GeneralAssociation of RegularBaptistChurches (GARBC) - one of several Baptist groups in North America retaining the name "RegularBaptist".
The impact of modernism on the Northern Baptist Convention (now called American BaptistChurches in the USA) led to the eventual withdrawal of a number of conservative and fundamentalist churches.
The GeneralAssociation of RegularBaptistChurches was formed in 1932 in Chicago, Illinois in what would be the last meeting of the BBU and the first of the GARBC.
The Fundamental Fellowship was organized in 1920 as the National Federation of Fundamentalists of the Northern Baptists, during the fundamentalist/modernist controversy in the Northern Baptist Convention (NBC).
While more militant fundamentalists withdrew from the NBC in 1932 to form the GeneralAssociation of RegularBaptistChurches, members of the Fellowship labored within the Convention and sought reform.
In 1946 the Fundamentalist Fellowship changed its name to Conservative Baptist Fellowship, and was instrumental in organizing the Conservative BaptistAssociation of America in 1947 and the Conservative Baptist Home Mission Society in 1948.
