Once in a previous life, I attended a Baptist Congregation not affiliated with SBC. They owned their own building, considered themselves the true followers of the movement stated by Jan Hus and considered the SBC as sell-outs.

Interesting point of view, but eventually the "holier than thou" attitude got to me and I quit going.

Who owns the actual church building under the SBC arrangement? SBC because it signs for the loans? Or the congregation because it makes the payments?

All congregations in the Southern Baptist Church are independents as far as I know.

The congregation own it. I've never heard of SBC trying to foreclose on a church, though in theory they might be able to.

Jan Hus eh? Are you sure they said Baptist and not Anabaptist?
