_Why Unique?

Picture
_FBC Mobile freely partners with churches of like faith and practice, mission entities, churches of other denominations, parachurch organizations, and secular entities for the promotion of the common good.  We are an ecumenical church willing to make common cause with others (regardless of the theological differences which separate us) for the good of the community, nation, and world.  FBC Mobile provides opportunities for youth and adult Bible study which avoid indoctrination and allow for a free and open discussion of the theological and ethical issues presented by the biblical text.  While we recognize that all religious education (for children, youth, and adults) properly has doctrinal transmission as a primary component, we believe that older youth and adults should be free to engage the biblical text and their teachers with questions that test and challenge traditional understandings and interpretations.  FBC Mobile's members are free to affiliate with and support both the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Southern Baptist Convention.  We are a moderate Baptist church and do not generally support the so-called "conservative resurgence" in the institutions and organizations of the Southern Baptist Convention.
