The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is a United States-based cooperative ministry agency serving Baptist churches around the world. The words Southern Baptist Convention refer both to the denomination and its annual meeting of delegates. Its "confession of faith" (not binding on members or congregations) is the Baptist Faith and Message (2000 edition). The SBC is the largest Baptist group, and the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, claiming 16 million members.
