Baptist Churches

Baptist Churches are a group of Christian congregations that emphasize adult baptism by immersion, belief in the authority of the Bible, and the autonomy of local churches. They often stress individual faith in Jesus Christ for salvation and the importance of sharing the gospel. Baptist beliefs can vary, but they generally uphold principles like religious freedom and separation of church and state. The denomination has diverse branches, including Southern Baptists and American Baptists, reflecting a range of theological and cultural perspectives while maintaining core tenets of Baptist identity.
