The Old Baptist Union was founded in 1880, owing largely to the labours of Henry Augustus Squire, an itinerant preacher.
They historically put more emphasis on the laying on of hands, divine healing, and personal holiness than some other Baptist affiliations.
The Union is a member of both the Free Churches Council and the Evangelical Alliance, and most of its churches are members of local geographic associations of the Baptist Union of Great Britain.
Its government structure is somewhat of a combination of congregational and presbyteral, involving in each church the appointment of elders.
