This is a List of Kingdom Baptist settlements that were established and inhabited by members of the Baptist Church of the Kingdom. A series of settlements have been established since the Kingdom Baptists emigrated to Wallenland with 32 settlements founded by the church. These towns and places have been named after places and people in the Bible, the Book of Malaika and the Book of Mwili, after church leaders and prominent clergy, or after elements of the church's history.
The first settlements of the church were in Unified Sera but the settlers were driven off by the locals. However, the church remained in Unified Sera as Amani Al-Kito believed that the persecution was a test by God for the coming days but after his death and a four year-long succession crisis, Kwame Al-Kito relocated to the outskirts of Fellhaven and began trading with the locals to fund the church's migration, though some resorted to scamming and burglary which resulted in several lynchings, yet funding was successful with the church departing from Fellhaven in December, 1889.
