1963-Present

Adoniram Judson Baptist Association

Boston Massachusetts           MA

Due to shifting demographics and advances in communication, 51 American Baptist Churches comprising the Salem Baptist Association and the Boston East Baptist Association, elected to merge and form the Adoniram Judson Baptist Association in 1963. Being the homebase where Adoniram Judson grew up, studied and was commissioned, it was only natural that his name be used to identify this new consolidation. The formal constitution was adopted in 1964.

In addition to traditional church support, this association is home base for Massachusetts Baptist Multicultural Ministries, a service of The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts (TABCOM) and led by Dr. Mar Imsong. The 38 churches now comprising the Adoniram Judson Baptist Association work cooperatively with Christian Youth Conference (CYC) for two weeks of summer camp naming their week for boys “Judson” and their week for girls “Hasseltine.”[1]
