Baptists in Finland have existed since the middle of the 19th century.^[1] They are part of the Baptist branch of evangelical Christianity and belong to three different Finnish church associations. Swedish-speaking Finns formed the Swedish Baptist Union of Finland (Swedish: Finlands svenska baptistsamfund), while Finnish-speaking Baptists are united in the Finnish Baptist Church (Finnish: Suomen Baptistikirkko); two Finnish congregations are a part of the Seventh Day Baptists. In addition, a few independent Baptist churches exist, including Grace Baptist Church (Finnish: Armon Baptistiseurakunta) in Tampere. The congregation was formerly known as Perinteinen Baptistiseurakunta in Finnish and International Baptist Church in English. Agape International Baptist Church in Pedersöre is also among the independent Baptist churches.
