Why Traditional?
FBC
Mobile is committed to championing and modeling freedom of conscience
among people of faith, while upholding the authority of the Bible in all
matters of faith and practice. We look to the life and teaching of
Jesus as a guide to biblical interpretation and Christian practice. We
reject binding creeds or quasi-binding doctrinal statements of human
origin.
FBC Mobile governs its own affairs under the lordship of Jesus Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit by means of congregational church governance in which important decisions concerning the church are made by the congregation as a whole through the democratic process. We reject authoritarian pastoral leadership, denominational connectionalism, and any attempt by persons outside our local congregation to exercise authority over the affairs of our church.
FBC Mobile continues to worship corporately in a style which is joyous and appropriately respectful of the solemnity and holiness of the occasion and does not substitute religious entertainment for divine worship. Although we reject worship as entertainment, we do not mean to suggest or imply that contemporary forms of worship are illegitimate or irreverent. We believe that there should be a church in Mobile for historic Baptists and other followers of Christ who enjoy worship in a more traditional style.
