Assessment

Faith Baptist Church Ankeny is in the Faith Baptist Bible College & Theological Seminary orbit (Ankeny, IA). FBBC sits in the Regular Baptist / GARBC-friendly fundamentalist Baptist tradition — historically NOT KJV-Only and more academically engaged than southern IFB streams. Patriarchal complementarian leadership default. Visit with discernment — likely scores well on translation and exposition.
