History
The International Baptist Convention has its roots in the Association of Baptists in Continental Europe founded in 1959 by Immanuel Baptist Church in Wiesbaden and Bethel International Baptist Church in Frankfurt, Germany.[1] Beginning in 1961, the International Mission Board sent a missionary couple to work with these churches. Some churches of the British Isles joined the ABCE in 1964, and the name was changed to the European Baptist Convention (EBC). The aim was to provide services in English for foreigners in Europe. In 2003, the name was changed to International Baptist Convention after the body expanded outside Europe.[2] According to a census published by the association in 2025, it claimed 5,429 members and 63 churches,[3] in 26 countries.[4]
