Less than a month after finalizing the ouster of one of its largest churches for having women pastors, the Southern Baptist Convention has lost another of its biggest congregations: Elevation Church.
for having women pastors, the Southern Baptist Convention has lost another of its biggest congregations.
The Baptist Faith and Message — the denomination’s statement of faith — says the office of pastor is limited to qualified men. Influential Southern Baptist leaders have said that preaching is inextricably linked to the role of pastor. It maintained that the church’s beliefs are “very much in line” with those of Southern Baptists and has no intention of changing that.
Founded in 2006, the Matthews, North Carolina-based church has multiple campuses in the Charlotte area and elsewhere in North Carolina, neighboring states and even Canada. It drew 26,000 average worshippers per week in 2022, seventh most among Protestant churches and one behind Saddleback, according to the Outreach 100, an annual survey by Outreach magazine.
