| Who We Are "Mainstream Alabama Baptists" is an
organization of individuals from many different Baptist churches across
the entire state of Alabama. Our organization took the name "Mainstream"
because a review of four hundred years of Baptist history demonstrates
that we advocate principles which have identified almost all Baptists, and
all organizations of Baptists up to the current generation. Likewise, a
review of the past two hundred years of Baptist life in the United States
reveals a willingness by many Baptists to cooperate in evangelism and
missions in spite of differences, a cooperation in the midst of diversity
we advocate. We consider ourselves neither "moderate" nor "conservative"
but traditional, in that our focus is on preserving these
traditional Baptist principles and continuing the tradition of cooperation
in evangelism and missions, in obedience to our Lord’s Great Commission.
Mainstream Alabama Baptists is a not for profit corporation with
offices in Huntsville and Birmingham, supported by charitable gifts from
individuals. MAB is completely independent of any other group or missions
organization, but is in friendly cooperation with a wide range of Baptists
from many different groups. The Alabama organization participates in the
Mainstream Baptist Network, composed of similar organizations in other
states, and shares some of the Network’s goals, but retains its
independence and its own agenda.
