John Mason Peck fut un abolitionniste et un missionnaire baptiste à la frontière occidentale des États-Unis. Son travail s'est concentré sur l'établissement d'églises et d'institutions éducatives au service des communautés en développement. Il a joué un rôle déterminant dans la fondation de plusieurs organisations baptistes qui ont soutenu les efforts religieux et éducatifs dans l'Ouest. Le dévouement de Peck à la propagation du christianisme et de l'éducation a façonné le paysage religieux du début de l'Ouest américain.
