Southern Baptist churches

Southern Baptist churches are a group of Christian congregations that emphasize personal faith in Jesus Christ, baptism by immersion, and the authority of the Bible. They are part of the larger Baptist tradition and often focus on evangelism, missionary work, and community service. The Southern Baptist Convention, their largest organization, provides guidance and resources while individual churches maintain local autonomy. They generally hold conservative theological views, emphasizing individual salvation and the importance of Scripture in daily life, and are known for their active outreach and commitment to religious freedom.
