Benton Baptist Church is part of the Baptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 2,481 congregations of the Baptist family gather across Mississippi — 71,872 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.

The community around Benton Baptist Church

It takes 5.2 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and nearly half of adults live with obesity, and nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
