=== About This Site ===
While we do not look to [https://acchistory.org/index.php?title=Samuel_H._Fr%C3%B6hlich Samuel Froehlich] as anything more than a man working out his salvation, we appreciate the revival he sparked that not only revived the Radical Reformation, but also sparked revival in the stagnant State church. This movement has reached 6 continents, and many language groups.

Froelich did not want to start a church, or sect, he wanted to revive the whole of Christianity. His preaching of a changed life(New Birth), believers baptism, and many other things that the Christian Church today takes for granted resulted in his expulsion from the state church. Traveling Germany and Switzerland as an outlaw preacher, his preaching ignited the Holy Spirit in many from the nominal reformed state church, The Mennonite community that had grown legalistic, and people from the world. 

In 1832, he performed believer's baptism on 38 of these renewed believers. The communion on Pentecost Sunday of the same year is today considered to be the birth of the Evangelical Baptist Church. The next several years resulted in missionary activity that reached from Western Europe, into Eastern Europe, and across the ocean to North America. This activity was fueled by both persecutions that kept the believers moving from town to town, and by Froelich's rule that no more than 2 ordained ministers should attend the same service. If more than 2 ministers showed up at a meeting, the extras would go into town and find a group of people to preach to. The next 150 years would see both growth and division, Here we celebrate, and document that movement.

=== Basics ===


The [[Doctrine]] of the Evangelical Baptist church started with a mix of [[Anabaptist]] and [[Pietist]] beliefs that have been revised over the years with some branches claiming to retain the original teachings, and others retaining only the basics.

The [[Hymnology]] of the Evangelical Baptist church started with the [[Zion's Harp]], and has expanded throughout the years. Many of these songs and hymns have been recorded by [[AC Artists]]
