Reformed Baptists - in The United Kingdom

In The United Kingdom

Reformed Baptist churches in the UK go back to the 1630s. Notable early pastors include the author John Bunyan (1628–1688), the theologian John Gill (1697–1771), and the missionary William Carey (1761–1834). Charles Spurgeon (1834–1892), pastor to the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London, has been called "by far the most famous and influential preacher the Baptists had."

The 1950s saw a renewed interest in Reformed theology among Baptists in the UK.

Peter Masters, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, created the London Reformed Baptist Seminary in 1975.
