History

The Convention has its origins in a Swedish mission in Föglö, Åland in 1854. [1] The first Finnish Baptist congregation near Pori was founded in 1870 by Henriksson. [2] The Finnish Baptist Union was officially formed in 1903. [3] In 2009, the Finnish Baptist Union changed its name to the Finnish Baptist Church.

According to a census published by the association in 2023, it claimed 18 churches and 900 members.[4]

Beliefs

Many among the Finnish Baptist church have been influenced doctrinally by Lutheranism. Finnish Baptists generally aren't Charismatic, though some have moderate continuationist views.[5] They affirm the basic Protestant doctrines of the five solae and general Baptist doctrines such as memorialism and credobaptism.[6]

The Finnish Baptist Church does not ordain women and is theologically conservative.[5]
