Others

• North American Mission Board: SBC sending agency where incoming Senior Pastor Dr. Lee Merck previously served as Lead Church Planting Catalyst. Provides replanting resources, coaching, and funding pathways directly relevant to Dauphin Way's current strategic pivot.
• Southern Baptist Convention: National SBC denomination that Dauphin Way cooperates with through the Cooperative Program. Drives doctrinal alignment, missions funding, and the broader pipeline of resources/church planters (including NAMB) that Dauphin Way draws from.
• Mobile Baptist Association: The local associational network of Southern Baptist churches in the Mobile area. Functions as a supporting/umbrella body — not a competitor, but materially shapes Dauphin Way's cooperative-program giving and peer-church context.

Direct peers

• First Baptist Church of Mobile: Historic downtown-adjacent Baptist church in Mobile with overlapping Sunday services, Sunday School, and missions programming. A long-tenured SBC peer that competes for the same urban Mobile membership base.
• Cottage Hill Baptist Church: A well-established Mobile, AL Southern Baptist church with a comparable multi-generational ministry footprint and full weekly programming. Competes head-to-head for Mobile-area Baptist families and tithing members.
• Spring Hill Baptist Church: A large Southern Baptist congregation in Mobile, AL offering comparable Sunday worship, Sunday School, children's, and student ministry programming to a similar Mobile-area demographic. Directly competes for the same pool of Baptist-active households.

Regional players

• Trinity Episcopal Church (Mobile): A historic downtown Mobile congregation with comparable weekly worship, formation, and outreach programming. Targets a similar Mobile urban demographic but from an Episcopal (non-Baptist) tradition, so theological overlap is partial.
