Book excerpt: The history of the West Virginia Free Will Baptists began 145 years ago in the Eastern part of the state near Harpers Ferry, when a Free Will Baptist Church was begun in 1868. By 1873 there was also a Taylor Quarterly Meeting in the northern part of the state which was affiliated with the Ohio River Yearly Meeting. Likewise in July, 1883 the Kanawha County organized a quarterly meeting with the influence of some of the brethren in southern Ohio. The Kanawha church was organized in 1879. Since those days their were many quarterly meetings that were started and the West Virginia Yearly Meeting was formed in 1886 with 25 churches and 885 members. Then the merger with the Northern Baptist came in 1911-12, but these did not seem to affect the churches in the southern part of West Virginia. Later these Free Will Baptists merged with the Tri-State Association of Free Will Baptist which consisted of Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky which was formed in 1919.The present West Virginia State Association was formed in 1945-46. Today there are 21 conferences and 172 churches in the State Association and many independent Free Will Baptist churches within the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decades of the eighteenth century brought numerous changes to the citizens of colonial New England. As the colonists were joining together in their fight for independence from England, a collection of like-minded believers in southern New Hampshire forged an identity as a new religious tradition. Benjamin Randall (1749ndash;1808) was one of the principle founders of the Freewill Baptist movement in colonial New England. Randall was one of the many eighteenth-century colonists that enjoyed a conversion experience as a result of the revival ministry of George Whitefield. His newfound spiritual zeal prompted him to examine the scriptures on his own, and he began to question the practice of infant baptism. Randall completed his separation from the Congregational church of his youth when he contacted a Baptist congregation and submitted himself for baptism. When Randall was introduced to the Baptists in New England, he was made aware that his theology, including God's universal love and universal grace, was at odds with Calvin's doctrine of election that was affirmed by the other Baptists. Randall's spiritual journey continued as he began to preach revival services throughout the region. His ministry was well received and he established a new congregation in New Durham, New Hampshire, in 1780. The congregation in New Durham served as Randall's base of operation as he led revival services throughout New Hampshire and Southern Maine. Randall's travels introduced him to many colonists who accepted his message of universal love and universal grace and a movement was born as Randall formed many congregations throughout the region. Randall spent the remainder of his life organizing, guiding, and leading the Freewill Baptists as they developed into a religious tradition that included thousands of adherents spread throughout New England and into Canada.

The information about these ministers were all that was available to me or found in archives. I made every effort to include those for which they would be remembered.
