In 1838, 7 Baptist churches and 150 members were established. In 1910, ten Baptist churches founded the Federation of Evangelical Baptist Churches of Northern France. In 1922, the Federation had churches in various regions of France and was renamed the "Federation of Evangelical Baptist Churches of France".
