Kohima Ao Baptist Church in
Kohima, affiliated to the Nagaland Baptist Church Council, 2019. The Nagaland Baptist Church Council has its origins in an American mission of the
American Baptist Mission (
American Baptist Churches USA) in 1839. In the late 19th century, various Baptist congregations in the Naga Hills were organised into associations on tribe and linguistic lines. A broader fellowship of the Baptist churches in the Naga Hills first took the forms of the Naga Hills Baptist Church Advisory Board in Kohima. It was renamed as the Naga Hills Baptist Church Council in 1937. In 1950, the council became a founding member of the
Council of Baptist Churches in Northeast India. In 1953, it took the name of Nagaland Baptist Church Council. In 2007, there were 1,347 churches and 454,349 members. In 1987, the Mission Conference who took place in the
Pfütsero Town Baptist Church approved a global apostolate of 10,000 new missionaries. ==Resolutions==
