MCBA History
Our Story
On Thursday July 12, 1906 a group of ministers along with men and women of laity gathered at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, New Brunswick, in response to a call to organize a Baptist Association in central New Jersey. The Reverend Edward W. Roberts, Pastor of the host church was selected to serve as temporary chairman of this historic meeting. By voice vote, Rev. Roberts was elected the first president (Moderator) of the Middlesex Central Baptist Association. Since the election of Rev. Roberts, Middlesex has been blessed with many other Moderators who have helped weave the fabric of our beloved MCBA. We thank God for them all.
