The Deacon They Exiled – Episode 001

South Carolina Baptist Convention — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 09:47:07 -0700

What does a deacon banished from Boston by the Puritans have to do with the first Baptist church ever planted in the South? In this episode, we trace that unlikely thread all the way to South Carolina — and uncover why two rival Baptist movements, one from the coast and one from the backcountry, spent decades at odds with each other before quietly merging in one small town that's now our state capital. Along the way, we ask a bigger question: what does it take to turn a handful of independent, do-it-yourself churches into a movement that's still multiplying 250 years later?

Welcome to Together with SCBaptist

South Carolina Baptist Convention — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 16:19:57 -0700

In our very first episode, we're kicking things off simple — no guests, no deep dive, just an introduction to what this podcast is all about.

"Together with SCBaptist" is a new show bringing you news and stories from South Carolina Baptists, for South Carolina Baptists. In this short welcome episode, we'll share what you can expect from the season ahead: a look back at the origin story of the South Carolina Baptist Convention — the churches, leaders, and Gospel conviction that built it — and a look forward at what God is doing next through SendSC, a new partnership between SCBaptist and the North American Mission Board's Send Network.

But that's not all — we're talking all things related to advancing the Gospel in South Carolina and beyond, together.
