The Baptist Convention refers to a gathering of Baptist churches and organizations that come together to promote their shared beliefs and mission. These conventions often focus on worship, fellowship, and the exchange of ideas among members. They can be local, state, or national in scope, with the most prominent being the Southern Baptist Convention. During these conventions, participants discuss various topics such as evangelism, education, and social issues. They also make decisions regarding funding for missions and support for ministries. The conventions serve as a platform for collaboration and unity among the diverse groups within the Baptist faith.
