Among [[Southern Baptist]]s in the United States, [[pastor]]s are often referred to in written communication and formal address as ''Reverend''. However,  Southern Baptist pastors are often  orally addressed as either ''Brother'' (e.g., ''Brother Smith'', as New Testament writers describe Christians as being brothers and sisters in Christ) or ''Pastor'' (as in ''Pastor Smith'' or simply ''Pastor'' without the pastor's last name).

Many African American Baptists use "Reverend" informally and formally, however correctly ''The Reverend John Smith'' or ''The Reverend Mary Smith''.

Members of the [[National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.|National Baptist Convention]] usually refer to their pastors as ''The Reverend''.
