Baptist churches form a meaningful part of American Christian life. 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 joins a long tradition of Christian witness across the South, a region whose religious landscape ranges from historic cathedrals to country chapels and storefront congregations. Okarche sits within Oklahoma, whose state capital is Oklahoma City. The church reflects the broader presence of the Baptist community across Oklahoma.
