The Baptists, it seems, are a study in individuality. American Baptist Churches is a national body that sets out policies, and local Baptist congregations—like First Baptist Church of Springfield, Oregon—decide for themselves how or whether to follow them. It gets especially interesting around LGBT people and gay marriage. Jeff Savage has pastored his congregation at First Baptist Church of Springfield for 30 years, and through his own venture—Sacred Space Vida—he offers spiritual direction outside of mainstream religion for your unfolding relationship with God.
