Comment

The Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT), more commonly known as the Texas Baptists, is the oldest surviving Baptist Christian denomination in the U.S. state of Texas. Primarily affiliated with the Baptist World Alliance, the Texas Baptists are nominally affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and operates more autonomously than other affiliated state conventions.
Texas Baptist offices are located in the city of Dallas, though convention staff are located across the state. According to a denomination census released in 2020, it claimed 5,341 churches and 1,708,415 members, although as of 2023, it has approximately 5,375 churches and 2,038,537 members
