G. Conventions, Regional, White 1. Cherokee Georgia Baptist Convention (1854-1864) The Cherokee Georgia Baptist Convention was formed in 1854 by leaders of churches and associations in Northwest Georgia. While not unfriendly to the Georgia Baptist Convention, this body supported its own extensive ministries: Woodland Female College (Cedartown); Cherokee Baptist College (Cassville); Landmark Banner and Cherokee Baptist (later called Banner and Baptist and Baptist Banner), published in Rome, later in Atlanta, and finally in Augusta, 1859-1865; and E. L. Compere, missionary to the Western Cherokees and Confederate chaplain, 1861-1864. At its height in 1860 it included 8 associations with about 250 churches. It was a casuality of the war in 1864.

North Georgia Baptist Convention (1878-1894) Constituted in 1878 as the General Missionary Association of North Georgia, this body changed its name in 1890 to the North Georgia Baptist Convention. It incorporated churches from 6 associations extending from Toccoa to Gainesville. Its accomplishments included financial aid to retired ministers; raising funds to sustain a native preacher in China and another to Western Native Americans; providing scholarship assistance to C. W. Pruitt, soon to become a Southern Baptist missionary to China; and at least verbal support for Hiawassee High School (Hiawassee), Hightower Institute (Cumming), and Hollingsworth High School (Hollingsworth). The convention died in 1894, apparently

because many of the churches and associations were relating themselves directly with the Georgia Baptist Convention.

South [or Southern] Georgia Baptist Convention (1890-1898/1899) Founded in 1890 as the South Georgia General Association, this organization changed its name in 1893 to the South (or Southern) Georgia Baptist Convention. Centered in the Eastman-McRae area, it was made up of churches of 10 nearby associations. It provided verbal and financial support for New Ebenezer College (Cochran), Freddie Shipp College (Cordele), Daniell High School (Vidalia), and Norman Institute (Norman Park). A notable Bible Institute was conducted for two months in 1896-1897 at Eastman. From its initiation, the convention had supported the Georgia Baptist Convention. It died in 1898/1899 when its services were considered to be no longer necessary.
