Do we (MBC) want to be part or partner with the SBC and NAMB? Despite denials by David Platt of MBC’s affiliation with the SBC, it is clear there has been (and may continue to be) a partnership or relationship with the SBC and NAMB. Independent of exploring the relationship of MBC with the SBC and NAMB the following resources may provide insights into whether such partnerships are desirable.
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in 2021 is not the SBC of the generations past. The North American Mission Board (NAMB) is the SBC’s domestic missions agency.
Both the SBC and NAMB have a history of financial scandals and are embroiled in court cases challenging their financial stewardship. There also appear to be serious issues with the theological direction of the SBC and NAMB.
Below is a list of articles that highlight ongoing concerns with both the SBC and NAMB:
