The Macau Baptist Convention (Abbr: MBC) is a Baptist Christian denomination in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It is a member of the Baptist World Alliance.
History It can trace its origins to the work established by the Triennial Convention missionaries, John and Henrietta Shuck, in 1835. The first Baptist church was, however, only set up in 1905 when the Macau Baptist Church was planted by Charlton Todd.澳門浸信教會: 本會歷史 (in Chinese) A building was purchased in 1927 at the Rua Pedro Nolasco da Silva to house its congregation and is today also the headquarters of the MBC.Macao Yearbook 2003: Religion and Customs
