The Association of Grace Baptist Churches (South East) (AGBC(SE)) is an association of churches in London and South East England.
[2] All the members of the association are independent Baptist churches of an evangelical persuasion.
It is also involved in lobbying the government on issues important to its members, through its membership of Churches' Legislation Advisory Service (CLAS).
John Stevens, a Baptist minister in London, was noted for his influence in the formation of the association, which was motivated by concern to maintain clear Calvinist doctrines.
[7] The name "Strict" represented the position that the churches had on a strict or closed communion (also known at the Lord's Table), whereby the churches required all those taking part in this ordinance to be baptised by immersion.
