Jacksonville’s NBC affiliate reports:

If congregants of First Baptist Church in Jacksonville want to remain members, they have to sign a statement vowing to oppose LGBTQ+ freedoms. Senior Pastor Heath Lambert has said such freedoms and the sexual revolution are a threat to First Baptist and he’s giving members until March 23 to sign the statement.

Lambert posted a video message on the church’s website stating, “We know that God created human beings as male and female and he created the institution of marriage between one man and one woman is the only outlet for sexual expression. It’s right that every member agree to such a statement before they join us to receive our care.”
