The Baptist tradition has shaped Christianity in the United States in distinctive ways. 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.

It belongs to a wider community of churches across the Northeast — a region with deep colonial-era Christian roots. DeRuyter sits within New York, whose state capital is Albany. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
