H. Flemings and others, namely The First Free Missionary Association. Realizingthat two organizations were operating in the same district, and that united a more effective spreading of the Gospel would be manifested, thebrethren decided to merge, thus the two united and became The First District Missionary Baptist Association in 1863.” It was later incorporatedin 1895 by President John Flemings.History deals with personalities as well as events which are prominent in the existence of an organization as well as a nation. The progress of anorganization depends largely upon the qualities of the personalities giving leadership to it. The First District Missionary Baptist Association hasbeen led by men of nobility, deep spiritual insight, vision and dauntless courage. Every President in his own perspective has contributed to theexpansion and progress of the organization. The progressive history of the First District Missionary Baptist Association can be followed by ananalytic view of the 13 Presidents and their achievements.First President, Rev. John H.
