The Middle States Mission closed and Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and Ohio once more came under the Southern States Mission.

Boundary Change

The state of Ohio was transferred to the Northern States Mission.

The East Central States Mission was organized from the Eastern States Mission and the Southern States Mission. The states of Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia were taken from the Southern States Mission. This left the mission with the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida.
