History
The Independent Baptist tradition began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among local Baptist congregations concerned about the perceived advancement of modernism and liberalism into national Baptist denominations and conventions in the United States and England. Some local Baptist churches separated from their former denominations and conventions and reestablished themselves as independent churches, while the more conservative elements of other churches set about establishing new Independent Baptist churches instead of remaining within their former denominational churches.
