The Union of Baptist Churches in the Netherlands has its origins in the founding of the first Baptist church in Amsterdam, by the English pastor John Smyth in 1609, thus marking the beginning of the Baptist movement.[1] However, it was a mission of the Danish Julius Köbner in 1845 that allowed the establishment of several churches in the country.[2] It was officially founded by seven congregations in 1881.[3] According to a denomination census released in 2023, it claimed 80 churches and 9,184 members.[4]
