How is the church growing? Do you have more than anecdotal evidence?
There is no “Baptist Church”, there are Baptist churches, all independent and antonymous except for the Southern Baptist. The Southern Baptist organization has began to take on a certain pontifical air, which has turn off most Baptist, thus the decline in their dominance. As for the growth in the independent Baptist church … just look around in your area at the number of Baptist churches being built. If it is not happening in your area, it is happening in others.
