The Baptist family of churches has played an enduring role in American faith. Baptist churches are Protestant Christian congregations that practice believer's baptism by immersion and emphasize the autonomy of the local church. The Baptist tradition is one of the largest Protestant families in the United States. The tradition traces its modern form to the early 17th century. Today the tradition counts approximately 50 million in the U.S.

It belongs to a wider community of churches across the West, where Spanish missions, Asian-American congregations, and modern megachurches all share the landscape. Oakland sits within California, whose state capital is Sacramento. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
