Baptist Churches in Western Australia

The Baptist Church is a Christian church which was formed in Europe circa 1609 as part of the Reformation. The Church was first established in Australia in what is now Tasmania in 1835. The first chapel was built in Bathurst Street in central Sydney in 1836. It was not until 1895 that the church founded a presence in Western Australia. By 2016 there are around 110 Baptist Churches across the state, servicing a congregation exceeding 11,000 people
