Southern Baptist Convention; organize for worship,

evangelism, education and discipleship; make long-term

than ten (10) messengers. Messengers shall provide

satisfactory evidence of their election by their church to

the association.

and the Southern Baptist Convention. The association is

an autonomous body not controlled by any other entity.

Beaverdam Baptist Association will mobilize three

ministry teams: Leadership Development Team,

Missions Exploration Team and Missions Mobilization

Team.

Each team should consist from five to seven team

members as a core group but add, as necessary, an

unlimited number of team associates that are willing to

help churches. Except where noted, ministry team

members will be presented at the October Executive

Board meeting for approval. The associational staff will

all leaders and teams will begin upon election. Team

members may succeed themselves. The moderator

and director of missions will be ex-officio members of

all teams.

Team Members are:

ministry and missions by addressing community and

October annual meeting.

Leadership Development Team

The team would be made up of at least 7 members.

1. This team would receive input from the church

leadership for areas of desired training and information.

It would include all pastors (full time, bi-vocational, and

interim's), associate pastors, staff members (ministers

of music, youth, children, education, & secretaries), and

deacons. The team would also focus to work with areas

of Sunday School, Discipleship Training, Vacation Bible

School, WMU, Men's Ministry, and age-related

leadership development. This team would also offer

other training for Leadership Development as

requested by the Association churches.

Missions Exploration Team

This team would focus on Local Mission projects that

would receive input from WMU and Men's Ministry. The

intent would be to explore and implement local mission

opportunities available for our member churches to

become involve in. The team would consist of at least

5 members. Their focus would be:

1. Local mission projects (example: homeless shelter,

food bank drives, medical clinics, Oconee Medical

Center Chaplain, Clemson International Ministry,

campground ministries, sporting ministries (golf course,

marathons, whitewater stops, and so forth). Festival

ministries, (Apple Festival, various Fall Festivals, and

seasonal parades). The team would explore how we as

Christians can influence and impact in some way these

areas within the Greater Oconee County area.

2. The team would explore focused evangelism

opportunities.

3. The standing committee of Disaster Relief would

also have a member on this team to identify those

requiring their involvement in times of disasters in our

area.

Missions Mobilization Team

This team would combine our Judea (state), Samaria

(national) and Uttermost Part of the Earth

(international). The team would consist of at least 5

members with each having an area of responsibility.

The team would identify mission opportunities that all

member churches could participate in. The

identification efforts would come through our State and

National Conventions. But primarily, there would be a

consistent communication with our member churches

to open the opportunities for other Associational

churches to join them in their mission projects. We

have recognized that many of our churches are smaller

in number and may not have the financial and people

resources to pursue mission projects beyond their

communities. However, by combining their efforts with

other member churches, they would be able to go and

participate as God leads them. The standing committee

of Disaster Relief would also have a member on this

team to identify those requiring their involvement in

times of disasters in our area.

Westminster First Baptist Church

Rev. Andrew Brown, a Presbyterian Minister, came as a missionary to this area in 1804 and served for the next

16 years. His followers met in homes to worship until John Oliver Green gave seven acres of land to build a meeting

place. This church was called the Westminster Presbyterian Church and from this, the town of Westminster received

its name. Because of the close proximity to the Richland Presbyterian Church and the need of a church in the Retreat

section, the Westminster Church became known as the Retreat Presbyterian Church.

The seven acres of land and log house were turned over to the Baptists, and in 1831, Westminster First Baptist

church was organized. Rev. James R. Smith was the first Pastor. The first mention of deacons being selected was in

1850. The first recorded offering for a Pastor was in 1862, and the amount of $15.30 was received and used by Rev.

H. M. Barton to go to Virginia to preach to the soldiers during the War Between the States.

In 1925, Rev. M. J. Stansell became Pastor. The church was soon full time and a home was purchased on Hampton

Street. Rev. Stansell led in an era of progress. A new brick sanctuary and Sunday School rooms were built in 1949 and

soon after, a new parsonage. The church grew from 200 to 700 members with an average attendance exceeding 300.

Rev. Ralph Cowan served from 1958 – 1965. A new educational building was erected, renovations were made to

the sanctuary and a new front structure, vestibule and steeple were added. Rev. T. Alfred Woolbright served from 1966

– 1973. The church saw more than 400 additions to its membership during his ministry.

Dr. Stewart B. Simms, Jr. began his ministry in 1974. Under his leadership, the Knox & Adams property, 27 acres

adjacent to the church was purchased. In 1975, Rev. M. J. Stansell was honored as Pastor Emeritus on the 50th

anniversary of his call to the church.

In 1978, Rev. John B. Compton, Jr. answered the call to First Baptist where he served until his retirement in 1996.

The fellowship hall was built in 1982, and in 1992 the sanctuary was refurbished and a larger kitchen was added to the

fellowship hall.

Rev. Mark Ford was called as pastor in October 1997. Improvement were made to the buildings, parsonage and

landscaping of the grounds. Ministries were begun for all age groups and more than 120 members were added. In May

1999, the church entered into agreement with Trehel Corporation to provide studies, master planning, & drawings for

facilities for further growth.

Rev. M. Craig Canton was called as pastor and began his ministry on June 15, 2005. On July 24 of that year, the

church made a Shepherd's Covenant together as pastor & people. In his first year of ministry, there were more baptisms

than in the previous 37 years, and in his first four years, 150 new members were added. This growth required an

expansion of the church's ministry organization on both the lay leadership and staff leadership levels, and for the first

time, the church was led by three full-time staff members.

On July 8, 2007, the church voted to reenter a partnership with Trehel Corporation to compose plans for a new

Multi-Purpose Facility, and in a subsequent phase, the expansion of the current sanctuary. Ground was broken on May

25, 2008 for the Multi-Purpose Building/Family Life Center, and the building was dedicated for service to the Lord and

the edification of His people on January 11, 2009.

The One Hundred Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting of Beaverdam Baptist Association

Monday, October 25, 2010

Westminster First Baptist Church, Westminster, SC

"Impact Oconee"

Pre-session. The "Impact Oconee" video was shown.

Music was presented by the Westminster Baptist Trio.

Songs included "I will sing", "Two Hands, One Heart", and

"Thank You, Lord".

1. Call to Order. Ken Reid called the meeting to order

at 7:00 p.m.

2. Theme Interpretation & Invocation, David Shirley,

Director of Missions. The current population of Oconee

County is 71,755 with projected growth of five percent

within the next five years. Fifty-five percent–over half of

our county–have little to no involvement in the faith

community. Our desire is to impact Oconee County with

the Good News of Jesus Christ, and we call on our

churches to come together to do collectively more than

any one can do alone. "To the degree we grasp lostness

will be the degree we are willing to do whatever is

necessary to penetrate it. If we do not understand

lostness intellectually and theologically, we will not

change nor will we do what must be done to penetrate it.

I am convinced we have not only forgotten what it is like

to be lost, but we act as if lostness does not exist." Our

challenge is to accept the challenge to impact Oconee

County, through the churches of this association, and

celebrate what churches are doing to impact Oconee

County right now. He led in the opening prayer.

3. Greetings From Host Church were given by Kenny

Owen, Interim Pastor.

7. Reports.

A. Director of Missions' Report. David Shirley

said for many years he had expressed to his wife and

family his desire, if God's will would ever allow, to be used

by God to be an encouragement and help to churches

and pastors. He never dreamed that would become a

reality in the county where he grew up, but after spending

the past 20 plus years pastoring churches, God called

Page 15

him to come here as Director of Missions, and he was

humbled and thankful for the privilege.

After praying and seeking God's wisdom and

guidance, he was led to the theme and focus "Impacting

Oconee County" with the news of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Fifty-five percent of the county's population, 39,000+,

have no involvement in the faith community. Even though

we are blessed with an abundance of churches rich in

history and wonderful heritage, there are still people in

this county who are leaving this world not prepared for

eternity. We have a job to do, and need to be about

kingdom business.

A new organizational structure and revisions to the

Operations Manual were approved by the Executive

Board in July, and these changes are very evident in the

proposed 2011 budget. We have committed ourselves to

being good stewards of the contributions churches have

given, and making an effort to impact lostness in Oconee

County and beyond.

In early October, six people accompanied David on

a Canada Vision Trip. They met with local church

planters, NAMB missionaries, seminary president and

representatives of the Canadian National Baptist

Convention, and discussed a possible partnership

between our association and the CNBC. Why Canada?

Thirty-four million people live in Canada, and 95% are

without Christ. There are only 268 Southern Baptist

churches in all of Canada. The province of Alberta is

larger than the state of Texas, has three million people,

and 53 Baptist churches – that's one church for 60,000+

people. Alberta was the former Bible Belt of Canada, so

strong in the faith that in the 50s and 60s, when planes

entered Alberta’s air space they could not serve alcohol.

Now they have raised two generations that do not know

the Lord. If you ask a teenager today if he goes to church,

he will say no, but I think my grandparents used to. That's

where we're headed if we don't turn it around here, and

why we need to be about impacting lostness here in this

association and county, and be Christ witnesses to the

uttermost parts of the world.

Dr. Rob Blackaby, President of the Canadian

Southern Baptist Seminary, will be speaking on

Wednesday, November 10th at a joint service at Seneca

Baptist Church, and on Thursday, November 11th at a

breakfast for church staff, also at Seneca.

David’s wife, Cathy, is hosting a Pastors' Wives

Fellowship on Tuesday, November 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the

Beaverdam Mission Center and invited all pastors' wives

to come. The Associational WMU is providing a dessert

fellowship.

The Ministers and Wives Retreat will be April 8-9,

2011 at the Hyatt in downtown Greenville. Dr. Don Wilton,

pastor of First Baptist Church Spartanburg, will be the

speaker. This is a great opportunity for all pastors, staff

members and spouses.

The first ever Oconee County Stadium Crusade

/Celebration is scheduled for the last week of September

or first week of October 2011. The intent of the crusade

is to become a yearly event, and rotate between Seneca,

West-Oak, Walhalla, and have all of our churches come

together and fill the football stadium. Phil Henry (Rocky

Knoll) and John McKnight (Hepsibah) are serving as

chair and vice-chair. He asked everyone to begin praying

Isaiah 64:1 and that God would make His presence

known.

Tonight we not only look ahead with great

anticipation to all that God is going to do in our churches,

but we also want to celebrate what they're already doing

now. He asked six people to briefly share the unique

things their churches are doing to impact lostness in

Oconee County.

Cross Roads Westminster / Oconee State Park.

Rod Lyda, Pastor, described a Youth mission trip to

Oconee State Park in July. They spent three days going

out into the campground, getting to know the kids, and

conducting Bible School in the Rec Building for all

campers. It was an awesome time, and the Youth

benefitted the most. They were excited to go out and

share the good news. Even in their free time, the Youth

made a point to make friends with the campers and show

the love of Jesus. The Youth carried a 2x4 cross

everywhere they went, to remind them of who they were

representing. The result was rededicated lives, and

baptisms.

Mountain Rest / River Fellowship. Scott Magley

(Mountain Rest) talked about the River Fellowship,

holding worship services and preaching Jesus on the

river where the river enthusiasts are. The Word says to

be Salt and Light and get out among people, and River

Fellowship travels to different rivers in the Southeast.

They have an evangelistic outreach to the three raft

companies in Long Creek, taking Bibles and tracts, and

things they need on the river. Their needs are for prayers

and donations to buy Bibles and other things they use on

the river. Budget is $1,500 per year.

Cheohee / Camp Gigahu. Gayle Alexander

(Cheohee) reported on the Camp Gigahu ministry that

was started in 2003. Camp Gigahu is a state juvenile

facility located near Cheohee that houses 13 to 18 year

old girls from all over South Carolina who have been in

trouble with the law, gangs, or had extremely abusive

Page 16

pasts. God has blessed the girls and all the people

who've been part of the ministry. Services are on Monday

nights for girls who wish to come, and many have come

to know Jesus as their personal Savior. Bibles are placed

in the hands of girls who attend services. They have been

invited to the church VBS and been part of Thanksgiving

meals and fruit baskets at Christmas. Other churches

have helped with the Camp Gigahu ministry. Salem and

Corinth Westminster helped with Christmas gifts for the

girls, Salem makes birthday cakes for the girls. A lady

from Pleasant Ridge attends every Monday, and

encourages the girls to write down their prayer requests.

She takes these requests home and prays for their

specific requests, and sends letters with scripture

references to them. She shared the testimony of a

defining moment in the ministry, the story of Erica who

found the peace of Jesus.

Scenic Heights / Pleasant Ridge - Good News

Club. Steve Black (Scenic Heights) talked about the

Good News Club that Scenic Heights and Pleasant Ridge

partner in at Tamassee-Salem Elementary School. They

have approximately 85 to 90 children every Tuesday, and

ten children have been saved during the last two weeks.

This is the epitome of how churches can work together.

We need to drop barriers if we're ever going to make an

impact. Pleasant Ridge, Scenic Heights and ten other

churches in the Walhalla area take turns at Lunch for Life,

serving 200+ meals every Saturday at the Salvation Army

to hungry people. They're not doing it for anyone but

Jesus Christ, and have made a difference.

Salem / Tamassee Salem Middle and High

School. Carl Krezdorn (Salem), Pastor, said when he

was called as pastor in 2004, one of the questions the

church leadership asked him was what are we going to do

about the youth. Henry Blackaby in Experiencing God

said God is at work around us, and we need to discern

what he wants us to do, and join Him. Tamassee-Salem

Middle and High School is right next door to Salem, and

the church got involved with the school to help grow the

youth by serving breakfast to them every Tuesday

morning at 7:00 a.m. that school is in session. Four teams

serve; approximately 50 students come to get a free

breakfast. A devotion is led by a couple of men, one from

Golden Corner Church. As a result God has blessed that

event which has been going on for many years and

dozens have been saved as a result. The students know

someone loves them, and the school staff have been

blessed. They have been served thousands of meals and

heard hundreds of testimonies about Jesus Christ. Carl

gave God all the glory for what He's doing in this ministry.

College Street / Oconee Men's Outreach - Oak

Tree Church Ministry. Garry Freeman said in

September 2006 he and Lanny Wilkie began working at

Walhalla Gardens Apartment doing a Bible Study under

an oak tree. For weeks no one came, then one family

began meeting with them. Through that family, love,

patience and trust grew, and they began to tell of needs

in the community, and how they night minister to people

there. They began an itinerant ministry of prayer walking,

counseling people in the community, praying with and for

them every Sunday morning. Thanks to the support of

College Street members, they started a children's

program. They go out to apartments in town and bring

children ages 3 to 20 back to the church gym, give them

a place to play and a much needed break for single

parents. With assistance from the apartments, the

ministry has provided a car. The result is people have

been drawn to Jesus, and given hope and

encouragement. More than 80 people are praying for kids

each week as they come to the gym. Small businesses

and over 50 individuals have offered financial and

material gifts. More than 50 of the church's youth and

adults have helped with kids night program. Over 200

children and young adults have been offered

encouragement for their families. Many have

rediscovered the life they once had in Jesus. Many more

understand about the love and hope and the future He

offers them. He asked prayer for the ministry, and for the

Father to send more workers – they are only able to be at

one place on Sunday, and there are three other

complexes in Walhalla that need workers.

Mt. Pleasant / Cowboy Church. Alvin Burdette (Mt

Pleasant) said he'd had a burden and been praying for 2

years about the need for a Cowboy Church in our area.

This past June two couples in the church, Doug & Shawn

Smith and Jason & Jennifer Fuller, came to him and

asked if he would help start a Cowboy Church. Other

people in the community had expressed interest in

starting an equestrian ministry. The Cowboy Church

started in July, has had an average attendance of 56,

seen 7 decisions for Jesus Christ, and baptized two

15-year old boys in a water trough last month. God is

moving and doing great things. They have a trail ride

before the services, and twenty-two people, age 18

months to 70 years, rode for two hours before the last

service. Alvin gave an object lesson using a rope, a tool

used by cowboys to make a living. He took the lariat and

swung it around. If you stand inside the radius and say I'm

comfortable where I am, if people want to come they can,

you become stale and stagnant. If you rebel against the

rope, never done it that way, you will get all tangled up,

Page 17

twisted and will fail. If you work with the rope and move

with it as one, and let it be a tool, a guide, then you can

accomplish. The rope is the Holy Spirit. He said I will go

with you. We have to get out to the people There are

people who won't go to church on Sunday morning, but

will go to a Cowboy Church. It's not true that if you build

it they will come—we have to go - Acts 1:8. Two-thirds of

God's name is GO. He asked for prayer for the Cowboy

Church and the great things God has in store.

8. Restructuring Committee / Proposed

Amendment - Name Change. Ken Reid said four years

ago when Steve Black was moderator, the association set

up a committee to study the organizational structure. The

committee's recommendation for restructuring was

presented by Ron Potts at the July Executive Board

meeting, and approved. Ken said Ron could not be with

us tonight, and recognized Scott Lee (Clearmont) to come

with a recommendation for a name change.

Scott stated it has been a privilege to serve on the

committee for the past two years. A lot of prayer was put

into their work, and he assured members that Ron has

given due diligence to the committee's assignment. Ron

was a big encourager to all who served with him. He

recognized and thanked members of the committee for

their work: Alvin Burdett (Mt. Pleasant), JoAnn Bryson

(Fants Grove), and Laura White (Westminster). He also

thanked David Shirley and the association's staff.

He referred to the "Name Change" recommendation

printed on page 3 of the Book of Reports, and stated it

would require a constitutional amendment. The

Restructuring Committee, in unanimous agreement and

with much prayer and thought, moved that the name of

the association be changed from Beaverdam Baptist

Association to Greater Oconee Baptist Network.

"We believe that the churches who participate with

this body are each interconnected with a common

purpose and driven focus to fulfill the Great Commission.

We also feel that as a Network we are moving beyond

just having a common interest in the efforts of this body

to each church being connected with the endeavors of the

body."

Ken stated this recommendation was presented in

writing to the Executive Board at its July meeting, and

was brought back at the October Executive Board and

discussed per the constitution. Coming from a committee,

the motion did not need a second.

Scott Lee was recognized to speak for the motion.

"Today we face challenges unlike the church has ever

seen before. Fulfilling the Great Commission is no longer

as easy as stating ‘Everyone is Welcome' on our church

signs. Worship styles have divided families and churches,

and left us with a generational gap that appears to be

widening. Continuing on the path of failure is no longer an

option. Positive change that can help lay a foundation for

an effective mission now and in the future is needed .

Trying to recapture days gone by is simply not working.

We must reach out to one another, we must put our

differences aside, and we must mature above our own

preferences, and lock arms together, young and old alike,

for the purpose of sharing the gospel with the lost and

dying world. The proposed name change represents what

I believe to be a positive change in the right direction.

With deep respect for the past history and

accomplishments of Beaverdam Baptist Association, and

with a debt of gratitude to those who have labored for the

kingdom and for those who have come before us, I

believe the time is at hand for just such a change. The

name Greater Oconee Baptist Network represents a new

beginning, a new vision, and new era for our missions

here in Oconee and beyond, a mission that I hope and

pray will continue with this generation and those to follow.

The two words - Greater Oconee - identifies the county in

which our member churches are primarily situated. It also

opens the door for those churches outside of our county's

boundaries that may in the future want to unite with our

fellowship, as we presently already have one. Baptist

identifies our denominational affiliation. Network means

we are interconnected and interrelated in our work

together as an association. I am in full agreement with the

name change and see it as a move forward in the effort

to reach people with the gospel, and not just to hang on

to what we have already lost."

Calvin King was recognized to speak against the

motion. Calvin stated he appreciated the committee’s

hard work and diligent effort they have put in, and read a

statement concerning the proposed name change. "Many

of you probably are hearing it for the first time tonight.

The committee has made a proposed change, and one

reason is geographic, Greater Oconee, meaning outside

of Oconee. If the one member church removed itself from

this association, then the name Greater Oconee would no

longer be applicable. Our state has 43 associations, 20 of

the associations do not use geographic or county name

as part of their association. I don't know of any

association that uses the word Network to describe itself.

Second reason is lack of historical background on how

Beaverdam Baptist Association got its name in the first

place. Our association was named after Beaverdam

Baptist Church, established in 1803. It was a frontier

church in what would later become Oconee County. Until

the late 1800s all the territory northwest of Fair Play was

still wilderness with no established towns. Beaverdam

Page 18

and other churches in the Tugalo Baptist Association sent

missionaries into the dark corners of this county to

establish houses of worship. In 1887 delegates from

Bethel, Coneross, Beaverdam, Chauga, Madison,

Hepsibah, Westminster, Old Liberty, Westminster First,

Return, Seneca, Walhalla and 19 other churches met at

Bethel at Oakway to establish a new association.

Beaverdam Baptist Church sent out preachers

evangelizing the Southeast and planting churches in

South Carolina and Georgia 42 years before the Southern

Baptist Convention was even established in 1845. By

1887 Beaverdam Baptist Church had started or assisted

in the starting of more than 40 churches, including South

Union, First Baptist Lavonia and First Baptist Macon

Georgia. When delegates chose the association's name,

it was only appropriate and deserving that the name

would be Beaverdam after the territory's most prominent

church. At this meeting tonight, the work and example set

by Beaverdam Baptist Church is unsurpassed today by

any church. The Restructuring Committee proposed a

new name based simply on a geographical territory. A

name based on the foundational leadership and example

is more important to me, and that is why we should retain

the name that we have. Let us build on the great historic

name and foundation of Beaverdam that we have and not

change it or try to rewrite it as our government is trying to

do with our national history."

JoAnn Bryson (Fants Grove) was recognized to

speak for the motion. Fants Grove is located on the

outskirts of Pendleton in Anderson County. She

expressed "appreciation for the opportunity to serve on

the committee, for prayers, and to those who took time to

attend the townhall meetings—your input was very

valuable in arriving at the recommendation being

presented. I feel sure that the founders of this association

also spent a lot of time in prayer formulating plans for

operation of the association for their generation. Now our

generation has the privilege and obligation to continue

with plans in and beyond the 21st century. I read an

article several years ago that said the founders arrived at

the name by relating it to a group of beavers working

together to build a dam, or to repair one that was

damaged. In 1887 that would have been a very

appropriate name. However, 124 years later our changing

electronic world has made things different. People under

the age of 35 do not relate to the work of beavers, but

they do relate to networking. Tonight I heard on the radio

that 75% of people who obtain jobs today do it through

networking. I want to conclude by reminding you of God's

word in Isaiah 43:18-19 "Remember ye not the former

things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do

a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?

I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the

desert.". She challenged messengers to build on the

history of our forefathers by approving the name change

to Greater Oconee Baptist Network.

Alvin Burdette stated Spartanburg County Baptist

Association had changed its name to Spartanburg County

Network.

Motion was made to call for the question. There was

a second. Ken stated the motion was on closing debate.

Vote was taken by raised ballots, and motion to end

debate passed by unanimous vote.

Ken said the vote would be on the motion that the

name of the association be changed from Beaverdam

Baptist Association to Greater Oconee Baptist Network.

Two-thirds vote in favor of the motion is required to pass.

Vote was taken by raised ballot and it was the

determination of the moderator and parliamentarian that

the motion failed because there was not two-thirds in

favor of the motion.

9. Stewardship Team – Proposed 2011 Budget. Don

Bickers referred to the budget printed on pages 6-9 of the

Book of Reports. He expressed appreciation to the

Director of Missions and office staff for putting the budget

together, and recognized those who served on the

Stewardship Team: Ray Allen, Helen Westmoreland,

Nancy Carter, James Dyar, Allen White and Roger

Honea. He also thanked twenty-seven churches for

increasing contributions to the association this past year,

and encouraged other churches to consider an increase

this coming year. The Proposed 2011 Budget totals

$241,759, a decrease of $1,985.00 or .82% under the

2010 Adopted Budget. The budget was presented at the

October 4 Executive Board meeting for discussion. On

behalf of the Stewardship Team, Don moved the adoption

of the proposed 2011 Budget. Vote was taken and the

budget was adopted.

10. Preacher/Place Committee. Report for 2011

Annual Sermon

Rev. Randy Koon, Pastor, Mountain Rest Baptist Church

As I contemplated what to share with you tonight, I

thought about our theme "Impacting Oconee", and I

thought about what does that mean to most of us? Does

that mean organizing a crusade? Does it mean changing

the name of our association, or reorganizing? What does

it really mean to Impact Oconee? Sometimes we hear

terms and we assume we know what they mean, but

sometimes we really don't. It reminds me of a story I read

about a preaching class in a seminary. In preaching class

you learned how to exegete the text, organize your

message, make application, just all these rules and

standards of procedure that you're supposed to go by.

This class heard that there was going to be a famous

revival preacher coming into the city to preach a crusade.

The professor assigned the class to go and listen to the

revival preacher and then come back and make their

observations. So the class went and heard him the first

night that he preached, When they came back to class

the next day, the professor called on one of the students

and said, "What did you think of the preacher?" The

student with an obvious air of disdain said, "Why, there

wasn't much at all—all he did was stand up and say come

to Jesus." Looking around the room the professor saw

that most of the other students were in agreement with

that attitude. He asked this question, "Did they come?"

The student thought a minute, looked a little bit shook and

said, "Well, yes they did, by the hundreds." The professor

said, "You go back, and you observe that preacher, and

you follow him until you can say ‘come to Jesus' and

they'll come."

When we think about Impacting Oconee County, that

is what we want to do. We want to say ‘come to Jesus'

and see people come. A few years ago I came across this

passage of scripture as I was reading through the Bible.

For a number of years I would read through the Bible

every year in a different translation. It's amazing how

many things you can pick up by reading the Bible in

different translations, when you see familiar passages

that you've seen a dozen times reworded just a little bit,

all of a sudden they will jump out at you. Turn to Isaiah

28:23-to the end of chapter. "Give ear and hear my voice,

Listen and hear my words. Does the farmer plow

continually to plant seed? Does he continually turn and

harrow the ground? Does he not level its surface and sow

dill and scatter cummin and plant wheat in rows, barley in

its place and rye within its area? For this God instructs

and teaches him properly. For dill is not threshed with a

threshing sledge, nor is the cartwheel driven over

cummin; but dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with

a club. Grain for bread is crushed, indeed, he does not

continue to thresh it forever. Because the wheel of his

cart and his horses eventually damage it, He does not

thresh it longer. This also comes from the LORD of hosts,

Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom

great."

What drew me to these verses as I was reading

through the Bible, Verse 24 in the Living Bible says "does

a farmer plow and plow and never plant" and it's like my

eyes opened. I thought about all the things we do as

churches. As Southern Baptists, I am proud of the

resources we have. I don't think there is another

denomination on the face of the earth or in all of the

history of Christianity that has more resources available

for us to reach the world with the gospel than Southern

Baptists do. Unlike a lot of people I was not born a

Southern Baptist. I am Southern Baptist by choice. I will

have to say that there are times when I get irked with our

denomination. Sometimes we think that the acquiring of

resources is what we're all about. We're like the farmer

who plows and plows and never gets around to planting.

You can be a farmer in the United States with the best

education that the best agricultural college in the nation

could give you; you can have the finest farmland and the

best equipment there is; and if you never put seed in the

ground, you are never going to harvest a crop. A little

poor farmer in Africa with a pointed stick and a bag of

seed is going to have more harvest than you do.

As we look at this passage of scripture, there are

three things here we need to have to if we're going to

have a harvest. If we're going to Impact Oconee County

for the Kingdom of God, there are three things that we

have to keep in mind.

The first is, we've got to plant the seed. It seems

obvious. I imagine a lot of people have been farmers or

come out of farm families, and you shouldn't have to say

you have to plant the seed in order to expect a harvest.

But If you look at churches today, even in a church that

has the best programs, who has Biblical preaching from

the pulpit every Sunday, more often than not they look

like barns that are full of seed in the midst of fields that

are empty. The seed does no good if it stays in the barn.

It has to be put out in the field. You can cultivate your

fields, go out and build relationship with the people, you

can minister to the needs of people in your community,

but if you don't share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with

people who do not know him, there will be no harvest.

That is something it seems like sometimes we've

forgotten. We have mission organizations that do

Page 22

everything in the world but missions. We minister to

people, we do wonderful things in Jesus' name, but we

don't share the Word. We don't share the Gospel, and our

fields are empty.

Second, we have to know our field. I have been a

pastor for 20 something years. I've read Rick Warren,

Cymbala, been to T-Net conferences, but I finally realized

after a while, every year somebody comes out with a new

book or new program that is going to save the church. I've

come to realize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach

to reaching people with the Gospel of Christ. The people

who are writing those books did not grow their churches

by following somebody else's book. What they did was

they studied their field, and they sought God's guidance

on how to reach the people where God had put them. In

Oconee County we have a lot of different fields. The field

at Seneca Baptist Church is not the same field as

Mountain Rest Baptist Church, and we will not reach

people the same way in Mountain Rest as they reach

people in Seneca. We will reach with the same

seed—there is only one seed and that is the Gospel of

Jesus Christ. But any farmer knows all fields are not

planted the same way. You can't plant that rich bottom

soil the same way you do that rocky hillside soil, not if you

want a good harvest. Each one of us needs to stop

looking for a book or program that tells us how to reach

people for Christ. We need to learn our field, we need to

be familiar with the people among whom God has planted

us, and reach them appropriate to who they are. Jesus

talked about different kinds of soil. There was a sower

who went forth to sow, and sowed on the rocky soil,

thorny soil, good soil and hard soil. In each case there

was a different crop: some a small crop, some no crop,

some a big crop. A lot of times we give a lot of attention

to those pastors and churches who just happen to be

planted on that really good soil. They're in an area where

there's a growing demographic, and if they do their work

right, then they reap a hundred fold. Sometimes we

neglect the bi-vocational pastor that God has placed on

rocky soil, who works hard and faithfully for only a small

return. He's no less faithful to the task that God has given

him. Not every part of Oconee County is going to respond

the same, but if we know our field, we can maximize the

harvest because we will reach people with the appropriate

method. I'm all for reading the books and learning from

each other, but if we don't know our field, we won't know

what to apply.

Third, we need to know how to preserve the fruit. At

the end of the passage He talks about the difference

between what you do with dill and cumin and wheat. What

it's saying is, you don't treat all fruit the same. If you dig

potatoes, if you want to keep them, you have to store

them in a nice, cool, dry, dark place and they'll last all

winter. Try that with peaches. Just as a one-size-fits-all

approach to reaching people doesn't work, a

one-size-fits-all approach to discipleship does not work

either. Henry Blackaby's work, Experiencing God, which

is one of the best tools I've encountered in my ministry,

says if you want to see where God is taking your church,

see who God is bringing into your church. Too often, even

when we're successful in going out into the field and

sowing the seed and bringing in the crop, we just let the

fruit ruin because we're not taking people and making

them productive disciples of Jesus Christ. We try to treat

everybody the same.

I have to confess, I'm a Food Network junkie -

sometimes pastoring a church is a lot like being a chef:

you take different ingredients and put them together for a

positive result. Too often we'll get a recipe that looks

really good, go to the cupboard, but don't quite have the

same ingredients so we try to substitute some of them.

Once in a while it works and sometimes it's even better,

but most of the time it's kind of disappointing when you try

to make one ingredient work for another that's supposed

to be there. Don't we do that a lot of times in our

churches? Don't we approach doing church as trying to

get people to fit our program? It's working great at that

church over there. If we could just get that program over

here and get people in it– but we don't have the people

that they have over there. There's a program on Food

Network called "Chopped". The wonderful thing about that

show is that chefs are given a basket of mystery

ingredients that are sometimes the strangest combination

of ingredients you ever saw. They're given 20 minutes or

half an hour to produce a chef quality dish that's going to

be judged, and they have to use all of those ingredients.

That is a perfect analogy of what we're doing in the

church. God gives us the ingredients, God brings the

people into our church. They don't always fit the recipe. If

we take those ingredients, take those people God has

brought our way and let them use their gifts and talents

and abilities, and put them to work for God's kingdom,

then we're going to have a successful ministry. We are

going to have a successful church.

One of the delights I have as a pastor is seeing

people discover that God can use what they do. They

may not be a Sunday School teacher, or may not be able

to sing in the choir. I've discovered in my life that there's

not one ability that God has given me that He does not

use in ministry. I have a really varied education. I started

off at an engineering school, went through four colleges

at Georgia Tec. I started off in physics, went to industrial

Page 23

engineering, industrial management, industrial design,

dropped out of school, took nursing for a year, was out of

school for 6 or 7 years, went back to school and got a

degree in religion because God called me to preach.

There's not one thing in all of the things I learned in all

those other areas that God has not used. People in the

church more than anything else need to know that God

can use them, that they don't have to become something

else or be like somebody else for God to use them. It's

exciting to see people discover ministries. There are two

ways to have ministry in your church: push it down from

top and recruit people to do it, or you can let God speak

to them, and then encourage it and support it. The second

way is the most rewarding because people in the church

will find ministries and do things that you couldn't force

them to do.

I'd like to close with a story that I came across that I

think expresses the importance of each one of us in this

battle, and we are in a battle. I was at the pastors' policy

briefing a few weeks ago in Columbia, and one of the

statements that was made there really struck home with

me. It said that in our country today it is not a political

battle, it is a spiritual battle. We are battling for the soul of

our nation. In the story that I came across from World

Ward II, in the European theater a lot of the work of the

war was done by bombers and bombing missions.

Bombing missions were very dangerous because there

was a lot of anti-aircraft fire. A squadron was sent on a

bombing mission over Poland, and they were warned

there would probably be a lot of anti-aircraft fire, but

somehow they avoided all that. Everything was

uneventful, and as they got to their target, they were able

to make a successful bombing run. But on the way back

they ran into intense anti-aircraft fire; the flack was just

exploding all around them. One of the bombers thought

it felt like they'd been hit several times but for some

reason there was no explosion, and they were able to

make it back to base. When they got back to base they

found, upon examination of the aircraft, they had 7

unexploded shells that had lodged in the fuselage of that

plane. So they called out the ordinance squad and they

came out and were able to get those shells out of the

plane and went to defuse them. When they opened them

up, they found out there were no explosives in them. In

each one was a little rolled up piece of paper with some

words in Polish written on them. They scrambled around

and found someone to translate those words.

In World War II, when the Nazis invaded Poland they

took over all of the factories and turned them into

armament plants and conscripted the local men to make

arms for the Nazi war machine. They had no choice: it

was either that or they would kill their families or them, or

send them to prison. So while war the war was raging,

these men were there working in the factory for the

enemy. But they found a way to be a part of the war.

Because when the words on those pieces of paper were

translated, it said "This is all we can do for now." At great

risk to their lives, they were putting those pieces of paper

instead of explosives into those shells, and saved the

lives of probably many of those who were flying the

bombers overhead.

If we want to impact Oconee County for the Kingdom

of God, we're going to have to be like those workers.

We're going to have to do what we can for now.

REPORTS

DIRECTOR OF MISSIONS, David Shirley

What a joy it has been to serve as your Director of

Missions for the past seven months. I want to thank each

of you for helping make this transition back to Oconee

County such an enjoyable experience. After serving as a

Pastor for the past 20+ years, one of my greatest

concerns in accepting this new position as your Director

of Missions was a fear of not having many opportunities

to preach. Boy was I wrong! Since starting this new

chapter in my life on March 8, 2010, I have had very few

Sundays in which I didn't have an opportunity to share

God's Word somewhere. I want to thank the churches and

Pastors of the Beaverdam Baptist Association for the way

in which I have been received. I also want to express my

sincere appreciation to Brenda Barnes and Cathy

Schneader for helping to make my transition to this new

ministry responsibility such a blessing!

In the past seven months we have diligently sought

God's will, God's wisdom and God's direction concerning

the future direction of the Beaverdam Baptist Association.

Over these past few months we have also cast a new

vision for the Association - one that involves making a

commitment to "Impact Oconee" with the Good News of

Jesus Christ!

The Restructuring Committee of our Association has

been diligently working for approximately four years

considering ways that the Association can best serve its

member churches. Over those four years the committee

has studied, strategized and held town hall meetings to

hear from the churches. At the July 2010 Executive Board

meeting this committee recommended changes to the

organizational structure and operation of the Association.

Their recommendation was approved unanimously. The

recommendation of this Committee streamlined the

organizational structure and more clearly defined the roles

and responsibilities of each of our ministry teams. I want

to express my appreciation to those who served on that

Committee for their many hours of service.

In August 2010 we held our first meeting to begin

making plans for the first Countywide / Associational

Stadium Crusade which will be held in the fall of 2011 at

the Seneca High School Football Stadium. Crusade

Services at the High School will be held Sunday evening

through Wednesday evening. We ask all of our churches

to move their Sunday evening and Wednesday evening

services to the Stadium. Phil Henry, Pastor of Rocky Knoll

Baptist Church in Walhalla, has been elected as

Chairman of our Crusade Committee for 2011. John

McKnight, Pastor of Hepsibah Baptist Church in Seneca

will be serving as Vice Chairman. Our goal is that all

sixty-nine churches affiliated with the Beaverdam Baptist

Association would come together and with God's blessing

hopefully see hundreds of people come to faith in Jesus

Christ! Our intent is to then plug those new believers into

churches throughout our Association to be nurtured and

discipled. My prayer is that the churches of the

Beaverdam Baptist Association would come together and

support this Crusade in order to "Impact Oconee" for

Christ!

In September 2010 seven people from our

Association took a vision trip to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The purpose of our trip was to discuss a possible ministry

partnership between the Beaverdam Baptist Association

and the Canada National Baptist Convention. I am so

excited about the door that God is opening up for the

churches of our Association in Canada. I also appreciate

those who were a part of this visionary trip: Brad Kelley

(Ebenezer), Steve Black (Scenic Heights), Phil Henry

(Rocky Knoll), Carl & Christian Krezdorn (Salem) and

John Watkins (Seneca). We will certainly be sharing more

about mission opportunities in Canada in the days ahead.

We have planned our first Beaverdam Baptist

Association Pastors/Wives Retreat for the weekend of

April 8-9, 2011. The retreat will be held at the Hyatt

Regency Downtown Greenville. The weekend has been

designated as a weekend of encouragement for all of our

Pastors/Staff Members and their spouses. I encourage all

Pastors and Staff Members to make plans now to be a

part of this wonderful weekend of encouragement! I am

thrilled that Dr. Don Wilton, Senior Pastor of First Baptist

Spartanburg has agreed to be our speaker for this retreat.

Dr. Wilton has served as Senior Pastor of the First

Baptist Church of Spartanburg for sixteen years. He also

serves as President of The Encouraging Word television

ministry. Dr. Wilton has served as president of the South

Carolina Baptist Convention. He is a frequent speaker for

the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association at the Billy

Graham Training Center at The Cove, as well as the Billy

Graham Schools of Evangelism held around the world. He

is a distinguished Bible expositor, a frequent guest of

other TV ministries and guest speaker and preacher in

many Bible conferences, state conventions, seminaries

and colleges across the nation.

As previously stated, my first few months serving as

your Director of Missions have been extremely busy. Over

these first few months I have been privileged to visit

several of our churches but I have also had the honor of

preaching in thirty-five worship services since March. I

have also had the privilege of meeting with three different

churches to conduct Pastor Search Committee Training.

I have also had the joy of leading in one weekend Deacon

Conference.

While the Beaverdam Baptist Association certainly

has a rich and wonderful heritage, I truly believe that

Page 25

some of our best days are still ahead. For us as an

Association to make an impact for the Lord Jesus Christ,

it will require our churches to come together as one,

realizing that we can accomplish far more together than

any of us can alone. It will also require a renewed

commitment to support the work of our Association - an

Association that truly desires to make a difference for

Christ and to be relevant in the day in which we live!

DISASTER RELIEF, Bill Alexander

The Beaverdam Disaster Relief Team continues to

grow. We have responded to many different types of

disasters in the past twelve months. This year has

brought thirty new team members, and three more

churches to be part of our Beaverdam Team.

Our association has a new DOM, who is a big

supporter of the disaster team and its work. David Shirley

will be trained soon, and ready to join our team. Fred

Astin our former DOM retired, but still is an active team

member. Fred received "The Charles H. Ward" award last

year for his many years of service to the disaster relief

team. Freida Andreu of the Mountain Rest Baptist Church

received the “Volunteer of the Year” award for her hard

work in Texas. We are proud of these Award winning

members – keep up the good work.

Our DR team again this year was able to help the

Salvation Army with their Christmas Kettle fundraiser.

Last year out of thirty-six groups, we were ranked sixth in

donations received. This year out of forty groups, we were

ranked second in donations received. That is GREAT,

GOOD JOB TEAM.

We had several team members who participated in

our local Christmas Parades. We entered our Disaster

Relief units in many of the county’s parades, with

members handing out information about the Disaster

Relief Team, and Beaverdam Baptist Association.

In October 2009, two mud-out teams responded to

the flooding in Georgia. The first team went to the

Douglasville area with David Mahn, John Bailey, Jim

Blackstone, and Tom Haslam working hard to help

several families. The second team responded to

Lawrenceville and team members were Robbie Lee, Trent

Callaham, and Bill Alexander. Trent and Robbie also were

part of an assessment team which went earlier to assess

the damage from the flood.

In January Utica invited the DR team to their

Sportsman’s Expo at Garrison Arena. We took both units

and set up inside the arena. Several people came by and

asked questions.

Libby Neil at Seneca invited DR to bring the trailer

over on Family / Organization night and show to the GAs.

Thanks to Libby for inviting us.

Lydia invited the DR Team to speak to the church. Bill

Alexander, Charlie Ward, BA & Freida Andreu and

Robbie and Kristi Lee participated.

Early this year a 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit the

country of Haiti causing a huge disaster. Beaverdam

churches joined with thousands of Southern Baptist

churches in feeding the people of Haiti through a project

called BUCKETS OF HOPE. The idea for the project

came from the Florida Baptist Convention. Beaverdam

churches put together 328 buckets. The total for SBC

church was 155,000 buckets. Around 70,000 buckets

have been given to the people of Haiti so far.

Not long after the earthquakes hit Haiti, an 8.8

magnitude earthquake devastated parts of the country of

Chile. Two members of the Beaverdam DR Team joined

a state disaster team that traveled to Chile. Robbie Lee

and Keith Kelley left Greenville, Spartanburg airport with

16 other team members. When they arrived in Chile they

split into three smaller teams. Keith and Robbie served on

the same team in Talca, Chile, population approximately

200,000, and worked in the city for eight days building

eleven “media auguas”, which stands for half shelter.

These shelters were 10 feet X 20 feet two-room kit

homes, which took about 8 hours to complete. During the

time Robbie and Keith were there two people accepted

Jesus as their Savior.

In the spring we scheduled a workday to give new

members some hands on training. Tom Moxley taught

chainsaw maintenance, and how to sharpen the chain.

Robbie Lee trained team members on how to operate a

track-hoe. We sometimes use heavy equipment to help

with the clean up. Bill Strickland demonstrated the proper

way to safely operate a chainsaw, and how to use safety

equipment, champs, helmet, ear, and eye protection.

Over 25 members took part in this training. I would like

thank Jimmy and Kim Padgett for letting us use their

property for this training, and for providing lunch for all of

us.

Our mud-out team was activated for flooding in

Nashville, Tennessee. Randy McManamay was going to

lead the team, but we were told to stand down.

Ken Varner joined a 7-member team from Greenville

that went to Rhode Island on May 15-21, 2010. They did

great work and represented Disaster Relief by completing

eleven mud-out jobs in four work days. The following

letter from one of the Rhode Island flood victim families

who benefitted from their sacrifice says it all.

“To the Angels who came into our lives and rescued us:There does not seem to be enough words in the English

language that could properly describe our appreciation forwhat you all have sacrificed. To travel away from yourhomes, and families, and aid complete and total strangers,without looking for praise, or acknowledgment, and in a world

Page 26

full of those who feel entitled to compensation for all of theiracts in life.

My husband and I and our children stand before you withour hearts full and with only words that seem too simple,such as Thank You. This of course does not seem as thoughit could possibly be enough. But that is all we have to offer atthis point in our lives since suffering from the devastatingdisaster which has occurred.

You will forever be in our thoughts and prayers, as wepick up the rest of the pieces of our home and lives. Ourmemories of all of you and what you have done will beforever with us, and we will spread the word of goodness andGod, and maybe we will be able to raise money in our localcommunity to further your cause some day down the road.You coming into our lives has made us better human beingsand someday it will be our turn to help. We thank you foryour work ethic, your steadfast encouragement, and yourbelief in God. There are angels among us and we are trulyblessed.

Please extend our appreciation to all that haveorganized this wonderful team, and to the children whosupplied fresh water and notes of prayer andencouragement. Please thank your families for us forallowing you to be away from them, and know that withoutyou all, we would be lost. Please have a safe trip home, andmay GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!! “

We have had a great year in disaster relief. Our team

is made of many great workers who are willing to get

involved. We invite you to be part of this caring team. We

thank all the churches for their support, and for their

prayers.

OCONEE STATE PARK CHAPLAIN MINISTRY, Tony

Grant (Rocky Knoll), Associate Pastor

"We've Never Done It This Way Before"

A phrase that strikes fear into the hearts of most

church leaders aptly described the ministry at the Park

this year. After several years of struggling each year to

find someone to lead the Park ministry, our Association

made the decision to delete the funding for this ministry.

This ministry also received funds from the State

Convention budget. So, heading into the camping season

we were facing the unpleasant task of informing the Park

that there would be no chaplain ministry this year.

But then I received a call from Brenda Barnes. She

knew the heart that I and others, including herself, have

for that ministry. She asked if I would be willing to try to

coordinate some type of ministry there for the summer. So

the Association mailed out letters to all our churches

asking for groups to go up and provide Bible clubs for the

kids and I met with the superintendent concerning the

Sunday morning services. We were able to work out a

plan to cover all the Sunday's from Memorial Day to Labor

Day.

I would like to thank Seneca Baptist, Cross Roads

(Westminster) and Rocky Knoll for taking groups to the

Park and providing Bible clubs for the children. I apologize

if there were others that I was not aware of. A group of us

from Rocky Knoll provided the preaching for the Sunday

morning services, including myself, James Pettit, Jeremy

Sanders and Larry Belcher. Also, Jacky Wooten from Mt.

Freedom helped at several services by leading the music.

The Park environment has undergone change in the

last few years. With the advent of the reservation system

by computer, there are not as many campers during the

week as there once was. The downturn in the economy

has also affected the number of campers during the

season. But I want you to know that there is still plenty of

Page 27

opportunity to minister in the name of Jesus to those that

are there. I want this to remain an Associational ministry

instead of being a Rocky Knoll ministry. We will be having

meetings through the winter to discuss how we can

enhance this ministry. Please be praying about how your

church can help share Jesus with those that come to the

Park. Jo Anna White, the park superintendent, is very

adamant about wanting to see this ministry continue. And

you know what, so am I!!

WOMAN’S MISSIONARY UNION, Marilyn Jones

Our Fall Leadership Training was held on Monday,

August 24, 2009. We welcomed 95 ladies from 23

churches. At our 5:30 session we learned about a new

mission opportunity here in Oconee County. Julian Davis

shared the goals of “Our Daily Rest”, the shelter for the

temporarily homeless, and how we could be involved.

Leadership conferences were offered for each age

level in WMU and a book study for those who were not in

a leadership position. We appreciate New Hope Baptist

Church for being such wonderful hosts and for letting us

use their facilities.

Thanks to all the churches who were involved in the

Weeks of Prayer, “We're Here for You”, preparing 757

prisoner packets and all the many ministry projects

throughout the year.

Our associational Leadership Team cooked and

served turkey dinner for 140+ Clemson Baptist Collegiate

Ministry students last Thanksgiving. We appreciated

several of our churches who helped us with the food as

the crowd increased.

We were so pleased to be asked to help with the

reception for Rev. David Shirley on February 1, 2010.

This was a special night for our association to meet Rev.

Shirley and after the vote to welcome him as our new

Director of Missions. Rev. Shirley and his family became

a part of our Beaverdam family that night. Remember

them as he leads and lift them up in prayers daily.

The WMU Spring Meeting was held on March 29,

2010 at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church with 100 ladies and

men in attendance. Our ladies brought items for the

Foothills Pregnancy Crisis Center and monetary

donations of $150.00 for Our Daily Bread. The WMU

Leadership Team was elected for 2010-2011.

Our theme was "Bragging Rights" and Donna Britt,

SC WMU Representative, gave churches time to share

one of the ministries their church had been involved in this

last year. We all had ideas to take back to our WMU

groups. There was a spirit of working together in WMU as

we felt a bond of love as we pray, give and go as Christ

commanded.

Certificates of Recognition were given to many of our

churches. Mountain Rest and Pleasant Ridge received

recognition from SC WMU for meeting the requirements

for Triple A. Mt. Freedom, Pleasant Ridge, Seneca,

Pleasant Ridge and Mountain Rest received certificates

for starting new age level organizations. These churches,

along with several others, also received certificates for

numerical growth. Congratulations and good job done to

these churches.

Alice Crocker who works with people groups in South

East Asia gave us an idea of working with the people

there. It was interesting that she was there when the

Tusunami hit and many doors were opened to minister to

the people. God does work in different way to open doors.

We just have to be ready to respond.

Thanks to each one who took part in the meeting and

to Area 3 and Pleasant Hill ladies for the bountiful tables

of food.

I have enjoyed serving on the Associational WMU

Leadership Team for many years and have met and been

able to work with so many friends of WMU. I have taken

advantage of opportunities that have come my way. We

all have opportunities and it is up to us to make our

choices of which ones we can do. I look forward to being

able to attend and participate in events that the new WMU

Director, Pam Scott, and the Leadership Team plan for

us. I would love to see you all in attendance as we share

our love for missions.

The Leadership Team is made up of women who

have different God given talents. We have one of the best

teams as we work together. I have depended on each one

to use their talents and creativity as we plan for WMU.

We also have the best office staff in the state with Brenda

Barnes and Cathy Schneader. As WMU Director

sometimes I get the credit but it is really the team and

office staff who deserve it. I can't wait to see what God is

going to do in Beaverdam with new leadership and

changes coming soon.

I appreciate Jackie Lemons on the SC WMU

Executive Board. We need to pray for her.

Baptist Women's World Day of Prayer - November 2,

2009 Consultants: Area 1 - Abigail King; Area 2 - Ruth

Canupp; Area 3 - Ann Yelton; Area 4 - Sarah King; Area

5 - Marian Alexander; Area 6 - Jackie Kelley.

On the first Monday in November Baptist Women in

130 countries gathered to pray for one another. Women

and men from Beaverdam Churches met to observe this

special day by "Seeing God's Creation with New Eyes."

The morning meeting was held at Cross Roads Seneca

with 65 in attendance representing 17 churches and an

offering of $223.32. The evening meeting was held at

Mountain View, Walhalla with 55 in attendance

representing 14 churches and an offering of $217.00.

We began our time of prayer asking God's

forgiveness for our sins against creation and our Creator,

and continued in an attitude of prayer as program guests

Page 28

reminded us of the work of Baptist women around the

world and their response to the needs of women and

children.

A special thank you to the host churches and program

leaders for their planning and preparation for this very

inspirational meeting. Thanks to Area 1 and Area 4 for

refreshments.

Missions Involvement Consultant, Lynne Elrod

School supplies were abundant at the 2009 fall

meeting. The WMU ladies from Beaverdam supplied

many children with the supplies needed to get them

through the school year. Collins Children Home,

Wilderness Way Girls Camp and the Boys Camp as well

as the Oconee DSS office were very appreciative of the

contributions.

The annual Souper Bowl held in February 2010 has

always been a huge success for our local food banks and

this year was no exception. A van loaded down with

non-perishable food items was welcomed by Rev. Crain

at Bethesda Ministries, filling their empty shelves with

goods. A generous monetary donation was also collected

and given to that ministry.

Foothills Pregnancy Crisis Center was again

showered with items for baby and mom this year at the

Spring Meeting. The staff was overwhelmed over the

much needed items to aid in ministering to individuals and

families coming to them for assistance. A monetary

donation was also taken and designated for Our Daily

Rest in Seneca.

Our association is blessed with compassionate and

sincere ladies ready and willing to serve the Lord in

whatever capacity to help in need. My prayer is that more

churches will become involved in the mission needs of

Oconee County.

Women on Mission Consultant, Janie Wilbanks

The Beaverdam Association WMU held their annual

Souper Bowl on Monday, February 8, 2010 at 6:30 p.m.

at Hopewell in Seneca. There were 29 out of 68

associational churches represented, with an additional 6

out of the association represented making a total of 169

present.

For the program, Scott Magley, of Mountain Rest

Baptist Church presented the music including a

congregational number, "Amazing Grace" which everyone

enjoyed. The song took on a new style with the guitar and

singing acappella. It was beautiful and moving. The

speaker for the program was Rev. Ken Reid, of College

Street Baptist Church. He was on the program to give an

update from the Association, but when the original

speaker could not be present, he filled in and did a superb

job.

The mission project for this meeting was for

Bethesda Ministries. Items of food were accepted with

many being brought by those attending as were monetary

donations. The total amount received was $227.02 in

cash and 465 food items.

Thanks goes to Lynne Elrod for delivering the food

and money after the event was over. Appreciation and

thanks goes to everyone who contributed time, food,

money and assistance in preparation of the meal;

decorations, serving, presentations, and clean-up so that

the Souper Bowl was a great success.

A special thank you goes out to all who helped from

Hopewell Baptist Church, Clara Kirby and her WMU team

for the cornbread and work done before, during and after

the Souper Bowl, Lynne Elrod for the stage decorations,

Ann Yelton and Jackie Lemons for help in the preparation

of the soup and table decorating, Mountain Rest Baptist

Church for the cakes. I personally want to thank the

Beaverdam Mission Center Staff for their help in printing

the program and mailing out information for me, and to

the Associational WMU Leadership team for their love

and support of our work during the year and at the Souper

Bowl.

Acteens Consultant, Kathy Burdette

Youth leaders, we are faced with so many obstacles

when working with teenagers. We are competing with

school, music, sports, clubs, just to name a few. Our job

is exciting as well as frustrating at times. Our county is so

diverse with rural and urban youth. It is so hard to plan an

activity that everybody will enjoy and have time for. It is

my hope that you as youth leaders are providing these

young people with Bible study and missions opportunities.

These are the future leaders in our churches. It is so

important that they be trained in what the Bible says and

then use that in reaching out to others through missions

activities. If we fail our youth in not providing these things,

we fail our churches and our country. Please make Bible

Study and missions a priority with your group.

Girls in Action Consultant, Libby Neil

GA and CIA kicked off the year with a bowling party

at Oconee Lanes in Seneca on September 12, 2009. The

GA/CIA theme for the year is "Getting Fit 4 God's

Mission!". To celebrate the theme, each group bowled

and shared healthy snacks. We discussed our theme

verse, Luke 2:52, "Jesus became wiser and stronger. He

also became more and more pleasing to God and to

people." Eighteen GA and CIA and leaders participated

in the event. We collected several bags of canned goods

for the Golden Corner Food Bank.

Girls in Action held a winter retreat on January 22-23

at Camp Hope in Pendleton. Ninety-nine girls and leaders

participated in the overnight event. Ken and Pat Varner

were the missionaries for the weekend. On Friday night,

they shared hand crafts and helped the girls find the year

of their birth on the Chinese calendar. On Saturday

Page 29

morning, they shared slides and their experiences as

career and short-term missionaries in Taiwan.

In addition to learning about Taiwan and Southern

Baptist mission work there, GAs did a local mission

project for the International Student Ministry, which is part

of the Baptist Campus Ministry at Clemson University.

The girls made 89 exam goody bags for international

students. Each girl made a special card with spring

flowers on it and prayed for the student who would receive

the goody bag. To continue our study of Taiwan, GAs

experienced the arts of paper cutting, knotting, and a

Taiwanese snack. Each girl made a card with a paper cut

snowflake and a knotted friendship bracelet. For our

Taiwanese/American snack, we enjoyed red bean ice

cream and chocolate chip cookies.

Lauren Owen and Kayla Sloan, Acteens from Earle's

Grove, led the girls in GA songs and skits. On Friday night

and Saturday morning, we celebrated with our birthday

missionaries by praying for them. Our Friday night

devotional focused on the importance of sharing Jesus

with our friends. Our focal verse was Matthew 18:14. Our

Saturday morning devotional focused on being open to

God's call on our life. The focal verses were Matthew

4:18-20.

February 20,2010, was Children's Ministry Day in

Southern Baptist churches and associations. Girls in

Action, Royal Ambassadors, and Children in Action from

Beaverdam churches participated in a county-wide day of

ministry to our community. Children and leaders met at

the Mission Center at 10:00 for prayer and their mission

assignments.

The children participated in 7 mission assignments.

Groups went to two different grocery stores, Bloom and

Hometown, to collect canned goods for Golden Corner

Ministries.

One group baked cookies and made cards at the

Mission Center. They then visited the Seneca Police

Department, Seneca Fire Department, and Our Daily Rest

to deliver the cookies and cards. Each location explained

their work and gave them a quick tour. Another group

visited with Foothills Pregnancy Care Center. They

learned about the ministry and worked in the clothes

closet. Another group visited Lunch 4 Life, a ministry

which feeds those in need in the Walhalla area. They

helped set up and clean tables, prepare take out plates

and entertained the workers and participants. After our

ministry opportunities, all groups returned to the Mission

Center for pizza and a time of sharing.

I want thank all leaders who brought their children to

the different Associational children's mission events. I

also want to thank Ken and Pat Varner for sharing their

mission experiences in Taiwan, Lauren Owen and Kayla

Sloan for sharing camp songs and skits, and each leader

who helped with the various events. I look forward to

another great year!

Pastors' Wives and WMU Directors Brunch

Committee, Imagean Wigington

The Pastors' Wives and WMU Directors Appreciation

Brunch was held at Open Door Baptist Church, Walhalla,

SC, Saturday April 17, 2010 beginning at 9:30 am. A total

of 48 persons were present which represented 24

churches.

Marilyn Jones, Associational WMU Director,

welcomed everyone and Paige Welch, Pastor's Wife,

Pleasant Ridge gave the opening prayer. A delicious

brunch was enjoyed by everyone. After the brunch Jo Ann

Bryson, Associational WMU Leadership Selection Team

and Pastor's Wife, presented the prayer calendar. For the

special music, Abigal King, Area 1 Missions Growth

Consultant and retired Pastor's Wife, sang: "There Is A

Savior". Brenda Barnes, WMU Director at Poplar Springs,

introduced Rev. David Shirley, Director of Missions, as

the guest speaker. Rev. Shirley presented a humorous

topic: "Funny Church Stories". The benediction was given

by Janie Wilbanks, Associational Women on Mission

Consultant, Mountain Rest.

Thanks to Open Door and all the ladies who had a

part in decorating and preparing food for the delightful

brunch and fellowship. A special thanks to Rhonda

Barker.

“WE'RE HERE FOR YOU” - Mountain Rest Baptist

Church, “Great Big Love Loud Giveaway"

On Saturday, November 7, 2009, Mountain Rest

Baptist Church observed the “We're Here For You” Day

by having what we called a "Great Big Love Loud

Giveaway". Because of the excellent publicity done by

Janie Wilbanks and Julie Obregon, the people began

arriving as soon as the doors of the church were opened

at 9:00 am. The guests were greeted and registered by

hosts and hostesses. If they had specific prayer requests

for which they wanted prayers for at that time, a hostess

took them to the prayer room where the pray-ers (a man

and a woman) greeted them and prayed for them. After

that they were invited into the Fellowship Hall where they

enjoyed cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate.

The hostesses then directed them to the nurses who

took their blood pressure reading; and some individuals

were referred to their doctors. The next stop was vision

screening which was done by the Salem Lions Club, and

there were referrals there made to the Walhalla Lions

Club for assistance to those who needed further

screening. The Red Cross personnel told about

precautions relating to H1N1 Flu and disasters.

The GAs were organized to explain each bead that

goes on a salvation bracelet, and the explanations were

Page 30

made as each individual made their own bracelet. The

children were treated to face painting by the Acteens.

At this point, they were invited to visit the room that

contained children's toys, games, puzzles, and books.

The last station before returning to the Fellowship Hall for

hot dogs and colas was the clothes closet. There were

clothes for men, women, and children with a large rack of

winter coats. There was no limit to the amount each was

able to choose.

A hairdresser from the Methodist Church was able to

do 28 haircuts from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm, which was a great

service to those attending this event.

As the people left, they were invited to take some

firewood with them if they were in need.

At the next Sunday evening prayer meeting, all the

prayer requests made at registration were prayed over.

That Sunday morning many of the members testified that

they had experienced God's love as they "loved loud" on

those who came. Many of the church members donated

clothes and drinks that were not able to be there, but at

least 55 people were available on that day to assist.

We also passed out a large number of Bibles, as well

as, the gospel of John.

We served 48 families which meant we served

around 175 people.

YOUTH - SEE YOU AT THE POLE, Chad Carroll

We had 127 people show up for our West-Oak Area

“See You At The Pole” Rally on September 19, 2010 at

West-Oak Middle School. It seemed that just about

everyone there was from a West-Oak area school, with a

few OCA and Seneca students.

Churches represented: Calvary Church of God,

Clearmont, Earle’s Grove, Foothills Community, Grace

Baptist, Hepsibah, Lydia, Mt. Pleasant, Oakway

W esleyan, Rock Hill, Welcome, W estminster,

Westminster First, and 5 participants who did not list a

church affiliation.

CHILDREN’S CAMP, Jeremy Garrett

Children’s Camp for 3 through 6 grade studentsrd th

was held at White Oak Conference Center in Winnsboro,

SC from August 2-6, 2010. The theme was “The

Encounter”. Camp Pastor was Joel Hendricks. Sara Long

led worship for the week. There were 6 first time

commitments to Jesus during the week and many

rededications. Not only were campers’ lives changed, but

the staff and adults also came away with a renewed

purpose to share our encounter with Jesus with the world!

Thank you so very much for supporting this fruitful

ministry.

SENIOR ADULTS, Martha Norwood

On January 19, 2010 at the Beaverdam Mission

Center, there were several Senior leaders who came out

for a craft morning. We came together to learn or share

ideas for what we can do with the seniors in our own

churches. There were 8 people and 5 churches there to

enjoy the morning. Refreshments were served after the

meeting.

The 12 Annual Senior Led Revival was held onth

March 15, 16 and 17, 2010 at Hopewell in Seneca. We

had three great speakers, Buddy Byars, Craig Canton,

and Fred Astin, who brought the message each day. If

you missed this year, you missed a great blessing! Total

attendance for the 3-day revival was 328 people. A light

lunch of sandwich, chips, dessert and drinks followed

each service.

On behalf of the Senior Adult Committee, I want to

thank each of you that came out and everyone that had a

part in making this possible.

The Fall Celebration was held on September 15,

2010 at Rocky Knoll. Eighty-seven Senior Adults attended

for a covered dish lunch which was wonderful. Each

brought a dish to share with the group along with fried

chicken.

Special music was presented by the On Star’s from

the Duke Power Plant, and was led by Lanny Wilkie, Mike

Crenshaw and “Fud” Cater (retired). Everyone really

enjoyed their music along with their singing very old

songs.

Thank you Pastor Phil Henry for all your help along

with others who helped out. Each person was asked to

bring a canned good for our food bank.

CAMPER'S SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE, Steve Black

(Scenic Heights), Jeremy Garrett (Westminster First),

Debra Miller (Westminster First)

An Encampment Fund was established in 1979 to

send "needy young people" of Beaverdam Baptist

Association to camp. Interest from a $10,000 trust fund

were designated for this purpose and a Camper's

Scholarship Committee was established to distribute the

funds.

This year, approximately $500.00 was available for

Camper's Scholarship from interest on the trust fund, and

$270 was awarded. Three applications were received for

children going to the BBA Children’s Camp. It was

determined that all three were eligible to receive a

scholarship, however, one applicant withdrew.

ORDINATION COUNCIL

We thank the Lord for men still listening and

responding to the call of the gospel ministry. The

Ordination Council was convened on November 21, 2009

at the request of Earle’s Grove Baptist Church to examine

a candidate to the gospel ministry. Brian Goss was

examined by the Council and received the

recommendation for ordination. He was called as pastor

at Lydia.

OCONEE COUNSELING CENTER, William G. George,

D.Min. LMFT, AAPC Fellow

This past year of ministry has seen an amazing

increase of sessions. Last year we had 178 sessions of

clinical care. This year we saw an increase to 262

sessions. This is a powerful testimony, not only of the

healing power of the Holy Spirit at work in our partnership,

but it is also clear evidence of the increased suffering that

families are experiencing with the economy’s impact on

the loss of jobs that is an overlay to the normal suffering

of wonderful Christian families and the pain that almost

always occurs when we lose our way in our faith journey.

The major expansion of sessions has come as hurting

people have been willing to come to Easley for care when

the schedule is full in Seneca. We provide the same

discounts for Oconee people in Easley that we provide

when the care is given in the Association office.

Last year I promised to give you a picture of the levels

of our fee structure. As you can see, we are able to give

the best care regardless of a person’s ability to pay: $0 -

35%; $19 - 6%; $25 - 30%; $75 - 2%; $100 - 7%;

Minister’s Counseling Plan - 5%; Insurance and Employee

Assistance Programs - 15%.

On a personal note, I will be retiring in May 2011.

However, it is my intention to continue providing

Page 32

counseling for the Pastoral Counseling Service in Seneca,

in our new site at First Baptist Church of Pendleton, and

in our Easley office for a total of three days per a week.

The blessings I have received and continue to receive

from our partnership in ministry are absolutely sacred.

RESTRUCTURING COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT

(Presented at July 12, 2010 Executive Board Meeting)Ron Potts (Hepsibah), Chairman, Jo Ann Bryson (Fants

Grove), Alvin Burdette (Mt. Pleasant), Scott Lee

(Clearmont), Laura Owens (Westminster)

The Restructuring Committee has been meeting for

approximately four years. We have considered many

ways that the Association can best serve its member

churches and fulfill its responsibilities as a collective

mission center. We've studied, strategized and held town

hall meetings to hear from our churches to best determine

the purpose and future direction of the Association. A lot

of changes to our current structure and operation will be

recommended in this report.

Some of those who worked on this committee over the

past four years served their appointed time and offered

great input during their service. No doubt I would surely

overlook some if I attempted to name them all but I would

express my most sincere appreciation for their time and

efforts. Most recently the following have served on this

committee and it is from them that these

recommendations have been made. Thanks to Pastor

Scott Lee, Pastor Alvin Burdette, Laura Owens, JoAnn

Bryson, Moderator Ken Reid, and Director of Missions

David Shirley.

From our town hall meetings the continuous thread

that ran through every meeting, without fail, was if the

Association was going to continue to exist, we must turn

our focus and commitment to missions. During that same

period of time our DOM Search Committee was

aggressively working and seeking God's man to lead us.

Overwhelmed by the resumes, they were drawn to

unanimously ask David Shirley to be our new Director of

Missions. David's heart is missions focused and that

along with his other leadership gifts immediately fit to the

direction the member churches believed we should go.

As we continued to move forward we were unaware

that by the time this report was being finalized, our own

Southern Baptist Convention would adopt the Great

Commission Resurgence Plan which will be an endeavor

to reach the lost for the sake of Christ. Without a doubt,

God commissioned every believer to be a faithful witness

and to reach the lost. I would challenge every church in

the Association to seriously consider becoming an Acts

1:8 church. Our Convention has encouraged this and any

church of any size can reach the goal and challenges.

During the time we have met we have had many

discussions on how to encourage the entire body of

churches to be involved in the Association. We realize

that the Association must effectively communicate to our

member churches, get the pastors’ support and

deliverance to the congregations.

There seems to be a lack of communication to and

from the member churches as well as the Association.

Dissemination of information to the congregations is of

utmost importance. We recognize the pastor is primarily

the “gate keeper” and he has to be informed and

encouraged to share with his people. The Association

needs to let the churches know of the successes as well

as the opportunities available.

We will encourage our member churches to give

reports of their mission projects that have transpired as

well as those that are being considered at the Executive

Board meetings and through the newsletter.

We encourage our member churches to extend the

invitation for other churches to join in the mission projects

and trips. This also could be funneled through the

Association, especially at the Executive Board meetings.

The Restructuring Committee listened to the churches

with regards to training opportunities and the Association

being a relevant resource. We anticipate future training

and leadership sessions will come from what the

churches are telling the Association they need. We realize

most churches can train their leadership without the

Association. However, there are other churches that

cannot, who may need the Association to better help them

in their fulfilling the Great Commission. As the DOM

continues to get to know the pastors from the member

churches, he also will be listening to the ways the

Association can help those pastors and their

congregations.

The Restructuring Committee recommends the

following:

1. After much consideration and prayerful thought we

believe the name of the Association needs to be changed

to better identify who we are. We have inquired with the

appropriate government entities, sought legal and

accounting advice, and received input from other sources

regarding the impact of changing our name. We were

considerate of the fact that some churches have named

the "Beaverdam Baptist Association" in their constitution

with regards to affiliation and in the event of dissolution.

Changing the name by an amendment to our constitution

and including the phrase "formerly known as the

Beaverdam Baptist Association" will prevent any of our

member churches having to address the matter in their

constitutions.

We are recommending changing the name to the

"Greater Oconee Baptist Network". The term "Greater

Oconee" says we are not limiting member churches to be

situated in Oconee County only. We already have at least

one church outside our geographical county and would

Page 33

anticipate more in the future. "Baptist" identifies whom we

are affiliated with as a denomination. "Network" is the

collective working of those churches involved with the

organization.

2. We recommend combining Administrative Support and

Standing Committees under one heading in our

organizational chart. These are the committees that are

permanently needed for the operation of the organization

(here forward referred to as "Network"). The committees

inc lude N ominating, Personnel, Stewardship

(budget/finance), Property, and others.

3. We recommend the Annual Meeting Committees,

which include the Preacher/Place Committee, Resolutions

Committee, and Program Committee, be placed under the

responsibilities of the Executive Committee. We believe

this will reduce a number of positions that are needed to

be filled each year by the Nominating Committee and that

the Executive Committee is more likely to be best suited

to make those decisions for recommendation to the

Executive Board.

4. Ad-Hoc committees are those who are needed to fulfill

a specified task. The current structure requires the

Moderator to make the appointments to the various ad-

hoc committees. Once that committee has completed its

assignment, it is dissolved. We believe consideration

should be given to allow the DOM, in addition to the

Moderator, to appoint ad-hoc committees with

concurrence from the Moderator. The DOM is our front

line man and is keenly aware of the need of special

committees that are needed throughout the year. This

action will need further consideration in the near future.

5. From the town hall meetings and after much

prayerful consideration we believe the restructuring of the

"teams" and "committees" will be what we are

commissioned to do for the glory of our Lord. We are

recommending the following three teams:

I. Leadership Team

This team will be a responsible resource to the Network

churches. They will be the ones who will investigate and

respond to the needs of the church leadership. They will

explore the resources available and will implement the

requested training. Leadership applies to every church

leader from the pastor to the Sunday School teacher, from

the secretary to the VBS director. In addition, if the

Network churches request training or information sessions

regarding a specific topic or issue, this team will be

responsible to respond to that need. This team should

have at minimum seven members.

II. Local Missions Exploration Team (Jerusalem)

This team will work with the DOM and Network churches

in exploring those opportunities for mission focused

projects throughout the Greater Oconee County area. (A

few considerations are included in the Proposed

Organizational Chart, but we are not yet committed to

these and are not limited to these.) The team will seek

information from Network churches involved in a local

missions project that want to extend the invitation to other

Network members to join in with them.

As mentioned earlier, our DOM has demonstrated a

tremendous heart for missions. We believe he has been

granted insight by our Lord to help us identify mission

projects that may not have been initiated by a member

church. The team will also work with him in seeking the

support and involvement by the member churches. The

team will be responsible to relay the opportunities to the

Network churches and relay the responses for the project

to the leading church or DOM. This team should consist

of no less than five members.

We are also recommending the Disaster Relief team

identify emergency projects within the Network area

where we can assist in specific times of need.

III. Missions Mobilization Team (Judea (State of

SC)), (Samaria (National)), and (Uttermost part of

the earth (International))

This team will explore with the Network churches that are

leading mission projects and trips beyond the

geographical area of county. They will work according to

the needs and invitations by the host church to seek

others within the Network who may be led to join in the

mission. It will require that the team clearly and promptly

compile and relay the information to the Network

members. The team will communicate with the Network

churches by educating and making aware of the need for

support and involvement in the mission project. The team

will also work with the DOM as he may be led to involve

the entire Network on a mission. This team should consist

of no less than five members.

While there are other committees that we have

constantly put into place over the life of the Association,

the Restructuring Committee realizes that many of them

are in place for the sake of having a committee. Many of

the committees did little or nothing throughout the year.

Often when asked what the committee tasks were, there

was no definition of the responsibilities for the committee

members. We realize this was unnecessary and

burdensome to the Nominating Committee. While we do

not want to dampen the opportunities for fellowship and

socializing, we believe all focus by the Network should be

on being the "relevant resource" for training and being

mission driven. Christ often took His disciple's aside and

taught them, training them for the missions ahead. But He

also commissioned His disciple to carry the Gospel

message to their surrounding homes and throughout the

world.

It is a new direction with a lot of change in the

current structure, but we believe this is firmly the direction

the Lord would have this "Association"/"Network" to go.

Page 34

The Restructuring Committee will make these

recommendations at the next Executive Board meeting

scheduled for July 12, 2010 at 7 p.m. The organization

restructuring recommendation affects only the Operations

Manual so it will be presented and voted on at the

meeting. The name change affects the Constitution, so

the name change recommendation will be submitted in

writing at this meeting as required by the Constitution,

“read and discussed” at the October Executive Board, and

voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Please review and prayerfully consider these prior to

the meeting. If you have any questions you would want

addressed, you may call the Association office or any of

the committee members.

RESTRUCTURING COMMITTEE REPORT - Proposed

Name Change (Presented Oct 2010)

Ron Potts (Hepsibah), Chairman; Alvin Burdette (Mt.

Pleasant); JoAnn Bryson (Fants Grove / New Hope);

Laura Owens (Westminster); Scott Lee (Clearmont)

The Restructuring Committee held various town hall

meetings made accessible to every member church

pastor and leadership. For those participating the

committee received a lot of input as to what the churches

wanted to see our Association do to be more effective.

During those meetings the committee also heard multiple

requests that the name of the Association be changed to

better identify where we are located and who we are as a

collective group of participating Southern Baptist

churches.

There is a lot of rich history with regards to the

churches of this county which have been a part of a

number of associations over the past 200 plus years.

The Restructuring Committee recommends that we

change our name from the Beaverdam Baptist

Association to the Greater Oconee Baptist Network.”

To explain our reason for this name we will identify

each part.

Greater - Because we have at least one church outside

the geographical boundaries of this county we

believe "Greater" can include anywhere outside of

the county.

Oconee - Identifies the county in which our member

churches are primarily situated and further alerts

others to where we are geographically in the state of

South Carolina.

Baptist - simply by denominational affiliation. However,

we should note for the record, that this

denominational name is a shortened identification of

each affiliated church as being a part of the Southern

Baptist denomination.

Network - "an interconnected or interrelated chain,

group, or system" (Webster's Seventh New

Collegiate Dictionary). The churches participating in

this body are definitely interconnected and

interrelated through Christ and His commission to all

believers, while each church body continues to

maintain its separate autonomy. The word

Association is also defined in the same source as “an

organization of persons having a common interest.”

We believe that the churches who participate with

this body are each interconnected with a common

purpose and driven focus to fulfill the Great Commission.

We also feel that as a Network we are moving beyond just

having a common interest in the efforts of this body and

each church being connected with the endeavors of the

body.

Beaverdam Baptist Association

October 25, 2010

To: Messengers to the Annual Meeting

From: Don Bickers, Stewardship Committee, Chairman

Subject: Proposed 2011 Budget

Please find attached the Proposed 2011 Budget that was presented at the October 4, 2010 Executive Board

Meeting. It was mailed to Executive Board members prior to the meeting, and members were encouraged to

contact me to discuss any item before the meeting. They were also given an opportunity to ask questions at the

Executive Board Meeting

The Financial Summary for January 1 through September 30, 2010 is also attached. Our income for this year is

down 2.8% compared with the same period last year, attributed to the economy as well as Mt. Tabor Anderson

returning to the Saluda Association. At last year’s Annual Meeting, churches were asked to consider increasing

their support to the association, and we are pleased to report that twenty-seven churches responded by increasing

their giving this year!

The Proposed 2011 Budget totals $241,759, a decrease of $1,985.00 or .82% under the 2010 Adopted Budget. The

decrease is the result of reductions in multiple line items in the Leadership Team, Mission Center Operation and

Personnel which offset increases in Local Missions Exploration Team and Missions Mobilization Team. Notable

highlights:

' Local Missions Exploration Team: Two new line items reflect our commitment to “Impact

Oconee”—Countywide Crusade and Countywide Evangelistic Events.

' Missions Mobilization Team: A new line item—Missions Mobilization Trip Expense—will cover some

expenses for the mission team, such as van rental.

' Personnel: With the decrease in income we were regrettably not able to give pay raises to our office

personnel for a second year, however, we did allow for health insurance increases. Compensation for the

custodian’s position has been decreased per the Personnel Committee’s recommendation based on what

industry is paying. The cleaning schedule will change from every week to every other week.

' Mission Center Operation: Significant adjustments were made resulting in a 14.79% decrease.

The Stewardship Committee would like to thank all the churches in our association for keeping associational

missions as a priority in our churches.

EXECUTIVE BOARD MINUTES

January 11, 2010

1. Call to order. Ken Reid (College Street), Moderator,

called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at the Beaverdam

Mission Center.

2. Scripture Reading and Prayer. Ken read verses from

Matthew 6, and talked about how God takes care of us.

When God has a plan, God has the provisions. What we’re

experiencing in transition time is that God still has a plan.

We’re worried about budgeting, and that’s appropriate, but

God has the provisions for all of us, including churches. He

led in prayer.

3. Recognitions.

A. New Executive Board Members were recognized:

Fred Astin (Old Liberty), interim pastor; Brett Myers (Corinth

W), pastor; David Kelley (Fants Grove);

B. International Mission Board. Utica was

recognized by the IMB as Top Giving Church, Beaverdam

Baptist Association, 2008 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering,

and a certificate was accepted by James Black (Utica) on

behalf of the church.

4. Minutes of October 5, 2009 Executive Board Meeting

and October 26, 2009 Annual Meeting were accepted as

printed.

5. Treasurer's Report. Eula Holland (Ebenezer) called

attention to the 4 quarter report, and gave a summary forth

2009. Net income for 2009 was 32,254.98, but if we had

paid a Director of Missions the full year, it would have been

(1,188.31). The report was accepted as information.

She encouraged treasurers and financial secretaries

to attend the Tax Update Conference on February 18 in

Greenville.

6. Ministry Team Reports:

A. Christian Development Team. Ron Potts

(Hepsibah) encouraged members to update their email

addresses with the associational office.

1) Vacation Bible School. Ron reported for

Jennifer Adams (Hepsibah) who could not attend. He called

attention to the VBS flyer. The Early Bird VBS Clinic for

pastors and directors will be February 16, and the VBS

Clinic for teachers and leaders will be April 22.

2) Discipleship. David Bagwell (Bethel) was

unable to be present due to illness.

3) Bible Drill. David Miller (Westminster First)

expressed appreciation to the leaders who helped last year.

One or two more churches are expected to participate this

year. In addition, we’ll be having high school youth drill,

which is a little more aggressive and requires a little more

skill. Mountain Rest will host the association drill, which will

be held before the State drill on April 24 in Anderson.

B. Church Development Team.

1) Music. Donnie Nix (Westminster) was not

present.

C. Church Extension Team. Randy Keasler

(Westminster) talked about extending the work of churches

and the need for developing new work – pockets of people

in areas that our churches are not reaching. There is a need

to look at multi-family housing ministry in the county. In

previous years the association has had a summer chaplain

at Oconee State Park, however, this year the park ministry

will be done by several churches on the mountain who will

work together.

Randy express thanks for the prayers, support and

offers of help following the fire at Westminster Baptist on

December 13. He thanked God for His providential care, and

commended Southern Mutual Church Insurance Company

for their handling of the claim.

1) Men’s Ministries. Clayton Justice (Chauga)

thanked everybody who participated in the Men’s Ministry

meetings last year. The next meeting will be February 2 atnd

6:30 p.m. at Poplar Springs. A host church is needed for

August. Also, an associational RA Coordinator is needed.

Although a lot of churches are going to other programs,

some churches still have Royal Ambassadors.

2) Disaster Relief. Bill Alexander (Cheohee)

called attention to the DR flyer and the Spring Training on

March 5 and 6 in Anderson. He encouraged current

members to attend and update their training and ID badge,

and those who are not members to get trained and join the

team.

He thanked DR volunteers for pulling the units in

Christmas parades, and ringing the Salvation Army Bell this

Christmas season. He gave statistics for this past year,

including 133 professions of faith.

He also expressed thanks to Charlie Ward for keeping

the trailer ready to go when there’s a callout, and for making

the new boxes for the small equipment on the block party

trailer. The trailer needs a little work done to it, and churches

who use the trailer are asked to donate for upkeep.

Ken Reid added another thanks to Charlie for the

Block Party trailer. He also asked that those who use it make

sure that the equipment is cleaned after use.

3) Woman’s Missionary Union. Marilyn Jones

(Westminster) reported that WMU has been focused on

praying, giving and going the last two months. The Baptist

Women’s World Day of Prayer was held at Cross Roads

Seneca and Mountain View in Walhalla. Ministries of all

kinds were done for “We’re here for you” day in November,

Mountain Rest’s Love Out Loud event was just one example.

Associational WMU Leadership Team, with the help of

several church WMU leaders, had the opportunity to prepare

and serve home cooked turkey and all the trimmings to 125+

students at Clemson BCM. Thirty-four churches collected

757 prisoner packets for prisoners, to be distributed to

Oconee Law Enforcement Center and SC Department of

Correction. Upcoming events are the GA Overnight at Camp

Hope, Acteens collecting canned food items for Golden

Page 45

Corner Food Bank, Children’s Ministry Day, and the Women

on Missions Annual Souper Bowl, Monday, Feb 8 at

Hopewell. Marilyn expressed thanks to churches for sharing

their facilities, and asked for continued prayer as we work for

the Lord.

D. Church and Society Team

1. Senior Adults. Martha Norwood (College

Street) called attention to the flyer for the Senior Adult

Workshop, which will be held January 19 at 10:00 a.m. at

the Beaverdam Mission Center. Leaders and workers of

Senior Adults are urged to be here and share ideas for

meetings, activities and crafts. The Senior Adult Revival

dates are March 15-16-17, 2010, and the Senior Adult Fall

Celebration will be held in September.

2) Youth. Chad Carroll (Clearmont) reminded

pastors and youth leaders that now is time to plan for

summer. He stated he is available to help churches who are

looking for youth ministers. Chad said sometimes it’s better

to do regional events to reach kids instead of associational

events, and is very comfortable with it in the West-Oak area.

Seneca is developing one. Four churches are investigating

interest in having a middle school camp (not a BBA camp).

If other churches are interested, contact Chad.

3. Children’s Camp. Kevin Morrison (Seneca)

reported Open Door will have a discipleship weekend for

children March 19 and 20. Plans are moving ahead for this

year’s Children’s Camp. Staff applications and camp

registration packets will be emailed to save on postage. A

Children’s Camp promo DVD was presented and copies

were made available to churches. Mike Worsham (Open

Door), Children’s Pastor, talked about how he had seen lives

changed through Children’s Camp, both as Recreation

Director at camp, and as a parent sending his children to

camp.

E. Prayer and Spiritual Awakening Team. Brian

Buckner (New Hope) was not present.

1) Evangelism. Joel Hendricks (Open Door) was

not present.

7. Reports of Support Teams and Standing

Committees:

A. Organization Restructuring Committee. Ron

Potts (Hepsibah) stated the committee has been in place for

three and one-half years and hopefully will be ready to make

a recommendation by the next Executive Board meeting. A

number of changes will be recommended, based on

information received at the town hall meetings regarding the

CALLED MEETING - February 1, 2010

Ken Reid (College Street), Moderator, called the

meeting to order at 7:00 PM at Seneca Baptist Church. The

purpose of the Called Meeting was to receive and vote upon

the recommendation of the Director of Missions Search

Committee.

Von Reynolds (Seneca), Pastor, welcomed

representatives, and read Matthew 7:7-11. He said we have

come together to honor God and give thanks, asking for His

guidance as we consider the recommendation for the person

to lead the association. He led in prayer.

Ken expressed appreciation to Seneca Baptist Church

for hosting the meeting, the associational WMU for the

reception, and Brenda Barnes and Cathy Schneader for their

work behind the scenes getting us prepared.

Michael Welch (Pleasant Ridge), Chairman of the

Director of Missions Search Committee, presented the

unanimous recommendation of the committee that David

Shirley be called as the next Director of Missions for

Beaverdam Baptist Association. He introduced committee

members James Black (Utica), Lynn Cox (Bethel), Niki Cook

(College Street) and Ray Allen (Reedy Fork), and gave them

an opportunity to speak.

Michael shared the search process and how God

brought them to this point. He stated they were not looking

for a man to fill the position, but a man called by God to call

the association to be mission minded, and they believe

David is that man, one who can draw people and churches

together. When the committee met with David, he shared

from his heart, and it matched what the committee had

agreed on.

David said he was honored and humbled to be

considered for the DOM position. The road was difficult to

get here, but he believes it is God’s will for his life. He

introduced his wife Kathy and daughters Dana, a senior at

Clemson, and Denise, a senior at Wade Hampton.

He shared his dream for the association, asking what

could we accomplish if churches came together in Oconee

County, not in competition but all on the same team, to make

an effort to reach the county for Jesus. He shared several

ideas — a county/association wide stadium crusade bringing

in a well known speaker, sports camps held throughout the

county, community block parties, missions and evangelism

right here at home, and partnerships developed here and

with other areas. He also shared his passion to be an

encourager to pastors, especially young pastors, to cry

together, and laugh together.

David said “God has great things in store for this

association, and better days are still ahead. We have to

define what we’re about, cast a vision, be relevant, and be

about God’s work and purpose.” David and his family were

excused from the meeting.

Ken stated the salary package that was approved in the

budget has not changed, and revisions to the job description

were approved at the January Executive Board Meeting. He

Page 47

opened the floor for questions and discussion, and called for

voting by raised ballots.

The vote on the election of David Shirley as the Director

of Missions of Beaverdam Baptist Association was called,

and he was unanimously elected.

David and his family were invited to rejoin the assembly

for a time of prayer, lifting up the association and asking God

to truly do something amazing.

Ken encouraged churches to pray about increasing

giving to the association $10 per week this year, and maybe

$15 next year to enable us to do more rather than being

stretched. We know this is God’s man, and it’s a new

direction and bright future. Let’s believe it with our pocket

books.

Ken led in prayer and the meeting was adjourned.

Registration: 32 churches. 61 Executive Board members.

23 visitors. Total present = 84.

April 12, 2010

moved that Michael Welch (Pleasant Ridge) be named

temporary moderator until the Vice- Moderator arrived.

Motion carried.

2. Scripture Reading and Prayer. Michael Welch read

Mark 2:1-23 about Jesus healing the palsied man, and said

a lot of people drive by our churches but need someone to

bring them inside. Someone like the four friends who went

up to the roof when the door was blocked. We need to think

outside the box and do whatever it takes to get the lost to

Jesus. He led in prayer.

Pastor; Ann Justice (Chauga); Pam Scott (Pleasant Ridge);

Ruby Roach (Cross Roads Westminster).

reported year-to-date income over expense, however, our

year-to-date contributions are down about 3.69% compared

with the same period last year.

7. Ministry Team Reports: Randy called attention to the

2 Quarter Calendar. nd

A. Church Extension Team. Randy Keasler

(Westminster) presented two items.

1) A letter has been received from Milton

Wilbanks, pastor of Belmont Baptist Church in Mountain

Rest, requesting admission in the association. Souls Harbor

will be their sponsoring church. Belmont was accepted under

watchcare for one year.

2) Randy talked about Associational Missions

Week, May 16-22, 2010, a time to focus on what the

churches of the association are doing together. This year the

Leonard Irwin Offering has been designated for Our Daily

Work, a ministry organized by Crawford Keese in downtown

Seneca. He is putting people to work cleaning up antique

bricks, and hopes to sell the bricks and construct a building

and put other people to work.

The association exists for us to come together and do

for the whole county that which no one church can do. There

are two things that keep us from working together: turfism

and community rivalry. This would be an opportunity for us

to come together and work where work is needed, an

investment that we could make as an association, a

beginning point to go where lost people are to expose them

to the gospel. He encouraged churches to take part in this

effort.

B. Men’s Ministries. Ann Justice (Chauga) requested

prayer for Clayton who was not able to attend due to health

issues. She gave his report, thanking Poplar Springs for the

last Men’s Meeting, and challenging everyone to bring a lost

person to the next meeting at Cross Roads Seneca.

C. Disaster Relief. Bill Alexander (Cheohee) reported

34 members updated their training at Anderson, and 32 new

members trained, bringing total DR membership to about

171, representing 40 churches. The DR team was

recognized on March 29 by the Salvation Army for beingth

the second largest money receiving group in the Bell Ringing

fundraiser — a good place to get out of the box, standing in

front of Wal-Mart, with the DR hat and shirt, opened the door

right away to witnessing.

A local hands-on training was held for our DR team

with classes on chainsaw cleaning and maintenance led by

Thom Moxley, operation of the trackhoe led by Robbie Lee,

and tree climbing led by Bill Strickland.

We have 2 DR members on a team going to Chili for

a 9 day trip, constructing 10 x 20 shelters, tin roof, no floor,

but it will keep them dry. Demolition and rebuild teams will

be needed for the next 3 months in Chile and Haiti.

Due to the flooding in New England we have an

opportunity to go to Rhode Island, for a 7 or 8 day trip. We

will be sending out emails and alerts over the OneCall phone

system.

Our churches collected 328 Buckets of Hope, and they

should be getting to Haiti in the next week or so along with

over 150,000 from all over South Carolina.

D. Vacation Bible School. Jennifer Adams

(Hepsibah) reported on the Early Bird Clinic led by Sue

Harmon of SCBC, and announced the VBS Clinic at

Hepsibah. Lifeway’s VBS theme is Saddle Ridge Ranch.

She talked about plans to provide material and/or training on

leading children to Christ, and a parenting seminar.

9. Director of Missions Report. David Shirley thanked

members for the privilege and honor of serving as DOM. He

asked for continued prayer for him and his family.

During his first month he visited 7 churches, had

numerous preaching opportunities, led a Friday-Saturday

deacons retreat, attended the DOM conference at White

Oak and had numerous meetings. He also attended the

Senior Adult Revival at Hopewell, the Spring WMU meeting

at Pleasant Hill, and the Associational Bible Drill at Mountain

Rest. He and Bill Alexander met with Oconee Emergency

Preparedness regarding installing broadband all over the

county. Planning for several events is underway, such as the

Pastors / Wives retreat this fall, and a county-wide stadium

crusade in the fall of next year.

The final report of the Great Commission Resurgence

Task Force will be voted on at the Southern Baptist

Convention in June, and it is very important to pray about it

as it has the potential to drastically change our convention,

and seriously impact the Cooperative Program.

He met with Pete Blackaby who works with the

Canadian Baptist Convention to discuss the possibility of a

missions partnership. A vision trip is planned for September

27 - October 1, 2010. If interested, contact David.

The Oconee State Park is still open to our church

groups doing children’s ministry / Backyard Bible clubs on

Friday and Saturday, and Sunday worship in the Barn. Call

the association office for more information.

There will be a 5-K run in Westminster on May 22 to

raise funds to purchase an ultrasound machine and convert

Foothills Pregnancy Center to a medical facility. In 2008, 100

children’s lives were aborted in Oconee County. Statistics

say 90% of women who see their child on ultrasound will not

abort. Rod Lyda asked for sponsorship and participation

from every church for this effort.

David presented the video, Impacting Lostness,

featuring Oconee County town and sites. Population of the

county is 71,755, and is projected to grow 5% over the next

5 years. Twenty-five percent of the current population has no

interest in faith at all, that’s at least 18,000 people who need

Christ. Oconee’s unemployment rate is 14.9%, the second

highest of any county in the state. What we want to do is

impact our county from Mountain Rest to Fair Play, Newry to

Long Creek and everywhere in between – Impact Lostness.

We have forgotten what it's like to be lost. To the degree we

grasp lostness will be the degree that we're willing to do

whatever we need to do to penetrate it.

He shared his vision of taking ministry outside the

stained glass windows of the church, from the pew to the

pavement, finding folks right here in Oconee - Impacting

Lostness. What if when school starts, we got a list of every

teacher in Oconee. What if the churches shared those

teachers’ names, and every teacher had one person to pray

for them every day for a year, and once a month send a

card. School teachers would come to know the Lord. What

if we used that same strategy for law enforcement, and

every officer had one person praying for them every day,

and once a month got a card. Impacting lostness.

10. Other Business:

Randy Koon called attention to the brochure about

“Mission Dignity”, a ministry of the Southern Baptist

Convention that helps retired ministers, or their widows, who

do not have retirement income.

Von Reynolds (Seneca) announced 2 events at

Seneca: Dennis Swanberg, Friday, April 16 at 6:30 p.m., and

the Singing Churchmen, ministers of music from throughout

South Carolina, Monday, April 19 at 7:00 p.m.

1. Call to order. Ken Reid (College Street), Moderator,

presiding.

2. Scripture Reading and Prayer. Ken read Matt 6:25-

31. Birds don’t worry, and neither should we. Though the

economy has hit our churches causing concern about

income and expense, and some have cut salaries, our God

is God of all, and He is going to take care of us.

was held at Cross Roads Seneca. Dale Gilbert challenged

the men to not play church. The next meeting will be at

Corinth Westminster, and the speaker will be Sam Duncan,

pastor of Gethsemene Baptist Church. Men’s Quarterly

Fellowships are booked through next May.

B. Senior Adults. Martha Norwood (College Street)

announced the Senior Adult Fall Celebration / Picnic on

Tuesday, September 14, 10:30 am at Rocky Knoll on

Highlands Hwy. She asked Senior Adults to bring a can of

food to donate to the food bank.

7. Reports of Support Teams and Standing

Committees:

A. Organization Restructuring Committee. Ron

Potts (Hepsibah) presented the final report of the committee,

and expressed appreciation to the members currently

serving: Alvin Burdette (Mt. Pleasant), JoAnn Bryson (Fants

Grove), Scott Lee (Clearmont), Laura Owens (Westminster),

Ken Reid (College Street) and David Shirley, Director of

Missions.

Approximately 4 years ago the Restructuring

Committee was appointed to look at the structure of the

association to see if the needs of our churches and county

were being met, and what changes if any were needed. The

final report is a result of the voice and input of the churches,

especially during the town hall meetings.

Those attending the town hall meetings consistently

told the committee to "focus on missions" because that is

what we are commissioned to do. As the committee

considered that as the direction to go, the association called

a new DOM whose heartbeat is missions. Also the Southern

Baptist Convention considered and passed the Great

Commission Resurgence Report which challenges us to

present the Gospel message to every person in the world.

The Lord demonstrated His will that the time is NOW to get

our focus on missions.

Recommendation 1 - Name Change. The Committee

recommended changing the name of the association to

“Greater Oconee Baptist Network” to better reflect who and

where we are. “Network” says we are “working together”

rather than just being associated with one another. Because

this will require an amendment to our constitution, it will have

to be voted on by the messengers during the annual

meeting. If approved, the Committee recommends the

wording "formerly known as Beaverdam Baptist Association"

be included in the amendment.

Following discussion, a motion to table the name

change motion was made and seconded. Vote was taken

and motion to table failed. (15 in favor of motion to table, and

17 opposed to motion to table.)

Point of order. Ken Reid read from the Constitution -

ARTICLE V: Amendments:

“This Constitution may be amended or altered during

annual session by a two-thirds vote of the messengers

present. The proposed change must be submitted in

writing to the Executive Board at its July meeting. It will

be read and explained at the October Executive Board

meeting. Amendments to the proposed change shall be

discussed and voted on at the annual session of the

association.“

The recommendation was presented in writing, as

required by Constitution. No further discussion or action was

taken.

Recommendation 2 - Organization Restructuring.

The proposed organizational structure of the

Association/Network was presented.

Committees: The Administrative and Support

Committees were combined. The Annual Meeting

Committees (Preacher/Place, Program) was assigned to the

Executive Committee. Ad hoc committee needed for a

specific task will be dissolved once the task is completed.

The Committee recommended for future consideration, that

the DOM have the authority to appoint ad-hoc committees in

cooperation with moderator and vice-moderator.

Three Teams were established: Leadership Team,

Local Missions Exploration Team, and Missions Exploration

Team.

The Leadership Team will explore training

opportunities through pastors and others to help all church

leaders. The association must be a relevant resource to

respond to the needs of the churches. Leadership Team will

include age-graded ministries, from children to senior adults,

and will have a minimum of 7 members.

The Local Missions Exploration Team will focus on

taking the challenge of Acts 1:8 seriously, and impacting our

Jerusalem, Oconee County. Ministries listed were for

illustrative purposes and does not commit the association to

those particular organizations. It was suggested that the

association fully support the Oconee Chaplain’s Association.

Local Missions Exploration Team will have a minimum of 5

members.

The Missions Exploration Team will receive and

disseminate information on state, national and international

mission opportunities to get more people involved in

missions. David has a team going on a vision trip Calgary,

The team will work with churches that have mission trips

planned to allow others to join them. Missions Exploration

Team will have a minimum of 5 members.

Page 50

The floor was opened for discussion on the

organization restructuring recommendation. Disaster Relief

will be involved in both Local Missions and Missions

Exploration Teams, “from this door step to the uttermost part

of the earth.” Revisions to the Operations Manual will be

required, and will be presented and voted on at an Executive

Board meeting. The Stewardship Committee will determine

whether or not International missions efforts is included in

the budget. The proposed organizational structure is

foundational and a starting point. The Nominating

Committee will nominate members of the 3 teams, and

others can be enlisted.

Vote was taken on the motion to restructure the

organizational structure and the motion passed

unanimously.

Ken expressed appreciation to the committee for their

work over the past 4 years.

8. Director of Missions Report. David Shirley also

expressed appreciation to the Restructuring Committee. He

said he has enjoyed visiting churches and getting the

opportunity to speak. He spoke of the association’s rich

heritage, and that God has great things in store for the future

as we chart a new course for the association, churches

coming togther to Impact Oconee County.

The Fall Pastors/Wives Retreat in Greenville with

Richard Blackaby was postponed due to conflicts, and will

be rescheduled for early Spring.

In the last week of September, David will be taking

Steve Black, Phil Henry, Brad Kelley, Carl & Chris Krezdorn,

and John Watkins to Calgary, Canada to explore a

partnership between the association and Canadian Baptist

Convention. They are hoping to lead groups from here next

summer that churches and individuals can plug into. The

country is 94% lost, but God is doing amazing things there,

and we need to join Him.

Beginning in late August, a series of meetings will be

held to plan the Stadium Crusades. These may rotate

between Seneca, Walhalla and Westminster. Pastors are

needed to get involved in this effort, Impacting the county

with Jesus Christ. Oconee County is second in the state in

unemployment. Half of our residents have no involvement in

the faith-based community and we have the message of

hope to share..

David stated he wants to minister to pastors and their

families when they’re in the hospital, and asked that they let

him know.

A Ministers Golf Outing is planned for August 31 at

Cross Creek to build fellowship among pastors and church

staff.

David encouraged members to pray about how their

church can be involved in a ministry to school teachers and

law enforcement officers as school starts back in August.

The plan is to assign each teacher and law enforcement

officer one person who will pray for them all year on a daily

basis, and send a card once a month.

In his book, Missional Renaissance, Reggie McNeal

wrote about breaking out of the box and doing things

intentionally we’ve never done before. Three things have to

happen if we’re to be relevant – (1) from internal to external

focus. The church exists for those who aren’t there yet. (2)

program driven to people driven. If we’re getting folks

involved in ministry, that’s people development. If we have

lots of programs, we’re program driven. (3) from church-

centric / church-focused to kingdom-focused? Church

focused is about the next softball game, or next trip we’re

going on, or what you’re doing for my kids. Kingdom focused

is about those that aren’t here yet. Intentionally missional.

Impacting this county for Jesus Christ.

There are nine churches without pastors. David met

with 2 search committees and been contacted by a third.

Pray that these churches would get the man God would

have for them.

9. Other Business.

Randy Koon shared a prayer request for his son who

has resigned his pastorate in Virginia and is seeking a place

to serve where God would use him. He also shared that this

year a young lady led VBS at Mountain Rest.

10. Adjourn. Ray Allen shared that on November 23 he

will have been preaching 58 years. He led in closing prayer.

Registration: Churches - 26; Representatives - 45;

Guests - 2; Total Present - 47.

October 4, 2010

1. Call to Order. Ken Reid (College Street), Moderator,

called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at the Beaverdam

Mission Center.

2. Scripture Reading and Prayer. Ken read from Luke

24 and asked, what does it take to see Jesus? It takes faith

and the Holy Spirit. Jesus had traveled with the disciples,

explained scripture, and as He broke bread with them their

eyes were finally opened. After His crucifixion two of them

were walking to Emmaus when they saw Him, but did not

recognize Him. How many times has Jesus walked among

us and we didn’t see Him. Ken challenged members to open

their eyes and let Jesus do the work that needs to be done

in us so that we see Him and do whatever He asks. Michael

Welch (Pleasant Ridge) led in prayer.

3. Recognition of New Members. Steve Owens (Earle’s

Grove); Matt Boomhower (Mountain View); Tom Lusk

(Mountain View); Jerry Mize (Interim Pastor Mountain View);

Danny Reighley (Holly Springs); Bennard Harbin (Mt

Pleasant); Douglas Lee (Corinth Seneca); Allen Bramlett (Mt

A. Disaster Relief. Bill Alexander (Cheohee) reported

on plans for Impact Oconee / Local Work Day on September

13. Fifteen teams will be working all around the county

hoping to impact people who are not involved in church. The

WMU will also be involved by providing snacks for the

workers. Bill has asked several pastors to help find jobs for

the teams. Contact Bill Alexander to join a team, or if you

know of a home that needs help. State Disaster Relief

Training is October 8-9 at White Oak. Online registration is

closed, but volunteers can register at the door. A number of

DR members were trained in Adult CPR and First Aid

recently, and have asked for Child and Infant CPR training.

Those who are interested, please let Bill know. He gave the

Disaster Relief Report from NAMB. This year to date there

have been 2,465 professions of faith. There were 155,000

Buckets of Hope donated across the SBC, with 328 coming

from Beaverdam churches, and 6,000 from the state of SC.

Only about 70,000 buckets have been distributed due to

problems getting through customs and logistics of getting

them to people. He expressed appreciation to the

association for support, and encouraged others to join the

team.

B. Men’s Ministries. Clayton Justice (Chauga)

thanked the men for their participation in the quarterly

meetings – 145 in each of the last two meetings. Terry Joe

Rainey will speak at the next meeting at Hopewell on

November 9. August and October/November 2011 are still

open.

reported for Don Bickers who was out of town.

1) Proposed 2011 Budget was presented.

Countywide Crusade and Countywide Evangelistic Events

are new items. Ray said he is excited about the prospect of

what God is going to do in reaching our county for the Lord.

Compensation for the custodian’s position has been

decreased per the Personnel Committee’s recommendation

based on what industry is paying. The cleaning schedule will

change from every week to every other week. The total for

the proposed budget is $241,759. There were no comments

or questions. The budget will be voted on at the Annual

Meeting.

2) Proposal - Installation of New Equipment.

Due to office staff safety issues, the Stewardship Committee

recommended the installation of a Two-Way Intercom and

Page 52

Video with Door Release System to include a door station

and 2 base stations. Estimates were received from Priority

One, our current alarm system provider, and Blue Ridge

Security Systems. The Stewardship Committee

recommended that the association enter a lease contract

with Blue Ridge Security Systems at a cost of $494 down

and $62 per month for 60-months. An extended warranty is

included in the lease, and the association will own the

equipment at the end of the term. We will use the best

quality surge protector strip. Motion from committee passed.

C. Organization Restructuring Committee.

1) Proposed Amendments to Operations

Manual - Team Descriptions. Ron Potts (Hepsibah) stated

involvement in times of disasters in our area.

Recommendation to Amend the Operations Manual

Deletions Additions

TEAMS

Ministry teams will be organized to carry out the work of

the association by providing practical application of the

association's vision and mission. The Beaverdam Baptist

Association will mobilize five three ministry teams: Prayer and

Spiritual Awakening Team; Church and Society Team; Christian

Development Team; Church Development Team; and Church

Extension Team. In addition, a Planning and Coordinating

Team will be formed with representation from each of the five

ministry teams Leadership Development Team, Missions

Each team should consist from five to seven team

members as a core group but add, as necessary, an unlimited

number of team associates that are willing to help churches.

Except where noted, ministry team members will be presented

at the October Executive Board meeting for approval. The

associational staff will work with each of these teams. The term

of service for all leaders and teams will begin upon election

with the exception of the organizational coordinators whose

terms shall begin after the annual meeting except for their work

on the Nominating Team and Planning and Coordinating Team.

Team members may succeed themselves. The moderator and

director of missions will be ex-officio members of all teams.

Team Members are:

1. Responsible for researching, assessing and meeting the

diverse and changing needs of churches as requested, either

individually or collectively, and seek where God is moving and

join Him.

2. Asked to meet quarterly at a minimum to coordinate its

work with the staff and implement strategies to better serve

churches.

3. Teams shall keep minutes (or other record) of meetings,

a copy of which shall be maintained on file at the associational

office.

4. Asked to report on their team's activities to the Executive

Board and to the annual meeting.

5. Enlisted by the Team Leader and approved by the

Executive Board except where coordinators or persons are

selected by the Nominating Team Committee. Care will be

given to be inclusive in enlisting team members and associates

and will include pastors.

6. Asked to network churches to partner in ministry and

missions by addressing community and global needs.

7. To develop ongoing relationships with ministers by

fostering small regional groups where they can pray, share and

have fellowship.

8. To do one-on-one consultations with churches, as

requested.

9. To work with the Stewardship Team Committee to

prepare a budget for the association that will be presented and

discussed at the October Executive Board meeting and voted

on without discussion at the October annual meeting.

Prayer and Spiritual Awakening Team

Church and Society Team

Christian Development Team

Church Development Team

Church Extension Team

Planning and Coordinating Team

Leadership Development Team

The team would be made up of at least 7 members.

1. This team would receive input from the church leadership

for areas of desired training and information. It would include all

pastors (full time, bi-vocational, and interim's), associate

pastors, staff members (ministers of music, youth, children,

education, & secretaries), and deacons. The team would also

focus to work with areas of Sunday School, Discipleship

Training, Vacation Bible School, WMU, Men's Ministry, and

age-related leadership development. This team would also offer

other training for Leadership Development as requested by the

Association churches.

Missions Exploration Team

This team would focus on Local Mission projects that would

receive input from W MU and Men's Ministry. The intent would

be to explore and implement local mission opportunities

available for our member churches to become involve in. The

team would consist of at least 5 members. Their focus would

be:

1. Local mission projects (example: homeless shelter, food

bank drives, medical clinics, Oconee Medical Center Chaplain,

Clemson International Ministry, campground ministries, sporting

ministries (golf course, marathons, whitewater stops, and so

forth). Festival ministries, (Apple Festival, various Fall Festivals,

and seasonal parades). The team would explore how we as

Christians can influence and impact in some way these areas

within the Greater Oconee County area.

2. The team would explore focused evangelism

opportunities.

Page 53

3. The standing committee of Disaster Relief would also

have a member on this team to identify those requiring their

involvement in times of disasters in our area.

Missions Mobilization Team

This team would combine our Judea (state), Samaria (national)

and Uttermost Part of the Earth (international). The team would

consist of at least 5 members with each having an area of

responsibility. The team would identify mission opportunities

that all member churches could participate in. The identification

efforts would come through our State and National

Conventions. But primarily, there would be a consistent

communication with our member churches to open the

opportunities for other Associational churches to join them in

their mission projects. We have recognized that many of our

churches are smaller in number and may not have the financial

and people resources to pursue mission projects beyond their

communities. However, by combining their efforts with other

member churches, they would be able to go and participate as

God leads them. The standing committee of Disaster Relief

would also have a member on this team to identify those

requiring their involvement in times of disasters in our area.

Motion on the corrections, and motion on recommendation

to amend Operations Manual were adopted.

(2) Name Change Recommendation. Ken Reid

read Article 5 of the constitution: “This Constitution may be

amended or altered during annual session by a two-thirds

vote of the messengers present. The proposed change must

be submitted in writing to the Executive Board at its July

meeting. It will be read and explained at the October

Executive Board meeting. Amendments to the proposed

change shall be discussed and voted on at the annual

session of the association.” He stated there would be no

discussion, except to clarify the recommendation and make

sure it is understood.

Ron Potts emphasized that the name change

recommendation came from the town hall meetings, not from

the committee nor chairman. The Restructuring Committee

held various town hall meetings and they were made

accessible to every member church pastor and leadership.

The committee received a lot of input from those who

participated as to what the churches wanted to see our

Association do to be more effective. However the committee

also heard multiple requests that the name of the

Association be changed to better identify where we are

located and who we are as a collective group of participating

Southern Baptist churches.

While it was not a part of the original intent of the

committee to have anything to do with a name change, the

committee submitted the recommendation that the name be

changed to Greater Oconee Baptist Network.

Greater- Because we have at least one church outside the

geographical boundaries of this county we believe

"Greater" can include anywhere outside of the county.

Oconee- Identifies the county in which our member

churches are primarily situated in and further alerts

others to where we are geographically in the state of

South Carolina.

Baptist - simply by denominational affiliation. However, we

should note for the record, that this denominational name

is a shortened identification of each affiliated church be

a part of the Southern Baptist denomination.

Network - "an interconnected or interrelated chain, group, or

system" (Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary).

The churches participating in this body are definitely

interconnected and interrelated through Christ and His

commission to all believers, while each church body

continues to maintain its separate autonomy. The word

Association is also defined in the same source as "an

organization of persons having a common interest.” We

believe that the churches who participate with this body

are each interconnected with a common purpose and

driven focus to fulfill the Great Commission. We also feel

that as a Network we are moving beyond just having a

common interest in the efforts of this body and each

church being connected with the endeavors of the body.

If approved, Article 1 - Charter Statement, Section 1 would

read: “This association shall be known as the Greater

Oconee Baptist Network, formerly known as Beaverdam

Baptist Association.”

Ken Reid stated according to the interpretation of the

constitution the proposed amendment is read and explained

at the October Executive Board meeting, and then goes to

the annual meeting for debate and vote. Ken said that

messengers to the annual meeting would be able to speak

for and against the motion, make motions or challenges.

Rudy Gray (Utica) will serve as parliamentarian. The people

of the association, as elected messengers, will make the

decision. The floor was opened for clarification questions.

Why was the recommendation for a name change

made? Ron stated there were 4 town hall meetings plus one

held after an Executive Board meeting. Only 1/3 of the

churches were represented. Those who participated voiced

their opinions on what they wanted the association to do and

offer, and on other issues. The name change was brought

up at each meeting, not by the committee but by those who

participated. Ron said the recommendation will be presented

at the annual meeting. If two-thirds of the messengers vote

against it, it will continue to be Beaverdam Baptist

Association and will keep working and moving forward.

Messengers will make the decision.

How was the recommendation communicated to the

churches? Ken explained that it was presented in writing to

Executive Board members in July, published in the August

and October 2010 newsletters, and sent to pastors and

Executive Board members prior to this meeting. It will be

printed in the Book of Reports which will be available for

churches to pick up from the association office beginning

October 15.

What will happen at the annual meeting? Ken explained

that the moderator has the privilege of setting rules of

debate, and has scheduled a meeting with the

Page 54

parliamentarian to discuss it. We will follow Roberts Rules of

Order. He will open the floor for discussion. Messengers will

be limited to 3 minutes on discussion of the

recommendation. If someone wishes to make a substitute

motion or amendment, he encouraged them to have the

motion ready. If a motion is made for written ballot, we will

have ballots ready, otherwise voting will be by raised ballots.

Amendments to the Constitution require a two-thirds vote of

the messengers present.

A pastor shared his hope that this matter not become

divisive where it affects giving to the association.

8. Director of Missions Report. David Shirley expressed

his concern also that the name change does not need to be

divisive. The more important matter is that people are dying

and going to hell.

He reported that over the past three months he has

preached 23 times in 17 different churches, participated in

4 revivals, a commissioning service for NAMB Mission

Service Corps appointee Chris Allen, and a building

dedication, conducted training for a pastor search

committee, went on a mission trip to Canada, and had knee

surgery. He asked for continued prayer for his family’s

transition back to Seneca, for a job to open for his wife, and

their house to sell.

The first Ministers Golf Outing was held at Cross Creek

on August 31. The first place team was Ronnie Wald, Jimmy

Watt, Fred Astin, and Blake Pitts. There are a lot of

discouraged, hurting pastors and David’s trying to build

relationships with them through fellowship times.

Next year between September and early October, we

hope to have our first Countywide Stadium Crusade /

Celebration. Keep it in mind, and mark it on your calendar.

Phil Henry (Rocky Knoll) is Crusade Chairman, and John

McKnight Vice-Chairman. Meetings are underway and we

are close to setting the date. The committee’s desire is that

all 69 churches will be involved, and that people will come to

faith and make salvation decisions, and then plug into the

churches of the people who invited them.

The vision is to have a Crusade every year in fall, rotating

between Seneca, Walhalla and West-Oak. The principal at

Seneca has been very open about making not only the

stadium available for the Crusade, but also the gym and

auditorium for youth and children’s programs.

Isaiah 64:1-2 is the prayer of desperation from a

desperate prophet, who says, O God, rend open the

heavens and step out and walk among your people. Fire will

come and people will stand in awe. John, Phil and David are

meeting, praying, and believing God is going to do a work.

They ask that we claim that passage and pray that God

would rend open the heavens and do a work in this county

where over ½ of the population has no relationship with the

faith based community.

The first Pastors/Wives Retreat is scheduled for April 8-9,

2011 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Greenville. Speaker

will be Dr. Don Wilton, pastor, First Baptist Spartanburg. He

encouraged churches to pay their pastor’s way. This is for all

ministerial staff and their spouses, and will be a weekend of

encouragement.

Last week 7 men went on a vision trip to Calgary,

Canada, hoping to form a partnership between the

association and the Canadian National Baptist Convention.

Team members were: Phil Henry, Carl Krezdorn, Christian

Krezdorn, Brad Kelley, John Watkins, Steve Black and

David. They met with Bo Neal, pastor, of Southwinds

Church, and Rob Blackaby, president of Canadian National

Baptist Convention. David is trying to work out logistics with

Dr. Blackaby to have him in our area next month.

Canada is a lost nation. Population is 34,000,000 and

95% are lost. There are only 268 SBC churches in all of

Canada—we have 2,100 in South Carolina. Alberta is larger

than Texas with 3.2 million people and 53 Baptist churches,

one church for every 60,000 people. Alberta was formerly

known as the Bible Belt of Canada, but now is two

generations away from God. If you ask teenagers if they go

to church, they say no, but I think my grandparents used to.

In Calgary with a 1.2 million population, 7% are saved.

That’s 84,000 out of 1.2 million people. We are headed

where Canada is now.

Last week we were given an invitation to go to Canada.

Our challenge is to Impact Oconee in lots of ways, and also

to be about the uttermost part of the earth. In the future,

churches will have an opportunity to join us on a mission trip

to Canada to Impact Lostness. David hopes to send multiple

teams, and is working out the dates for early summer,

maybe first 2 weeks in June. Teams will touch every house

and place door hangers on thousands of homes. There will

be a lot of walking, so start getting in shape. There may be

other opportunities to send a large group up to the Canadian

Southern Baptist Seminary and possibly other parts of the

area.

David asked for prayer for the churches without pastors

right now.

9. Other Business.

Steve Black said he had a great time in Canada, and

urged churches to get behind David and support him and his

family. He also expressed appreciation to Ken for his

leadership this year.

Michael Welch served as chairman of the DOM Search

Com, and said that through the budget David is doing

exactly what the committee asked him to do, and he’s

thankful.

10. Adjourn. Closing prayer was led by Alvin Burdette (Mt.

Pleasant), Clayton Justice (Chauga), and Ken Reid.

Registration: 27 churches; 51 Executive Board Members.
