Baptist Union of Great Britain
Overview
The Baptist Union of Great Britain is an association of Baptist churches in England and Wales.
History
It developed from nineteenth-century Baptist cooperation while maintaining the local autonomy characteristic of Baptist church life.
Beliefs and emphases
Member churches generally affirm believer's baptism, gathered church membership, Scripture, mission, and congregational responsibility; the Union does not erase their diversity.
Worship and practice
Services vary widely but commonly include preaching, prayer, congregational music, believer's baptism, and communion.
Organisation and life
It supports churches through regional associations and national ministries rather than a bishop-led hierarchy.
