Iglesia Bautista Betania is part of the Baptist family of churches in The American Church Story. 1,478 congregations of the Baptist family gather across Pennsylvania — 71,420 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.

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third describe their own health as fair or poor, and nearly a quarter of working-age adults live without health insurance. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
