The North American Mission Board (NAMB) is the domestic missions agency of the Southern Baptist Convention. Their defined mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, start New Testament congregations, minister to persons in the name of Christ, and assist churches in the United States, Canada and U.S. territories in effectively performing these functions. 44% of the funding for this agency comes from the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions. Annie Armstrong (1850-1938)was a tireless advocate for missions at home and abroad.

NAMB was founded in 1997 out of the roots of the Home Mission Board. Dr. Bob Reccord came to NAMB to take over as president from First Baptist Church of Norfolk. However, he and several executive staff members resigned on April 17, 2006.

NAMB is currently headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia.
