Acts 29 Network Removes Co-founder Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church From Membership

or maybe THE main reason - we as a family are no longer affiliated with a Regular Baptist church (replying to Donn Arms laying out the scenario with “Seems Northwest Regular Baptists are as lacking in discernment as the Acts29 folk).

And it still stings. As I’ve said in other posts, I personally am a product of the local k-12 school that was originally sponsored by a group of GARBC churches, as is our daughter. I had the privilege of working in that gorgeous mansion for a while, and my parents helped seminary students and schoolteachers from the school many times in very practical ways (food, money, other material goods). I don’t bother updating my dad on goings-on anymore as he is sure I have it all mixed up, that people he respects cannot possibly be involved in letting the institutions go a completely different direction. I wasn’t aware of the direct connection until last week, but it explains why when I go to events at our “old” church, if MH comes up and I say anything, I am looked at as though I have three heads and just broke out in purple spots.

I contacted GRACE and just got back a note from the leader noting they haven’t had a relationship for years, but they’d never eliminated that from the website. Check it out. (not to brag, but he blames me!)

Christy, if you’re saying that GARBC churches in the area are still quite enamored with Driscoll and Mars Hill, I’m thinking they may have just given you and your husband an opening to say “hey folks, you need to watch out for what’s really going on here.” As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’ve collected the data about a popular mega-church pastor and presented it to my pastor, who was using his work. Suffice it to say that when you remember Deming—“In God we Trust, all others must provide data”—things can happen with all but the most ossified in their opinions.
