The Minnesota Baptist Association is an organization of independent fundamental Baptist churches in the state of Minnesota. The organization is sub-divided into five regional associations. Pillsbury Baptist Bible College is affiliated with this association.

The first meeting of the state convention of Minnesota Baptists was held August 28, 1859 in Winona. Originally known as the Minnesota Baptist Convention and affiliated with the Northern Baptist Convention, this body withdrew from the Northern Baptists because of what they felt was an increasing trend toward modernism among the leadership, colleges, etc. Later the name was changed from "Convention" to "Association".
