In honor of “where I came from,” I chose this church, First Baptist Church West Columbia, South Carolina, as my “Church of the Week” by googling the words “southern baptist church traditional.” I’ve never been to this church, but it looks exactly like all the Baptist churches I grew up knowing and loving. The church is 104 years old. They have an organ and a piano. They sing hymns from a Southern Baptist hymnal! They call their Sunday morning Bible study time “Sunday School.” They have RA’s and GA’s and WMU. The pastor sounds like a good old Soouthern preacher, and their other ministers are grown men–except for the youth minister who looks to be about 20-somethng. (All traditional Southern Baptist youth ministers are required to be under 35 years of age.) I didn’t know there were any more SBC churches that still had all these things in place. Ah, nostalgia!
