The Baptist Union refers to a collective organization of Baptist churches that work together for mutual support, mission, and ministry. These unions often provide resources, training, and guidance to local congregations, helping them to grow and fulfill their mission. They may also engage in social justice initiatives and community outreach. In many countries, the Baptist Union serves as a governing body that represents the interests of its member churches. It promotes cooperation among different Baptist denominations and fosters unity while respecting diverse beliefs and practices within the Baptist tradition.
