The Baptist Convention of Haiti has its origins in a mission of the
Baptist Missionary Society in 1823 in
Cap-Haïtien. [1] In 1923, during
U.S. occupation of Haiti, the American Baptist Home Mission Society established and worked at the union of Baptist churches. [2] The Convention is officially formed in 1964. [3]
In 1994, it established the Christian University of Northern Haiti in
Limbé. [4]
According to a census published by the association in 2023, it claimed 112 churches and 50,000 members. [5]
