George Beauchamp Vick

George Beauchamp Vick (1901–1975), known as G. Beauchamp Vick, was pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, USA, from 1950 to the 1970s. J. Frank Norris, pastor of Temple Baptist from 1934 to 1950, appointed Vick in 1935 to help him manage the church, as Norris himself traveled between it and First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1950, Vick had a falling out with Norris and became pastor of Temple Baptist. Vick and others disillusioned with Norris founded the Baptist Bible Fellowship International and Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri.

John R. Rice, editor of the Sword of the Lord and the confidant and supporter of Bob Jones, Sr., was one of the leaders of American Fundamentalism in the 1950s and 1960 was a protégé of J. Frank Norris and grew up in his household. Rice later broke with Norris over the Calvinist doctrine of predestination and split the fundamentalist movement. The Jones were not supporters of the particular, or Calvinistic, Baptists.
