It does not own affiliated churches, appoint their leaders or have authority over them. It is a cooperation of autonomous churches with the same central beliefs who pool some of their resources together for missions. It is an association, not a denomination. The SBC defines itself as a "cooperation" among other terms and explains that "each Southern Baptist church is autonomous and unique." Tags: Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
