Anti-mission Baptist

Anti-mission Baptists are groups within the Baptist tradition that oppose certain missionary strategies, particularly the focus on evangelizing overseas or urban areas. They prioritize local church activities and personal faith over organized missions or large-scale evangelism efforts. Often, they believe that missions can sometimes divert from core biblical principles or lead to unnecessary institutionalism. In essence, Anti-mission Baptists emphasize spiritual growth within their local congregations, favoring individual evangelism and discipleship over broader missionary programs, while still holding to traditional Baptist doctrines and practices.
