I'VE GOT IT IVAN! Your avatar is the key. Don't call your church anything, just put Albert's picture on the sign. Everyone will want to come then.
Bawb Baptist?
Harmony Baptist (oops, sorry, that one is oxymoronic)
Careful with that one. It's the name of the church of one of our PB members!
Or, you could just do what some of the congregations do in my BAPTIST fellowship do. These are just a few of our congregations in the Southwest(actual names!!!) . . .
How about, Bunyan Memorial Baptist Church of Poplar Grove? A little more Baptist than All Souls Immersionist, though that has a nice ring to it as well.

I know. That was the point . . . to tease Randy.
Ahhh...got it!

Ivan, I was serious! Those are just a few of the weird (some of them anyway) names of the BAPTIST churches in my group here in So. Cal. One of them runs 6,000-7,000 weekly and several of the others are congregations large enough to have several full time pastors!
I know you're serious. And I'm serious when I say that my fellow pastor has some really weird and outlandish names. However, he's the only one that likes the names he's coming up with! Club Elect....PLEASE!!

BTW, I liked the Bunyan Memorial idea. Maybe Bunyan Memorial will make people inquire.
How about (and now I'm serious), Christ the Word Baptist Church?
I wonder how Pilgrim's Progress Baptist Church would go over?
There is also a Lutheran Church on the Northside here called Christ the King. I always liked that title. And I like Christ's Church also. But that looks more like an Anglican church's name.
Here is what the name change is to accomplish:
1. Reflect the change of the perspective and goal of the church.*
2. Attempt to overcome the negative outlook of the community toward the church.
3. Look to a new beginning as we build our first building and move to the new location.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet: if you wanted to really stand out you could always use, the almost-unprecedented, Anathema Baptist Church!
or Ichabod Judgmental Hard-Core Baptist Church of the Limited Grace!

It's not a bad idea at all. I think Bunyan would be more palatable to the members. You have the whole Pilgrim's Progress thing.
I know that there are a few (or maybe just one) Truett Memorial and maybe a Carrol Memorial too. I'll have to look it up. I wonder if there is a Criswell Memorial?

uhhh...Memorial sounds like a funeral home...
You could always name it for the street it is on, assuming it is a good named street / ave / etc.

In the same vain as these, how about Miserable Sinners and Worms Baptist Church?
How about (and now I'm serious), Christ the Word Baptist Church?
Dunkard Baptist Church The name explains the method of baptisim, or Reformed Dunkard Church.
