The Baptist tradition has shaped Christianity in the United States in distinctive ways. 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 Midwest — a region known for strong rural and urban Christian traditions. Knoxville sits within Iowa, whose state capital is Des Moines. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
