Featured Name A Church

International Reformed Grace Crossroads Free Will Trinity Bible Community Fellowship Baptist Church

But seriously, I would stick with ((place name)) Baptist Church

 

Good Grief!

If I had absolute authority to choose the name, I'd probably go with a "not-a-name" concept, such as "a church meeting on Oak Street." The sign on the street might just say "A Church Meets Here." To avoid the generic trickery that some use, we might put underneath that certain descriptors:

Baptist
Independent
Pan-Millennial
Missionary
Anti Missionary Auxiliary

 

Yea ... it’s distinctive

 

How bout, the gathering place

 

I've never been part of a church that dropped "Baptist" from its name. The two reasons I've discerned the most when I've seen this done is (1) they ceased being Baptist, or (2) they don't want to advertise (up front) that they are Baptist.

To my suggestion above about using only a descriptor (location-wise) and the word "church," I based that on the idea that the churches of the Lord don't have a "proper name" per se. But "truth-in-advertising" and being upfront would be some reasons for putting identifiers on the sign below. (Though I used a little humor in the identifiers -- such as pan-millennial, because often see IFB signs that say premillennial -- I was actually serious about the concept.

Here's one that sort of does what I am talking about, though they use "Baptist" in the name, put the identifiers on top, and waste letters/space by using "independent" twice.

 

Hmm, "faith and order" what order? infralapsarian or supralapsarian?

Or something else.

You now there is a story behind that sign.
I would love to hear it!

They have one called “Liquid” here in the great state of NJ. Far as I can see, it’s a New Age blend (give the people what they want) creature... google it if curious.
