'''Not to be confused with [[American Baptist Churches USA]].'''
The '''American Baptist Association (ABA)''' is a [[Baptist]] denomination, located predominantly in the American South. The ABA is headquartered in [[Texarkana, Texas]], which also houses its publishing house (Bogard Press). The ABA operates a seminary in [[Little Rock]], [[Arkansas]].
The ABA was founded in 1924 from a merger of two Baptist groups, and was influenced early by Ben Bogard, a proponent of Baptist successionism.<ref>Also called Landmarkism, the doctrine teaches that Baptists have existed since the beginning of the Christian church; as such groups holding to Landmarkism do not consider themselves [[Protestant]], as they reserved that distinction to groups formed from the [[Reformation]].</ref>
Outside of its Landmarkism, the ABA generally holds to traditional, conservative Baptist doctrine.
The [[Baptist Missionary Association of America]] split from the ABA in 1950 over matters of church representation.
