Southern Baptist Convention Continues to Exclude Churches with Female Pastors

The Southern Baptist Convention has expelled two churches, including Fern Creek Baptist Church in Louisville, for having a female pastor. The convention decided 20 years ago that only men could serve as pastors, based on its interpretation of the "Baptist Faith and Message" doctrine. Despite the convention's decision, Fern Creek Baptist Church will keep Rev. Linda Barnes Popham as its pastor. The church is now facing a possible expulsion from the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

Southern Baptist Convention maintains strict stance against female pastors and leaders.

The US Southern Baptist Convention has upheld the expulsion of two churches, Saddleback megachurch and Fern Creek Baptist church, due to their having female pastors, in contradiction of the SBC statement of beliefs. The denomination also voted to amend its constitution to enshrine its ban on female pastors. The change will go into effect once it is approved in a second vote next year.

Southern Baptists maintain ban on churches with women pastors.

The Southern Baptist Convention has upheld the ouster of Saddleback Church in Southern California and Fern Creek Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, for having women in lead or senior pastor roles and took steps to enshrine in its constitution a prohibition on female pastors. The SBC changed its doctrinal statement in 2000 to say, “the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.” The decisions made clear that the conservative denomination would kick churches out with women pastors.

Southern Baptists exclude churches with female pastors from denomination.

The Southern Baptist Convention has upheld the ouster of Saddleback Church in Southern California and Fern Creek Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky for having women in lead or senior pastor roles and took steps to enshrine in its constitution a prohibition on female pastors. The SBC changed its doctrinal statement, the Baptist Faith & Message, in 2000 to say, “the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.” But a debate about whether the SBC should enforce that belief statement and how emerged only recently.

Southern Baptist Convention Continues to Exclude Women Pastors

The Southern Baptist Convention has rejected an appeal by Saddleback Church and Fern Creek Baptist Church to be welcomed back into the denomination after being ousted for having women pastors. The convention's statement of faith asserts that only qualified men can serve as pastors. Saddleback had been the denomination's second-largest congregation and until recently was widely touted as a success story amid larger Southern Baptist membership declines. The convention voted to deny the appeals, resulting in the expulsion of the two congregations.
