The best answer would either be no one... or perhaps "Dr. Winston Crawley".

While Baptist mission work in the Philippines goes back to approximately 1899, the Southern Baptists did not begin work in the Philippines until 1941, but more as a training ground, not as a mission field. A larger group came in 1948. These were those expelled during the Maoist revolution in China. They settled in Baguio with the purpose of continuing work on Chinese language studies to prepare for their return to China.

By 1950, it was pretty clear there would be no easy return to mainland China and so mission work in the Philippines as a mission location of itself began. The first Southern Baptist church in the Philippines is Baguio Chinese Baptist Church (which is still in existence), founded in May 29, 1950. The Philippine Baptist Mission was formed about three months later.

If one was to be considered the "founder" of the Southern Baptist Church in the Philippines, it might be Dr. Winston Crawley. He was among the group of missionaries that came to the Philippines in 1948, baptized the first converts in 1950 and served as the first pastor of the first Southern Baptist church in the Philippines. The Winston Crawley Mission Center is presently located at Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary, located in Baguio City, Philippines.

Founder of Baptists?

Many folks are confused about this issue. Baptist did not have a founder. Not a human founder that is. The head and founder of the church is Jesus Christ Their standards and beliefs come directly from the word of God. They are followers of the Bible and are NOT protastant,seperatists,or a branch from the Catholic church. However these people were not always called Baptists. In ancient times it was just New Testament Christians. The term "Baptist" came around just before the middle ages. Due to persecution the Baptists were in hiding in different parts of the world and did not have an official name, so they were just "Biblical Christians". the first Baptist church in America was The First Baptist Church Of New York. The pastor was a man named John Clark who was a preacher from England.
