Twelfth Baptist Church is part of the Baptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 468 congregations of the Baptist family gather across Massachusetts — 71,417 across the United States on The Church Map.
Baptists pressed harder than anyone for religious liberty in America, and the freedom every other congregation on this map enjoys is partly what they won. They have carried believers' baptism and the priesthood of every believer to more of the world than almost anyone — and the Black Baptist church has repeatedly been the conscience of the whole nation.
