Other Strict Baptist churches
The term Strict Baptist was used up until recent decades by other sizeable groups of Calvinistic Baptist churches in England that did not adhere to the Gospel Standard Articles or Magazine. Many were members of regional Strict Baptist Associations, but from about 1980 onwards assemblies, regional associations, and charities connected with this movement gradually adopted the appellation "Grace Baptist". Lists of churches can be found on the websites of the various regional Grace Baptist associations.
The churches listed below were added to this section before the above information about Grace Baptists, and may well be unrelated.
