Liste baptistischer Kirchen

Diese Liste baptistischer Kirchen führt nationale und internationale baptistische Föderationen sowie lose Zusammenschlüsse baptistischer Gemeinden rund um die Erde.

Die meisten Baptisten haben ein kongregationalistisches Verständnis von Kirche. Die wesentliche Rolle in ihrer Ekklesiologie spielt die Ortsgemeinde. Gemeindebünde haben nach ihrem Verständnis keine theologische Bedeutung. Sie haben ihre Begründung unter anderem in der gemeinsamen Geschichte, in der gemeinsamen theologischen Ausrichtung sowie in gemeinsamen Aufgaben, die die Möglichkeiten einer Einzelgemeinde in der Regel übersteigt (zum Beispiel die theologische Ausbildung der Hauptamtlichen, Diakonie, Mission). Örtliche Baptistengemeinden können aus ihrem angestammten Zusammenschluss austreten und in eine andere Union wechseln. Manche sogenannte „freie“ oder „unabhängige“ Baptistengemeinden gehören keiner überörtlichen Verbindung an.

Globale Zusammenarbeit

Zum Weltbund der Baptisten gehören rund 47 Millionen gläubig getaufter Mitglieder. Er ist der größte weltweite Zusammenschluss von Baptistenbünden.
