Baptists are normally autonomous and independent. Local churches may gather into denominations, fellowships, and conventions. However, there is no one overarching organization of Baptists.
A large number of Baptist denominations have chosen to be members of a larger organization... the Baptist World Alliance (or BWA). The BWA does not control these denominations. The number of Baptists that are associated with the BWA is in excess of 40 million. Many Baptist groups do not associate with the BWA.
As of 2013, John Upton is the President of the BWA, and Neville Callam is the General Secretary.
