The church describes itself as "an old-fashioned, independent, fundamental, King James Bible-only, soul-winning Baptist church."[1] Members of the church meet in an office space that is located inside a strip mall.[1][2] Anderson established the church in December 2005 and remains its pastor.
In August 2009, the church received national attention when Anderson stated in a sermon that he was praying for the death of then-president Barack Obama. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) listed Faithful Word Baptist Church as an anti-gay hate group, citing its pastor's "extremely radical stance" that homosexuals should be judged and executed according to the Law of Moses.[3] Its documentary titled Marching to Zion was labeled as antisemitic by the Anti-Defamation League.[4] Its pastor was refused entry to South Africa,[5] Botswana,[6][7] Jamaica, Canada, the United Kingdom,[8][9] the Schengen Area, the Republic of Ireland,[10] Australia,[11] and New Zealand.[12]
