NewSpring Church, a South Carolina megachurch with more than 30,000 members, has announced that it has withdrawn from the Southern Baptist Convention due to a disagreement with the denomination over women serving in pastoral leadership roles.
An amendment to the SBC Constitution requires a “supermajority” vote and affirmation at two consecutive annual meetings. The Law Amendment got such a supermajority in 2023, but fell short on second reading in 2024. The motion received more than a simple majority in 2024, but not the required 66%. Hope this helps!
