I have only been able to find references to individual churches named some variation of "Baptist Church of Christ" with no apparent denominational connection. Google Books has also only turned up references to individual churches. Somebody more well-versed than me may be able to find something but I think it's doubtful.

- Comment: obviously the article needs a lot of work, but the fact that it had an entry in the Encyclopedia Americana should have been a big enough clue that it was notable. Having said that, second source notes that it includes the Elk River and Duck River Associations, (which suggests that it was (what later became) the General Association of Baptists), but then says it was part of what became the American Baptist Churches USA. So I'm still trying to get my head around all the groups. StAnselm (talk) 04:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- OK, this is the thing to read. (As a side note, the existence of this book is going to make pretty much any 19th century denomination notable.) StAnselm (talk) 04:32, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Three clear direct references is enough for me! I'll withdraw :) (and clearly need to work on my Google Books skills) ThadeusOfNazereth(he/they)Talk to Me! 04:53, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
