Henry attended the Episcopal Church as a teenager, became baptized and confirmed there and then soon became a church dropout. At the early age of twenty Henry had worked his way up the ranks of a local newspaper to the profession of a journalist. .
In the book by Bob E. Patterson, Makers of the Modern Theological Mind CARL F.H. HENRY (1983), Henry, like other evangelicals, also would have a typical conversion experience, this meant that he was "born again- on June 10, 1933. "Out of this experience Henry has formulated his own definition of conversion. Incomparable peace, the reality of sins forgiven, a sense of destiny and direction, and above all the awareness of a new Presence and Power at the core of life "this is rebirth. I was now on speaking terms with God, a friend of the King, a servant of the Saviour- (p.20). This conversion experience changed his life to devote from journalism to theology. Sensing a call to ministry, from his conversion experience, he entered Wheaton College in Illinois. While at Wheaton he married his lifelong companion Helga in which they became parents of two children. During his period at Wheaton, Henry had friendships with some of the future leaders within the evangelical movement, such as Billy Graham. By 1943 Henry would complete most of his formal education (B.A., M.A., Wheaton; B.D., Th.D., Northern Baptist Theological Seminary) (p.23). .
With Henry's formal education in theology he would teach at Northern Seminary until 1947, then he would be invited to join the faculty to help start the newly founded Fuller Theological Seminary. Fuller Seminary was the brainchild of evangelist Charles E. Fuller and Harold J. Ockenga, pastor of Boston's prestigious Park Street Church. During this time he completed his Ph.D. at Boston University under personalist philosopher Edgar Brightman. Henry came forth as a critical leader among the faculty at Fuller Seminary, therefore making it one of the most outstanding seminaries in America.
