Baptist History Preservation Society

The best way of preserving our history is to acquaint ourselves with the stories of the past.

About Us

The Baptist History Preservation Society is a ministry of the Harvest Baptist Church in Rockwell, North Carolina.  Since 1997, our burden has been to preserve the rich heritage of the Baptists. This is being accomplished in a variety of ways.

  • The Baptist History tours have introduced numerous Baptists to their past. According to testimony, the trips have been a source of inspiration and instruction. There is a separate page within this site concerning the tours.
  • Erecting memorial markers in an effort to commemorate the lives and events of the faithful Baptist servants of the past will be an ongoing work. These markers are placed at graves, churches, and other sites of historical significance. To date, we have been able to dedicate twenty-two monuments in twelve different states.
  • Restoring and maintaining old meetinghouses, cemeteries, and historic sites is another important work of preservation in which we have been involved.
  • Procuring and restoring the rare books, writings and ephemera of the Baptists is another concern. The collection is growing constantly and our desire is to put many of these worthy materials back into print for  present and future generations. 
  • Commissioning Baptist History paintings. To date, seven paintings have been completed.
  • Preserving our heritage through propagation. Teaching New Testament church planting.
  • The vision for the future involves a museum, library and archives. Plans are currently under review for a state of the art archive facility.
  • Finally, we preach and teach on the subject of Baptist History.

Thanks for your interest in this ministry.
