On January 21, 1525, a small group of Christians gathered in Zurich for a secret worship service to avoid the prying eyes of Zurich’s authorities, who were already cracking down on dissenters from the established Reformation. They renounced infant baptism and performed voluntary adult baptism — a life-changing promise to follow Jesus’ path.
Following this gathering that marked the beginning of the Anabaptist movement, missionaries played a pivotal role in the evolution of Anabaptism, significantly influencing its theology, spread, and survival — culminating in establishing Anabaptist communities throughout the world. Learn more.
