The All-Ukrainian Union of Evangelical Christian-Baptist Churches unites local churches with the help of 24 regional associations for the organizational and spiritual unity of believers and the active spread of evangelical teachings. With the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the churches of several regions were forced to either migrate or leave for other regions. Before the war, the Union included 2, 400 churches and groups with over 104,000 members. The Union also includes five associations of Evangelical-Baptist churches of the Ukrainian diaspora in European countries, in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Portugal. Evangelical Baptist Christians began counting their own history in Ukraine 171 years ago, starting from the date of baptism of the first Ukrainian in 1852. The highest governing body of the Ukrainian Baptist Union is the congress of representatives of churches, which takes place once every five years. The Congress approves the statutory provisions, the main directions of spiritual and organizational work of the Union, elects the President and approves the members of the Board (Vice-Presidents). Ukrainian Baptist Union serves the society through: • Preaching the Gospel • Spreading family values • Social service • Musical and creative evangelistic events • Volunteer movement • Educational events and scientific works • Media and communications • Cultural and educational events
