These churches predominantly adhere to [[fundamentalist]] [[conservative]] [[Baptist]] beliefs; however, there are also independent Baptist churches within the [[Reformed]] theological camp, many of which in the late 2010's withdrew from the [[Southern Baptist Convention]] over concerns that it was "going liberal".

Independent Baptist churches make up a small number of the Baptist churches in the [[United States]] and a small number of people who consider themselves Baptists belong to an Independent Baptist church.  They are strongest in the American South and the Midwest, though there are Independent Baptist churches all over the world.
