Baptists number over 110 million worldwide in more than 220,000 congregations, and are considered the largest world communion of evangelical Protestants, with an estimated 38 million members in North America. Large populations of Baptists also exist in Asia, Africa and Latin America, notably in India (2.4 million), Nigeria (2.5 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1.9 million), and Brazil (1.7 million).

Baptist churches can be found in over 120 countries. While many Baptist Church buildings may qualify for inclusion in other categories such as This Old Church, National Register of Historic Places, etc., this is a place to include them all. Thus, cross-listing is welcomed.
To qualify, the building must either be an active church where worship services are held or a former church building. However, for former church buildings, you must have photographic proof (e.g., marker, plaque, tablet) or documented support (e.g., website) that the structure was formerly used as a Baptist church. If a sign no longer exists for a former Baptist Church, the documented proof of its former activity will replace the requirement for a photo of the church sign.
