Mission Statement
Uniting and strengthening CRBA Churches to be on mission in building the Kingdom of Christ in the community and beyond.
Vision Statement
We envision the CRBA to be a group of churches working together in unity and love to build the Kingdom of God in our region and beyond. The churches will so manifest the love of Christ that the people outside each church will be drawn to the Savior and want to know the One who is behind this love.
Each of our churches will be focusing on sharing the Gospel message on a regular basis in our region and wherever the Lord may send the members of those churches. CRBA will provide opportunities for those churches to work together in this area of evangelism.
CRBA envisions being able to lead our members to become more dedicated disciples of Jesus who will be making disciples of those who are coming to know Jesus as their Savior. Each of these new converts will be taught how they too can make disciples of others.
CRBA churches will be praying churches that are impacting their world through prayer. This commitment to prayer permeates who they are as the body of Christ and establishes deep relationships with the Father that allows Him to use us to touch the entire world. It allows the power of God to be unleashed so that He accomplishes His mighty work here and to the ends of the earth.
CRBA churches are on mission with God, doing work in many areas of the world. Because of this work, God is adding to His church daily those who are being saved. This is happening both in our own churches and in those places where we are working to build His Kingdom around the world.
CRBA churches envision working together in a way that will encourage and strengthen each other. We are giving wise counsel and loving encouragement to each other in such a way that we are advancing the Kingdom of God to the greatest degree possible until Jesus comes.

SECTION 1. Composition. The Association shall be composed of regularly constituted Baptist Churches in Burke County and surrounding areas which have applied for and received membership (hereafter, the “Members”) as its members.
SECTION 2. Admission. The Association may receive or reject Baptist Churches applying for membership at its discretion. All churches which are admitted into membership shall first be admitted under watch-care membership. Such members shall be under the watch-care of the Association for a period of one year.

The church has become unbiblical in doctrine or in practice.
The church has failed to represent itself, either by messengers or by letter at two consecutive Annual Meetings of Members, without good cause.
The church ceases to be missionary in practice. A church shall be deemed to have ceased to be missionary in practice if it shall fail to support the causes fostered by the denomination at large or by this Association in particular.

Rev. Eddy Bunton presented the WPCC Campus Ministry. He was accompanied by 2 young men Nathan Smith and Tyler. Tyler gave his testimony. He was a drug addict in 2007. He overdosed in November.

His aunt and uncle are Tricia and Brian Cox of East Valdese. He is in Students for Christ (Eddy Bunton) He feels that they encourage him in Christ. The way you make disciples is to encourage them so that they can go out and make disciples. Nathan served as a missionary to Canada.

Rev. Dr. Steve Parker gave the message:
II Chronicles 7:14 Prayer is the power, but action is the key.
Rev. 2: 1-7 – The Sin of Losing Our First Love
Why Do We Need Revival? Because we have lost our first love for Him. Authority of the church-vs 1 authority of the messenger and the ministry. Attributes of the church vs 2-6-It is a dynamic church (I know thy works). It is a dedicated church (I know thy works, thy labor and thy patience.) It is a discerning church ( can not bear them which are evil). Vs. 3 It was a determined church. (hast not fainted) It is a disciplined church. Vs 6 OThou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans.) BUSY-being under Satan’s Yoke!
Alarming failure of the church: They had left their first love.
Absolute remedy for the church-Remember therefore from whence they come and repent and do the first works , Remember, vs 5 Repent vs 5, Repeat, vs 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

Mission Team Report: Romans 12:1-2 Dr. Kevin Purcell shared the team’s vision for Burke County.He was inspired by his youth group’s trip to New York when they said, “Why can’t we do this in Burke County?” not to think of himself more highly than he should There is no competition between churches because we are all one church. If you need to reach people in your community, let the Missions Team know, and they can help.
Told story about Chris, a young man during their mission trip to New York. He came to their meeting and was befriended by Dalton, a reserved young man and eventually led him to the Lord. Their youth group worked with Victory Chapel Baptist Church where they met Chris. Another story: Felix was a lifeguard in Valdese. They were doing beach evangelism, and Felix’ younger brother heard a cry for help from the water (no swimming) Saved Martin who was drowning and Felix led him to the Lord! This has changed High Peak Baptist Church and energized the youth!
Dr. Purcell interviewed Michael Purcell, a student at Southeastern Theological and summer intern in New York. Michael worked with Deaf For Jesus Baptist Church and Rev & Mrs. Henry Deller for two weeks. Michael has creditials in Microsoft Office so he taught the Dellers how to better use their computer and spent time doing Bible Studies with him. He also taught the children of the church. He helped rebuild their sound system.
Michael then went to Crossroads Church of Long Island serving with Pastor Sterling Edwards. Much of his two weeks there was serving with the janitorial staff.
The last weeks of the summer internship were spent with Victory Chapel Church working with Pastor Dan Haughey. After prayer time, they often would go into downtown Belport and hand out tracts. He also spent time doing Bible Studies in nursing homes and even in a beauty salon! Michael was able to ministered to shut-ins and He preached twice.
Working with the Deaf Church fulfilled him most. It helped him to change his major from Counseling to Ministry to the Deaf. He liked the janitor’s work the least! But he did not feel like that was a waste of time because he was working in the background and took care of someone on the front line. This is a growing experience to be a ministry intern. Evil is more obvious in New York because we live in the Bible Belt. God calls us to be the children of light. It makes him grateful to the association for providing this opportunity. He thanks everyone for this opportunity to represent North Carolina and the Lord!
The Message was given by Dr. Danny Akin President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife Charlotte have 4 sons with 3 daughters-in-law, 9 grandchildren and one on the way. Dr. Akin is passionate for the Great Commission resurgence, has traveled to many countries, and leads the 4th largest seminary in the world, SEBTS has 2500 enrolled in the seminary. Dr. Akin is very concerned about revitalizing and planting churches. He pointed out that there are 45,000 Southern Baptist churches, with 4,000 of them being in North Carolina. An area like New York has over 20 million people with only a little over 200 Southern Baptist Churches. This comparison shows the great need for all of us to be involved in church planting.

Director of Missions: message – the churches were encouraged to continue to pray toward Revival. We urgently need to pray and ask God to revealed the sins of the church so that we can experience Revival and God can do His work among us. We need to begin to focus on reaching people who will never even consider attending one of our traditional churches. We will need to begin finding place that we can begin new group outside of our traditional churches by renting trailers or apartments or using homes to have “house churches”. It is time to think outside the box for fresh ideas on connecting with lost people all around us.
A plaque presented to Mr. Jerry Stephens for his 2 years of service to the Association as Moderator.
The meeting was adjourned with prayer.

Director of Missions Report
We find ourselves at a critical time in the life of our churches and in the life of our nation. I believe that 2013 will be an important year for us and so I want to encourage you to join together as an association of churches to work together toward a number of things that can make an impact upon our churches and can ultimately impact our nation.
I believe 2013 is a time that we need to focus on prayer for revival. With so many of our churches either on a plateau or declining in our numbers, we need to confess our lack of emphasis on evangelism and discipleship so that we can be effective in winning people to Jesus as Lord and Savior. We are not seeing lives changed and transformed and it is because we are not allowing the Lord to use us as His hands, His feet and His voice to share His love and His gospel. We are not giving what it takes to touch the world around us. It is time for us to pray and confess before the Lord and commit to being obedient to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. We need revival in our commitment to love the Lord with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our minds and with all our strength. When we start doing this, then we will see revival and we will see a difference in our churches. Therefore, I am asking you today as ministers and as lay people to make a commitment right here tonight. I want to ask you to commit yourself to going back to your church and commit yourself as Pastor, staff member or lay person to leading your church to pray diligently for revival for the remainder of this year or until it comes in full force in your church. Would you be willing to do that tonight?
We need to pray until we see God changing us and bringing us to doing what He has called us to do. We need to pray until sharing the Gospel becomes an essential part of our lives. We need to pray until we want to do missions work both in our communities and around the world. We need to pray until God begins to impact our communities and people start turning to Christ in large number. We need to pray until we see a great Spiritual renewal in our land and the bars, drug houses and sex shops are closing down because there are so many people getting saved.
Catawba River Baptists, God wants to do that in our midst, but He is waiting on us to get serious with Him. He is waiting to see us on our knees crying out with a passion for our lost friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers. He is waiting to see us commit to do whatever it takes to share our faith with the world around us. He is waiting for us to get the world out of our lives as the Church and to focus on His business instead of our own desires and pleasures in being His Church in this world.
A part of seeing this happen will be a focus on 20/20 Vision: Focusing on the Great Commission; committing to a plan of evangelism for your Church to focus on. Whether it is door-to-door evangelism or planning events or building relationships, having some plan is essential if you are going to really do evangelism. Another possibility is a plan that we want to emphasize this year. “My Hope” with Billy Graham is an emphasis you can use. You will see a video clip on this tonight, but I would also encourage you to go to and take a look at what this has to offer your church or you as an individual. Lay person, go work with your pastor and help him make this an emphasis in your church. I believe this can make a tremendous impact on you and your church together with the lost people that you personally know.
Another area of concern that I believe must come to our attention is the area of discipleship. Jesus told us in the Great Commission to go and make disciples, baptizing them and then teaching them to observe all that we have been taught. One reason that most of our churches are in decline is that we are not making disciples. We have stopped with the commandment to baptize them. Outside our most faithful leaders in the church, most of our members are not serving as disciples and they are certainly not helping others become disciples. That is why we find ourselves doing 90% of the work and it is also why we are not winning people to Christ the way we ought to be doing it.
I believe that this has to change in our churches if we are going to see God move in the way that He wants to move to transform the lives of people all around us. You and I have to learn how to be stronger disciples who will be discipling others we win to Christ. Thus, we will begin to multiply ourselves so that we will see the Great Commission become reality. There are processes that we can put into place today that can lead us in each of our churches to create a culture of discipleship. By doing that all our members will know that they have to do more than just attend worship on Sunday morning. They will come to know that each of us has a responsibility in building the Kingdom of God and in helping others make Jesus Lord of their lives. I want to ask you to work with your Pastor and commit to making this a priority in your life. I stand ready to work with any of you on this and will help any church that wants to become serious about this plan that God has laid out for us. I believe we have the tools that can be used to help us be all that God wants us to be in our day. God desires us to make the difference in our churches so that we can make an impact on people to reach them for Christ. It can be done; we just have to be willing to do it. Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to give what it will take? Jesus told us that we have to count the cost in Luke 14:25-33. Would you be willing to turn to that Scripture and read it and then pray, “Yes, Lord I will renounce it all to be your disciple”, right now?

Mission Team
The Missions Team of the CRBA wants to help the churches of our area fulfill our God-given mission, to reach our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Ends of the Earth! We've focused much of our attention on the partnership that we entered into over a year ago. The people of New York need Jesus, but few of them are engaged with the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In the past year many churches went to Long Island to help work and support the work of the churches. This year we want to see that number increase. Our goal is to see every church take part in our New York Partnership by doing one of three things.
1) Going: plan to send some people from your church to Long Island.
2) Giving: many teams will go and some will want to go but can't due to financial limitations. Maybe your church won't set foot on Long Island but your resources can help those who go. Consider sponsoring a short-term missionary that will go. Or sponsor one of our mission interns. More on that in a bit.
3) Pray: the best thing you can do is pray. We'll do that in our meeting today, but commit to make praying for the New York churches a long-term affair. Maybe you want to adopt one of the churches on Long Island as a prayer partner. Contact me and I'll put you in touch with one that your church can pray for as a group.
Speaking of Summer Mission Interns. Our association voted to send up to five summer mission interns for 6-8 weeks. Each intern will get at least $500 from the Association as seed money. But they will need more to pay for transportation, expenses while in New York, and other personal needs. Maybe your church would like to send one of these interns by sponsoring them, taking up a love offering or sponsoring a fund raiser. Also, please get the word out to young adults in your church. The requirements include being a member of a CRBA church, a willingness to report to sponsor churches during and after their internship in the form of a report, a presentation, video, letters etc., and finally a willingness to advise future interns for next year.
If your church wants to send a team to Long Island, we have a list of projects to complete. A vision team just recently returned from Long Island after visiting the following:
1. Crossroads Church of Long Island and Pastor Sterling Edwards
2. North Shore Baptist Church and Pastor Jason Jasper.
3. Trinity Baptist Church and Pastor Kurt Wesolowski.
4. Ecclesia Baptist Church and Pastor John Zizolfo
5. Victory Baptist Chapel and Pastor Dan Haughey
6. Baptist Disaster Relief with Bro. Tom Vannoy leading the efforts
All six of these need your help. You can do construction, renovations, outreach and evangelism, work with kids or youth and more. We will hand out our list of 12 projects ready for you to get involved. We hope that at least 12 churches will take the challenge and meet these specific needs this year.

Love and Joy
Toy Store 2012
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. I John 4:7
God has shown His love for us in so many ways and it was evident in the spirit of joy which prevailed over Toy Store 2012. We rejoice that the Toy Store served 418 families and 926 children! This mission/ministry led 40 to Christ and one who reminded us that they accepted Christ as their Savior from a previous Toy Store! This effort encompassed the work of over 100 volunteers and 30 counselors! His Love endures forever!
For the second year, we held preregistration in September and October. This face-to-face registration process allows for more personal contact with the families and has proved valuable to the preparation of Toy Store! Thank you East Valdese Baptist and El Bethel Baptist Churches for allowing us to use your facilities as registration sites!
The dates for registration for Toy Store 2013 are:
September 30 thru October 1, 2013 12:00- 8:00 pm at East Valdese
October 7 thru October 8, 2013 12:00- 8:00 pm at El Bethel
October 9 2013 10:00-2:00 pm at El Bethel
A flyer will be distributed to all associational churches, all Burke County elementary schools, as well as local service agencies with the information about registration in August. Please help us spread the word. His Love endures forever!
We are thankful for the team leaders who helped make this mission possible. The team works behind the scenes throughout the year to make the Toy Store a success. We are very excited about Toy Store 2013, December 9-12, 2013 at Calvary Baptist Church! The Toy Store requires the support of our churches and volunteers and we would like to solicit your help. You don’t have to wait until December to show your support! Here are some ways your church could assist now:
✓ Consider donating left-over VBS crafts as stocking stuffers.
✓ Have a birthday party for Jesus in July and donate the toys to the store.
✓ Sign up to provide snacks/meals for the volunteers during the week of Toy Store.
✓ Have your mission classes to collect coins all year to donate.
✓ Send pamphlets and literature from your church for distribution to the parents.
Janet and Sally would welcome the opportunity to discuss with you ways to support the Toy Store. You may contact them through the Resource Office (828-437-0137) or call directly (Janet at 828-433-1300 or Sally at 828-584-1594). His Love endures forever!
With joyful hearts,
Sally Dixon and Janet McDaniel

The Catawba River WMU had an associational International Mission Study on November 20th at East Valdese Baptist Church. The study was on Beijing, China. We had separate studies for Mission Friends, Children (RA’s and GA’s), Acteens and adults. We served a meal of different Chinese dishes. There were 78 people in attendance.
Thanks to all the WMUs from the Catawba River churches who donate toothbrushes for the North Carolina WMU prison ministry (Red Boxes). Martha Heavner was able to deliver 500 toothbrushes from our association.
On April 23rd, the Catawba River WMU will have a WMU Celebration at the Associational Office. We will begin with a salad supper at 6:15 ($5), and the program will start at 7:00. The speaker, Janice Bryant, a board certified nurse practitioner and also a pastor’s wife, will talk about God’s Plan for Healthy Eating. This involves research from the scripture and from the medical field. Mrs. Bryant will share how God provided food that will help us live healthier lives. Please call the associational office (437-0137) with the number attending by April 17th .

CHURCH DEVELOPMENT TEAM SUNDAY SCHOOL
Among our churches, the Great Commission is a subject frequently preached, taught, and discussed! Amen! Visit many churches and you will see evidence on display for sharing vision, information, and highlighting efforts people are making to accomplish its goals. Amen, again!! Obeying the Great Commission is of course at the heart of every church AND Sunday School that desires to fulfill the plan of God for bringing people to Himself. Go into all the world...preach the Gospel...baptize believers...make disciples...teach the Word! The godly directive is featured five times in scripture with certainty, clarity, and impact. But what does it mean to be a church truly devoted to fulfilling the Great Commission?
1. Organize and Prioritize
In a blog post at dated August 2009, Pastor Al Gilbert summarizes...each church must develop and maintain a "multiplying mindset." He says, "it's not how many people we can SEAT, but how many we can SEND." Do you agree? The mission mindset of every church must stretch and move, intentionally caring about people beyond the barriers, where the Gospel is NOT. Is your Sunday School preparing people with training, motivation, and commitment TO BE SENT?
2. Transformation over Expectation
NCBSC Sunday School Senior Consultant Phil Stone writes, "if Bible study doesn't transform lives, than it is nothing more than sharing content. In Romans 12:2, we are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds...living our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God." Since that is scriptural truth, then meeting man's ideals for the church are secondary to meeting God's. Are Sunday School classes in your church equipping believers to share their faith and make disciples, or something else?
Our CRBA Sunday School Team supports congregations by informing churches of upcoming SS events, offering local training, and providing resources to ministry leaders and learners. Thank you to everyone who participated in our training opportunities this past year. We are always interested in involving more churches and more people in our workshops and seminars. We anticipate several opportunities this fall and in the year ahead to impact Sunday Schools for reaching and teaching. Please help us in serving our association by sharing your ideas for SS training and better equipping believers to fulfill the Great Commission. Thank you for serving in your local church through this wonderful ministry, and for the privilege you've allowed me in serving in our fine Association.
For Christ's Kingdom and for His Glory,
Rev. Thom Hartman
Men’s Ministry
As the CRBA hears the call to Revival and Fresh Awakening, we hear the words of the Prophet Joel to Judah in Joel 2:15: " Blow a trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly". Great Revivals and Awakenings have always been preceded by fervent Prayer and precipitated by sincere Repentance. As we humble ourselves and seek His face, we Pray that the men and boys of CRBA will be faithful Prayer Warriors. Annointed and praying men are a powerful force in the Kingdom of God. We Pray, Lord Jesus, that you will send Revival and Fresh Awakening to our area, to all of North Carolina, and to our Nation.
Attention to all those ( Pastors, Men and Boy's Ministry Leaders, missions volunteers ) who have an interest in the ministries and missions of North Carolina Baptist Men ( Ladies too ). Mark Abernathy, North Carolina Baptist Men's Consultant for Men's Ministry and Partnerships, will be our guest speaker on Thursday, May 9, 2013 from 6:30-8:30 pm at the CRBA office. A dinner meal will be served. Please make your reservations through the CRBA office. Mark is one of our most experienced state leaders and has traveled extensively around the world and the US while coordinating Baptist Men Projects. This will be an informative meeting for new or established men's or boy's ministries and for anyone interested in ministry or missions opportunities.
Many thanks to Richard Brunson, The Executive Director of North Carolina Baptist Men, for sponsoring and speaking at the November 29, 2012 CRBA Pastors and Wives Christmas Banquet at the Morganton Community House. Robert Stroup, the Western Vice President of North Carolina Baptist Men, was also in attendance. The evening was one of delicious food, good fellowship, and timely information about Baptist Men's ministries. Thanks to Art Mosely for the accommodations and fine meal and to our own Marty Bess for the beautiful piano renditions of some of our favorite Christmas songs. We thank Judy George for the attractive table decorations. Fifty Three persons were treated to an evening in honor of our CRBA Pastors.
The annual RA Racers event was held on March 2, 2013 at Oak Ridge Baptist Church. Forty two racers were entered from six Churches: East Valdese (6), Enon (6), Oak Ridge (12), United (10), Wilkes Grove (1), and Zion (7). The winners will be entered in the NC RA Racer Day at First Baptist Salisbury, NC on March 23, 2013. Thanks to Phillip Heavner for organizing this event and many others and training our CRBA RA leaders so effectively. Thanks to those active and faithful RA groups in our Churches. For those Churches that use AWANA, we encourage you to include as much missions learning as you can in your AWANA activities.

Campus of W.P.C.C.
For all practical purposes, this is a “State of the Campus” address. Let me tell you, it could not be better. I am privileged to walk on that campus, talk with students or meet a new person each week and I thank the Lord! We have an amazing partnership together on that campus. Your partnership as Catawba River Baptists is longer than mine, but my four years has been a blessing.
Since last year, you have had a part in discipleship for many college students. One of them has served in another country as your missionary and has recently accepted a call to serve as campus missionary in Florida next year. Can you believe that, your ministry will spread over another campus three states away? Western Piedmont’s first yearlong missionary! You will also experience the influence of students who are leading worship at their local church, and students who are accepting the role as student pastors with youth and children.
In addition to these local ministries, we had 24 students assist with Operation Christmas Child at Samaritan’s Purse in Boone, and Four who attended the Passion 2013 conference in Atlanta. The bottom line is this…Christ’s message is being preached and lived out on that campus. Thank you for your part in the ministry on Western Piedmont’s Campus. If you have students looking for a place to connect and live out their faith on campus please contact me at ebunton@ or call me at 828-443-1047. I would be happy to speak to your students or help your church pursue ministry to college students.
Shining His Light!

Associational Reports
Director of Missions Report
God is at work in marvelous ways among Catawba River Baptists and I want to praise His name for what I am hearing from our churches and ministries. I am hearing reports of baptisms and added members and that is great. I am hearing reports of partnerships being made between our churches and the churches of Long Island. Our ministry at WPCC is going well with God working through students to lead them to commit to being disciples of Jesus. These students are committing to serve Him through trying to impact the lives of other students who do not know Christ. I am hearing reports of some of our churches reaching out into the community to try to begin Bible Study groups or church starts among people who will not come to a traditional church. It is important that we understand tonight that God is at work and the way that He works is not always the way that we expect.
Our theme for this meeting is Continue Toward Revival. Last spring we talked about our need to pray toward revival and it is so important to pray to God and ask Him to send revival to us. However, I also believe that it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves and our churches for the revival that God wants to send. He is waiting for us to respond to what He has called us to do. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God tells us that we must humble ourselves and pray and seek His face. Then, we must turn from our wicked ways and repent, correcting those ways that we have left undone or correcting those ways where we have done things that are not pleasing to God.
I can quickly point out two areas where we have failed to follow God’s teaching in our churches. One is the area of marriage. We do not uphold God’s standard of one man and one woman for life. We fail to teach our children how to select a mate according to God’s will and instead allow them to follow their culture that says you fall in love. That is not biblical and we can do something about it. I challenge any of you to invite me to come and have a seminar on marriage and let me fully address these issues in your church. We readily accept divorce in our churches today. Divorce is not the unpardonable sin, but I believe that if we follow God’s way it can be avoided. We need to teach God’s way for marriage and we need to begin now until His way becomes our way in the churches.
I also believe that we do not follow God’s way in the area of stewardship. The Bible teaches that we should give the first fruits and then we should practice good stewardship with the other 90 % of what we have. How far do we fall short of this when we only give a small amount on Sunday morning and think the rest is for us to use in the way that we want.
Then I want us to see that we fall short in the area of evangelism. Our 20/20 Vision Plan to focus on the Great Commission and reach every household is still important to us. The “My Hope America” with Billy Graham campaign is almost here. Have you been praying for your list of neighbors, friends, relatives and work colleagues that are lost without Christ? Have you made plans to show the DVD or have these lost people together when the TV program is broadcast? If not, it is not too late to make your plans.
I want to share with you something that our Mission Team is beginning to share with our pastors. We have come to feel that we need to promote the start of Bible Study groups and preaching groups in places that are outside our traditional churches. It has been stated that only 35% of the lost population in America will even consider going to any traditional church. If that is true, then we have got to begin doing some things differently. We still have the responsibility of reaching those people. If they won’t come to us, then we need to go to them. One example of this is what Burkemont is doing in one of their trailer parks near their church. They have rented a trailer there so that the residents will have a worship service to attend. The people are coming and they are saying, “This is our church”. That is where they feel comfortable. That is an example of what we need to do more of in order to reach people. Our Missions Team represented by Brother Kevin Purcell and myself is beginning to meet with our pastors in small group by community to explore ideas of how we can implement this strategy. I hope you will explore this with us and think seriously about this need. Think about how many people that you have invited to church that just won’t come and I believe you will see that this percentage given is about right. We can’t stop asking people to come to church because 35% might be willing to consider coming. We can’t stop trying to reach people to see them saved and become a part of our churches. But, it should not be one or the other. It is time to try both. And think of the numbers of retired pastors or pastors without churches that could help us with this approach. Think of the young preacher boys who are in school and the lay preachers who could be involved in leading such groups.
Another exciting thing that God is doing among us is that we now have an opportunity to reach out to some Nepali people that God has placed here in Morganton. In partnership with the BSCNC and two Charlotte church planters who are Nepali, these church planters have come to Morganton and have won several to Christ. They are having a Bible Study group now and are seeking to win all of the members of the 7 families that are here to Christ so that a Nepali congregation can be developed.
God is sending us many opportunities for service. I believe He is working in our midst and that He is calling us to do some different things in our time. The question is will we be His obedient servants? Will we allow revival to come to us? You see revival is about repentance and obedience after we have heard from God. It is about turning from our own ways and desires and letting God lead wherever that may take us.

Phil Oakley

Missions Team Report
The Catawba River Baptist Association Mission Team kicked off a busy year with plans to kickstart our mission partnership with the churches of the Long Island area of New York. We prayed and sought the Lord and believe that he gave us a vision for some ways to really reach the people of Long Island as we support the half a dozen churches associated with the Metro New York Baptist Association, our sister Association in the area.
In 2012 a number of people went on mission to New York so we chose to celebrate that at a dinner held at our resource center. Dozens of people attended and heard about the work of New York and we thanked them for getting the partnership going. Others present felt inspired to go and, as a result, a number of people went to New York, catching the vision at this dinner.
In March, a group of pastors and church leaders took a trip to New York, staying with the wonderful pastor of the Deaf for Jesus church. Henry and Nancy Jo Deller loved on us as we toured the various churches to learn about the work needed on Long Island. We met with six pastors and visited each of their churches. As a result, at least three CRBA churches took trips to New York this year and a couple more will go next year.
Speaking of churches going, we saw a record number of churches taking a trip to New York and one to New Jersey this year. More trips will take place next year. The following results were documented:
• churches renovated
• VBS performed
• parsonage work done
• mission teams were supported from other areas by our summer mission intern
• gospel tracts and Bibles were distributed
• food was passed out
• people were prayed for
• the Gospel was shared
• at least half a dozen souls saved
• one man’s life was saved from drowning literally
• our churches were changed
• youth were exposed to ministry and missions
• lives were changed forever
• people felt a call to full-time Christian ministry
We could likely add more to the list above.
One big part of our ministry included an intern missionary from our area. Michael Purcell, a student at Southeastern Seminary’s College spent the summer working with three churches - Deaf for Jesus, Crossroads and Victory Chapel. He will share his experiences at this year’s annual meeting. We hope to send two more to New York next summer. The application for this can be found on our website at .
Going forward, we plan to hold another celebration dinner, send two more missionaries, and support more ministry to the people and churches of Long Island.
What about missions in Burke County? Our churches plan to do a lot and we will support WMU and Baptist Men’s ministry. However, we also hope to reach our people by starting new work in Burke County.
A recent study of non-churched people found that only about a third of them will ever come to our churches for many reasons. We seem out of touch, we’re too formal, people don’t feel welcome, they have negative impressions of the church and many more. What do we do to overcome this?
We are beginning to work with pastors and churches in the Valdese area to reach people like these. This might mean house “churches” or Bible studies in homes, coffee shops or other public meeting areas. We may never call pastors to lead these groups or buy buildings. We see them as small communities of people worshipping Christ, discipling one another and teaching them to make disciples. We need lay people who love Jesus, the lost and making disciples. Do you want to get involved? Please contact our Director of Missions or me.

Seminary Extension Report
During the Spring semester we studied systematic theology, and the students did well. We had a good time together.
For the Fall semester of 2013, there will be no classes, and we’ll resume in the Spring of 2014.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN BAPTIST CAMP
2013 REPORT TO THE ASSOCIATION
Psalms 66:5,16 exhorts us to “Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man’s behalf! Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.” In obedience to the instruction of scripture, we at South Mountain Baptist Camp wish to declare the marvelous works of our Lord. His faithfulness in meeting the needs of this ministry and those that benefit from it is awesome.
For well over 50 years, God has been touching the lives of individuals that today serve as missionaries, pastors, staff persons, denominational leaders, deacons, SS teachers throughout the globe! When I step back to take stock of all that is happening here, I am reminded of what God’s people can do when they work together. No single individual or church could ever do this alone. But when we cooperate with one another, God works through us to change the eternities of many. What a blessing it is to be in the path of His activity and to be a vessel through which He can display His glory!
The summer of 2013 was my eighteenth since returning to SMBC as director and though I’ve witnessed it week after week, summer after summer, the activity of God never gets old or common. Once again God’s Spirit called and campers responded. Our theme this summer was “One Shining Moment” and our theme verses were found in Philippians 2:14-16a where we read, "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life." Our focus throughout the weeks was to help campers to surrender their lives to Christ so that they might discover God’s purpose and plan for their lives. For nine weeks we taught, worshipped, played, and witnessed with 1692 campers and counselors as we witnessed 170 trust Christ for their salvation. Among the many other spiritual decisions that were made, eleven campers indicated that they sensed God’s call to ministry/missions. Perhaps only in eternity will we get a sense of the true impact of this summer’s efforts.
At SMBC, we recognize our place in Kingdom ministry as that of a support to the local church. It is our desire that churches view SMBC as their camp and our staff as an extension of their staff. Our facilities are available year round as a resource to assist churches in encouraging, planning, and equipping the adults, teens, and children in their congregations. Our staff is equipped and ready to help by providing programming and leadership for Couples, Ladies, and Men’s retreats. We have also set aside a cottage on our campus for ministers who need some time away for prayer, planning, and relaxation. During this past year, we have been privileged to partner with groups of various ages and ethnicity that they might be able to experience God on this mountain.
We continue to work to make improvements to our facilities and resources. Our major focus at this time is the completion of the addition to our Caretaker’s home. Needed funds to purchase materials for this expansion have been received. Now all we need is the volunteer labor to make it a reality!
We are grateful for the relationships we have with the churches of this association and welcome the opportunity to get to know more of you as we serve our Lord together. Maybe you’re looking for a camp experience for your young people that is focused on making an eternal difference in their lives. Maybe you are looking for some low cost alternatives to assist you in equipping/discipling your church family. Or perhaps you’ve been blessed financially or with talents that you desire to invest in making a difference in the lives of young people. Whatever the reason, we would welcome the opportunity to serve you as you serve the Lord!
Should you desire more information or have any questions, please contact me and I will supply you with what you request. I will be glad to come at your convenience to share more about the ministry and the opportunities that exist for us to work together for the glory of God. It is a privilege to serve our Lord alongside you, advancing His kingdom until He comes!

Sunday School Report Church Development Team
Evaluate. Assess. Review. Appraise. Reflect. Imagine. Envision. Pray. Prepare. Equip. Believe. Accomplish. How many churches, pastors, and leaders in Bible study identify with the progression of these words in the context of Sunday School? As the church struggles to adapt to the changing values, culture, and demographics in American society, these words have become part of our Sunday School vocabulary. If we are not hearing these ideas in conversation as we organize for Bible Study and engage people with the Gospel, be prepared to accept more of the same results produced last year, five years ago, or ten years ago in Sunday School growth and development. Churches that transform plateau and decline into steady growth have embraced a Bible study/disciple-making strategy that grapples with these realities, relies on tested principles, prepares the team, entrusts its leaders...and succeeds! If the church is to grow, the Sunday School must GO!
Our CRBA Sunday School Team is committed to helping churches succeed in the 'Bible teaching and people-reaching' department. As 2014 nears, we are blessed to welcome a new leader to the top of the Association SS Team. He will be a great resource to help guide our churches, pastors, and Sunday School leaders. His name is Justin Smith, Education and Discipleship Pastor at East Valdese Baptist Church. Justin has a passion for training and discipling SS leaders and seeing people mature in their relationship with Christ. He is currently in his first year of ministry with East Valdese and already the Lord is providing much fruit. Justin studied business in Charlotte where he earned his undergraduate degree at UNCC, and then received his master's degree in Biblical Studies from Southern Evangelical Seminary. He is currently advancing toward his Doctorate as a candidate at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in the field of Christian Education. While working tirelessly on his dissertation and education ministry, he is also husband to his bride Jen - a stay-at- home-mom, and father to his young children Nate (3 years old) and Joanna (1 year old). His plate is certainly full! We share a warm welcome with Justin and commit our prayers to him, his family, and his ministry, especially with the CRBA!
I am grateful for the opportunities of service that I have enjoyed as a member of the Church Development and Administrative Teams. The Lord has provided many victories and I have been privileged to have shared in many celebrations over the years with the Association. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Reverend Phil Oakley who has blessed my life and ministry in countless ways. I am grateful to be staying active on the Sunday School Team as I move into the leadership position in Outreach. My thanks also goes to Reverend Brian Skeggs, who served with dedication and distinction in this position in past years, Thanks to each of you for allowing me to serve.
We look forward to the announcement of future plans in the Sunday School ministry of the CRBA. May God continue to bless His work here!
With Kind Regards,
Reverend Thomas C. Hartman
Toy Store ‘13
CRBA Toy Store: Year Nineteen!
“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9
Five days or 36 hours of Registration at both East Valdese Baptist and El Bethel Baptist gave us the opportunity to tell 365 parents of God’s faithfulness for 18 years and our dependence upon Him again to provide their 760 children with toys and stuffed stockings December 9th—12th. These parents told us of their struggles and their gratitude to the association for showing them and their children love and kindness. Forty-five (45) percent of these 365 families are being served for the first time.
The future of The Toy Store is unsure as we prepare for the 2013 ministry/mission at Calvary Baptist Church. Over the past few years the support by our association churches has waned considerably. Reasons for this vary. The fact remains that again this year we who coordinate, plan, and execute The Toy Store are depending on the faithfulness of God as He works through His Church.
We invite you and your churches to become a part of 2013 Toy Store. Below is a list of the many ways you can participate.
• Pray we can serve the needy families of Burke County as God desires and we can tell them about and show them the Love of Christ.
• Purchase toys ($15 value) for children from birth to 12 years of age. (Toys can be brought to Calvary 11/18—12/6.)
• Donate money that can be used to purchase toys when they go on sale at local stores.
• Donate toothbrushes, toothpaste, and small toys for the stockings. Also, donate individually wrapped candies. These need to be dropped off at the resource center no later than Nov. 22.
• Volunteer to go shopping for toys, to set up Toy Store at Calvary on December 5th and 6th, to assist parents with “shopping” December 9th—12th, and to clean up the evening of December 12th.
• Volunteer to provide spiritual counseling to parents December 9th—12th.
• Provide translation for Spanish speaking parents Tuesday, 12/10, and Thursday, 12/12.
Please contact us at 437-0137 if you are able to assist The Toy Store in any way. We look forward to experiencing God’s blessings and faithfulness as we share Christ with needy families who live in our neighborhoods December 9th—12th at Calvary Baptist Church. Thank you!
Vacation Bible School
This year’s Colossal Coaster Vacation Bible School was a hit with all churches involved. It traveled to seven different churches, which six churches located in Catawba Valley Baptist Association and one church in Rutherford County. The Colossal Coaster traveled between the churches and logged over 175 miles and 25 nights of use, picking up riders along the way for Christ. As the Colossal Coaster traveled it grew in size with each church adding to it, making it one of the biggest VBS’s in recent years .

Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina
2012 Report: July 2012 - June 2013
Tabitha Reflects God’s Love
“God has given me a gift to help others. I want to be a missionary, and I feel like that is a reachable goal because of the hope and encouragement I have here.”- Sixteen year old Tabitha, a resident at Baptist Children’s Homes’ Broyhill Home in Clyde.
On October 24, 2012, Tabitha was baptized in front of friends, family and her Baptist Children’s Homes’ houseparents and staff. Their shouts of joy echoed around her as she arose from the water. The indoor pool at Broyhill Home, where Tabitha lives with her younger brother Trevor, was the perfect place to make her decision to follow Jesus public.
At Baptist Children’s Homes, Tabitha has transformed from a frightened, timid child to a young lady whose light can no longer be contained. It is her heart’s desire to shine the light of Christ to all those she encounters. It wasn’t always that way.
Tabitha’s parents divorced when she was a toddler. Her father, who is disabled, did his best to care for Tabitha and her brother, but it was impossible for him to provide the home they needed. At school, Tabitha and Trevor were bullied mercilessly. Both children became withdrawn. They could not blossom into the people God intended them to be.
Wanting his children to have a new start and the best opportunity for success, the siblings’ father entrusted the care of Tabitha and Trevor to Baptist Children’s Homes.
When she first arrived more than a year ago, Tabitha was struggling with such extreme anxiety and self-esteem issues that she would barely speak or look others in the eye. Today, Tabitha stands before congregations and shares her testimony of God’s goodness. The girl who hardly talked has led devotions in her cottage. She loves attending church. And at the beginning of the year, Tabitha expressed to her Baptist Children’s Homes staff a desire to be involved in missions work.
Just as Tabitha desires to share God’s love with others, every day Christian houseparents and staff are missionaries to the children and families Baptist Children’s Homes (BCH) serves throughout 19 statewide communities. They share God’s love with North Carolina children who far too often come to BCH from situations involving family dysfunction and even abuse, abandonment and neglect. But miracles are happening! In 2012, 65 of Baptist Children’s Homes’ residents accepted Christ. Children from across a North Carolina mission field are rising up from their past turmoil because of the compassionate aid of North Carolina Baptists.
Offering Changes Lives
Tabitha and multiple boys and girls in Baptist Children’s Homes’ care will be featured as a part of the 2013 Annual Offering video. Also known as the “Thanksgiving Offering,” North Carolina Baptists empower the BCH ministry through this dedicated time of prayer and support. 70% of Baptist Children’s Homes’ residents come into care unchurched and unreached for Christ. Houseparents and staff are able to share the gospel with children and provide them with a safe, caring home because North Carolina Baptists generously give.
Please help offer hope to children by participating in this year’s offering. Order the video, offering materials, and schedule a BCH speaker at your church by calling 1-800-476-3669 ext. 1209. The video and other offering resources will be available online in August at offering
Volunteers, New Events Share Hope with Children
“We have a lot of guardian angels looking out for us.” – Mills Home resident Anna.
All eyes were fixed on Anna as she stepped onto the stage at last year’s Hope in Style event in Greensboro. The young college student’s smile widened as she gazed into the audience. Standing tall and poised, Anna walked across the runway proudly modeling her new cardigan, ruffled blouse, jeans, and shoes.
Anna and the other residents of Baptist Children’s Homes’ Mills Home campus in Thomasville all took turns on the stage modeling the new school clothing they received at Hope in Style, a children’s fashion show and silent auction produced in partnership with Belk, volunteers and a number of community sponsors.
“I was a little nervous when I first stepped onto the stage, but it was really exciting,” says Anna, a resident who is attending college and has the opportunity to pursue her dreams at BCH. “This showed all of us who live at the Children’s Homes that there are a lot of people out there who love and care about us.”
A number of events and new initiatives have brought together longtime friends and new supporters to show children just how much they care. In addition to Hope in Style, another new event known as HopeFest united volunteers from churches in the Sandhills area for a family-friendly event benefiting BCH’s two Moore County residential wilderness camps, Cameron Boys Camp and Camp Duncan. The day featured a church barbecue cook-off and artists Gold City, the Anchormen and 33 Miles.
More than 1,300 volunteers of all ages came to the spring 2013 Friends of Children workdays at BCH’s statewide locations. The one-day missions outreach allows volunteers to see the ministry firsthand and meet the residents while tackling a number of work projects. More workdays are scheduled for September.
Across the state, churches collected tons of nonperishable food items, supplies and gift cards for April’s Food Roundup. Food supplies, which began to run low, were generously replenished as children saw the hands and feet of Christ working through North Carolina Baptists.
One of the most unique and exciting partnerships between a church and Baptist Children’s Homes is with Awestruck Worship, the praise team out of Awestruck Church in Gibsonville. The group, who produces original praise and worship music, is donating the proceeds from the sales of their single Enough to purchase Sweet Dreams Bed Sponsorships for BCH’s residents. Each sponsorship provides a warm bed, safe BCH home, regular meals and caring houseparents. Enough is available online by searching for “Awestruck Worship” on iTunes and Amazon music store.
Monica and her Children Receive Fresh Start through Family Care
“It’s awesome. This is what I always needed - a family.” – Monica, a young mother who found the love and support she needed at Oak Ranch in Broadway.
Monica needed a second chance. The single mother of three children, including a precious two-year-old daughter, battled personal demons. She struggled with addictions that she overcame with the help of a specialized recovery house. But throughout her process, Monica was devastated because she could not be with her children.
When she left the facility, Monica struggled to find a place to help her rebuild her life while also caring for her two young sons and daughter. She discovered a haven of hope for her small family at Baptist Children’s Homes’ Oak Ranch.
“When I first came there I had lost all hope,” Monica says. “I thought my life was over and that God didn’t love me anymore.”
Through Oak Ranch’s Family Care program for single mothers and their children, life began to turn around for Monica. There, she was able to reunite with her children and make a new start.
“My children love it here,” she says. “The people here love us, they love my kids. It’s just an awesome program.”
Through Family Care, mothers like Monica learn the skills needed to obtain and maintain a stable home, job and income while still being able to care for their children. A Baptist Children’s Homes’ counselor and a live-in residential manager assist the mother in setting and achieving family goals, developing parenting and job skills, budgeting, resolving transportation needs, and realizing spiritual growth. The ultimate goal is to keep mothers and their children together through seven statewide Family Care group homes.
“It takes time to get back on your feet,” Monica says. “You just have to have hope, don’t give up and trust in God.”

NCBAM Outreach Expands through the Power of Partnership
North Carolina Baptist Aging Ministry (NCBAM) and North Carolina Baptists are reaching out with the love of Jesus to meet the spiritual and physical needs of North Carolina’s aging 65 and older. Powerful alliances have been forged with national and state agencies in the cause of protecting and serving North Carolina’s aging.
• Each month, the NCBAM Call Center receives an average of 369 calls from aging adults in need or their caregivers. Approximately 13,000 outgoing calls are made annually to partnering churches and other organizations to meet those needs. During the last year, no less than 5,000 North Carolina Baptists have been trained in a myriad of areas that impact the independence of aging adults.
• Through a partnership with the Office of State Fire Marshal, NCBAM makes it possible for churches to receive free, 10-year smoke detectors for installation in the homes of aging adults. Through a grant from the National Fire Protection Association, all NCBAM staff are trained to teach an evidence-based fall and fire prevention workshop to aging adults.
• As part of NCBAM’s Priority #1: Prevention initiative, 6,000 life-saving Red Bags have been distributed in the last 12 months. In the program’s first two years, 16,000 aging North Carolinians have acquired Red Bags to help them more safely manage prescription medications.
• NCBAM and Baptist Men are once again partnering to produce the biennial event Rampin’ Up! The statewide ramp-building, awareness-raising marathon is scheduled for April 26, 2014.
• NCBAM is developing Servant Care—a special outreach to North Carolina ministers 65 and older.

Special Needs Adults Achieve Success
“But then I found this place. I said to Jesus, ‘Thank you for giving me an excellent home.’” – Ralph, a developmentally disabled adult speaking about his home at Alverta Bolick Home in Asheville.
Ralph is a gentle giant standing a little more than six feet tall. The Alverta Bolick Home resident was born in Asheville’s Mission Hospital on May 5, 1956. And until his mother and father passed away less than a year apart, he lived at home, was loved and cared for, and had few worries.
But after their deaths, his life was turned upside down when he ended up living at a nursing care facility sleeping on a thin mattress that sat upon a metal, institutional-style bedframe. There were days when he did not receive his medications. He had no friends.
Ralph’s circumstances changed dramatically when he moved into BCH’s Alverta Bolick Home for developmentally disabled adults. The group home is one of nine Developmental Disabilities Ministry homes operated by Baptist Children’s Homes (BCH) around the state.
Ralph and his fellow residents attend Calvary Baptist Church which is adjacent to the home. The men at Alverta Bolick are part of the church’s outreach to people in the area with developmental disabilities. Ralph says he likes living in a Christian Home and “wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“I always want to live better for God,” Ralph says.
BCH’s Developmental Disabilities Ministry recently marked a milestone by reaching 100% occupancy in all nine homes.

Baptist State Convention of North Carolina
For period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013
The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (Convention) exists to help local churches fulfill their divinely appointed mission from God. The Convention staff, under the leadership of Executive Director-Treasurer Milton A. Hollifield Jr., is committed to helping Baptist churches and associations maximize their ministry outreach for the purpose of building God’s Kingdom.
Associational Partnerships
The Convention enjoys partnering in ministry with 78 associations across the state.
One way the Associational Partnerships Team works with local Baptist associations is through Ministry Partnership Agreements. Through these agreements the Convention partners with local associations, providing funding, coaching and training resources for church planting, resort ministry, ethnic and language ministry, and community ministry projects.
Another way Associational Partnerships works with local associations is through Church and Community Ministry personnel serving in the associations. This office provides training, resourcing and encouragement to these ministry evangelism servants.
Each year, Associational Partnerships and the North Carolina Associational Missions Conference co-host a summer conference that allows for networking, sharing and training, which are vital to effective associational ministry. The conference theme this year was “Commissioned, Called and Committed for Kingdom Ministry.” Guest speaker Tom Billings, associational missionary for Union Baptist Association in Houston, Texas, shared about “Great Commission Initiatives” Training.
Associational Partnerships also sponsored the annual Associational/Convention Staff Retreat. This year’s emphasis was “Missionary Leadership: Gateway to Missions.” The guest speaker was Stan Albright, national director for associations for the North American Mission Board.
When a vacancy occurs, Associational Partnerships helps search committees as they seek to fill associational ministry positions. In addition, the office provides training for search committees.
This office helps associations and churches understand the demographics of the area in which they are called to serve. Understanding the demographics of an associational area can help leaders be more effective in their planning and outreach. Convention churches can access this information through the Percept organization.
Church Planting
This year the Convention assisted 101 new church plants. Included in this number were Anglo, Hispanic, Asian, African-American, Vietnamese, Chinese, Haitian, India, Korean, Laotian and Nepali churches, among others. In 2012, new church plants reported 3,036 professions of faith in Jesus Christ and made 111,000 evangelistic and cultivative contacts during the year.
The work is being done not only by those able to serve full-time, but also by bivocational planters. In 2012, 26 bivocational planters received support through the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.
One of the primary components of the church planting process in North Carolina is Basic Training for Church Planters, a weeklong training event. This year 237 people were trained at this event. Unreached people groups continue to grow in North Carolina, as does Convention efforts to plant more new language churches.
Disciple-making Culture
Congregational Services seeks to lead North Carolina Baptist churches in creating a disciple-making culture in which lives are changed by the power of God.
Congregational Services assists churches in Sunday School, church administration, church building and planning, music and worship, children’s ministry, preschool ministry and family ministry.
Congregational Services continued the focus on “Looking at your church in 3D.” BSCNC staff helps churches walk through a process of discovering, developing and delivering in order to create a disciple-making culture. The goal of this effort is to see people growing in their knowledge of God, abiding in Christ and investing in the lives of others.
Disciple-making includes making disciples of all nations. Multicultural ministries assists churches by contextualizing the message to those who are in their communities, providing training and resources, and in developing a missionary mindset toward reaching the different cultures and communities of North Carolina.
Embrace
The Embrace ministry year launched with the Embrace Mother.Daughter Retreat and Girls Embrace Ministry Retreat. Both retreats were held the same weekend at Caraway Conference Center and Camp and guest speaker Erin Davis encouraged both groups.
Embrace partnered with LifeWay Christian Resources’ Women’s Events area to host joint leadership training. Embrace also hosted a leadership training event at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary to help equip women in evangelism, discipleship and missions. In addition to group plenary sessions and break out sessions, women learned through hands-on mission opportunities.
Embrace led a mission trip to Boston, which was coordinated as part of the Convention’s larger partnership in this area through the Office of Great Commission Partnerships.
New Strategy
This year the Convention’s Executive Committee and Board of Directors approved a five-year strategy: “Impacting Lostness through Disciple-making.” The strategy calls for a commitment to both strengthening churches and planting churches through facilitation of a disciple-making culture that utilizes a relationship-driven model of consultation, beginning in the most concentrated areas of lostness across the state.
Although lost people live throughout the entire state, the most concentrated areas of lostness in North Carolina are in eight population centers: Asheville, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Greenville, Hickory, Wilmington, the Triad area (Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point) and the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill).
These pockets of lostness increase every year. The population in North Carolina increased 18 percent from 2000 to 2010. During this same period, the population in these eight areas increased 22 percent, comprising nearly 75 percent of the state population. Strategy teams, comprised of local associational and church leaders, will be formed across the state to develop strategies for impacting lostness. These teams will be formed in the population centers and beyond. The Convention will employ strategy coordinators who will live and work in the population centers, assisting local strategy teams fulfill their locally developed strategies. In like fashion, additional Convention staff will assist strategy teams that develop outside the population centers across the state.
The Board also affirmed a new structure for the Convention staff to more effectively implement the five-year strategy. One of the new teams being created to fulfill the strategy is the Collegiate Partnerships Team, which will include three regional campus ministry consultants and two international ministry consultants.
Great Commission Partnerships
The Office of Great Commission Partnerships assists North Carolina Baptist churches and associations in developing, implementing and maintaining an effective missions strategy. Through partnerships in New York, Boston and Toronto, North Carolina Baptists are helping share the gospel in some of the most unreached areas of North America. This year 22 North Carolina Baptist churches served with church planters throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Churches are also working with church planters through partnerships in Boston and New York City.
To assist with the Moldova partnership, the Office of Great Commission Partnerships led a five-day missions conference in Moldova that helped train international and domestic missionaries of the Baptist Union of Moldova.
One of the major highlights of the year was the Next Generation Missional Journey New York experience for students involved in their second year of the training program. Partnering with the Metropolitan New York Baptist Association, the students shared the gospel with Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. The students also participated in people group research among Sri Lankans and other South Asian people groups.
Missions Development
The theme for the 2013 North Carolina Missions Offering and Week of Prayer was “Compelled by Christ: Proclaiming Release, Relief & Redemption” (). This offering is the visible expression of North Carolina Baptists who desire to impact eternity. The offering supports the work of NC Baptist Men, church planting, missions education and promotion, associational projects and mission camps.
The 1% Challenge was introduced to North Carolina Baptists. If all 4,300 North Carolina Baptist churches increased their Cooperative Program giving by one percent, the result would be an additional $6 million each year for ministry and missions. If all 45,000 Southern Baptist churches across the country accept the 1% Challenge, the result would be an additional $100 million.
In Cooperative Program promotion, a variety of resources were made available and sent to churches. These resources highlight the biblical mandate for missions, and how North Carolina Baptists participate in fulfilling the Great Commission through the Cooperative Program. The “52 Sundays” prayer guide was produced, which features international, North American and North Carolina missionaries supported by North Carolina Baptists and devotionals on prayer, stewardship and missions. An accompanying PowerPoint was also developed. Other resources include brochures, bulletin inserts and videos.
Prayer
The annual statewide prayer conference was held in Winston-Salem at Old Town Baptist Church. The conference featured Logan Carson, Darryl Craft, John Franklin, Hugh Morrison and Bryon Paulus.
As follow up to the “Awaken” theme for the 2012 Annual Meeting, 16 associational prayer retreats and rallies were scheduled with associations this year. The purpose of these retreats was to pray for, encourage and foster a desire to pray toward revival and spiritual awakening. Regional prayer conferences, summits and solemn assembly gatherings were also held in partnership with associations and churches across North Carolina.
Scholarships
For the 2013-2014 academic year, almost 700 Baptist Scholarships were awarded totaling more than $700,000. Students applying for the Baptist Scholarship were required to answer two essay questions: “Give your personal testimony” and “How is the Cooperative Program relevant to today’s generation?” Returning applicants answered essay questions about how attending a Baptist school has impacted their testimony, and how their campus ministry has influenced their life.
Sharing the Gospel
The Intentionally Evangelistic Church Strategy (IECS) remains the primary strategy for assisting churches and associations in their efforts to win North Carolina to Christ. IECS seminars were offered in different regions of the state, and this year the Multicultural Evangelism Office also hosted IECS trainings.
The 2013 statewide evangelism conference was held at Pleasant Garden Baptist Church. The theme was “Culture Reach: Understanding, Loving and Relating to Muslims.” Speakers included Fred Luter, Nik Ripken, Nabeel Qureshi, Mike Licona, Zane Pratt and Alex McFarland.
Youth Ministry
Attendance for the 2013 summer Youth Weeks camps was nearly 7,000 over seven weeks at the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell. Total decisions included 526 first time professions of faith, more than 4,000 rededications and 408 called to full-time Christian ministry. The theme was “Speak Up, Step Up, Stand Up,” which focused on helping students learn to stand up for their faith and to live as a witness for Jesus Christ.
The 2013 Youth Weeks mission offering project consisted of students packaging food to help alleviate hunger in Haiti, and food was purchased with their mission offering. Students gave more than $60,000, making it possible to send 200,000 meals to Haiti and to support for a year an orphanage in Haiti.
Two statewide events were held to reach Hispanic youth and young adults.
The youth ministry team offered North Carolina Baptist churches training in missions, discipleship, worship, transitions after graduation and youth ministry planning.
Baptist Foundation
2012 REPORT FOR NORTH CAROLINA BAPTIST FOUNDATION
The North Carolina Baptist Foundation is the trust agency of the Baptist State Convention with a mission“ to serve North Carolina Baptists and others in generating an increased awareness of Christian stewardship principals as a means of financially undergirding Baptist churches, institutions and mission endeavors on a permanent basis.”With our focus on that mission every day, we make it our aim to “Arise...shine...that His glory shall be seen.” (Isaiah 60: 1-2)
To that end, in 2012 our staff made 203 presentations in Baptist churches and associations, institutions and agencies, as well as statewide Baptist senior adult conferences. We co-hosted Senior Adult Festivals at Chowan University, Mars Hill College and Baptist Children’s Homes, enabling us to further spread the word about the importance of Christian estate planning in supporting ministry in perpetuity. We did the same in sponsoring the 17th annual Noel Inspirational Retreat at Caraway Conference Center using as our theme, “Finishing Well.” Once again we co-sponsored two important events with the Baptist State Convention, the 37thannual NC Baptist Development Officer’s Conference and the 12thannual NC Baptist Heritage Award Luncheon.
To the end of supporting missions and ministries in perpetuity, we established 78 new accounts in 2012 totaling $3,028,727.77. In addition, we received $3,540,804.29 into existing accounts for total receipts of $6,569,532.06 in 2012. During that same period, we distributed $2,051,223.49 to individuals through charitable trusts and $6,610,767.69 to charities, for a total distribution of $8,661,991.18.
An important element of our ministry is to invest wisely the Kingdom assets entrusted to us. In making those investments, our primary focus is to protect the corpus by managing the risk, while at the same time achieving a good return. In 2012 each of our 4 funds provided positive returns. Our Growth Fund was up 9.27%, our Balanced Fund was up 6.99%, the Income Fund was up 5.91% and the Fixed Income Fund was up 6.42%. We were able to achieve these positive returns while at the same time applying appropriate social screens on our investments.
Our newest ministry, NC Baptist Financial Services, also continues to thrive. In 2012, some 18 loans were closed in the amount of $9.5 million. Since its beginning in 2009, some 44 loans have been made totaling over $25million. The Church Growth Investment Fund, the investment arm of NCBFS and the primary funding source for loans, grew to over $35 million. NCBFS has made loans to NC Baptist churches for expansion to include new sanctuaries, family life centers, educational buildings, land purchases and major renovation projects.
The North Carolina Baptist Foundation seeks everyday to arise and shine by encouraging and enabling NC Baptists to be good stewards and support Kingdom work so that ‘His glory shall be seen.’

The Mother’s Day Offering
North Carolina Baptists gave over $625,000 in FY 2013 to the Mother’s Day Offering, helping patients suffering from serious illness and devastating financial need pay their hospital bills in the name of Jesus Christ and His love. God works through every gift, leading hundreds of people closer to Christ in life-changing gratitude.
Kenzie Martin was born with Down’s Syndrome. A hole in her heart was successfully repaired at Baptist Hospital, but her parents were financially overwhelmed by waves of medical bills. “The Mother’s Day Offering was a miracle that saved us financially and changed our lives. This was God’s love in action,” said Eddie, her father. Her mother Tracy rejoiced, “This kindness lifted a huge burden and gave us hope. We thank N.C. Baptists with all our hearts.”

Biblical Recorder’s Annual Report for BSCNC, November 2013
On the job for 180 years
This year the Biblical Recorder marked 180 years of publishing news and information for North Carolina Baptists. Since Thomas Meredith founded the paper in 1833, the material published or posted on the web has been a vital part of Baptist history.
As North Carolina Baptists meet for the annual meeting in Greensboro this November 11-12, the theme is “ARISE.” The focus is on living for the glory of God. In keeping with that theme, your Biblical Recorder staff wants to live for the glory of God and communicate the message of God’s Word in all we do. After all, one of our three stated objectives is to glorify God.
We believe God is glorified when His church is strong, healthy and living out the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. We work diligently to provide church leaders with articles, stories and information to that end. In fact, the information we give you is very important to every member of the church.
Ours is both an information-hungry society and an information-starved culture. We feast on mounds of information every day. But not all information is reliable. Some of it is intentionally deceptive or outright false. While we may be gorging ourselves with information, we are starving from the shortage of healthy, truthful information.
So where is your church family getting their information? Is secular media feeding the information diet of the church with an unbiblical agenda? What can you do about it?
This is the reason your Biblical Recorder is very important. We are here to serve you. We are your church’s trusted information source. Everyone in your church fellowship can get good information through one or more of the avenues we provide:
• The Biblical Recorder in print is a great value. Individual members can subscribe or the church can provide for church members at a discounted rate. A copy will be mailed directly to your home. An even better deal is available through bulk copies sent to the church for distribution.
• Now you can receive the Biblical Recorder in a digital, online version. This year we launched the digital edition through our website, . This is the full version of the printed copy, in an easy-to-read digital format. Subscriptions are very reasonable.
• Our website, , is packed with about 10,000 pages of valuable information. It is the highest ranked website of all Baptist newspapers. Averaging between 10,000 to 20,000 hits per day, visitors around the world trust for up-to-date news and information.
• Download the BR app to your smartphone today. It is free, and it is an easy way to get important news items at your fingertips. The new app was launched earlier this year and has become a popular way to stay close to vital information.
• BRweekly is another free, easy way to stay in touch with important news. Sign up today and every Wednesday morning you will receive a brief summary of the week’s important news and brief comments from the editor in your inbox.
• Follow us on Twitter and Facebook. We’ll give you breaking news and important information quickly.
In July we changed the technology behind our website. The new advanced technology is called “responsive design.” It allows the website to detect the nature of your device and to adjust our page content for the ideal screen arrangement. Most websites will identify your device, but very few are able to adjust the content. The new technology makes our content easier to read on smaller devices such as smartphones and small tablets.
When you subscribe to the Biblical Recorder or visit our website, you are feeding yourself and your church family the kind of material that will strengthen Kingdom vision. It will encourage and motivate you in your partnership with North Carolina Baptists and Southern Baptists as we fulfill the Great Commission of our Savior. It will be an instrument to connect you with other churches in Kingdom work, also.
We hope you will encourage your congregation to read the Recorder. And, we hope you will make room in your budget to provide the printed edition for your leadership. If possible, make it available to as many members who want it. Another option is to subscribe to the online digital edition for your leaders and members. There is a subscription plan that fits your church budget.
The Biblical Recorder receives support through your gifts to the Cooperative Program, allowing you to subscribe at rates that are much lower than the actual cost of production. We are proud to be an agency of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina since 1939. Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a privilege to join you in standing firm on the truth of scripture. “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8).

Christian Higher Education-Rit Varriale, Chair
The Christian Higher Education Special Committee of the Board of Directors serves North Carolina Baptists as a liaison for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and its affiliated educational institutions: Campbell University, Gardner-Webb University, Mars Hills University and Wingate University. The Committee promotes the Convention’s Baptist Scholarship Program for undergraduates attending one of the affiliated educational institutions and seeks to find ways that these institutions can assist churches in the fulfillment of the congregation’s divinely appointed mission.
Many great things are happening on the campuses of the five affiliated educational institutions and our committee gives all the glory and honor to God for how the students, faculty and staff from each of these schools are faithfully serving God.
In May, faculty from Campbell’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business led a Church Administration Conference in partnership with Convention staff. The conference provided critical training for church administrators. In addition, more than 3,000 students have applied to Campbell’s new medical school, which opened in August.
Students and staff from Chowan University participated in several mission trips during the past year. Members from Chowan’s football team served alongside NC Baptist Men disaster relief volunteers in New Jersey during their 2012 Christmas break. In May, 15 students and staff travelled to Ethiopia to minister to street children. Enrollment for the 2012-2013 academic year is the school’s largest undergraduate enrollment since 1971.
Thirty-six Gardner-Webb University students and faculty participated in three university-sponsored mission trips this summer to Brazil, India and Hawaii. The university partnered with NC Baptist Men to send students and faculty to Hawaii. The highly anticipated Physician’s Assistant program is scheduled to open in 2014.
Mars Hill College officially became Mars Hill University in August. The university also hosted more than a dozen faith-based groups this summer, which utilized campus facilities for numerous camps and conferences.
In January, more than 70 Wingate University students participated in a day of caring on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Wingate students volunteer more than 10,000 hours of community service each year. Some projects include Alternate Spring Break, MLK Day of Service and the annual “Don’t Dump – Donate!” recycling drive.
The Convention continues to provide scholarships to students attending the affiliated educational institutions as funds are available. The North Carolina Baptist Scholarship is awarded annually to full-time undergraduate students who are members of a church affiliated with the Baptist State Convention and attending one of the five affiliated schools. For the 2013-2014 academic year, almost 700 Baptist Scholarships were awarded totaling nearly $700,000. To apply, interested students can visit scholarships.
For several years the Committee has been working toward establishing a Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute Scholarship. Our Committee is pleased to announce that the first student should be awarded the scholarship during the 2013-2014 academic year. The two-year scholarship is awarded to Fruitland students who, upon graduation from Fruitland, desire to continue their education at one of the educational institutions affiliated with the Convention. A maximum of two students at each participating affiliated institution would be eligible for the scholarship.
Our Committee thanks North Carolina Baptists for continuing to support Christian higher education and making it possible for students to grow in their faith and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
GuideStone
Office of the GuideStone Team of the Baptist State Convention of NC, Inc.
During this past year the GuideStone Team of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina worked closely with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention to provide ministry to the more than 4,300 churches in our state convention. The following summarizes these efforts:
Retirement
• Encouraging churches to provide retirement as a benefit to staff remains a huge challenge! When given a choice, many church staff employees choose not to participate…sad! In the past year more than 2,000 of our 4,300 churches had NO participants in the plan.
• 2012 State Convention Protection Benefits— the following disability and survivor benefits were in place for retirement participants—114 persons received a total of $606,750.06 in disability benefits and 36 deaths resulted in a distribution of $404,412.52 to beneficiaries.
1. Three recent deaths of pastors detail both good and bad news. In two of those deaths the participants (79 and 63 years of age) were active participants in the retirement plan. As a result, the widows received death benefits of $10,000 and $25,000 respectively. The third minister (45 years of age) was NOT an active participant; therefore, the widow did NOT receive what would have been a death benefit of $75,000, and the neighboring churches were encouraged by the Director of Missions to take up love offerings to pay for this pastor’s funeral expenses…VERY SAD NEWS!
2. A church secretary, who was forced to leave work on January 4 because of a disability illness, is now in line to qualify for a disability benefit because her church has provided all their staff with retirement contributions as a benefit of employment. Without question this church stepped up to the plate and did the right thing for their employees.
• GuideStone Funds---continue to receive high marks compared to like funds in the financial world. GuideStone Funds rank No. 6 of 226 mutual fund families according to fi360 Fund Family Fiduciary Rankings, as of March 31, 2013.
Insurance
• Health Care Reform Law—GuideStone continues to provide timely updates for churches on their website as the new law moves toward full implementation in 2014.
• According to CEO, O. S. Hawkins, GuideStone is working diligently with other denominations to get administrative and legislative “fixes” to church health plans that were left out of the national debate on health care reform.
Staff Compensation
o Appropriate structure and administration of compensation is another ongoing concern. Unfortunately, the antiquated “lump sum pay package” is alive and thriving in North Carolina.
Mission:Dignity
o GuideStone Financial Resources in Dallas continues to provide financial assistance to those elderly ministers and widows of ministers who live under financial duress and need ongoing and/or one time assistance through Mission:Dignity. During this past year almost 200 North Carolinians were assisted financially by GuideStone.
Finally, as my own retirement approaches, it has been an honor and privilege to serve all of our churches and their employees with appropriate information/products to meet their needs. For assistance call the Baptist State Convention of NC at 1.800.395.5102 ext 5594 or 5595, visit our Web site at , call GuideStone at 1.888.984.8433, or visit the GuideStone Web site at .
