Shubal Stearns (sometimes spelled Shubael) (28 January 1706 – November 20, 1771), was a colonial evangelist and preacher during the Great Awakening.
He converted after hearing George Whitefield and planted a Baptist Church in Sandy Creek, Guilford County, North Carolina.
Stearns' highly successful ministry was related to the rise and expansion of the Separate Baptists — especially in much the American South.
