The Baptist family of churches has played an enduring role in American faith. Baptist churches are Protestant Christian congregations that practice believer's baptism by immersion and emphasize the autonomy of the local church. The Baptist tradition is one of the largest Protestant families in the United States. The tradition traces its modern form to Early 17th century. Today there are roughly ~50 million in the U.S. of this tradition.

The congregation is one of many churches active in the West, where Spanish missions, Asian-American congregations, and modern megachurches all share the landscape. San Jose sits within California, whose state capital is Sacramento. The church reflects the broader presence of the Baptist community across California.
