History

The All-Ukrainian Union of Churches of Evangelical Christian-Baptists has its origins in a believer's baptism movement in the 19th century.[1] In 1918, the All-Ukrainian Union of Baptists was founded.[2] In 1922, it became associated with Russian Union of Evangelical Christians-Baptists.[3] It was officially reorganized in 1990 and became independent of the Russian Union of Evangelical Christians-Baptists.[4] According to a denomination census released in 2020, it claimed 2,272 churches and 113,000 members.[5]
