A couple of notes from the article in the Tennessean:

Membership of 6,400, peak attendance of 1,900

3,000 baptisms in 22 years

Interesting math. Their attendance is about a third of their total membership, right in line with what is reported for most SBC churches. Their annual baptisms per year, divided into their average membership, is slightly less than the convention-wide average, but in the same ball park.

This is one of the churches that is high on the approved list for SBC and Lifeway employees in Nashville, and as I understand it, many of their members work at one or the other. Yet, statistically, they fall right along the average line for the whole convention.
