Baptists in Ukraine
The Baptist Church in Ukraine is one of the oldest and most widespread〔(RISU Portal on Baptists )〕 Protestant Christian denominations in the country. Before the fall of the Soviet Union, over half the 1.5 million acknowledged Baptists and Pentecostals in the USSR lived in Soviet Ukraine.〔Catherine Wanner. ''Missionaries of Faith and Culture: Evangelical Encounters in Ukraine''. Slavic Review, Vol. 63, No. 4. (Winter, 2004), pp. 732-755.〕 Prior to independence in 1991, Ukraine was home to the second largest Baptist community in the world, after the United States, and was called the “Bible Belt” of the former Soviet Union.
==History==
The predecessors of today's Baptists, the Anabaptists, were in Ukraine in the 16th century.〔
The first Baptist baptism (or "baptism by faith" of adult people) in Ukraine took place in 1864 on the river Ingul in the Yelizavetgrad region (now Kirovohrad region), in a German settlement. In 1867, the first Baptist communities were organized in that area. From there, the denomination spread to the south of Ukraine and then to other regions as well. One of the first Baptist communities was registered in Kiev in 1907, and in 1908 the First All-Russian Convention of Baptists was held there. The All-Russian Union of Baptists was established in the town of Yekaterinoslav (now Dnipropetrovsk). At the end of the 19th century, estimates are that there were from 100,000 to 300,000 Baptists in Ukraine.〔(History of the AUC ECB ) Всеукраїнський Союз Церков Євангельських Християн-Баптистів web site 〕
