Best Answer

A Southern Baptist Church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention and hold to certain conservative beliefs although each church is fundamentally autonomous. There is a Southern Baptist Church actually in Northport, Washington 7 miles from the Canadian border so, location is not the only thing that determines Southern Baptist.

Actually, not only is location "not" the only thing, it isn't a factor at all. If a church is officially a member of the SBC, it is a Southern Baptist Church, no matter where it is located. There are Southern Baptist churches in many parts of the country and the world.

when the term "baptist" is used most people are talking about Southern Baptists. They are the largest protestant group. They are organized as autonomous churches but the missions are unified.
