Notable people who consider themselves to be Independent Baptists include [[John R. Rice]], [[Peter Ruckman]], Bob Jones Jr., and Bob Jones III. [[Jerry Falwell]] began his ministry as an Independent Baptist, but later joined the Southern Baptist Convention. Numerous Bible [[colleges]], including [[Pensacola Christian College]], are affiliated with this denomination, and [[Bob Jones University]] is sometimes associated with the movement despite being non-denominational and being founded by a [[Methodist]]. Many Independent Baptist Bible colleges are small institutions operated by a local church, like Landmark Baptist College in Haines City, Florida.
