WARNING!

Assessment

FLAG: BLACK (LGBTQ-AFFIRMING). Broadway Baptist Church was expelled from the Southern Baptist Convention in 2009 and left the Baptist General Convention of Texas in 2010 over its LGBTQ stance. Senior Pastor Ryon Price has explicitly stated his vision for the church to be 'more fully inclusive and affirming of all persons, including women, persons of color, and those in the LGBTQ community.' The church has added an LGBTQ+ section to its library, partners with CBF (Cooperative Baptist Fellowship), and pursues a progressive social justice agenda including feminist theology and anti-patriarchy. This church stands in direct opposition to biblical sexuality, complementarian gender roles, and historic Baptist theology. NOT RECOMMENDED — BLACK rating across gender and cultural categories.
