Stillman Association of Churches

The Samuel Stillman Association is one of the regional associations of the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts.

We're one of the most diverse associations around. We're in the cities and the suburbs. We worship in many languages. As Baptists, we govern ourselves.

We're named for Samuel Stillman, the notable Revolutionary-era pastor of
First Baptist Church of Boston.
