The one and a half million members and nearly six
thousand congregations of
American Baptist Churches USA around the world share a common tradition that began
more than three hundred years ago.
That tradition has emphasized the Lordship and atoning
sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the competency of all
believers to be in direct relationship with God and to interpret Scripture,
the importance of the local church, the assurance of freedom in worship and
opinion, and the need to be Christ’s witnesses within society.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the
following documents that tell of the traditions and practices of
American Baptists.
