Description
Bangladesh Baptist Church Sangha is a fellowship of 390 churches in all parts of Bangladesh. We are organised geographically in 10 regional (anchalik) associations. Here is a map and table to illustrate where our churches are:

Other churches have been established in outreach areas outside of the ABCS structure.
Some of our work is happening through starting small group meetings in homes and villages, primarily in new areas where the gospel is being received and growing. In future years our hope is that many of these newly planted fellowships will become recognised churches. However, others may remain without becoming constituted due to the nature and location of the work.
Church life happens inside and outside buildings and in many different settings in Bangladesh. There is benefit in a church being part of the recognised ministry of BBCS and having land and a building and a recognised ordained Pastor as this gives the church visible identity and also gives the church government recognition and protection.
