ORIGIN OF THE BAPTISTS
Baptists have three points of origin: The New Testament, the Protestant Reformation, and Puritan and Separatist congregations. Being over 400 years old, Baptists have always been first and foremost people of the Book, Christological in focus, passionate about religious liberty and with sharing the faith. It is because of this that Carey Theological College is named after one of the great missionaries of the 18th century, William Carey.
