Conservative Baptist Association (split from the ABC in 1947)

Name change in 2021 to Venture Network - and this is the reason why

Their explanation strikes me as weak. Venture Church Network is vague and conveys nothing at all to me. Gospel Driven Church Network would be slightly less vague.

QUOTE

Venture Church Network came from the idea of advancing in the face of danger. The way we’ll continue to be gospel driven will mean taking risks. Our original name has become an obstacle as culture and language has changed since originally adopted.

“Conservative” is now associated with politics.

“Baptist” can mean a myriad of things.

Venture Church Network allows us to start the conversation, identifying us as a network of churches that’s willing to take bold and courageous steps to further the gospel of Christ, even in times that are challenging and uncertain.
