JournalBaptist General Association of Virginia

The Sandy Creek Baptist Association was organized in 1760 and included churches in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

In 1771, Virginia Baptists organized the General Association of Separate Baptists in Virginia, operating until 1783 when the Baptist General Committee was instituted to take its place. The General Committee continued until 1799 when it was succeeded by the General Committee of Correspondence, which represented the Baptists of Virginia until 1822, when it was decided to organize the General Association of Baptists in Virginia. Its first session was held in 1823, and in 1855 its name was changed to the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

194th Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia

BGAV Annual Meeting


#BGAV17

8 2017 BOOK OF REPORTS

At the 1971 annual meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, registration and voting procedures for the annual meeting were established.

I. Eligibility

The eligibility of messengers is determined by the Constitution/Bylaws of the Baptist General Association of Virginia as follows:

ARTICLE III. Section B: CompositionThe General Association shall be composed of the officers of the General Association and messengers elected by Baptist churches which follow the New Testament teaching of salvation by grace and believer’s baptism by immersion, and which cooperate with the General Association. Each church contributing financially at least $500 during the previous fiscal year, according to the treasurer’s report, to the Virginia portion of the Cooperative Missions Budget shall be entitled to two (2) messengers; to a total of three (3) messengers for $750; a total of four (4) messengers for $1000, and to one (1) more messenger for each additional $600; provided that no church shall be entitled to more than fifteen (15) messengers. If $500 is more than two percent (2%) of a church’s total annual receipts, such church is entitled to two (2) messengers, provided it contributes financially at least two percent (2%) of its total annual receipts to the Virginia portion of the Cooperative Missions Budget. The Cooperative Missions Budget as adopted by the General Association is the preferred way Virginia Baptists express their unity in mission and ministry. Cooperative Missions is Virginia Baptists’ long-standing commitment to the Cooperative Program.

II. Registration

• Messengers should be elected by cooperating Baptist churches.• A registration packet is mailed to each cooperating Baptist church and contains login credentials and

registration forms required to complete messenger registration.• Cooperating Baptist churches may pre-register elected messengers for the Baptist General Association

of Virginia’s annual meeting on-line or by mail or they can register on-site during the meeting. • Pre-registering messengers on-line requires login credentials. Churches may obtain this information

within the registration packet or by contacting the Baptist General Association of Virginia.• Pre-registering messengers by mail as well as registering messengers on-site using the registration

form requires an authorized signature. If an authorized signature is not present, the Baptist General Association of Virginia’s credentials committee will make a decision regarding the messenger status.

III. Voting

Registered messengers will be provided, at the time of registration, ballots numbered 1 to 5. These ballots will be the only instrument used for written voting.

Registration and Voting Procedures

92017 BOOK OF REPORTS

To Introduce Business

The following is provided as information to assist messengers with the “when and how to” of presenting amendments, motions, and resolutions. The information has been paraphrased from the Constitution/Bylaws of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, which are printed in full at the end of the Book of Reports.

Article X states that amendments to the Constitution/Bylaws must be presented in writing during the morning session of the first day. Providing these qualifications are met, they will be voted upon during the business session of the second day.

Article VIII, Section D of the BGAV Constitution/Bylaws states that motions which would change the policy of the General Association or recommend changes to the policy of any agency, institution or shared ministry connected with the General Association, shall be made in writing and presented on the first day of the annual meeting. Action on such motion shall occur on the second day of the annual meeting. A motion is defined as that business brought before the BGAV which relates to or affects the policies and/or operations of the BGAV. A policy is defined as those principles by which the BGAV is guided and managed.

Article VII, General Provisions, Section I of the BGAV Constitution/Bylaws states that resolutions from messengers must be received in writing by the office of the Executive Director no later than October 15 and shall be referred to the Committee on Resolutions. Resolutions from the Executive Board or committees, and resolutions submitted for action by the Committee on Resolutions, must be published in the Book of Reports; or be published on the General Association website in advance of the annual meeting of the General Association; or be available to the messengers at registration. Adoption of any resolution shall require three-fourths (3/4) majority vote of the messengers present and voting. A resolution is defined as the expression of the opinion of registered messengers and in no way establishes the policies of the General Association. Only registered messengers, the Executive Board, and committees of the General Association are eligible to submit resolutions to the annual meeting of the General Association.

Note: Matters introduced after the end of the first day of an annual meeting may not be considered at that annual meeting except by unanimous consent.

Persons who desire assistance in putting in proper constitutional form matters of business to be presented to the General Association may contact any member of the Program Committee who will refer you to a resource person.

Monday, November 13, 2017 (4:00-5:15 p.m.)

Virginia Baptist Women in Ministry: 30 Years and Still Going Strong!For 30 years, VBWIM has been providing affirmation and a supportive community to women who have been called by God into ministry. Please join us as we celebrate our heritage and discuss ways in which we can partner together for a meaningful future!

Preaching and the Power of Story – Jim SomervilleWhy is it that people remember the stories long after they have forgotten the point? What is it about stories that make them so powerful and memorable? How can I harness the power of story in my own preaching? Dr. Jim Somerville, Pastor of Richmond’s First Baptist Church, will consider these and other questions in a break-out that will also include a number of practical tips for effective storytelling.

Discipleship Beyond the Walls: Being Church In Our Digital/Physical Culture - Steve PerkyToday’s Church faces many new challenges doing ministry as we trek off the map into the new normal of our digital, social, mobile, networked culture. In this session, we will explore video streaming and being the Church in our merging physical and digital lives.

When Disaster Strikes: Helping Your Community Make a Difference After Disaster – Aaron LeeWhen disaster strikes, we want to help. Through exploring our Virginia Baptist Disaster Response networks, you will learn how to mobilize your church and community to respond after a disaster down the street, across the country, or around the world. Whether you pray, give, or go, there is always a way to make an impact.

The Transformational Ministry of Small Churches – Herbert PonderThis presentation will focus on the vibrant, life-giving ministries and impact of smaller churches. We will talk about the importance of celebrating past accomplishments as a means to look forward. We will further explore strategies for transforming obstacles into opportunities for ministry.

Discipling Digital Teens – Danny QuirinToday’s teens are the most connected generation in history. We will look at how we can connect with them when they are disconnecting from so many spiritual things.

Tuesday, November 14, 2017 (3:45-5:00 p.m.)

Proposed 2018 Budget and Dialogue with the BGAV Executive BoardCome meet and dialogue with BGAV Executive Board members and discuss the proposed 2018 BGAV budget.

January Bible Study: The Seven Churches of Revelation – Bob MooreWe will examine the first three chapters of Revelation, especially the messages given to seven churches in Asia Minor. We will focus on the relevance of these messages to the Church today. If time permits, we’ll also look briefly at the structure of the entire book of Revelation.


Paying it Forward: A New and Fun Way to do Stewardship - Eddie Stratton & Don CampbellLearn how your church can “Embrace the Joy” with this exciting and consultant led or “do it on your own” event. Embrace the Joy will challenge members of your congregation to prayerfully and reasonably consider their “anticipated generosity” for the following calendar year.

Dialogue with Leith AndersonHear from and dialogue with our main speaker.

The Role of the Latino Network in a Dynamic Latino Culture - Habacuc DiazMore than ever before, we face the important question of how we are to provide a genuine welcome and an authentic proclamation of the Gospel to our Latino neighbors.

Ministry in Mayberry: Celebrating the Small Church – Katie McKownJoin us in sharing the joys and challenges of pastoring a small church in a small town. Learn from one pastor’s mistakes and milestones. You may even learn how to fix a running toilet.

How to Be Church: Conflict and Communication - Dr. Andrew WakefieldSooner or later, every church seems to deal with conflict—even the very first church in Jerusalem (e.g., Acts 5:1-11, 6:1-6, 11:1-18, and so on). Unfortunately, most churches struggle to deal with conflict in healthy ways. Is conflict inevitable? Must it always lead to division and distrust? This breakout session will explore how we, as different members of the one body, can learn how to work through conflict and speak the truth in love with one another.

Finding and Including the 20 Percent - Michelle MungerDid you know there is a very large unreached and mostly unengaged people group in our backyards? If I told you who they were you might say to yourself, “Oh, we have a program for them.” Families with special needs, however, don’t want programs. They want to worship without judgment and feel loved as fellow children of God. This session will explore ways to prepare your church and then find these families desperately needing God’s love.

Should Churches or Ministers Take Positions on Political Issues/Candidates? (And Should the Government Dictate the Answer to this Question?) – Religious Liberty CommitteeRev. Dr. Betty Mills, pastor of Hampton Baptist Church, will address the first question, and Dr. Ellis West, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, University of Richmond, will address the second question, which per-tains to the so-called Johnson Amendment, a provision in the Internal Revenue Code that prohibits churches and other non-profit organizations from endorsing or financing candidates for public office. There will also be time for questions and comments.

Technology In the Church – Jonathan DavisWant to better use technology in your ministry but don’t know where to start? Need to explore technology as a tool for worship planning, discipleship, and outreach? Ever considered a theology of technology? Come explore all this and more, and bring your smartphone if you have one!

Refugees and Immigrants, Brothers and Sisters: An International Perspective - BGAV Mission Development StaffDr. Andrea Klimt, Theological College of Elstal, Germany, discusses the theology of receiving as well as the ways that our mission becomes sharing life together.

Program CommitteeOfficial Report

The Program Committee is responsible for preparing the order of business for the annual meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and assuring that worship is emphasized during the meeting. We are excited to be at Ivy Memorial Baptist Church and the Hampton Roads Convention Center for our meeting! We are grateful for their hospitality during the days the BGAV is in session.

Our theme for this year is: “Answering God’s Call: Now What?” During our time together, our keynote speaker, Leith Anderson, will help us to focus on how we—as individuals, churches, and the BGAV—can answer our individual and collective calls.

We will have a variety of music from our BGAV family during our meeting times, and we are grateful to Tom Ingram for coordinating this.

The Program Committee makes the following recommendations:

1. That the program, as printed, be adopted as the agenda of the 2017 meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

2. That times on the program are indicated merely as guidance.

3. That in order to expedite discussion, debate on all matters will be limited to three minutes per speaker, and that speakers, pro and con, be alternated.

4. That future sites for the Annual Meeting be affirmed as:

» 2018: November 12–14, 2018, in the Richmond, Virginia area

» 2019: November 11–13, 2019, in the Northern Virginia area

Recommendation III:Resolution of Appreciation for Frederick J. Anderson

Frederick Jarrard Anderson, just “Fred” to the Virginia Baptist family, retired on June 30, 2017 as executive director of the oldest Baptist historical organization in any southern state, the Virginia Baptist Historical Society (1974-2017) and also the Center for Baptist Heritage and Studies (1999-2017).

Whereas, Fred, born in Georgia and educated at Berry College with graduate studies at the University of West Georgia, Peabody College of Vanderbilt University, and England’s Regent College of Oxford University, has preserved and taught the distinctive saga of Baptists in Virginia with understanding, impact, and easy charm.

Whereas, Fred, as first full-time director of the Historical Society since 1979, has become “Mister Virginia Baptist History” for our churches and leaders. As writer, he has written 1,157 heritage columns for the Religious Herald, biographies of our key leaders, histories of numerous churches, associations, and regions, and God’s Stories: An Illustrated History of Baptists in Virginia (2007). As teacher, he has presented more than 1,000 history programs for our churches, created a rich array of historical resources, and taught us by means of costumed monologues of a dozen Virginia Baptist heroes, portraying John Leland and William E. Hatcher in particular for a combined total of 500 enactments to an estimated 100,000 learners. As leader, Fred has more than tripled church records in the Society’s holdings, added traveling exhibits, led in the creation of the Center for Baptist Heritage and Studies in 1999, managed the University of Richmond’s archives, and established the Heritage Fellows’ program for select college students. As denominational resource person, Fred has served as clerk for the BGAV from 1982 to the present, as recording secretary for the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (1982-2014), as the first recording secretary of the Virginia Baptist Mission Council (2014-present), and as historian for Richmond Baptist Association (1979-2015).

Whereas, Fred’s professional excellence has been recognized with many awards, including the first Davis C. Woolley Award for outstanding achievement in state Baptist history from the Baptist History and Heritage Society in 1991, awarded again by the same national organization in 2002 and 2006 to spotlight the stellar work done by the Society and Center, and honored with the Doctorate of Humane Letters from Bluefield College in 2002.

Therefore Be It Resolved, that we, the elected members of the Baptist General Association of Virginia meeting on November 14, 2017, offer our appreciation for the life and work of Fred Anderson, and we pledge our future prayers for Fred, Nancy, and their family as they move into a new ministry era, and

Be It Further Resolved, that we ask the messengers of the Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia on November 14, 2017, in Hampton, Virginia to offer our gratitude for the anchoring ministry of Fred Anderson.


Recommendation IV:Resolution of Appreciation for Ronald W. Crawford

Ron Crawford retired as President of Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond (BTSR) on June 30, 2017, completing ten full years of quality leadership at a partner ministry of the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

Whereas, Ron, a native son of Virginia and a second-generation pastor in the Commonwealth, served two Virginia Baptist congregations --- Vandola in Danville (1980-1984) and Lakeside in Richmond (1984-1995) --- along with churches beyond Virginia. Additionally, he was elected to serve as our President of the Baptist General Association of Virginia for the 1993-1994 term, leading with deft skill and applying subtle understandings of volunteer networks. Ron later participated in the Coordinating Council, the national governing body of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.

Whereas, Ron graduated from North Carolina State (Bachelor of Arts in 1974), Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity in 1977 and Doctor of Ministry in 1985), and Virginia Commonwealth University (Master of Public Administration in 1993), the latter degree preparing him to understand the complex behaviors of non-profit institutions and to lead them toward new vitality.

Whereas, at BTSR, Ron served two stints as trustee, first before the school elected its first president, including a term as Board Chairperson. After a break of several years, his second trustee term concluded when he was elected President of the seminary. At BTSR, he focused on preparing women and men for excellence in ministry, while matching and managing seminary resources to the school’s most pressing needs. Now, in retirement, Ron will continue to contribute as President Emeritus of the seminary.

Therefore Be It Resolved, that we, the elected members of the Baptist General Association of Virginia meeting on November 14, 2017, convey our deep appreciation to Ron Crawford for creatively educating ministers for our churches, and we pledge our continuing prayers to Ron and his family, and

Be It Further Resolved, that we ask the messengers of the Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia on November 14, 2017 to extend our profound gratitude to God for the life and ministry of Ron Crawford in our midst.


Recommendation V:Partnership Covenant

A Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision Agreement BetweenBAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA

ANDMCAFEE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

MERCER UNIVERSITY

I. PrologueThis Covenant is established by the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and McAfee School of Theology (MST) of Mercer University for the purpose of clarifying and affirming the relationship between each as they seek to fulfill the Great Commission through shared commitments and cooperative ministry while at the same time maintaining the independence and distinct character of each.

A brief history of the relationship…When Jesse Mercer founded Mercer University in 1833, he and other Georgia Baptist leaders envisioned an institution that would provide students with a classical and theological education. Their concern was for young preachers and for members of area Baptist churches. Mercer knew these churches desperately needed pastor-leaders who understood scripture and could clearly articulate their Christian beliefs.

Over the intervening years, the institution begun by Jesse Mercer has developed into a university of far-reaching influence, while remaining committed to an educational environment that embraces the historic Baptist principles of intellectual and religious freedom. Today, more than 8,300 students are enrolled in 12 schools and colleges on campuses in Macon, Atlanta, and Savannah; three medical school sites in Macon, Savannah, and Columbus; and at four Regional Academic Centers around the state.

In recent years, both pastors and students who seriously examined the opportunities for seminary-level training expressed a need for new educational alternatives within the Baptist tradition. After careful consideration of the issues and after an extensive feasibility study, the University’s Board of Trustees in June of 1994 voted to establish a School of Theology. MST accepted its first class in the Fall of 1996 and now can boast of some 750 alumni who serve around the world as pastors, professors, ministers, chaplains, and missionaries. MST welcomes the opportunity to foster a partnership with the BGAV as we seek the mutual advance of our Lord’s Kingdom.

This Partnership Mission Covenant is birthed out of a desire to work together to fulfill the Great Commission and because of the mutual and supportive benefit gained by establishing a relationship between the BGAV and MST. It is important that this Covenant establish the intersection of the values, mission, and vision of each entity as the foundation for partnering together through more specific means. This is accomplished first by each entity stating its values, mission, and vision, and secondly by the entities working together to build their covenant around the values, mission, and vision shared in common.

For the purpose of this Covenant, values or “statement of faith” are defined as those guiding principles established by an organization that help frame major decision-making processes, the formation of strategic direction, and the development of human and financial resources. Mission is a unique and succinct statement of purpose that frames the actions of the organization around several key components. Vision is that driving, motivating, God-given view of the future that moves an organization toward specific goals and that seeks to


bring others along on the journey. Vision can be described through a delineation of major emphases, new strategic initiatives, and/or the development and targeting of key resources.

II. The Values, Mission, and Vision of the Baptist General Association of Virginia

ValuesIn November, 1995 during annual session the Baptist General Association of Virginia adopted the following values:

• Centrality of Christ• Authority of Holy Scripture• Priesthood of Believers• Soul Competency• Religious Liberty• Separation of Church and State• Autonomy of the Local Church• Believers Baptism• Respect for Persons• Intellectual Integrity• Cooperative Spirit• Compassion for Unbelievers• Responsiveness to a Changing World

MissionSince 1823 the Baptist General Association of Virginia has pursued its mission as stated in the purpose statement of the BGAV Constitution and Bylaws:

The object of the General Association shall be to furnish the Baptist churches of Virginia a medium of cooperation for the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the advancement of the Redeemer’s Kingdom by all methods in accord with the Word of God. There shall be full recognition of the autonomy of the local churches.

VisionIn a special called meeting in May 2002 and in the annual meeting of November, 2002, the Baptist General Association of Virginia adopted a challenging new vision for the future. “Kingdom Advance: Partners in a New Vision” is a comprehensive strategy of the churches of the Baptist General Association of Virginia in cooperation with Kingdom partners in Virginia, the United States, and around the world. Unlike many visions and associated strategies from the past, “Kingdom Advance” goes beyond the ministry and work of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and seeks to involve all Virginia ministry partners in advancing the Redeemer’s Kingdom.

“Kingdom Advance” outlines four major goals:

BGAV will emphasize the matching of ministers and churches so that they might serve boldly the cause of Christ; the modeling of wellness for the church, its ministers, and Christian families; and developing leaders, both lay and clergy, for the church. Key strategies include developing assessment and placement tools in order to better match ministers and churches; intensified efforts to assimilate new ministers to BGAV life, leadership development cooperatives that provide specialized training and continuing education in multiple locations though linkages with ministry partners; and supportive ministries to prevent “burn-out” among ministers and their families.

BGAV will identify new leaders for church leadership, both lay and clergy, young and old, on campuses and at places of employment; equipping them for service through special training experiences and through mentoring relationships; and deploying them to places of service for “hands-on” learning of practical skills.


Key strategies include “call-out” events at church, associational, and statewide levels; the ongoing program of campus ministry on college campuses; the creation of “greenhouse” events where emerging leaders are challenged to grow through intense learning experiences; the development of coaching and mentoring networks for new leaders; and the creating of internships in local church and denominational ministry.

BGAV has an overall mission strategy of going to places where the Gospel is needed, both locally and globally, caring for emotional, social, physical, and spiritual needs; and educating future generations of mission leaders. Key strategies include the deployment of missions volunteers to serve alongside our missions partners locally and around the world; the deployment of Kingdom Advance Ambassadors and a flexible, mobile missions force, supporting caring ministry at the local church level and through joint efforts of ministry on a larger scale; and providing missions education opportunities through classroom and “hands-on” experiences.

BGAV will seek to create a movement where Christians and churches go beyond being healthy to being courageous in evangelizing the lost through church planting and evangelistic outreach; discipling believers to become bold Christians; and visioning a new future for the church and its ministry as often as a changing community and God demands. Key strategies include the provision of resources and supportive networks for church planters and new congregations; training in evangelism, Bible study, discipleship development, worship leadership, and church growth; concentrated efforts at church revitalization and community transformation through an intensive covenant process; financial partnering with churches seeking to become courageous; and through matching assistance for significant discipleship and outreach projects.

III. The Values, Mission, and Vision of Mercer University and McAfee School of Theology MST’s mission and vision exists under the umbrella of the mission and vision of Mercer University.

Values, Mission and Vision of Mercer University

Mercer University’s mission is to teach, to learn, to create, to discover, to inspire, to empower and to serve. In fulfilling this mission, the University supports undergraduate, graduate, and professional learning as well as basic research and its application in service to others. As a university committed to excellence and innovation, Mercer challenges members of its community to meet and exceed high standards in their teaching, learning, research, scholarship and service. Founded by Baptists in 1833, Mercer is an independent university that remains grounded in a tradition that embraces freedom of the mind and spirit, cherishes the equal worth of every individual, and commits to serving the needs of humankind.

As a reflection of this heritage:

• We encourage our students to discover and develop fully their unique combination of gifts and talents to become leaders who make a positive difference in the world.

• We seek to inspire members of our community to live virtuous and meaningful lives by using their gifts and talents to serve the needs of humankind as an expression of their love for God and neighbor.

• We seek to enrich the mind and spirit by promoting and facilitating an open and rigorous search for truth and understanding, including an examination of the moral, religious and ethical questions of this and every age.

• We affirm and respect the dignity and sacred worth of every person and celebrate both our commonalities and our differences.

The Ten Founding Principles of the McAfee School of TheologyBased on Jesse Mercer’s vision, the McAfee School of Theology is founded on ten principles that have guided its inception and will continue to guide its formation and character:

1. The School shall be founded upon the belief that Jesus Christ is the Word of God, the center and focus of faith.


2. The School shall spring from Mercer University’s conviction about its own vocation as an institution, borne and nurtured by Baptists and Baptist churches and committed to undergirding the work and witness of the church as a community of faith.

3. The School shall seek to educate students who are:

» literate and disciplined in the study of sacred scripture;

» articulate in understanding the historical and theological issues of faith;

» effective preachers and interpreters of the Christian gospel;

» wise and compassionate in personal and social ministry;

» prepared to integrate faith and life in the spiritual formation of congregations.

4. The School shall be devoted to the preparation of men and women who combine the call of God’s spirit with the intellectual gifts, the emotional maturity, and the spiritual discipline to become effective and responsible pastors and leaders in ministry.

5. The School shall be inclusive in spirit and practice, affirming the open search for truth, and fostering tolerance for religious and intellectual diversity.

6. By underscoring both scholarly discipline and the experience of ministry, the School shall seek to break through the dichotomy of theory and practice, claiming both reason and compassion, the mind and the heart as gifts of God and conceiving ministry as bringing the sacred to bear upon every dimension of human experience.

7. The School shall hold steadfastly to the high and defining traditions of Baptists, including the priesthood of believers, the separation of church and state, the autonomy of the local congregations as the context for mission and ministry, the centrality of scripture to the life of faith, and the resolve that neither creeds nor human affirmations of faith should stand as tests of orthodoxy.

8. While holding firmly to its high calling and to its specific responsibility for theological education among Baptists, the School shall also accept its responsibility to embrace the whole world as the creation of God and to serve the wider Christian community as the people of God who are called to live out God’s purpose and presence in the world.

9. The School shall embody the historical traditions of Mercer University, valuing both intellectual freedom and the affirmation of faith as the foundations of the University.

10. The School shall serve as a continuing resource to churches, pastors, and professionals in ministry for their continuing education and as a reference and placement service for churches, pastors, and other church leaders.

Mission of MSTThe mission of MST is to form Christian leaders whose practice and scholarship, empowered by their passion for God and neighbor, changes lives and transforms communities. The School accomplishes this mission by:

Integrating spirituality with service

• Practicing spiritual disciplines that nurture us for Christian service.• Embracing ethnic, gender, and theological diversity to enhance our spiritual growth and moral

formation.• Creating opportunities to learn in community, experience transformation, and risk action.

Integrating theological inquiry with prophetic vision

• Interpreting the story of the Christian faith through sacred scriptures and traditions.


• Connecting faith to global contexts in ways that engage personal, communal, and political realities.

• Critiquing the structures of our society from an informed prophetic voice.

Integrating worship with witness

• Celebrating God’s presence in worship as the source of the Church’s call to community and global transformation.

• Reading cultural contexts to create holistic strategies for ministry.• Proclaiming the love of God in Jesus Christ through dialogue and in partnership with others.

The Vision of MSTThe vision of MST is simply stated as it emerges from the School’s founding principles and mission: “Changing lives and transforming communities.”

IV. Our Covenant TogetherThe Baptist General Association of Virginia and the McAfee School of Theology therefore affirm their voluntary, mutual, and supportive relationship by means of the following shared values, mission, and vision. We do this as partners in a new vision seeking to fulfill the Great Commission and to advance the Redeemer’s Kingdom.

Shared ValuesAs Covenant Partners, our shared values include the following:

• Centrality of Christ• Authority of Holy Scripture• Priesthood of Believers• Soul Competency• Religious Liberty• Respect for Persons• Intellectual Integrity• Compassion for Unbelievers• Responsiveness to a Changing World• Separation of Church and State• Autonomy of the local church

Together we affirm the significance of the local church and the need for theological education that equips the church for the work of ministry. We recognize the need for intentional work in racial reconciliation where “in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female” (Galatians 3:28).

Shared MissionThe McAfee School of Theology provides a diverse learning environment in which students of various ethnic backgrounds study and minister in order to change lives and transform communities. We welcome all students who are committed to Christ-centered ministry and mission in the world. McAfee’s mission together with the BGAV’s focus upon empowering local congregations makes a partnership between the two institutions a helpful way for advancing God’s kingdom in the world. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the BGAV and with the Baptists of Virginia for the spreading of the Gospel and for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.


Shared VisionAs a Christian School of Theology, rooted and grounded in the Baptist tradition, and as a Covenant Partner with the BGAV, MST shares the vision of “Kingdom Advance.” In particular, and in covenant together, we will promote this vision in the following ways:

Development of Leaders:

We commit to training students to be Christian leaders who are prepared to change lives and transform communities. We encourage and model for students a life-long integration of faith and learning, combining academic rigor, spiritual formation, and ministry application. We seek to produce graduates who are personally whole and spiritually mature, biblically grounded and theologically competent, pastoral, evangelistic, and prophetic. We will provide opportunities for Virginia Baptist students to have hands on experience in church ministry, CPE/chaplaincy, community development, missions, evangelism, church planting, and innovative ministry. We look forward to connecting McAfee graduates with BGAV churches through placement and internships.

Support of Churches:

We commit to support and train BGAV pastors and leaders through our ongoing continuing education programs, our Resource and Referral services, opportunities to take part in our emerging centers for preaching and congregational life, global church and interreligious collaboration, community development, spirituality and the vocations, ethics and public life, and through our Doctor of Ministry and Masters degrees and Certificate programs. Furthermore, we seek to work with churches to integrate the training of leaders and minister with the training and encouraging of churches. We are eager to provide resources for churches in the form of retreats, Bible studies, and training events and to offer our faculty as resources for congregations. Drawing on the resources of the larger university, we can help to facilitate training focused on the intersection of vocational ministry with business, law, health care, counseling, and in a variety of other areas.

Ministry to the World:

McAfee School of Theology has made a significant commitment to increasing the awareness and ability of students to connect with an increasingly pluralistic world. Through its emerging Global Church and Interreligious Collaboration Center, MST helps both students and churches understand the diverse religious traditions that surround them. Through mission immersion experiences, MST helps students and others who wish to participate to appreciate and learn from the enculturation of the gospel in various global contexts. Through its programs in community development and social enterprise, MST seeks to equip students and others to explore new and entrepreneurial ways to transform lives and communities in our rapidly changing world.

V. Relationship Between the PartiesThis agreement does not create a contractual relationship or financial obligation, nor does it imply that McAfee School of Theology is an agency, institution, or shared ministry of the General Association.

VI. TermThese shared values, mission, and vision frame our relationship as Covenant Partners effective November 13, 2017. With six months’ notice, either party to this Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision may request that it be renegotiated or terminated. This Covenant shall be reviewed every five years.


Recommendation VI:Partnership Covenant

A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEENBAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA

ANDWOMAN’S MISSIONARY UNION OF VIRGINIA

Article I - PrologueThis Partnership Agreement is established by the Baptist General Association of Virginia (“the BGAV”) and the Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia (“the WMUV”) (individually the “party” or collectively the “parties”), for the purpose of clarifying and affirming this relationship as they seek in common commitment to promote the teaching of and participation in Christian missions.

Since the late 1800’s the WMUV has demonstrated a partnering commitment to the BGAV. By establishing this Partnership Agreement, based upon mutual trust and accountability, the BGAV and the WMUV reaffirm an integrated approach as acknowledged partners in advancing the Redeemer’s Kingdom. The parties also affirm that the WMUV will maintain its autonomous identity in the election of its corporate officers, the employment of its Executive Director/Treasurer and staff, recognition of its Board of Trustees, and maintaining its assets.

The WMUV has historically served as the mission educator in the churches of the BGAV. It has also provided and developed key leaders for state and associational work. Virginia women have informed churches and associations of ministry needs and challenged persons to pray and give to the BGAV causes.

Since 1899, the WMUV has received the BGAV funds for its administrative operations. In 1902, the WMUV established a special offering for state mission work which later became known as the State Missions Offering. Since then, State Missions has been promoted faithfully by the WMUV. Over the intervening years, various appeals were included by the WMUV for sharing in the use of this Offering, in addition to the WMUV’s own program and ministries. In 1976, this State Missions Offering became a joint venture of the WMUV and the BGAV, with the development of an annual goal and allocation of funds under the direction of a State Missions Committee.

In March 1998, the State Missions Offering became the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions (“the Alma Hunt Offering”) by agreement of the WMUV and the BGAV and Virginia Baptist Mission Board (“the VBMB”). There was no change made to the method of allocations. In May 2002, as a part of a revised mission strategy and vision for Virginia Baptists, the WMUV and the BGAV affirmed the 1997 Working Agreement and agreed to modify the uses of the Alma Hunt Offering to include allocations for mission endeavors in Virginia, across North America and around the world.

Article II - Core ValuesThe parties pledge to:

• Affirm and uphold the “priesthood of the believers,” while accepting the responsibilities and privileges inherent therein.

SUSTAINABLE CONGREGATIONS(Change In An Unchanging Environment)

It is a certain fact that we live in an ever-changing world. Sometimes change comes so fast that it’s hard to keep up-to-date. Most of us have, at one time or the other, purchased the latest and greatest technology gadget, only to find that when we finally figure out how to use it, it’s already obsolete. For generations, the way most people got their news was via their local newspaper. Now, most people get their up-to-the-mo-ment news almost instantly by electronic means. The result has been the “folding-up” of many daily news-papers and the struggle that many are facing to make little or no profit at all. Change came so quickly many newspaper publishers just couldn’t or wouldn’t change to meet the times.

What’s happening in the world of technology and print publishing is reflective of what’s happening in the church all across America and in many parts of the world. Some churches have refused to change their methods (not their message) and they, too, have been left behind. That’s why so many churches are closing their doors for the last time. It’s staggering to contemplate that research reveals, 70-75 percent of Southern Baptist churches in America are plateaued or declining. On average, 17 Southern Baptist churches shut their doors for good every Sunday.* Research also reveals that, across all denominations, around 200 churches will close their doors for the last time this Sunday in America. It appears that the pace will likely accelerate unless congregations make some dramatic changes, soon.**

Pastor and author, Robert J. Morgan, wrote a little verse that aptly fits the situation:

Churches Change –If they don’t change by growing,

They will change by dying.(2008 Preacher’s Resource Book, p. 86)

Churches all across Virginia are changing. Some have changed their methods and are experiencing growth – we praise God for that. Many have refused to change much, if anything, and are struggling to maintain what they do have. We pray for them, that God will open their eyes to the reality of what needs to happen. The purpose of this position paper is to challenge the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) to develop some strategies that will help BGAV churches move from a maintainable existence to a sustainable presence in the communities they serve. Likewise, a challenge is issued to all BGAV churches, large and small, to be open to new ways of sharing the message of Christ in our ever-changing and diverse society.

Many of our BGAV churches are in rural areas where maintaining the status quo is the norm. Any mention of change creates angst among the membership. There is an overwhelming sense of holding on to the “that’s the way we’ve always done it” mentality. However, this is not unique to just rural churches. Churches in cit-ies and towns all across the state are smitten with the same mentality. The result, many BGAV churches are finding themselves in severe financial difficulties at present, but are being sustained by “old money.” Unless there is an influx of “new money,” there will come a time, in the not so distant future, when these churches will no longer be viable.


Perhaps this issue should be considered an ethical issue of stewardship for the churches that find themselves in this situation. Is it really the will of God to just keep the doors open? Or wouldn’t it be wise to join forces with other congregations to create better stewardship of physical resources, as well as human resources? With these thoughts in mind, the word “merger” comes to the forefront.

The word “merger” will anger some, scare others, or just be ignored and given no real consideration by most. It makes sense, however, when you consider “How effective can a church be with only 20-40 in atten-dance on Sunday morning?” If two or three churches in close proximity would come together, they could make a stronger impact and see Kingdom Advance. After all, that is our commission (Matthew 28:19-20). We were not tasked with just keeping the doors open, instead we are told to knock down the gates of hell for it has no power over God’s church (Matthew 16:18). Practically speaking, it makes much more sense to com-bine physical and human resources to establish a single sustainable congregation that can more effectively get about the business of making disciples and seeing Kingdom Advance in Virginia.

Religious Liberty CommitteeOfficial Report

The Religious Liberty Committee met only once this year, on May 6, from 10:30am to 3pm, at River Road Church, Baptist, in Richmond. It met then and there because its members had been invited to attend the annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, which met at that same place and on that date, and whose program was focused on religious liberty. Members attending were Ellis West (Chair), Mary Harris, Barrett Owen, Todd Blake, and Richard Clore. Also present was Ken Kessler, the RLC’s liaison to the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

At that meeting, the Chair reported that no bills significantly threatening religious liberty had been introduced at the 2017 Virginia General Assembly.

Then, the question was raised as to whether the size of the Committee should be increased from nine to twelve. After discussion it was decided, largely as a way of getting more Virginia Baptists involved in the cause of religious liberty, that the Chair should explore with the BGAV leadership the possibility of increasing the Committee’s size. (After the meeting, the Chair contacted the BGAV office, but as of the time this report was submitted, he had not received a response from it.)

The two major items of business then addressed were (1) whether to offer a breakout session at this year’s annual meeting of the BGAV and, if so, on what topic, and (2) whether to submit a resolution to the same meeting and, if so, on what issue. To facilitate decision-making on those two questions, the Chair reviewed the major issues relating to religious liberty that are currently “hot” topics. After discussion revealed that reasonably good arguments could be made on both sides of these issues, it was decided that the Committee would not take an official position on or submit a resolution on any of them.

The Committee, however, decided that one issue was of enough interest and importance that it should be the topic of the Committee’s breakout session at the annual meeting of the BGAV. That issue is whether the “Johnson Amendment” to the Internal Revenue Code, which prohibits tax-exempt, non-profit organizations, including churches, from endorsing political candidates or contributing to their campaigns, should be repealed or amended. The Committee further decided that the session should be entitled, The Johnson Amendment, A Dialogue, and involve two speakers with differing positions on the Amendment, and the Chair was charged with the task of finding the two speakers, subject to the approval of the Committee. After a lunch-break, the Committee met with Amanda Tyler, the new director of the Baptist Joint Committee on Religious Liberty, and information and opinions on the work of both the RLC and the BJC were exchanged. Amanda began by discussing some recent and planned innovations in the BJC’s work, which were warmly received by the Committee. The discussion then switched to other changes that the BJC might consider making, which led to a candid, but constructive sharing of ideas.

Throughout the discussion the one objective that all present seemed to agree on was the need for Virginia Baptist churches to do a better job of emphasizing religious liberty and educating their members about its importance, meaning, and rationale, especially as explained by our Baptist forebears. As a result of this consensus, by the end of the meeting with Amanda, the earlier decision not to submit a resolution to the annual meeting of the BGAV was revoked. Instead, it was decided that the RLC should submit a resolution calling on Virginia Baptists to increase their emphasis on and education about religious liberty.


After the RLC meeting adjourned, most of its members then attended a panel discussion on current challenges to religious liberty in America that was part of the annual meeting of the VBHS. During that program, the issue that was most vigorously discussed was whether ministers should take positions on political issues and candidates. As a result, several days later at the Chair’s suggestion and after an exchange of emails, the Committee decided to change the topic of the breakout session to the following: “Should Ministers Take Positions on Political Issues and Candidates? And Should Government Dictate the Answer to that Question?,” which, if possible, would still be addressed by two persons with somewhat differing views.Several weeks after the RLC meeting the Chair drafted a resolution in accord with what had been agreed on at the meeting. It was then submitted to the other members of the Committee for their input and eventual approval. It was also decided via email that the RLC would compile a bibliography of works on religious liberty written by or about Baptists in England and America and that it would be made available to anyone requesting it from the chair of the RLC. The Baptist Joint Committee on Religious Liberty also agreed to post the bibliography on its website.

Finally, it should be reported that the monthly postings on the BGAV website and elsewhere of historic passages on religious liberty have continued throughout the year. Most members of the RLC have taken turns selecting the passages, and for doing so, they should be commended.

RESOLUTION ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

WHEREAS religious liberty is a fundamental right bestowed by God on all humans;

WHEREAS it is guaranteed to Americans in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution;

WHEREAS it is a cornerstone of American life that serves to unify a diverse and often divided people;

WHEREAS religious liberty means freedom from laws discriminating for or against religion, particular religions, any religious beliefs or practices, or any persons/groups on account of their religion;

WHEREAS any legislation on religious matters, other than to protect religious liberty, threatens the integrity and vitality of the Christian faith;

WHEREAS among Americans today there is widespread confusion about the meaning and value of religious liberty, which has resulted in its sometimes being violated or misapplied;

WHEREAS Baptists, and Virginia Baptists in particular, have historically been champions and defenders of religious liberty; and

WHEREAS the Virginia Statute for Establishing Religious Freedom became law on Jan. 16, 1786, and Presidents have declared Jan. 16 of each year to be Religious Freedom Day;

THEREFORE, we, the messengers to the 2017 meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, call on all our member churches to:

1. Commit themselves explicitly, publicly, and officially to upholding religious liberty, especially as it was understood by early American Baptists and their ally, James Madison;

2. Ensure that religious liberty, especially as understood by early American Baptists and Madison, is regularly discussed and studied by their members, and their youth in particular;*

3. Place special emphasis on religious liberty on the Sunday preceding or closest to Jan. 16, Religious Freedom Day; and

4. Speak out against threats to and violations of religious liberty, if and when they occur in their own communities.

*A bibliography of sources is available upon request from the Chair of the Religious Liberty Committee and is also posted on the website of the Baptist Joint Committee on Religious Liberty.


With praise and thanksgiving to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we have gathered and in whose resurrection we live,

We, the messengers of the 194th meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, meeting at Hampton Roads Convention Center, Hampton, Virginia, November 13-15, 2017, do hereby make it known that:

We express our gratitude to the city of Hampton for its gracious hospitality.

We applaud the volunteers for all they have done to facilitate this annual meeting.

We give thanks to the Program Committee and commend the program participants for their positive and inspiring contributions. We are grateful to the staff of the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) for their faithful and thoughtful preparation of this annual meeting. We cherish their continuous, committed service to the BGAV, our churches, ministers, and lay people. We especially appreciate the exceptional leadership of John V. Upton, Jr., our Executive Director.

We are grateful for the service and contributions of our First Vice-President, George Fletcher; Second Vice-President, Michael Cheuk; Clerk, Fred Anderson; Assistant Clerk, Wayne Hannah; and Parliamentarians, Beth Fogg and Ray Duke.

We appreciate the dedicated leadership of our President, E. Stuart Crow, and his faithful service to Virginia Baptists.

Finally, we, the Baptist General Association of Virginia, commit to Him who is able to keep us from stumbling, and to make us stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. (Jude 24-25)

Annual Reportof the BGAV


Report of the Executive Directorof the BGAV

The Bible is simple, yet, shocking in its plots. Take for instance the story of Jesus walking up to two fishermen saying, “Come with me” and they get up and do it. He sees two more fishermen, says the same thing, and they, too, get up and follow. It seems so automatic.

It doesn’t take a huge stretch of the imagination to realize that among those who may be interrupted by a fresh call of Christ is very likely – the BGAV. And the historical setting of the story may very likely be right now.

So, there he is on the shore right in front of us, looking into our eyes, inviting us, saying, “Follow me!” We have to decide.

We have to decide, “Are we in, or, are we out?” There is risk in what he said but there is also joy in it. Somehow, the gladness in his eyes makes us want to put down what we’ve known to follow.

These moments of decisions are interesting moments. It is at these moments that we feel the burden of an invitation to do what in our core we strongly suspect is the right thing to do. It will certainly cost us something. It will be inconvenient and challenging but it could also be thrilling, offering some new way of being.

There is always the temptation, or even encouragement, to do nothing, just stay occupied with what has been done or just put off the decision. There were certainly other people fishing that day when Jesus walked up to Peter, John, Andrew, and James and issued his invitation. In the other boat were Dick, Jane, Bert, and Ethel. “Well, how safe is it?” asked Dick. “This is theologically problematic,” said Jane. “I am in an existential crisis,” proclaims Bert. “I’m just holding on as it is,” said Ethel. They turned to tell him they were thinking about it but Jesus had already gone.

In the most crucial matters it is possible to miss our chance. A moment arrives and it is time to choose, to act, to speak, to say “yes” to this and “no” to that, to commit to doing, choosing what is right.

Choosing the on-going journey with Christ means saying goodbye to old ways that control us, saying goodbye to the convenience of coasting or living in the illusions of ourselves. It also means saying goodbye to static living and fearful survival.

The Lake of Galilee is really the Lake of Decision. The word decision, at root, means “to cut.” It means to “cut from.” As the word incision means to cut into, the word decision means to cut away from, to be left with what you are persuaded is best.

For me, Jesus is standing on the lake shore speaking to the BGAV in a voice that says, “follow me.” It is an invitation to cut free from all that which cannot save us. It is an invitation to run with all our might to the way that will. It is a time of decision.

One final thing, it amazed me in the story how easy it was for the second pair to follow Jesus after they saw the first pair had already made the choice to go. They saw the gladness and the freedom in their faces. When we decide to follow, take our stand for his way in this world, it helps the rest to choose and to keep choosing what is right. The courage of one group’s faith can kindle the courage in others. And, so it will grow. It begins with us.

I hope this report begins to bear evidence of decisions made and a new world emerging.

• Some narrative pieces

- From Nic at VCU - A story that we are celebrating and that illustrates what God is doing through the BCM at VCU is that of a Junior Mechanical Engineering major named Phil (not his real name). Phil did not grow up as a Christian, but began coming to BCM last year through the invitation of his friend from high school (who is one of our small group leaders). Over the past year, we have watched Phil read through the Gospel of Matthew for the first time with a staff member, buy his first Bible, and begin to identify himself as a follower of Jesus. This Fall, we noticed that Phil has begun to be a constant participant in our outreach events, volunteered to lead in different aspects of our ministry, and started regularly attending a local church for the first time in his life. When I asked Phil about this, he told me that God has shown him so much through the BCM community, so he is being very intentional about taking every opportunity to continue growing and giving others the opportunity to encounter God like he has.

- From Darrell at VT - This has been an amazing year of ministry for the BCM at Virginia Tech. Among the best parts of the year: walking with 54 one-year commitment leaders, enjoying multiple weekends in which some BCM students were baptized at one of our local churches, and seeing our students dive in with partnership missions in Romania, Austria, and Southwest Virginia. We are investing deeply in this generation of young adults because Virginia Baptists care about reaching and equipping this next generation of church and community leaders.

The Baptist Extension Board was organized in 1940 during the church building boom that followed World War II. In the subsequent 77 years, its loan fund has grown to more than $15 million through interest on loan repayments and allocations from Virginia’s Cooperative Missions contributions. By lending money at attractive interest rates, the Baptist Extension Board assists churches, mission congregations, and district associations that are not able to secure full commercial financing. Loans are usually issued over a maturing date of 12 to 15 years. The interest rate is currently 4.00% for a first mortgage loan and 4.75% for a second mortgage loan and is reviewed by the Board at regularly scheduled meetings.

The 15-member board is comprised of both clergy and lay leaders who volunteer their time to serve. During the first nine months of the 2017 fiscal year, there were three loans approved totaling $1,030,000. These funds were requested for new construction projects, land purchases and renovations to existing church facilities. As of August 31, 2017 the Baptist Extension Board, Inc. services 70 loans with a combined balance of $15,437,937. The Baptist Extension Board, working with local associations, will secure and hold strategic locations for new congregations until they are able to initiate the start-up of a new congregation. Loans granted by the Baptist Extension Board are a Virginia Baptist investment in outreach. Several Virginia Baptist church starts in the last 77 years have significantly impacted their communities because of the financial assistance received from the Baptist Extension Board, Inc.

As reflected in the report of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, 2017 represents a year of transition for the Heritage Center. Nathan Taylor and Fred Anderson have worked together during a three-month period in preparation for this new chapter in the life of the Center, following Anderson’s exemplary tenure as founding Director since 1999. Since its inception, the mission of the Center has been fourfold:

1. To champion Baptist distinctives and Baptist heritage,

2. To provide educational opportunities related to Baptist distinctives, history and heritage,

3. To make available Baptist records and historical materials, and

4. To serve as a research center for undergraduates, scholars, and local church historians.

This mission continues. The year 2017 saw the culmination of the 2016-17 Heritage Fellows Class project, published as Keeping the Faith While Making Interfaith Relationships, by Emma Tilley of First Baptist, Richmond (William & Mary), Andrew Cook of Northstar Baptist, Blacksburg (Virginia Tech), and Virginia Tilley of First Baptist, Richmond (William & Mary). Featuring “accounts of strengthening understandings of ‘Being a Baptist’ while establishing relationships with those of other faiths,” the booklet is now available and was distributed at the Center’s annual convocation and the annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society in May. The Roots & Wings Young Scholars Essay Contest offered an opportunity for young Virginia Baptists to write about Religious Liberty. The first place winner was Lauren Golmon of Winn’s Baptist Church in Hanover County and the second place winner was Emma Cook of Northstar Church, Blacksburg.

The Heritage Center sponsored a Religious Liberty Convocation on May 16, 2017, held at River Road Church, Baptist. Approximately 50 clergy and laity participated and responded to a panel consisting of Amanda Tyler, new executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, Ellis West, retired political science professor at University of Richmond and chair of the BGAV’s standing committee on Religious Liberty, and Shelton Miles, a prior chair of that committee and a lobbyist on the state level in church/state matters. Moderated by host pastor Daniel Glaze, the conversation considered a variety of religious liberty issues, from


the travel ban to government-funded church playground repairs, concluding with an in-depth consideration of the “Johnson Amendment” and implications for its newly-threatened status.

Looking to the future, the Center is co-sponsoring an exciting new graduate course on religious liberty, currently in development with Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond and other partners for May 2018. The course will explore the history of dissent as a theological theme from the time of the early Baptists through the present and feature a concentrated week of experiences in Richmond and Washington, D.C. The theme of global religious liberty will guide CBHS programming for the year ahead. Development of a new website is underway to assist the Center in its endeavors.


GraceInside: Virginia’s Prison Chaplain Service

Annual Report

BGAV REPRESENTATIVES TO GRACEINSIDE’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES:Mrs. Emily BaileyMrs. Elwanda Cornelius

This thank you to a GraceInside chaplain was made possible by YOUR generous support. Listen in:

“I have great admiration for and gratitude to you for being a loving and caring shepherd who has guided me continuously through my “wilderness” experience. I have been in a time of great testing since September. Being able to meet with you, as well as share fellowship with the Worship Leadership Team, has kept my faith intact.

Although I know God will not test me beyond what I can bear, I am finding this period to be the most difficult I have ever experienced… I thank God for you.”

Because of your support, GraceInside provides 32 chaplains (many of whom are Baptist) to 35 institutions housing 30,000 incarcerated men and women. Because of our partnership with our Baptist friends and founders,these children of God have the opportunity to experience spiritual support through worship, Bible studies,support groups and individual pastoral care. Because of you, stories like the above are not uncommon. Prison can be a time of great testing – and tremendous growth. With the proper care and guidance, women and men can not only change their lives, but save their lives, too.

Addiction related offenses remain the number one reason for incarceration. Men and women arrive to prison broken, angry, often having been abused and struggling with how and where God might be in their lives.

Because of you, GraceInside’s chaplains are present to provide that loving Christian guidance so many need.


Yet, the biggest challenge GraceInside’s chaplains face is the need for more time to minister among their congregations. One institution with a 30 hour a week chaplain has over 1350 men - with waiting lists to attend worship. Ninety percent of men and ninety-eight percent of women will return to the community at some point. GraceInside’s chaplains are desperate to ensure that when they do get out, they take the love of Jesus Christ with them. In so doing, they not only transform their own lives, but the lives of their children, families and communities.

With your help, we can increase the hours GraceInside chaplains serve the incarcerated. More time equals more ministry: more love of Jesus, more healing, more grace and more hope. On behalf of those GraceInside serves, thank you for doing your part to honor Jesus command to “visit those in prison.” For when grace is on the inside, everyone wins.

“The Mission of HopeTree Family Services is to provide Christian residential, educational and support services to at-risk children and youth,

and to adults with developmental disabilities throughout Virginia.”

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens...” Ecclesiastes 3:1

The so-familiar passage from Ecclesiastes describes many vast extremes of life; extremes that encompass all the grandest aspects of human experience. Much like that well-loved passage, HopeTree Family Services encompasses extremes of life as well. We often experience a tremendous spiritual ache when we receive at-risk children into our care at the depth of their misery. However, we also share the joy of their accomplishments when they rise from that misery and stride forward into a new life with Christ.

Adults with intellectual disabilities dwell in our homes for many years. We are honored to share in their life experiences as well: the establishment of new friendships; the loss of loved ones; the acquisition of new skills; the gradual decline that life holds for us all. Throughout all these experiences, we find Christ at the center, providing the balance and strength we need to survive the troubled times and to give true meaning the joyous times.

HopeTree Family Services spans the Commonwealth with a network of care unrivaled by any other ministry serving at-risk children and youth or adults with intellectual disabilities. Our main campus and administrative offices are in Salem, yet our caring touch can be felt throughout Virginia. Guiding that touch is our abiding faith in Christ. HopeTree maintains a very active Christian Education Ministry which provides group Bible study, individualized mentoring sessions, arranges mission opportunities in conjunction with local churches, homeless shelters, and other community agencies. Furthermore, HopeTree employees strive to minister to those in their care through their daily interaction by mirroring Christ’s concern for those He ministered to with His own hands.

HopeTree actively seeks church involvement and support throughout the year in various ways. We certainly welcome church participation at Hope Events which generate funds for and awareness of our ministries. We also welcome a number of church groups who visit us throughout the year to perform work days, conduct


activities with residents, lead Bible studies, or tour our facilities to learn more about our programs. We value these groups because they are so willing to share our message with their own congregations. Our DDM Homes have standing relationships with local churches where residents participate in weekly worship services. Youth in our Residential Program in Salem visit a number of area churches on a regular basis in addition to participating in our on-campus services. Foster Families caring for our at-risk children and youth are very active in their local churches giving foster children the precious gift of church families of their own.

The ministries we provide in Salem include Residential and Foster Care programs for at-risk children and youth. The HopeTree Education Center stands at the heart of our Salem campus and houses both HopeTree Academy (an alternative school for our residents and for day students from neighboring school districts) and the Day Activities programming for our Developmental Disabilities Ministry (DDM). Foster Care services for the Roanoke Valley are also based on the Salem campus. We provide a wide range of Counseling Services for our residents and students attending HopeTree Academy. Twenty-three youth have been nurtured through our Residential program this year.

We are humbled that the Roanoke Valley community has responded so well to our Academy’s continued increase in instructional excellence. We typically serve students from up to six surrounding school districts in the Roanoke area and concluded the 2016-17 school year with our highest student population since the Academy began. In June, we graduated our largest class ever, with nine students receiving an impressive variety of diplomas and GED which all demonstrated how hard each student worked to take advantage of the educational opportunities placed before them. The Academy has served a total of 69 students during calendar year 2017.

HopeTree at WOODS (Wilderness Outdoor Opportunity Discovery School) in Craig County continues to provide adventure-based learning and behavioral enhancement for boys who would benefit from a specialized environment that features ample outdoor experiences in a natural setting. Plans are being made to update the program’s existing education facility. Plans are also underway to renovate the existing sleeping quarters to make them more homelike. Our over-arching goal for these efforts is to create the most effective living and learning environments possible while being good stewards of all our resources. Twenty-three boys have been served in the WOODS program this year.

Our traditional Residential program operating on our main campus in Salem continues to provide superior care for boys and girls in need of counseling, education, and a nurturing environment. Twenty-five boys and girls benefited this year from the shelter and comfort we provide.

A main trunk of HopeTree Family Services’ ministry continues to grow strong in the Richmond area. The Developmental Disabilities Ministry operates six group homes for adults in and around the Capital. HopeTree also maintains offices for Advancement Department and the DDM In-Home and managerial staff for the Eastern half of Virginia in the Baptist Resource Center. HopeTree’s newest group home, the Rockdale Home in Chesterfield, brings DDM’s total of group homes to 20 across the state.

HopeTree’s Foster Care services for the Richmond area are based in nearby Chester. Those offices recently moved to a larger office space due to the tremendous growth our foster care program is experiencing. As more and more social services groups become aware of our excellent services, they turn to us more often to care for children in need of foster families. As that need continues to increase, our need for loving, Christian foster families also increases. Last year, we moved the Chester office to a larger space so we could hire more social workers. We also opened a new Foster Care office in Martinsville. Now we have added additional staff to the Martinsville office which continues to be hosted by gracious staff and congregation of McCabe Memorial Baptist Church. The efforts of two foster parent recruiters, one in the Richmond region and one serving Salem and Martinsville areas, continue to garner excellent results through information and training sessions. Salem and Martinsville served in 44 foster children during the year while the Chester area has served 69.


In conjunction with Foster Care, the Developmental Disabilities Ministry provides the majority of our extended community presence across Virginia. We currently have 20 group homes for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the following locations: Abingdon, Salem, Martinsville, Blue Ridge, Farmville, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Virginia Beach. Many of these locations also provide respite and/or in-home services. HopeTree provided long-term care for 100 men and women this year in our homes. This ministry’s In-Home division allows men and women with intellectual disabilities to remain in the comfort and familiar settings of their own home while receiving the exceptional care and support associated with the Developmental Disabilities Ministry. Fourteen men and women were ministered to through this growing service.

As we near the end of our year, we look back on all that has happened with an appreciation that God’s hand was integral in all that we experienced. In total, HopeTree has cared for 335 individuals thus far in 2017 (114 in DDM, 221 in Children’s programs). By the time this report is published, that number will have grown.

We look forward with anticipation to see what great works lie ahead. As always, HopeTree will build upon the strong foundation we have to construct an even stronger, more effective ministry in the days to come.

LifeSpire of Virginia (formerly Virginia Baptist Homes) operates four thriving and welcoming continuing care retirement communities serving approximately 1,200 residents in Culpeper, Daleville, Newport News, and Richmond. As a family of faith-based communities with a growing Foundation that raises funds for benevolence, LifeSpire is dedicated to serving residents by providing them a fulfilling and worry-free lifestyle.

From its beginnings, LifeSpire has been an organization rooted in Christian faith and centered in Jesus Christ. LifeSpire’s vision for the future is focused on vibrant living where faith, wellness, and community flourish. LifeSpire empowers individuals with choices in purposeful living through our core values:

1. Faith: Loving God. Loving people. Respecting dignity. Welcoming all.

2. Servant-Leadership: Putting the needs of others ahead of ourselves.

3. Stewardship: Respecting the dignity of those we serve and managing the resources of the organization with integrity.

4. Integrity: Doing the right thing. Every. Single. Time.

5. Peace of Mind: Offering safety and security in an atmosphere of compassionate care.

6. Innovation: Providing best-in-class solutions and employing best practices to become an industry leader in senior living.

7. Joy: Finding deep satisfaction in our work that permeates our workplace.


Each LifeSpire community provides a full continuum of care to address the changing health needs of seniors with emphasis on five-star dining, hospitality, and wellness. Readily accessible assisted living, 24-hour nursing care, physical therapy, and memory support services give residents and their families peace of mind, knowing staff is always available to provide excellent service and care.

Most importantly, a culture of compassion remains at the heart of all we do. Ensuring that no resident is ever asked to leave due to insufficient funds defines the purpose of the VBH Foundation — to help provide funding wherever needs are greatest. With the increase in the aging population, which is also reflected among BGAV church congregations and other denominations, the challenge to provide benevolent support continues to increase. During 2016, the VBH Foundation provided more than $1,100,000 to 59 residents in our four communities. Of those, 69 percent were Baptist, 85 percent were female, 60 percent were 90 years old or older, and 63 percent were widows.

In an ever-changing landscape of senior adult living, LifeSpire remains true to its long-standing tradition of excellence, innovation, and compassion. This tradition continues to propel us forward into a future filled with promise and hope.

In fulfillment of its mission of strengthening and encouraging Christian Stewardship, the Virginia Baptist Foundation raised $8.3 million and distributed $6 million in 2016 to nearly 400 charitable causes including the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, HopeTree Family Services, the Religious Herald, the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, the Virginia Baptist Retirement Homes, Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia, 134 Baptist General Association of Virginia churches, all 8 of the BGAV’s commonwealth-based schools, colleges, military institutions or seminaries and 10 of her Baptist Associations. In fact over the past five years the Foundation has raised $35.9 million and distributed $33.7 million to hundreds of donor-directed charitable causes.

LegacyAs the chartered trust agency of Virginia Baptists since 1923 and a beneficiary of Cooperative Missions support since 1927, the Foundation accepts the responsibility of assisting any individual or Baptist church wishing to establish a customized plan for the use of their financial resources. In carrying out this charge, the Foundation recognizes each individual’s and church’s particular needs and performs a number of specialized services including:

• Receiving planned gifts for any Baptist cause;• Providing charitable estate planning assistance for individuals and their loved ones. This personalized

attention offers more than one plan for the donor to make permanent use of assets for Christian causes: bequests through wills, charitable remainder annuity and unitrusts, charitable gift annuities, the “Give It Twice” trust or concept of giving, lead trusts, donor-advised funds or a combination of several giving plans tailored to meet the donor’s goals or objectives;

• Providing assistance in preparation of wills with individuals and their various allied legal and financial advisors;

• Preparing trust or endowment documentation, investing the funds, administering the agreement, filing all tax reports and forms required, and distributing charitable income to the cause(s) of the donor’s choice according to the donor’s instructions;

• Assisting churches and associations in establishing estate stewardship programs and training committee members;

• Conducting seminars and workshops on charitable estate planning for churches and associations;• Providing programs for church meetings, worship services, and retreats;• Managing assets on a revocable basis for churches, associations, institutions, and missions causes;• Managing endowment and trust assets, maintaining accounting records on individual funds where the

donor has directed who is to receive the income;• Assisting development staffs of Baptist institutions that request estate planning computations and trust

documentation for individuals.


Serving alongside the donor’s allied professionals and utilizing planned giving software, the staff of the Foundation are able to provide individuals and their trusted advisors donor-friendly illustrations for carrying out the best plans for the perpetual use of the donor’s assets (i.e., cash, real estate, securities, life insurance, collectibles, individual retirement accounts, 401(k), etc.). As of June 30, 2017 the assets of the Foundation were approximately $140 million and are held as trust funds and endowment funds for numerous Baptist causes, including the academies, colleges, and universities; HopeTree Family Services; the Retirement Homes; churches and associations; Cooperative Missions; the State Missions Offering; National and International Missions; Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia; Baptist Men; programs and retreat properties of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, and other Baptist institutions and ministries.

Money ManagementEmploying the expertise of one of the nation’s leading investment consultants (The Vanguard Group), the Foundation manages over 1,000 accounts on behalf of various churches and BGAV ministry partners. These institutional accounts, managed in three socially screened investment portfolios (equity, balanced and fixed), certificates of deposit or money market programs, provide for our clients a diversified range of investment options. Through our low cost administration, monthly or quarterly performance reports and revocability according to the terms of the agreement, our goal is to improve the possibility of higher returns and lower the risk for long-term institutional investors. Whether your church, ministry or organization has been entrusted with building or facilities, cemetery, endowment, memorial, scholarship or other special funds, the Foundation can assist in the establishment, management and promotion of these institutional funds.

ScholarshipsFor many years the Foundation has awarded scholarships to qualifying Virginia Baptist students. In fact over the last ten years we have awarded $1.1 million in scholarships to 573 recipients ($1,919 avg.) from across the commonwealth.

On May 21, 2017, the Foundation hosted its 10th Annual Scholarship Reception awarding $152,000 in scholarships to 82 undergraduate and graduate students. These recipients (who boast a grade point average of 3.98!) were chosen from a pool of over 200 applicants and representing 141 BGAV churches and 37 of her associations.

Aside from their stellar academic records and numerous school activities, our scholarship recipients are involved in a myriad of Christian and social ministries from Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, youth choirs, Impact VA, campground ministries, mission trips, Royal Ambassadors, Girls in Action and Acteens, Passport Mission Camps, Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Relay for Life events, Stop Hunger Now, Habitat for Humanity builds, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals efforts, community theater groups and nursing home or rehabilitation centers. We are thankful to God for what He continues to do great things through yet another generation of Virginia Baptists.

Our FutureThe future of Kingdom Advance ministries and that of the Virginia Baptist Foundation will be realized through the planned or estate giving of today’s Christian stewards. In a day when the average Virginia Baptist contributes $14.48 weekly (Source: 2015 BGAV Annual, Pg. 323) to support the ministries of the church, we invite our Virginia Baptist family to consider their total or estate stewardship and join these champions of the faith in supporting the causes that embody our Christian heritage.

Annual Report

The major story for the VBHS and the Heritage Center for 2017 is the transition in leadership. On April 6, 2017, in a joint meeting of the governing bodies of both organizations held at First Baptist Church, Richmond, Rev. Nathan L. Taylor was unanimously elected as executive director, to begin May 1. He comes to the role after ten years of congregational experience as a minister of Christian formation/education and expects to complete the Doctor of Ministry degree from Mercer University in 2018. Taylor fills the position held since 1979 by the Society’s first full-time executive director and the Center’s founding executive director, Fred Anderson, who earlier in the year shared his intentions to retire by the end of July. A three-month period in which the two worked together helped to ensure a healthy transition for this unique role. Conferred the title of executive director emeritus by the Society, Anderson plans to engage in research and writing, and will assist with the Society’s collections and the University Archives, which is managed by the VBHS.

The annual meeting of the society was held May 16, 2017, at River Road Church, Baptist, in Richmond. The theme of “Religious Liberty & the Baptists” included affirmation of Anderson’s 38-year tenure and installation of Taylor as new executive director. The program celebrated the existing 18th century Virginia Baptist churches and their role in securing religious liberty. These congregations were well-represented in attendance, as Anderson offered once again his cherished speech, “A Rusty Piece of Iron,” with the lock and key of the Culpeper jail on display in the center of the chancel. Anderson and Taylor then transitioned to the pulpit, at which the outgoing director passed to the incoming director the key to the Culpeper jail, in a symbolic transfer of custodianship. The evening culminated in an inspiring keynote address offered by Amanda Tyler, J.D., executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, entitled Protecting Pluralism: Why and How Baptists Defend Religious Liberty for ALL. The Society also announced the creation


and designation of the Anderson Gallery, an enhancement project for the previously unnamed entry gallery and welcome area, for which plans are now underway. At a retirement gathering in early June, Anderson was celebrated with commendations offered by a panoply of friends and family representing the Society, the Center, BGAV and beyond.

The 2017 Virginia Baptist Register will feature Baptists of the Northern Neck, researched and written by Fred Anderson. VBHS will co-sponsor a course with Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond and other partners on the history of dissent and the Baptist contribution to religious liberty, currently in development for 2018.

One of the important ministries of the Historical Society continues to be assisting Virginia Baptist churches with records preservation. The Society’s church records repository includes 4, 216 church record books from 506 Virginia Baptist churches. The records repository as well as the Society’s archives and library are in constant use by researchers. From Fall 2016 - Fall 2017, there were 223 researchers who used the Baptist collection, as aided by VBHS staff. These included Virginia Baptist ministers, church clerks and historians, genealogists, and faculty and students of the University of Richmond and other universities. Among the many researchers was a religion professor from Baylor University investigating the diaries of William H. Whitsitt for insight concerning Whitsitt’s relationship with Crawford Toy.

The Society’s collection continues to increase. During this period, there were 39 major acquisitions to the collection and a total of 1,174 items added to the various files. Among recent additions was a new history of Harcum College in Pennsylvania, which has Virginia Baptist connections through its founder, Edith Hatcher Harcum, a daughter of William E. Hatcher. Interestingly, when Anderson and the author visited Hollywood Cemetery where Edith Harcum is buried, they discovered that there was no tombstone to mark the final resting place of this founder who had given her all to the institution that bears her name. Thus, on June 7, 2017, Anderson and Taylor joined a small delegation of Harcum staff, including current president Jon Jay DeTemple, for the dedication of an appropriate tombstone at Harcum’s grave. Anderson delivered a commemorative address about the Hatcher family for the ceremony, which was livestreamed. A series of pages from the parish records of a 17th century French cathedral, which had survived the French Revolution after being hidden behind a stone wall, was a notable addition to the collection in 2017. The VBHS was very pleased to contribute (on loan) a handmade offering basket, c. 1875, for the unprecedented “Religion in Early America” exhibit at the Smithsonian, open through June 2018.

In the summer and fall of 2017, Taylor has taken up the ministry of celebrating Virginia Baptist church anniversaries and educating about Baptist heritage through preaching and teaching engagements across the Commonwealth. Likewise, groups and individuals of all ages continue to make appointments to tour the Heritage Gallery, including guests from across the United States and beyond. A new website is currently in production to enhance the work of the VBHS.

MissionWoman’s Missionary Union of Virginia (WMUV) continues to inspire and equip women (and the entire church) to influence the world for Christ. WMUV exists to affirm Christ’s call on a woman’s life, to strategize and execute missional responses to the world’s needs and to develop missional leaders of all ages.

MinistriesThe ministries of WMUV directly aim to fulfill our mission.

Education – Leaders continue to teach age-level missions organizations: Mission Friends, Girls in Action/Children in Action, RAs (Royal Ambassadors) and Acteens/Students on Mission. National WMU develops the missions discipleship materials for these organizations. In continued support of strengthening the local church, WMUV hosts missional discipleship events for these age-level organizations. As WMUV today aims to educate on what our Executive Director/Treasurer refers to as “taboo” life issues, WMUV through HOPE (Working Together in the HOPE of Christ) ministries are educating the church in the areas of Human Trafficking and Mental Health to include resources for missional involvement.

Support – WMU is the promoter of denominational life to ensure the support of the spread of the gospel at home and around the world. WMUV facilitates the annual mailings for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (International Missions), the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (National Missions) and the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions (State Offering). As WMUV is not limited to only traditional denominational support networks, we promote the work of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Women’s Department of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA). In 2017, WMUV financially partnered in the work of the Baptist General Associations, Women’s UPTICK to begin an international UPTICK network through the Women’s Department of the BWA. In 2017, WMUV awarded $19,860 in scholarship support to 26 people across Virginia and around the world. This included college scholarships for Summer Camp Staff at CrossRoads Camp and Conference Center, camper scholarships for children, 3 seminary scholarships for women and 4 Missionary Kid (MK) Re-Entry Retreat Scholarships. WMUV continues the support of one child at Source of Light Center in Haiti. Prayer support is always promoted as it continues to be a major value in the practice of WMU.

Involvement – WMU continues to mobilize for missions involvement. WMUV currently engage in missional partnerships with leaders of the Standing Rock Reservation in The Dakota’s, Romania, Ghana, Southwest


Virginia and North Carolina. Leaders in the local church continue to connect members to community missions as well. In several churches with no WMU, the former WMU leaders have become the de-facto Missions Coordinators for the church. Involvement also includes praying and giving as well.

Camping & Conferencing – For 100 years, WMUV has supported the local church in providing a Christian camping venue for Virginia Baptists. From 3 geographically dispersed locations to one centrally located in the state, Camp Little CrossRoads and later named CrossRoads Camp and Conference Center, WMUV continues to host summer camp for children. This ministry also provides leadership development opportunities for students and young adults that serve as summer camp counselors. An added asset to choosing CrossRoads as a retreat venue this year has been the addition of high adventure activities on property.

Financials WMUV values its longstanding partnership with the BGAV in the sharing of resources for cooperative ministry. WMUV operations and ministries funding comes from the Virginia Baptist Cooperative Missions, the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions and individual contributions and program fees.

Strategic Goals 2015 - 2020 UpdateMinistry processes and activities in which WMUV engage are focused on our strategic goals birthed from a 2014 organizational assessment. Below is an update on 4 of the 9 strategic focuses:

• WMUV ministries continues to have rapid increase in participation in terms of racial diversity and more slowly in the area of age diversity.

• We are committed to renovating CrossRoads Camp and Conference Center one project at a time and paying-as-we-go. Renovations at CrossRoads continue to be made possible with gifts made to Campaign140. Our current focus for Campaign140 funding is to have an elevator installed in Hunt Hall so that the facility can adequately accommodate children and adults with mobility issues.

• Strengthen the local church through missions education and involvement opportunities has always been a value of WMU. This year, we hosted listening sessions throughout Virginia to assess the cultural climate of doing WMU in a complex and changing church. Encountering churches where WMU is thriving and churches where there is an individual WMU leader involving the entire church, we recognize the need to not abandon but to support traditional models while embracing new ones.

• Perception becomes reality especially in rapidly changing times. WMUV HOPE events are missional discipleship opportunities that are aiding in changing the perception of WMU and its relevancy for the church today. WMU has always raised awareness on social issues and have met human needs in a missional context. Our HOPE: Mental Health emphasis addresses one of those human issues that impact the everyday lives of families in the church and the community. In our spring Board meeting, a message was delivered from pastors in the Danville/Martinsville areas thanking WMUV for courageously championing such a taboo subject as Mental Illness.

Annual Report

*BGAV appointed

When Averett Alumni are asked to describe their time at Averett, there are two words that are used often and those are — Life Changing. Students leave our campus different than when they arrived. Our focus is on developing and coordinating our educational offerings to promote a holistic education for our students. A key facet of college life for students is finding their vocation – their true calling in life. We want our students to feel energized and be their authentic selves through many opportunities to explore how they can give back to their community. Serving others is a part of the fabric of Averett University, and giving our students opportunities, and encouraging them to serve, we hope to instill a deep desire to serve others in our students that will last beyond their time at Averett.

How students deal with theological questions has implications for the very many practical decisions that they have made — choice of college, majors and so on — and will make. Seeking answers to these questions is directly relevant to developing personal qualities such as self-understanding, empathy, caring and social responsibility. Spiritual growth has to do with how we grow into the values that we hold most dear: Our sense of who we are becoming, where we come from, understanding our beliefs about why we are here and our sense of connectedness to one another and to the world around us.

Throughout Averett’s history, the University’s mission has evolved in synchrony with societal changes while remaining rooted in tradition. The mission of Averett University is to prepare students to serve and lead as catalysts for positive change. Our vision is to be a premier student-centered University renowned for innovative teaching and engaged learning. This mission and vision drive the work of everyone at Averett every single day.

“…to Serve and Lead as Catalysts for Positive Change”At Averett University, we want our students to take away much more than a degree after their time here. We want to prepare them fully to be catalysts for positive change. Twenty-first century employers consistently tell us that employees are lacking soft skills: teamwork, communication and writing. Averett took this to heart and changed our total graduate preparation focus to one that includes engaged learning with our


Center for Community Engagement and Career Competitiveness. Our students are performing not just in the classroom and on the field, but also throughout the surrounding community. Community service is woven into the DNA of Averett, and many of our students, faculty and staff have a hand in making a lasting impact in the region through their service. Today, more than one-third of our academic courses comprise service learning and opportunities for internships, undergraduate research and student volunteerism, all of which have been integrated throughout the student experience.

There are 25 service-learning courses being taught this fall, including all 18 sections of Averett 101, our freshman seminar class. Fulfilling our mission of preparing students to serve and lead as catalysts for positive change begins with their first day on campus, and continues throughout their four years at Averett. The seven other service-learning classes represent the departments of physical education, business, equestrian studies, English, and more.

In addition to our service-learning courses, this fall, Averett is cultivating its own Bonner Leaders program, connected to the national program under the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation. The National Bonner Leaders Program at Averett University is an intensive, four-year community leadership opportunity that educates, equips and inspires students to engage our local community and beyond.

Averett is also partnering with the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County to create two service year fellowships for recent Averett graduates. The two localities will each host one fellow to volunteer in the region through a year of service to the community at the respective Parks and Recreation Departments. This partnership is the first-of-its-kind and Averett is the only private institution in the Commonwealth that is providing this opportunity to recent graduates.

Through participation in engaged learning activities, Averett students have the opportunity to interact with people who are different from themselves with respect to values, lifestyle, religion, race and ethnicity. These interactions, combined with appropriate critical reflection activities, raise students’ awareness of their own cultural identities and encourage them to develop a conscious appreciation of diversity. Through participation in various group activities, students become more aware of their personal strengths and of how these skills can assist a group or a community in achieving their goals. By working side-by-side with nonprofit agency professionals and their clients, Averett students become more aware of their role in society and of the importance of community collaboration.

In addition to opportunities through the Center for Community Engagement and Career Competitiveness, Averett student-athletes also have two additional opportunities to give back through the USA South Athletic Conference’s “Pennies for a Purpose” and “Cans Across the Conference” competitions held each year. Our Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) raised a record $4,511 to claim its third consecutive “Pennies for a Purpose” competition. The amount the Cougars raised is the highest single-year total collected in the history of this competition. Donations were split between the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research, the Rape Abuse Incest National Network (RAINN) and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. In the “Cans Across the Conference Competition,” Averett collected 14,142 items, which was the most in school history, the third-most garnered items in a single year by an institution in the history of the competition, and enough for Averett’s second consecutive victory in the competition. Averett’s items were donated to God’s Storehouse in Danville.

Past, Present, FutureAverett recognizes and embraces our responsibility as the only four-year university in the region. We demonstrate our responsiveness to regional interests by adapting Averett’s programs and initiatives to bring about lasting and positive growth for not only the University, but also for the regions we serve. The stronger Averett is, the stronger this region is; the stronger this region is, the stronger Averett is. We continually work to be a positive aspect of this community and to be an institution that is not just focused on ourselves, but on all those around us.


Averett University was founded in 1859 as a women’s college. In the 158 years since, Averett has grown to become a coeducational four-year University that is growing steadily. The University enrolls approximately 1,700 undergraduate and graduate, online and on-ground students from 26 states and 24 countries. Averett offers more than 30 undergraduate majors, minors and special programs, and three master’s degree programs with a number of concentrations. Both traditional and adult students from across the Commonwealth and beyond make up a diverse student body, including a large international enrollment and students from all walks of life, as well as an alumni network that spans all 50 states and 38 countries. Averett’s historic main campus is located in Danville, Virginia, with five other campuses and learning centers throughout Virginia, as well as online courses and degree programs that serve our Graduate and Professional Studies students.

At Averett, we believe in the liberal arts — it is our foundation. We strongly believe in the importance of well-rounded students who have been exposed to many different subjects and have the opportunity to explore them further, rather than simply concentrating on the area in which they are majoring. What Averett students learn in the classroom can be applied directly to the careers they pursue after graduation.

Averett’s faculty, staff, and student leaders afford students the opportunity to find their passion and turn it into action. This fall, we welcomed 371 new students, which makes this the largest entering class in Averett’s recorded history! These first year students come to us from 16 states and 14 foreign countries, with an average GPA of 3.18. Also in this new class are student-athletes who make up our new men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse, and men’s wrestling teams, which will all begin play this year.

Workforce trends and emerging needs in the market demand responsive new programs and curricula to provide an educated workforce. Averett has responded to the increased healthcare demands of the region including an aging population, more complex health needs, and rural distances, by creating a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, in partnership with the Danville Regional Foundation, Tobacco Commission, SOVAH Health and clinical sites. Physician shortages, as well as a medically under-served region, create a need for advanced nursing practitioners. Averett is addressing this need by working with area healthcare providers to develop new career pathways for nurses, and Masters-level certificate programs for Family Nurse Practitioners to create a pipeline of prepared professionals, with ready, high-paying jobs guaranteed by medical centers.

Computer-based crimes are one of the fastest growing activities in the world. Every aspect of our economy, industry, commerce, public safety, homeland security and national defense rely on computer networks and systems. Individuals with Cyber Security and Computer Forensic analytic skills, knowledge and abilities are projected to be one of the fastest growing occupations in the economy. Averett is moving forward with government and private industry partners to develop a scaffolded approach to increase the pipeline and availability of cyber security professionals with a Certificate in Cyber Security that is tailored for accelerated 18 credits as a stand-alone, and will enhance IT professionals, MBA business professionals, and criminal justice professionals’ knowledge and resistance to cyber warfare.

Additionally, the Business Department is adding new minors for the BBA program, as well as planning a master’s degree in applied analytics.

Strengthening our CommunityAverett was very excited to host approximately 1,000 Baptist youth and staff members for five weeks of Passport and IMPACT camps this summer. This year was Passport’s sixth summer and IMPACT’s fifth. The campers slept in our residence halls, ate in our dining hall, worshiped in our Violet T. Frith Fine Arts Center, and did missions work throughout the City of Danville. Passport and IMPACT are both ecumenical youth mission camps that bring young people together for work on different rebuilding and revamping projects. Hosting these campers each summer is a wonderful way to extend Averett’s mission of preparing students to serve and lead as catalysts for positive change into younger students, and into all of the City of Danville


through the students’ hard work and service for the betterment of the entire region. We are thankful to host these wonderful, service-minded young people, and look forward to seeing them serving others each year.

Religious LifeReligious Life at Averett is vibrant, dynamic, and affords students opportunities to grow and nurture their faith. In his third year on campus, Reverend Skyler Daniel continues to share a weekly devotional to Averett students, faculty, and staff online, provides counseling and mentorship to students, leads campus prayers and condolences, visits students in the hospital, and oversees student campus ministries and spiritual life programs. He also continues to facilitate partnerships with the BGAV, the Center for Community Engagement and Career Competitiveness, local churches and church leaders, and other organizations to continue to enhance Averett’s spiritual life, as well as impact our Danville community.

Averett maintains its decades-long history of a Baptist Student Union, now called Christian Student Fellowship, and CSF Focus – with approximately 30 students involved. These groups meet regularly for prayer, fellowship and meals in Blount Chapel on campus; additionally, the Christian Student Fellowship praise band that was formed last year continues to develop well.

New this year is an Averett Chapel service held twice a month. On the second and fourth Thursday of each month, a campus-wide voluntary, non-sectarian Christian chapel service is held at 11:15 a.m. in Blount Chapel. No official student, staff, athletic or faculty meeting is to be held during this time; in addition to setting this time aside for the Averett Chapel, other individuals and/or groups may (or are encouraged to) use this time for their own religious, spiritual or reflective purposes.

Innovative Teaching, Engaged LearningOver the last two years, Dr. Ralph Hawkins, director of the religion program, has partnered with Dr. David Ben-Shlomo, of Ariel University, to spearhead a pioneering archaeological project in the Jordan Valley. In the summer of 2017, they led students and volunteers in the excavation of an ancient village near the Jordan River that may have been inhabited by Israelites during the time associated with Joshua and the time of the Judges. They are currently planning another excavation for 2019.

In the fall of 2017, the religion program applied to Theta Alpha Kappa (TAK) the national honor society for religious studies, to launch a chapter at Averett. Having a chapter of TAK at Averett will enhance the educational experience of its current majors and minors in religion, and will also make our program more appealing to prospective students.

Uptick for WomenFor the sixth year, Averett was honored to host eight participants in a day-long Uptick for Women session facilitated by President Tiffany M. Franks. This year’s event was held June 8 at Dr. Franks’ home. Uptick is a leadership process for high-potential missional leaders, providing an accelerated track for those who have already demonstrated significant potential for religious leadership. Uptick for Women connects women to a community of leaders, provides greater clarity of their missional calling and a deeper understanding of their identity as a leader and woman. In essence, it empowers women and gives them access to opportunities in their vocation.

MomentumTo describe the past year at Averett University in one word: Momentum. This year has been exhilarating, inspiring, challenging, affirming, progress-filled, and exciting.

Averett has reached its highest ranking yet as the No. 17 best regional liberal arts college in the south this year by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, Averett climbed in other rankings, being named the seventh best regional college in the south for veterans in 2018, as well as the ninth-ranking Southern regional college for best value.


We have completed the first phase of our Residence Hall Master Plan, and in April, kicked off the “Campaign for Main” at a largely attended announcement on the steps of the University’s most iconic building: Main Hall. After an anonymous $2.5 million signature investment, this phase is an effort to raise another $2 million over the next few months to begin renovations to Main Hall in the summer of 2018. Main Hall represents the beginning of Averett’s campus, and will therefore be the first of several residential spaces to undergo renovations over the course of the next decade and beyond. This first phase will include renovations to the third and fourth floors of Main Hall, increasing the bed count from 24 to 76 beds. In addition, the penthouse level, currently not in use, will be renovated into a shared lounge space, including a community kitchen and group study spaces.

We have launched a new initiative entitled “Resiliency through Growth Mindset.” Research suggests the assumptions students make about the malleability of their own intelligence impact their resilience and thus their academic achievement. This initiative is intended to provide interventions that will be successful in changing mindsets and promoting student success and persistence. Five courses incorporating Growth Mindset are being taught this fall.

Our Equestrian IDA team won the 2017 National Intercollegiate Dressage Association National Championship. We competed against Division I schools from the MAC, the Big West, the SEC and the ACC.

It is never dull at Averett. We use our Averett 2020 Strategic Plan to focus our attention and resources. We continually work extra hard to ensure that our students succeed. We take new paths, exploring new programs and initiatives opportunistically, always moving forward. We are being innovative in the classroom, on our campuses, and in our surrounding region. We will continue building upon our momentum and give deep thanks for all those who help us provide a life changing experience for future generations of students.

Over the past year, BTSR celebrated her 25th Anniversary, honored Dr. Ron Crawford for a decade of service as president, and welcomed Dr. Linda McKinnish Bridges as the third president of BTSR. BTSR now has over 700 alumni serving across the globe as ministers, non-profit and higher education leaders. Our alumni are literally changing the world, and they are returning to BTSR to offer their support and affirmation. This past year 15% of our alumni made a gift to BTSR. That’s an increase of about 150% over the past two years, and we are well on the way to our ambitious goal of 95% alumni support to the BTSR Annual Fund. BTSR is expanding immersive theological formation opportunities to doctors, lawyers, and retired professionals who want to make a difference in the world. These individuals are also investing in the seminary with transformational gifts, allowing BTSR to sustain and enhance offerings for all students and alumni. While recent studies show rapid decline in the institutional church, BTSR is transforming the Church through innovative partnerships that invest in the future. BTSR now partners with Averett University to offer a M.Div. & MBA, for those called to ministry and business. BTSR offers a Master of Christian Ministry for those called to remain in church ministry while they engage in deep theological study. The BTSR Doctor of Ministry Program trains ministers to engage contextual leadership, to better understand and navigate changes within their church.

Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond officially welcomed her third president, Linda McKinnish Bridges on July 1, 2017. Dr. Bridges was selected after a


comprehensive nationwide search led by a BTSR committee consisting of trustees, faculty and staff, with assistance from AGB Search.

Dr. Bridges was ordained to the Gospel ministry in 1990 by the Northminster Baptist Church in Richmond. She served as the founding professor of Biblical Interpretation, Ancient Greek and New Testament Interpretation at BTSR from 1991 to 2001. In addition to her experience as a founding faculty member, Dr. Bridges brings student recruitment, business management and fundraising expertise to BTSR. We are excited about this next chapter!

We are pleased to host our 2016-17 Coffee and Conversation lecture series: Seasons of the Soul. This year’s series focuses on spirituality and spiritual formation with a dynamic panel of speakers. The four Coffee & Conversations, sponsored by Hampton Baptist Church in honor of Rev. Chester Brown, will feature a 20-minute lecture followed by a 40-minute dialogue. Those sessions are as follows:

• 9/26: Karen-Marie Yust, “Digital Spirituality” • 11/7: Michael Battle, “The Convict Christ: A Christian Spirituality of Restorative Justice” • 2/13: Lerita Coleman Brown, “Listening in Silence, Stillness, and Solitude” • 4/10: Michael Sciretti, “Con-Templing Spirituality”

Each session begins at 11:30am in the BTSR chapel, followed by lunch. In January, we will host our second annual Pastors’ School sponsored by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Virginia. Rev. Marjorie Thompson will lead us in a lecture and exercises weaving together personal and corporate spiritual practices. The afternoon sessions will include exercises to help nurture the pastors’ own spirituality. Thanks to the generous gift of our partners, these events are free and open to the public. We look forward to using these opportunities to continue to train and equip area leaders for ministry in the 21st century.

BTSR offers four degrees and a Certificate program:

Master of Divinity:M.Div. students may select a concentration in Biblical Interpretation, Christian Education, Justice and Peace building, Theology or Youth and Student Ministries. These different concentrations are built on the same foundation of theological education that focuses on spiritual formation, global mission immersion and a congregational focus. Students may also pursue a dual degree program and earn a Master of Social Work or Master of Science in Patient Counseling with their M.Div. through a special partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University. In addition to these dual degrees BTSR offers a Master of Divinity and Master of Business Administration degree with Averett University.

Doctor of Ministry:The program utilizes Bowen Family Systems theory to provide contextual leadership focus. Core seminars begin online and culminate with a one-week residential intensive twice a year. Elective courses can be taken on campus, online, or as independent studies.

Master of Theological Studies:A degree program intended for students preparing for teaching or theological research, preparation for non-ordained ministry, or those interested in their own general education. This degree program provides

Dr. Linda McKinnish Bridges


exposure to a broad range of theological disciplines, including Christian history, ethics, biblical studies, and theology, along with cultural and social concerns.

Master in Christian Ministry:A professional-academic degree program designed to prepare women and men for competent leadership in specialized ministries in their faith communities. This program provides students with practical ministry training shaped by a firm grounding in rigorous theological studies. It is designed to meet the need for ministerial leadership training for the wide range of possibilities for 21st century ministry settings.

Graduate Certificate in Theological Studies:This program is focused toward church laity who desire deeper studies in Bible and Theology. This certificate can serve as a gateway to formal application to a degree program at BTSR for those exploring their calling or who desire to begin formal theological studies but are not ready to commit to a program of study. This certificate requires only eighteen hours of course work.

BTSR faculty and staff members are active in local congregations. Faculty and staff members regularly preach and teach in local churches. Several faculty and staff members work part-time in local congregations. On any given Sunday, virtually every faculty and staff member is either leading worship, teaching (as a guest), or actively participating in his or her own church. BTSR has 732 graduates – most of who have served, or are serving Virginia Baptist churches.

Annual Report


“Resiliency,” said historian David Armbrister in his book Lighthouse on the Hill, is a word that fittingly describes the story of Bluefield College, founded in 1922 by the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) after being persuaded by a group of supporters from Bluefield, who offered land, money, prayer and additional support, to establish a new Virginia Baptist college in southwest Virginia.

Created for the purpose of serving as “a powerful lighthouse for the youth [of Appalachia] to whom no college had come before” (BGAV Report, 1923), Bluefield College has required much support to continue this objective through the years. As Dr. Armbrister noted, “if there had not been men and women of strong faith, characterized by their willingness to make great sacrifices, the college might not exist today.” We can be thankful, he added, “for that band of men who made that trip to Bristol, Virginia, in a day when travel was not easy. The enthusiasm and drive that they took with them established a model that others would follow in supporting a Baptist college for southwest Virginia. The courage and determination that accompanied their great belief that the school was in God’s plan continued to uplift and guide the institution through its early years. These same qualities and convictions have enabled the school to emerge as one of Virginia’s leading institutions of higher learning today.”

And today, with a mission to be “an inclusive Christ-centered learning community developing transformational servant leaders who understand their life calling,” Bluefield College continues to be proud of and devoted to its relationship with the BGAV and endures to equip and train the next generation of Virginia Baptists to serve and transform the world as demonstrated best through the actions of its students and the accomplishments and testimonies of its alumni.

Consider, for example, the ways in which students are growing in their faith at Bluefield College through weekly chapel services, Bible studies, conferences, retreats, and other ministry activities. They are developing spiritually through the college’s annual Christian Emphasis Week where students are exposed to nationally known evangelists and are making professions of faith.


In addition, students from Bluefield Collegiate Ministries and the church music and Christian drama programs are traveling to congregations across the Commonwealth to assist with discipleship and worship and to impact local communities and those in the pew. Likewise, hundreds of youth from Virginia Baptist churches are traveling to Bluefield to take part annually in Impact and in BC’s Winter Blast, a three-day extreme winter worship adventure that includes skiing at nearby Winterplace. All this and more is evidence of the fulfillment of the “Christ-centered” portion of Bluefield College’s mission. Just ask former student Whitney Browning.

“At Bluefield College, I was not only ministered to, but learned how to minister to others. The ministry side of campus provided me with opportunities for spiritual growth at every level. Through ministry at Bluefield, I was taught servant leadership skills that changed the way I led on my soccer team, in ministry, and in everyday life.” -- Whitney Browning, class of 2017

And not only is Christ at the core of the BC learning experience, but also academic excellence through the liberal arts and professional studies, and not just for traditional students on campus from Central Appalachia, but also non-traditional learners earning their degrees online across the Commonwealth and beyond. The demonstration of that pursuit of academic excellence is best seen in BC students – students studying challenging and innovative courses in the Honors Program; students traveling to the Croatan National Forest, the Amazon Forest, China, Brazil and other places around the world to learn about the history, traditions, animals and people of other cultures and environments; students creating literary magazines, newspapers and art shows; and students incorporating real-world work experience into the learning process of the online classroom.

The academic excellence is also evident in BC faculty, who recently developed two new master’s degree programs in nursing and business administration, along with an undergraduate program in cybersecurity, bringing the college’s total academic offerings to more than 40 traditional undergraduate programs, eight online undergraduate programs, and four online graduate programs. Faculty have also been busy offering unique courses in sign language and extended study opportunities in global education, black history, entrepreneurship, the Appalachian culture, and best practices in teaching.

For its efforts toward academic excellence, Bluefield College has been ranked among the Top Tier Colleges in the South by U.S. News and World Report and recognized by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni as one of just 22 colleges in America with an A-rated core curriculum. The college has also been recognized among the top 30 online colleges in the nation; among the best online Christian colleges in America; and among the top three online colleges in Virginia.

“At Bluefield, I was continually challenged to achieve excellence. The subjects were relevant and allowed students to integrate personal and professional experiences with the academic concepts. The frequent small class discussions challenged us to ask ourselves ‘how much do we really know about our career field.’” -- Brett Reistad, class of 2004

Students are also fulfilling the Bluefield College mission as they become servant leaders. Practicing service above self, they are participating in mission trips and service projects that touch the lives of at-risk youth, disadvantaged Appalachian women, the hungry, the lonely, the lost and others in need not only in the community, but also abroad. And, bringing the mission field to BC students, missionaries on furlough are coming to campus as part of the school’s Missionary in Residence Program that allows them to share the value of their international experiences with students while enjoying respite from their work. All this and more in an effort to develop not just leaders, but transformational servant leaders.

“I am most grateful for the opportunities I had to grow at Bluefield College. I was given the opportunity to experience leadership in unrivaled ways. Even in the painful, difficult moments of leadership, my mentors and peers continually reminded me that our lives are constantly in the process of tempering and that we must be uncomfortable, awkward, and at


the end of ourselves for God to do His work in us. Bluefield has inspired me to not only live in community, but to be a creator of community with the Creator of all things ever-before and ever-behind my endeavors.” -- Amelia Charles, class of 2014

For its commitment to servant leadership, the college has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education with its President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll distinction, and for their service, integrity, respect, responsibility and sportsmanship, BC student-athletes have earned a Champions of Character Five Star award from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

As a result of Bluefield College’s faithfulness to its mission, students are finding and fulfilling their calling. They are being equipped with more than just the knowledge and tools they need for a successful career. Instead, they are developing and leaving with a sense of calling to a vocation and an enjoyable and meaningful life grounded in faith, adaptable to a changing global environment, and given to caring for and serving others.

“I had to overcome many obstacles on my journey, and everyone at Bluefield College made it possible. God called me to be a nurse as the way He wants me to serve Him, and I didn’t think a bachelor’s degree could ever be possible. However, with God all things are possible, and Bluefield’s online program was part of His plan to fulfill the calling of all nurses that have the desire to further their education and more fully serve Him.” -- Christine Brewster, class of 2014


Fork Union Military AcademyAnnual Report

About Fork Union Military AcademyFork Union Military Academy is a private, college-preparatory, Christian boarding school for boys located in Fluvanna County in Virginia. Founded in 1898 by Dr. William E. Hatcher, the Academy offers an extensive college preparatory program for boys in grades 7 through 12, as well as for recent high school graduates seeking a one-year postgraduate program to better prepare for the college of their choice.

The Academy enrolls students from throughout the United States and from numerous countries beyond our nation’s borders. Over ninety-eight percent of our graduates are accepted into colleges and universities each year.

The Academic ProgramOur Upper School utilizes a One-Subject Plan of Study. The school year is divided into five terms, with approximately thirty-six days per term. One academic subject is taken by each student each term. One Carnegie unit of credit is earned for the successful completion of each academic subject. An array of electives is available, as well, with each offering academic credit. Our seventh graders follow a more traditional academic schedule involving core academic subjects and seminar classes to enhance their academic experience. Eighth graders transition from a more traditional program into the One-Subject plan in the spring of the year.

BGAV AffiliationIn 1913, the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) began supporting the Academy financially, recognizing the school’s unique Christian service and ministry to young people. Even with the diminishing financial support, the BGAV and Fork Union Military Academy have provided thousands of young men a sound education that is grounded in Christian values, that prepares them for higher education and for life, and that trains them for service and leadership in church and community.

Our Spiritual EmphasisDuring the school year, Fork Union cadets attend mandatory chapel services three times a week. In recent years, several cadets have gone through believer’s baptism during our chapel services after a public profession of faith before their peers. Academic classes each morning are started by teachers leading the cadets in a devotion and prayer. In addition, to earn a Fork Union diploma, cadets must take our Religion class, usually offered during the junior year. Opportunities to focus on the service aspect of Christian faith are afforded to cadets throughout the year by involvement in community service projects. Bible studies are offered on campus during the school year, and are attended by faculty, staff, and cadets.

The 2016-17 Academic SessionIn the fall of 2016, 382 young men from 28 states and 9 foreign nations arrived on our campus to begin the 118th academic session. Approximately 62% had been FUMA cadets the previous year, and 343 of them were boarding students. On the last Saturday this past May, after nine fleeting months of hard work by all, the FUMA Alumni Association welcomed 89 new members as the class of 2017 received their diplomas and Post-Graduate certificates of completion. Although these young men were awarded nearly $3.8 million in academic and athletic scholarships, of most importance to us is that none left our watch care without having


had the good news of Jesus Christ proclaimed to them, explained to them, and lived out before their eyes by our staff and faculty.

Concluding ThoughtsPrivate boarding schools throughout the United States are struggling, and in particular those like ours who truly challenge young men to become all they are capable of becoming. At Fork Union we believe some military schools have struggled not because they are military, but because they did not hold firm to their Christian legacy, their core values, or their founder’s vision. We speak often at Fork Union of our founder, Dr. Hatcher, a prominent Baptist preacher, and ask ‘What would Dr. Hatcher do?’

What makes Fork Union unique is that we are college-prep, Christian, and military, and we use the One Subject Plan. We have no debt, we accept no federal or state money, and we have success in abundance in our alumni. We believe other schools are going out of business because they lost their way. They stopped believing in themselves and their mission.

We want to reach more young men, not less. With an enrollment approaching 400, we are the largest boarding military high school in Virginia, and one of the largest in the country. We’ve intentionally been on the very edge of financial sustainability since our founding, because we believe that boys matter more than money. We educate, develop, and inspire young men. We build character. We teach leadership. Boys become men at Fork Union…we believe the world needs more bright, fit, and faithful young men…not fewer.

So, our Board of Trustees initiated a “Called to Lead” Campaign, where we plan to raise $200M dollars over the next five years for scholarship support and campus renovations. If anyone reading this has the means that would allow us to reach this goal, please let us know. The campaign is based on our belief that people will want to invest in the school that has stayed true to a set of core values that are clearly defined and values that guide our actions as an educational institution.

If you cannot help us financially, please pray that we will meet our campaign goal. Young men and this nation will surely benefit when we do.

In May 2017 Hargrave Military Academy completed its 108th year of service and commitment to developing young men in mind, body, character and spirit. Cadets from Virginia, 15 other states, and 5 countries were in attendance at the commencement proceedings May 20, 2017, and 37 young men received their diplomas. One-hundred percent of this class received at least one acceptance to a college or university.

Hargrave is proud that for the last 17 years 99.5% of its Cadets have been accepted into colleges and universities. These institutions notably include The United States Naval Academy, Norwich University, The Citadel, Virginia Tech, Liberty University, Regents University, and The United States Military Academy at West Point. Furthermore, the Class of 2017 earned $2.3 million in college scholarships and financial aid.

Hargrave fosters a Christian atmosphere within its academic, leadership, character development, and athletic programs. Not only are Cadets challenged academically and physically, they are challenged spiritually twice each week during mandatory Chapel services. Each Cadet is given the opportunity to participate in contemporary Christian worship through singing, playing an instrument, prayer, and listening to a practical message based on the authority of Scripture. All faculty and staff are welcome and encouraged to attend all Chapel services, as well as participate in these opportunities for spiritual growth. For many Cadets, our Chapel services are their first exposure to the basic tenets of the Christian faith. In addition, Hargrave has offered Cadets a weekly Bible Study.

Hargrave is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS). Hargrave Military Academy is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS).

Hargrave’s administration, faculty, and staff deeply appreciate the bond between Hargrave Military Academy and the Baptist General Association of Virginia. With the continued support of the Association, the 2017-2018 academic year will see Hargrave continue to provide the direction and spiritual support so critical in training young men to serve God, their communities, and our country with excellence and purpose.

The John Leland Center for Theological Studies is becoming one of the leading pan-Baptist seminaries in the nation. This evangelical school based in Arlington, VA, draws students from churches affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, National Baptist Convention, Progressive National Baptist Convention, and American Baptist Churches, U.S.A. Most of its students are members of the Baptist General Association of Virginia churches. Leland’s mission is to prepare students for transformational leadership in global ministry of Jesus Christ.

In 2011, Leland returned to its main campus to the totally renovated facilities of the Church at Clarendon, a Baptist congregation in Arlington. First Baptist of Newport News also hosts our Hampton Roads center and Bonsack Baptist Church hosts our Southwest center.

Leland prepares students for local church ministry by offering classes leading to a M.Div. It also offers the M.T.S. for those who wish to pursue academic careers and a degree program, the Masters in Christian Leadership (M.C.L.), that prepares ministers for local church ministry in staff positions such as Minister of Youth, Children, Worship, or Senior Adults or prepare a Christian to lead outside the local church, in the public square. Dr. Andrey Shirin is the Director of Transformational Leadership. Dr. John Lee is the Academic Dean. Danielle Bridgeforth, who holds a J.D. from Howard and an M.Div. from Virginia Union, is Director of Enrollment and Development. Vicki Bohannon is continuing to lead our recruitment in the Hampton Roads area and Dr. John Snow, Pastor of Zoar Baptist Church in Deltaville, is now Director of Masters work in the Hampton Roads area. Dr. Eric Spano, Pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Roanoke, leads Leland’s Masters and diploma classes in Southwest Virginia.

President Mark Olson resigned as of August 31, 2017, to accept a call from Haymarket Baptist Church to serve as Senior Pastor. J. Brent Walker, formerly Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee, is now serving as the Interim President of the John Leland Center.

Oak Hill Academy completed its 138th academic session on May 20 with 33 graduates receiving high school diplomas. It was a time of celebration for the students and their families, and signaled a time of anniversary for the historic Baptist Academy on “The Hill”—138 years of partnership with the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

Since its inception, Oak Hill Academy has existed as a Baptist mission-based school. We provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment to high school-aged girls and boys who need a change in their educational setting. The dedicated Christian faculty and staff view their tenure at Oak Hill as a time of ministry. Our goal is to help our students secure a solid future, with the Academy serving as the “Turning Point” in their lives.

In the fall of 2016, Oak Hill received 125 students from twenty-six U.S. States and from around the world. Over the course of the academic year our enrollment increased to 142. Our International Students hailed from the countries of Canada, China, France, Liberia, the United Kingdom, Australia, Senegal, Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, and Botswana.

On May 14th, a large congregation of family members, students, and faculty and staff welcomed to campus the Rev. Jeff Harris for the annual Baccalaureate address. The sermon to our graduates and student body was humorous and poignant.

Some six days later 33 graduates received their diplomas—with ninety-six percent accepted to colleges or universities. Among the schools and colleges where Oak Hill alumni are attending this fall are: University of North Carolina Wilmington, East Carolina University, High Point University, Radford University, University of Texas, Louisiana State University, University of Kansas, Xavier University, Virginia Commonwealth University, George Mason University, Western Carolina University, University of Mary Washington, Christopher Newport University, Houston Baptist University, Liberty University, and Roanoke College.


In the athletic arena Oak Hill continues to receive national recognition, particularly on the basketball court. In April our team participated in the Dick’s National High School Basketball Championship, appearing live to a nationwide television audience (ESPN). Our students participate on three boys basketball teams, co-ed soccer, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls track, baseball, and girls volleyball. In the classroom, Oak Hill Academy’s curriculum is designed to challenge the brightest students with honors courses and dual college credit courses, while also being able to provide structure for an underachiever (with a student to faculty ratio of 10:1). Mandatory study halls, weekend socials, club activities, leadership programs, and special events keep our student’s lives well balanced and event-filled.

Led by the campus minister, the spiritual development of our students is initiated with prayer and daily devotional time in morning assembly. Students are encouraged to participate by leading this time of reflection and inspiration, with each Friday’s gathering highlighted by a “Senior Devotion.” Oak Hill also partners with Young’s Chapel Baptist Church by providing a unique opportunity for our students to worship together each Sunday morning. It is quite the rewarding experience to witness our very diverse (and predominately urban) student body interact with the good people from rural Grayson County. Unquestionably, the seeds that are planted here by a local Virginia Baptist Church will grow to a healthy and lasting fruition for generations.

We teach our students every day that the Oak Hill Academy mission embraces the needs of the larger world. Thus in September 2007 our Academy welcomed the first-ever exchange student from Ricks Institute in Liberia. Our joy in receiving and hosting a new student for the entire academic year is tempered only by our sadness in seeing her depart her new home and friends here on “the hill.” After postponing the enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year because of the Ebola virus concerns, Oak Hill was happy to receive a student from Liberia again the fall of 2016.

Room, board, tuition and fees for the June 16 – May 17 academic year were $34,892. With a budget of $5,279,250 Virginia Baptists contributed $30,046.78, which represents 0.56% of our operating budget. Oak Hill also awarded scholarships or tuition reduction for students in need of financial assistance, totaling $688,420.

As a boarding school, the community life of the Academy represents perhaps the central facet of being a student at Oak Hill. Our goal is for our students to observe, live, and participate in a community of learning where healthy adult and familial relationships are exhibited daily by our faculty and staff. Over seventy adults and children now reside in housing on our 240-acre campus during the academic session. OHA also represents the largest single employer in the western section of Grayson County.

One hundred and thirty-eight years ago a group of Virginia Baptists envisioned a place of learning and living for the children of this beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain region. And while the constituents of the Academy may now arrive to our campus from afar, the mission of the school continues unabated. We are proud of our Baptist heritage, we accept the challenge of our mission, and look forward to a healthy and productive covenant relationship of ministry with the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

Screenings of our latest documentary – “The Disturbances,” released in September 2016 – have continued to be a focal point of BCE’s / EthicsDaily.com’s work in 2017.

Screenings have taken place in churches of various denominations as well as at larger conferences from North Carolina to Chicago. Details on the film (and the process for hosting a screening event) are available at TheDisturbances.com.

Article series tied to annual observances and trends/issues/topics relevant to local churches have been a focal point on EthicsDaily.com this year.

To date, we’ve posted 19 such series. These have focused on issues (including human trafficking and predatory lending), on local church work (including mosquito net distribution and other mission endeavors) and on annual observances (including Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day).

A number of contributors to these series have been ministers from Virginia. Dean Miller contributed two articles – one on BGAV’s short-term missions and another on the More Than Nets initiative. Other Virginia contributors include: Charles Cheek (Peninsula Baptist Association), Craig Sherouse (Second Baptist Richmond), and Reggie Warren (Union Hill Baptist Church).

Other series for later in 2017 include: mental health, human rights, criminal justice, women in ministry and rural / smaller church ministry.

Robert Parham, founder and executive director of Baptist Center for Ethics, better known as EthicsDaily.com, passed away in early March following a prolonged illness.

Baptist World Alliance Mission: Networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ

Our Vision: The Baptist World Alliance is a global movement of Baptists sharing a common confession of faith in Jesus Christ bonded together by God’s love to support, encourage and strengthen one another while proclaiming and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit before a lost and hurting world.

Our Beginnings: Established in 1905, in London, England, our main focus in ministry continues to be promoting worship, fellowship and unity; nurturing the passion for mission and evangelism, responding to human need through relief and sustainable community development; defending human rights and justice; and promoting relevant theological reflection.

As of this publishing date, the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) is a fellowship of 238 Baptist church organizations in 124 countries and territories around the world. In the last nine years, 24 new Baptist groups


have joined the BWA. These member organizations are asked to report annually on their membership. Statistics for 2015 show 169,052 churches and 45,479,082 baptized believers.

Much of the work of the BWA is promoting, building, and nurturing fellowship among Baptists. Beyond the focus on relationships within and among member bodies, BWA seeks to strengthen its relationship with institutions that associate with the organization, such as Baptist seminaries.

In addition, BWA represents Baptists in the larger Christian world through the Christians World Communions, and so we work to maintain a constructive relationship with other Christians. This approach is influenced by Jesus’ prayer for the unity of the church in John 17. The fourth annual meeting of the five-year dialogue with the World Methodist Council took place in February of this year. BWA continues to foster harmonious relationships and bilateral dialogues are one of the major tools. Over the years, Baptists and Catholics have engages in significant bilateral dialogues and the new round begins in December of this year.

In 2016, the Baptist family gathered in Vancouver, Canada, where more than 300 participants from 41 countries attended our Annual Gathering. In July 2017, our meeting was held in Bangkok, Thailand, (where 289 participants gathered from 50 countries) and preparations are well underway for the 2018 Annual Gathering in Zurich Switzerland.

BWA participated in the Latino American Baptist Youth Conference in Cancun, Mexico in July 2016, and convened a dialogue with national youth leaders from 11 countries. Webinar training sessions continued for leaders serving youth around the world.

The newly restructure division on Mission, Evangelism and Justice explored training opportunities regarding evangelism as well as justice and freedom and initiated communication with commission chairs to assist them in the work of the commission that will be used to empower the churches in their mission.

Women, Men and Youth auxiliaries prepared and made available materials for days of prayer and remembrance, in addition to Baptist World Alliance Day in February 2017.

BWAid continued to present the face of Christ to communities suffering from consequences of natural and human-caused disasters. We provided humanitarian assistance for people facing drought in Ethiopia and displacement caused by conflict in Iraq and Syria. We also sent relief assistance to DR Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Haiti, Hungary, Iraq, Malawi, Myanmar, Nepal, Serbia, Turkey, and Uganda in the past year. Development aid went to Bangladesh, Columbia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Nepal, Rwanda Sierra Leone, Zambia and Zimbabwe. In particular, one effort found the Youth department supporting a post-Ebola recovery project that provided shoes to 5,000 orphan children and youth in Sierra Leone, a project undertaking in partnership with Samaritan’s Feet.

We continue to improve our communications methods and have recently undergone a complete redesign of our magazine, Baptist World. Our social media and BWA apps are getting wide use among constituents.

In the coming months, the BWA will complete a transition to new leadership, as General Secretary Neville G. Callam retires and Elijah Brown takes his place. Callam has served faithfully and effectively for more than a decade, and we are very grateful for his leadership and vision during a time which called for difficult decisions. We ask your prayers for the incoming General Secretary who will take office January 1, 2018, and for Rev. Callam and his wife, Dulcie, in the next phase of their life and service to our Lord.


Campbell University Divinity SchoolAnnual Report

Campbell University Divinity School was founded in 1996 with a unique mission statement: our mission is to provide Christ-centered, Bible-based, and Ministry-focused graduate theological education. This mission statement expresses our commitment to educate Christian ministers not just through intellectual inquiry, but also through spiritual formation and vocational preparation. We are a diverse, inclusive group of Christians from many different ethnic, racial, and gender backgrounds that have one goal in common – to love God, love others, and do God’s work. Faculty, staff, and students bond together as a spiritual family to form this unique community of scholarship, fellowship, and service.

Now beginning its twenty-second year of service, the Divinity School offers the Master of Divinity, the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry, and the Doctor of Ministry degrees. The school’s model of a vocational and spiritual formation curriculum in a university environment meets the challenging needs of ministerial leadership for the twenty-first century. In August, the Divinity School welcomed 24 new master-level and 6 doctoral students.

Along with the three graduate degrees that are offered, each program offers concentrations in specialized areas of study. The opportunity to take classes in other schools of the University not only offers Divinity School students a wide range of elective courses, but also the opportunity to pursue dual degrees in counseling, business, and law.

The Divinity School is eager to serve both students and churches not just through its degree offerings, but also through a variety of resources, programs, and opportunities. Notable examples include the Bible Lands Study Tours, an outstanding annual program featuring three lecture series, certification programs in Hispanic Church Leadership, Preschool and Children’s Ministry, Women in Christian Leadership, Biblical Studies, Church Music and Worship, and Youth Ministry, and the Braswell World Religions and Global Cultures Center. Faculty and staff regularly serve churches and ministries through pulpit supply, retreat leadership, Bible studies, consultation, special topics studies, and interim pastorates.

Some of our upcoming events include the following:

Turner, Jr. (Preaching)• Norman Wirzba (Theology, Ecology, and Agrarian Studies)

There are currently 79 Baptist students across the denominational spectrum among the 637 students enrolled in seven degree programs. Baptists make up the second largest denominational group among students in the Divinity School behind Methodists. Baptists comprised 14% of the fall 2017 entering class of MDiv students. There are currently 7 students from Virginia enrolled in degree programs.

Dr. Curtis W. Freeman has served as Research Professor and the Director of the Baptist House since 2001. His new book Undomesticated Dissent: Democracy and the Public Virtue of Religious Nonconformity was published by Baylor University Press in August 2017.

The Baptist House continues to collaborate with the BGAV Preaching Camp and the Spence Leadership Network for ministry placement and ongoing formation of Duke students and alumni, as well as cooperating with the BGAV regional field strategists for the placement of graduates in congregations and other ministry settings. Several BGAV congregations supervised a Duke student for field education this past year. Baptist graduates of Duke Divinity School continue to serve in BGAV connected congregations.


In support of Baptist students, Duke Divinity School received a number of significant grants in fiscal 2017. The John and Eula Mae Baugh Foundation gave its first ever grant to Duke Divinity, providing $100,000 to launch the Baugh Scholars program, designed to recruit and support exceptional Baptist seminarians. Richmond’s First Baptist Church Endowment Fund also supported Duke Divinity for the first time with a $5,000 gift for the benefit of a Virginia Baptist student. Finally, headed into 2018, when Baptist House at Duke Divinity will celebrate its 30th Anniversary, an anonymous donor has provided a $30,000 dollar for dollar challenge to inspire Baptist House donors who have not given in recent years. For details, contact Betsy Poole, Duke Divinity Development (919-660-3402).

Ministering to Ministers Foundation, Inc.

Annual Report

The MTM Foundation seeks to be advocates for clergy and their families in all faith groups and offers guidance to the churches they serve,

that they might enjoy healthy relationships and years of productive service. (Mission Statement)

MTM offers spiritual, emotional, physical, social and legal guidance to clergy and their families. Its primary focus is clergy who have experienced forced termination or substantial conflict with their churches so as to make continuing ministry together untenable. However, MTM has dedicated itself to a much larger investment in health promotion and conflict prevention in the relationship between clergy and their churches before they endure such debilitating and destructive experiences.

The ministries of MTM:

• Help equip ministers to assess their relationship with their church and establish optimal terms for employment, including meaningful dialogue and evaluation.


• Attempt to raise the emotional maturity and conflict transformation skills of all parties in church – minister relations.

• Provide immediate response for clergy and their families who are experiencing personal or professional crisis due to deteriorating congregation – clergy relationships.

• Come alongside ministers to affirm the worth of the individual and the authenticity of their call in spite of the ups and downs in ministry.

• Temper feelings of victimization in ministers by helping them 1) learn to make informed, intentional faith-filled choices; 2) affirm that God is at work in and through difficult times; and, 3) acknowledge personal responsibility for their own choices and actions.

• Reclaim ministers wounded in toxic situations and forced terminations through wellness retreats, personal counseling, and educational materials.

As a result of interventions and support, clergy may continue to respond to God’s call into service. Many of these ministers are enabled to resolve situations and stay in their ministry position, some rise to serve new churches, and others move forward to serve the living God in new work or positions.

MTM helps churches, associations and the BGAV through:

• Health promotion and conflict prevention in the relationship between clergy and their churches before difficult experiences by establishing strong initial foundations, healthy dispute resolution, mediation, and informational resources (e.g. workshops, the website and newsletters).

• Model church-minister covenants that outline expectations and open communication in the event of conflict and/or separation. Resources for conflict transformation or negotiation in the form of professional guidance or the presence of legal assistance are available when work continuation is not possible.

• A vast library of resources created or captured over twenty-three years available through MTM.• Staff and a remarkably well-prepared volunteer base, including counselors and psychologists, pastors

serving as “Friends for the Journey,” attorneys, experts in church and personal finance, personnel, and vocational development, to name a few, are resources to the churches and denominations, as well as to ministers.

• MTM alumni demonstrate a higher than average return to ministry. Significant losses to the BGAV in terms of ministerial education, training, and years of vocational experience may be avoided through redeemed careers. These have value for clergy, friends, family, churches, denominations and the larger church.

In summary, MTM support offers the possibility of healthy clergy-church relationships, relationship renewal, leave-taking without conflagration, and, importantly, retention of terminated pastors for church service.


Northern SeminaryAnnual Report

Thank you for the opportunity to partner with the BGAV.

Northern Seminary was founded in 1913 by Second Baptist Church of Chicago. More than a century later, we are leading the church and engaging the world by training successful students and strengthening congregations.

This past year, we increased enrollment by 11 percent and added two exciting live-streaming degree programs. Students from Virginia and several other states now join us for our classes. Building on this success, we announced in April the expansion of our mission to better prepare our students to lead the church and engage the world for decades to come.

Our decision to expand was the result of a thoughtful and thorough assessment by Northern’s leaders to determine the best course for our future. Our goal was bold and ambitious – and we emerged with a strategic plan that focuses our resources to meet the complex needs of today’s students and congregations while forging a sustainable long-term path. Our time is now.

After more than 50 years at our campus in Lombard, Illinois (in Chicago’s western suburbs), we relocated in September to a state-of-the-art center in Lisle, Illinois, less than seven miles away. The Lisle Center will make Northern more accessible, affordable, and contextual for a changing world.

Also as part of our expansion, we opened our new Center for Urban Leadership on Chicago’s South Side in September, and we enhanced the programming offered at our Lawndale Center on Chicago’s West Side through a partnership with the Christian Community Development Association. This fall, we will launch a new church planting program designed to help new and existing churches reach people with the gospel. Our new approach will better connect students with our world-renowned faculty and with the communities they will ultimately serve.

As Revelation 3:8 states: “Behold, I have set before you an open door.” We’re confident that the open door we have walked through this year will lead to another century of growth and ministry for Northern Seminary, and will enable the Northern community to become even stronger and more vibrant.

I am grateful for the partnership and prayers of everyone in the Northern community, including our students, alumni, trustees, faculty, staff, and the BGAV. Our accomplishments this year simply would not have been possible without your support.

I invite you to learn more about our expansion by visiting www.seminary.edu. I also invite you to join us as we begin this new journey at Northern Seminary – one that affirms our values, strives toward theological excellence, and focuses on faithfully serving God’s Kingdom and His Church. Together, our potential is boundless.

and Brian Williams, BGAV field strategist for the Tidewater Region and pastor of the host church, extended a welcome and quoted from the Psalms to “sing joyfully to the Lord.” Williams offered a prayer.

2. A video clip was shown on Virginia Baptists carrying out Kingdom work.3. John V. Upton, executive director, presented the theme interpretation, “Answering God’s Call: Now

What” based upon Isaiah 6:8. He commented upon the people of God in the midst of storms such as natural disasters, racial unrest and other experiences. He reflected that the theme captures the Gospel plot. He began with the story of Jesus calling fishermen to follow him and stressed that “they responded.” He felt that “it had to be that they saw in this one the possibility of a new world and that is why you follow.” He observed that “it is your story and it is mine because Jesus is standing on the shore and looking into your eyes, your church, and on the shore of the BGAV and saying, ‘Follow me.’” He added: “We have to decide – are we in or are we out. Will we take the risk or just stay where we are. We have to decide. The fishermen follow and there are more and they ‘immediately’ got out of the boat. We are in a moment of time for our churches, ourselves and the BGAV and we are in or we are out. Following does require a ‘Yes.’ Not following requires nothing. You can delay a decision but following does require a ‘Yes.’ There was another boat that day but Jesus came up to those people and said ‘Follow me’ and those people had their excuses not to follow. It is easy to miss the chances and that is the scariest thing I know. If you don’t act on the stirring, the stirring ceases. Why this theme at the BGAV meeting? Because there were two brothers who instantly knew that they had made the choice to go and they saw freedom and the thrill of adventure; they saw hope. When anyone of us makes the decision to go it kindles the faith of others and so it goes and goes and the Kingdom is advanced. Ready to answer God’s call? It is our decision.”

4. Aaron Lee, disaster response coordinator, amplified a video on Virginia Baptist Disaster Response to such natural disasters as the expansive forest fires around Gatlinburg, a tornado in Powhatan and the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. It was noted that 309 Virginia Baptist volunteers responded and gave 17,419 hours of service. Further, it was noted that 44,758 meals were served and 191 homes were repaired. There were 405 contacts recorded by our chaplains. It was emphasized that Disaster Response was “about people joining together with the work God is already doing to partner with individual churches around the world.” Aaron Lee shared about the feeding team which was dispatched to Florida, observing that “our team did not arrive with all the answers and know-how but they arrived to serve with the people of the local Baptist church.” He reported that in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, two days afterwards the BGAV received a request from Liberty, Texas. (A video clip was shown of the pastor in Texas with whom the disaster team worked and who observed that within three weeks the team had served 50,000 meals. It was observed that the experience was “a life changer, a church changer and a community changer.” Virginia Baptists from Southwest Virginia shared on the video about their disaster response experiences. On the video, Jeff Kinder of Rosedale Church (New Lebanon) observed that disaster relief response involves everybody in the church and impacts the entire community. Aaron Lee shared that chaplaincy training had been revived and that within three weeks the new group of chaplains had an opportunity to go to Texas. Kristen Curtis, a disaster relief coordinator, shared stories from disaster relief experiences in Texas. Aaron Lee concluded the presentation by observing that “sometimes the most important thing we can do is to


listen to those who have experienced the trauma of disaster. We are engaged in bringing light right after darkness.”

5. A musical group from Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Temple led the congregation in singing praise music.6. A video clip was shown in which Chuck Harrison of the Peninsula Association shared about “where

is the church in the midst of racial storms.” He shared that within his association and area there were dialogues among pastors with emphasis upon such topics as poverty, crime and racism. He shared that the dialogues had grown into a group of more than fifty persons including pastors, police, and government officials who care about the community. He expressed his belief that “God has placed us here to help advance the Redeemer’s Kingdom” and noted that “partnerships have come out of this effort including with the local police.” He cited several outcomes of the open dialogue and partnerships, including “churches helping people to enter the job force; youth violence prevention; summer programs for children and churches across Hampton; and the transforming of an old skating rink into a church.” Jerome Barber and Russell Beck, the pastors of Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Temple and Park View churches, respectively, shared about their joint “Hallelujah Celebration” which was an alternative to Halloween. They observed that some 400 children and youth participated in the event which they said was “based upon love for one another as taught by Jesus.” They both considered it to be “the first step of doing things together.” Jerome Barber led the congregation in prayer. Barber and the Sixth Mount Zion group presented a worship through praise music.

7. Freddy Villarreal, pastor of Freedom Life Church in Hampton, presented a message. He based his message upon chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the Gospel of Mark and emphasized Jesus’ Presence, Promise and Power. He closed with prayer.

8. At 8:30 p.m., John V. Upton pronounced the benediction.

Tuesday Morning, November 149. At 8:30 a.m., the messengers and visitors began to enter the meeting hall at the Hampton Roads

Convention Center in Hampton for the Annual Meeting. At 8:50 a.m., Stuart Crow, president, called the meeting to order.

10. The Hon. Donnie Tuck, mayor of Hampton, expressed appreciation for the BGAV selecting Hampton as their meeting site. He expressed his admiration for the BGAV’s wide mission activities and welcomed the messengers and visitors to the host city.

11. Nancy Stanton McDaniel, the immediate past president, offered the invocation. She expressed appreciation for the prayers offered last year for her and her mother during the time of the last annual meeting which she missed due to her mother’s hospitalization. Her mother was present and was recognized by the body.

12. President Stuart Crow introduced the parliamentarians, Beth Cumbie Fogg and Raymond Duke.13. The president encouraged the messengers to participate, to ask questions and to be involved in the

business sessions.14. Rupert Rose reported for the Program Committee. He referred to the committee’s report (p. 22). He

offered the following recommendation: 1) That the program, as printed, be adopted as the agenda of the 2017 meeting of the BGAV; 2) That times on the program are indicated merely as guidance; 3) That in order to expedite discussion, debate on all matters will be limited to three minutes per speaker, and that speakers, pro and con, be alternated; 4) That future sites for the Annual Meeting, be affirmed as: 2018, November 12-14, 2018, in the Richmond area and 2019, November 11-13, 2019, in the Northern Virginia area. Rose moved adoption of the recommendation. Hearing no questions, the motion passed.

15. The Coastal Community Church praise band provided music.

133PROCEEDINGS

16. Fred Anderson, clerk, presented a report. He recognized his assistant clerk, Wayne D. Hannah. He noted that early registration figures showed 347 messengers. (The numbers increased across the two days of meetings and the final report was 587 messengers and, with visitors included, the attendance was 792.) He offered an historical reference to the BGAV meeting of 1850 which was held at the Hampton Baptist Church with 138 messengers and noted that the host church would have been responsible for housing the messengers in private homes. Echoing the 2017 theme, he cited the report of the 1850 Committee on New Fields which called for state missionaries to be placed in “that rich and neglected portions of the Valley of Virginia including Augusta, Rockbridge and Rockingham counties” as well as Russell County, Pittsylvania, Henry, and Dinwiddie counties among other places. He observed how Virginia Baptists, then and now, have responded to the call for service.

17. Ben Thomas reported on behalf of the Committee on Boards and Committees. He presented the Committee’s report (see pp. 48-54) with the following additions: Beth Fogg (L), Richmond’s First Church, to serve on the Program Committee; Gary Gilliam (L), Grace Hills Baptist Church, to serve on the Religious Liberty Committee; Harold Massie (L), Madison Heights Baptist Church, to serve on the Scholarships & ministerial Education Funds Committee, and Megan Thomas-Clapp (M), McLean Baptist Church to serve as a BGAV representative on the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty. He requested that the messengers consider persons to nominate for positions in the future. The president called for further nominations from the floor; and hearing none, without objection, the nominations closed and the report was duly adopted.

18. The president referred the messengers to page 55 of the Book of Reports regarding nominations to the Committee on Boards and Committees made by the BGAV president and the two vice-presidents. These were as follows: Barbara Bareford (L), Saluda Church; William Downer (L), Broadus Memorial Church, Charlottesville; and Melissa Holt (M), Mt. Pleasant Church, Herndon. In voting, they were duly elected.

19. Ellis West presented the report from the Religious Liberty Committee and shared that the Committee had met with Amanda Tyler, the new executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which led to the Committee’s resolution (see pp. 58-60). He noted that the resolution asks that all of our churches put more emphasis upon teaching and understanding religious liberty within our churches especially for our young people and young adults. He maintained that we cannot take religious liberty in this country for granted and even Baptists cannot take it for granted. He stressed that it must be cultivated and nourished especially among our young people. He stated that “the number one challenge to religious liberty in this country is widespread misunderstanding of and confusion over the meaning of religious liberty.” He felt that for Baptists the way to solve the problem was to spend more time on how our Baptist forefathers understood religious liberty. He noted that the First Amendment was a reflection of their understanding of religious liberty.

20. David Washburn presented the Treasurer’s Report. He expressed appreciation for the generosity and trust of Virginia Baptists. 1) He presented the report of the Baptist Extension Board, as follows: as of October 31, 2017, there are 69 outstanding loans in the amount of $15,204,585; three new loans were approved for a total of $1,030,000; and available funds to lend totaled $11,035,648. 2) The treasurer reported on the Special Offerings as follows: as of October 31, 2017, the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions totaled $466,493; the Lottie Moon Offering, $1,347,057; the Annie Armstrong Offering, $1,105,096; CBF Global Missions Offering, $182,317; World Hunger Offering, $108,407; and other designations received $2,066,339 including $646,633 designated for hurricane relief. The total of Special Offerings was $5,275,708. 3) Washburn expressed appreciation for the generosity which enables the BGAV to bring relief to areas of great distress. 4) As for the total to date of Cooperative Missions Contributions and Designated Offerings, the treasurer noted that it was almost $13 million, as follows: $7,615,445 for CM Contributions and $5,275,708 for Designated Offerings for an actual total of $12,891,152 as of October 31. He further offered a breakdown of the CM Contributions,


as follows: Virginia Missions and Ministries - $4,589,147 (61% of the CM Contributions total); Partnership Missions - $188,961 (2%); BGAV Partners in Virginia - $454,609 (6%); and World Missions Causes - $2,382,728 (31%). He also reported that 1,005 of the 1,382 BGAV member churches had contributed as of October 31. 5) The treasurer reported that year-to-date CM receipts of $7,615,445 represented 96.7% of YTD requirements. He offered a breakdown, as follows: Virginia Missions and Ministries had an annual budget amount of $6,351,174 with a YTD budget figure of $5,001,550 and a YTD actual receipts of $4,589,147 or 91.8% of budget; Partnership Missions was in the budget for $234,826, had a YTD budget of $184,925 and a YTD actual receipts of $188,961 or 102.2% of budget; BGAV Partners in Virginia were in the budget for $614,000 and the YTD budget was $483,525 and actual receipts at $454,609 or 94%; and World Mission Causes had $2,800,000 in the budget with a YTD budget figure of $2,205,000 and actual YTD receipts of $2,382,728 or 108.1%. The total budget was $10 million with a YTD budget figure at $7,875,000 and a YTD actual receipts of $7,615,445 or 96.7%. 6) The treasurer shared the 2017 YTD CM receipts by the various giving plans, as follows: The WM1 Plan totaled $1,775,590 or 23% of the total giving; WM2, $2,176,499 or 29%; WM3, $825,871 or 11%, and the Custom Plan designed by the individual giving churches, $2,837,484 or 37%. 7) The treasurer noted that the BGAV was within 4% of the overall budget which placed the BGAV in an overall favorable position yet he stressed that the Virginia Missions and Ministries portion was at 91.8% which was not a favorable position especially so close to the end of the fiscal year. He emphasized that negatively designating gifts seriously impacts the ministries offered by the BGAV. He reminded the messengers that the BGAV is engaged in a shared ministry with a diverse group of churches and he encouraged the churches to prayerfully consider their giving for next year.

21. The Coastal Community Church’s praise band offered further praise music.22. Carl W. Johnson, chair, Virginia Baptist Executive Board, presented the report of the Executive Board

(see pp. 26-27). He presented Recommendation I and II, 2019 Special Observances and Emphases and Special Offerings, respectively, and moved that they be approved as presented; and, in voting, they were duly approved.

23. On behalf of the Executive Board, John V. Upton presented a Recommendation III: Resolution of Appreciation for Frederick J. Anderson.

25. On behalf of the Executive Board, John V. Upton presented Recommendation V: A Covenant of Shared Values, Mission and Vision Agreement Between BGAV and McAfee School of Theology of Mercer University. (See p. 31-36) Upton welcomed Jeffrey Willetts, Dean of the School of Theology (and former Dean of the John Leland Seminary in Virginia) and also welcomed the McAfee staff and faculty, noting that many of the BGAV churches now have McAfee graduates serving in the churches. Upton presented the recommendation; and, in voting, the motion carried without opposition. The Dean shared that he felt at home in Virginia and that as a child he had been nurtured in a BGAV church. He expressed appreciation for all the support of all the institutions within the General Association. He signed the agreement.

26. On behalf of the Executive Board, John V. Upton presented Recommendation VI: A Partnership Agreement Between BGAV and Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia. (See pp. 37-38) He recognized Lynn Stockman and Valerie Carter, president and executive director of WMUV, respectively. He stated that the ministry of the WMU has been a prophetic voice that spoke truth

135PROCEEDINGS

to us and that we do missions offerings together and impact persons who otherwise would not be served. He brought the renewal of a partnership agreement from the Executive Board; and in voting, it carried without opposition. Valerie Carter shared the excitement of WMUV in proclaiming the cause of Christ. Lynn Stockman and Valerie Carter signed the agreement.

27. David Washburn, treasurer, presented the proposed BGAV budget for 2018 which had been approved by the Executive Board. (See pp. 40-45) He noted that the proposed overall budget of $10 million is the same amount as the current year’s budget with no changes to the BGAV Partners in the Virginia section of the budget. He explained that there were a few minor changes within the Virginia Missions and Ministries portion yet the overall budget amount remains the same. He cautioned that the BGAV staff tries to manage within the CM amount which is given by the churches and he shared that there are some other resources (see top of pp. 42-43) which provide a total of $6,162,743 which combines with the CM amount of $6,586,000. He noted (see bottom of p. 43) the total anticipated giving of $21,288,076 which included CM budget allocation of $10,000,000, BGAV ministry resources of $6,162,743, and Special Offerings of an estimated $5,125,333. Washburn shared the observations of the late Lyle Schaller, the preeminent church consultant, that in his considered opinion the BGAV was the one group that was positioned to rise above the post-modern, post-Christian era and lead in the future, cautioning that “we may not act our size.” The treasurer emphasized that each of the churches are important in participating in the shared mission of the BGAV. He called attention to the motions printed on p. 41, as follows: “1) That the 2018 Virginia Baptist Cooperative Missions Budget allocation totaling $10,000,000 be adopted and 2) That the treasurer be authorized to distribute all funds received after January 10, 2018, in accordance with the 2018 budget.” President Crow noted that the BGAV budget recommendations would be voted upon in Wednesday’s business session.

28. In a time scheduled for miscellaneous business, a representative of LifeWay Christian Resources made a presentation to President Crow of two new publications from LifeWay, a Bible and a collection of the sermons of Charles H. Spurgeon. In a time for further new business and hearing none, the president declared that the session would go into an intermission.

29. The praise band offered another selection.30. During the time for worship, the president offered a prayer.31. John V. Upton, Jr., executive director, presented a report on the ministries of Virginia Baptists. He

reflected that 2017 had been a year of incredible stories within the BGAV. He noted that our areas of emphasis are planning, sending and developing and in regard to all three, he declared that this had been his favorite year. He shared that he is watching a family growing into itself anew, a body of Christ called Virginia Baptists. He observed that many others want to be a part of the family and that it does not matter where we are located geographically. He felt that this interest on the part of others was very affirming. He noted that the number of churches that want to join the BGAV presents an influx of new folks. He referred to the new partnership with McAfee as well as the reaffirming of the old partnership with WMUV. He noted that over a thousand young leaders gathered this year and he proclaimed that the church is just fine. He noted that the BGAV has risen above crises across its history. He shared that 200 new church planters came to a meeting, yet we could offer only 60 new church starts. He commented that when we talk about church planting, the BGAV “is doing it as well as anyone in North America.” He also noted that the new churches are participating in BGAV life. He referred to the success in the year in sending, such as: Puerto Rico where 46,000 persons were served at a point of crisis in their lives (referring to the aftermath of the devastating hurricane) and Ghana which experienced the continued impact of the “More Than Nets” project with 81,400 mosquito nets distributed within 345 villages, 448 new congregations started, and some 10,000 baptisms. (He referred the messengers to his full printed report on pp. 64-74.) He turned attention to the area of developing which has been expanding, noting that the only item increased in the budget this year was with field strategists. He highlighted various areas with developing, including missions,


Sunday school workshops, Southwest Virginia conference, Kairos, Spence Network, coaching, youth events, etc. He reported that from 1,500 to 2,000 Virginia Baptists were involved in these various ministries and emphases each month. He offered credit for the expansion to the field strategists and the Virginia Baptist Mission Council which have helped to focus and customize for each region. He expressed a concern that it requires “a lot of people to make this family function” and he recognized the chairs of standing committees and all those who serve on the various boards and committees. (Everyone currently serving in some capacity stood and the body responded with applause.) The chairs of the standing committees were recognized and presented plaques of appreciation as well as a round of applause. Upton presented a new partnership of the BGAV. He shared that concern had been expressed of how to better serve the chaplains in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He further shared about a partnership with Texas Baptists on chaplaincy. He explained that the emphasis would be upon endorsement and support. He introduced Todd Combee, a Virginia Baptist minister who would become the BGAV endorser for chaplains. Combee shared that the BGAV will offer chaplaincy training to all of our pastors and referred to a conference to be held in April 2018 in Williamsburg. Jay Johns, a U.S. Army chaplain serving at the Pentagon and endorsed by Texas Baptists, encouraged the messengers to support the chaplaincy program. Eric Whitmore expressed on behalf of the Baptist General Convention of Texas the appreciation for the aid sent by the BGAV for disaster relief in the wake of the hurricane and also expressed appreciation for the partnership in chaplaincy. He presented an honorary endorsement to John V. Upton, Jr. as a chaplain emeritus for Texas Baptists. John Upton expressed appreciation to Todd Combee for serving as the BGAV endorser. A video clip was shown on a church planter, Noah Stepro, Kairos Community Church in California. Tony Brooks, a field strategist for Southside Virginia, shared about the ministry of North Fork Baptist Church in Virgilina, which engages in a theme called “Changing a Home” through which the children of the church took up an offering to help a resident of a mobile home which needed repairs. The church decided to purchase a new home for the man and his grandchildren and Brooks noted that the home was provided through the gifts of many caring individuals. John V. Upton concluded with the statement that “God is indeed doing mighty work among us.”

32. The praise band offered further selections.33. In a time for introducing the thematic speaker, John Upton observed that Leith Anderson “has

been there at just the right moment when something new was being birthed.” Jim Baucom, pastor of Columbia Baptist Church (NorthStar) introduced the speaker. He noted that Anderson is the pastor emeritus of Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, which Baucom described as “one of America’s most influential churches.” He shared that the speaker also is president of the National Association of Evangelicals which is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and which includes 40 denominations.

34. Leith Anderson began by observing that the BGAV “always was doing the ‘Now What,’” a reference to the annual meeting theme. In his opening message, Anderson noted that Jesus never traveled very far between Bethlehem and Nazareth, a distance of about 68 miles and spent most of his 33 years within a fifty-mile radius. He reminded the congregation that Jesus repeatedly talked about his compassion for the nations or people groups, yet he had direct contact with only a very limited number. He observed that today there are about 7,000 language groups and around 20,000 people groups which indicates the great diversity in our time. He explained how different Jesus was from others in that he had conversations and contacts with those whom others would not have had engagements and in that he commissioned his followers to care about people everywhere. Anderson referred back to the Old Testament and the statement from Micah to do justice and love mercy which he translated as kindness and forgiveness. The speaker also recalled Leviticus 19 and the concern over allowing those in need to have pick of the gleanings from fields and vineyards as well as the injunction not to mistreat aliens. He referenced Napoleon Bonaparte who left behind the Napoleonic Code which

137PROCEEDINGS

called for justice and religious freedom that would bring a Pan-European justice. He explained that the emperor could offer mercy which in a sense was like God’s mercy and compassion. He harkened again to the theme of “Now What,” maintaining that it was about helping the poor and making disciples. He observed that Jesus started out with those on the margins of society. He commented upon the needs in the world, noting that 1 ½% of the Federal budget goes to the poor of the world and actually contended that it was more in the range of .6 of 1% but even such a small amount can be beneficial in helping the poor. He stated that three billion people around the world are living on $2 a day or less and that one million children are sold each year as child soldiers or into the sex traffic. He contrasted such a world-wide situation with the nature of Jesus who “loved the unlovable, embraced the children so that as Christians, followers of Jesus, you want to be just like Him.”

Anderson emphasized The Great Commission which was, in effect, to evangelize. He observed that there were two time periods which were the most significant in terms of evangelism: the first century and the present. He noted that in 1910 about 9% of the population of Africa or 12 million people were Christians and in 2010, some 48% of Africa were Christians or 500 million people; further, he noted that it was predicted that in a generation the number of Christians in Africa would exceed a billion. He turned to China, noting that under Chairman Mao the number of churches were less than 1 million while today China is considered the fifth-largest Christian country and on track to become the largest Christian nation in the world. He shared that there are 15,000 missionaries to the UK and most were from Africa and Asia. He stated: “God is doing an amazing thing from everywhere to everywhere.”

He further cited the 3,000 converts mentioned in the Book of Acts and contrasted that number with the 20,000 new Christians every day in the southern part of Africa plus 10,000 in South America plus those large numbers in China. He called the information indicative of a time of Pentecost right now. Yet he also noted that there are still 5 billion people who are not disciples of Jesus Christ and 2 billion who have never been invited to know Jesus Christ. He shared that 86% of Buddhists and Muslims do not know a Christian personally.

He closed with the illustration of the trapped miners in Chile in 2010 who for 69 days were trapped and people were praying, hoping and drilling for their release. He told of the man who went down in the capsule to help them and then compared this rescuer with the situation when sin caved in our world and the Son of God came at enormous risk to rescue us and now Jesus calls upon us to share His compassion. He closed with prayer.

35. At 11:58 a.m., prior to the recess, Melissa Holt, church administrator of Mount Pleasant Church, Herndon, offered the benediction.

Tuesday Evening36. At 7 p.m., John Upton introduced the evening program of worship.37. Bill Miller, minister of music at Second Baptist Church, Richmond, and his son, Alan Miller, pastor of

Orange Baptist Church (Goshen), accompanied by Russell Wilson on the keyboard, presented sacred musical selections and led the congregation in a hymn.

38. Nathan Taylor, executive director of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society and the Center for Baptist Heritage & Studies, and Fred Anderson, executive director emeritus, presented an historical survey of Virginia Baptists across three centuries who answered God’s call to service. As they told of each personality, images of the persons were flashed upon the screens along with quotes from the historical personages. (The individuals whom they featured were Robert Norden, John Waller, Lott Cary, Edward Baptist, Henrietta Hall Shuck, “The Bedford Plowboys” – Jeremiah Bell Jeter and Daniel Witt, Noah Baldwin, Fletcher Mae Howell, Alma Hunt, Marjorie Bailey and Henry Langford.)


39. Aaron Lee presented the challenge to the congregation to assist in disaster relief ministries and offered a prayer. An offering was lifted to benefit the Virginia Baptist Disaster Relief ministry.

40. A video was shown on V3 and church planting.41. Three speakers shared Fresh Expressions of taking the church outside the walls: Gannon Sims,

BGAV Fresh Expressions; Mike Pumphrey; BGAV V3; and Doug Ballew, pastor of North Fork Baptist Church, Virgilina (Dan River). Gannon Sims stated that he anticipated “a third Great Awakening.”

42. Leith Anderson presented the second of his thematic messages. He stated that at the beginning of the 21st century, we have unprecedented opportunities and blessings. “What now?,” he asked; and responded by noting that one of the most common answers is that we need leaders. He contended that research has been done that there are always leaders but that does not mean they are always good leaders. He asked: How do we become the leaders whom God wants us to be?

First, he answered his own question by stating that it is by “doing what needs to be done.” “What does your church need to do to fulfill the call of Jesus Christ,” he asked. He observed that the answers might be “more prayer, more money, more people and concluded that “it is not an easy question.”

Secondly, “as leaders we need to live ‘Christian-ly.’” He speculated that some pastors feel that they are tired all of the time or their finances are difficult or there are other circumstances and they muse “if only” then I could be the kind of leader God intends me to be. “Until we realize,” said the speaker, “that we have a congregation just like that and the things that we think don’t qualify us, really enable us.” He remembered that his father said: “Love the people and preach the Bible.” He observed that leaders in difficult circumstances step up and show what it is like to be a Christian in that circumstance. He urged that his audience “live for Jesus Christ even in the midst of difficult situations.”

Thirdly, he maintained that we should “choose multiple mentors.” He observed that a mentor is someone you know so well that you could predict what that person would say or do in a situation in which they have never been. He used the illustration of the king in the story of Camelot who found an imaginary mentor in Merlin the magician. He suggested that his hearers go and visit a church that was where your church was five years ago and has met the issue or problem and succeeded and go and see how they did it. He maintained that churches need mentors.

Fourthly, he cautioned that we need to “learn the leadership context.” He offered a procedure: “Where do the people in the church come from, what do they do, religious background, the history of the community, how do the schools function…we need to understand the culture and don’t take our understanding of another church and put it upon the church that we lead.” He maintained that the reason we have four Gospel writers is that “the Holy Spirit recognized that there were different contexts and that related to different audiences.”

Fifthly, he cautioned to “beware of cutting edge.” “We need to be cautious that it not be about the latest fashion and that our leaders should not be fad driven but be driven by God.” He urged that while “we need to learn from others, beware!”

Sixthly, he stated: “Trust God for the long term.” He likened it to the world of finance where there are day-traders and “then there’s Warren Buffet who invests for the long-term future.” He cited Lyle Schaller who consulted with 6,000 congregations across America; and when asked about effective church leaders, he said that the very best years of a church often began in the seventh, eighth or ninth year of a pastor’s ministry. “We need to be the kind of leaders who have a commitment to a congregation for the long-term.” He referred to the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 which he called a parable of a long-time basis, showing those marvelous results which had come.

He closed with the story of the summer Olympics in 1968 in Mexico when 34% of the runners dropped out of the marathon race. He shared that the last runner had injured himself but kept

139PROCEEDINGS

running even two hours after the winner and a reporter asked, “why didn’t you quit the race when you were hurt.” The reply was that “my country, Tanzania, did not send me ten-thousand miles to start the race but to finish the race.” Anderson concluded: “Jesus Christ sent you to finish the race for Him.” He closed with the prayer that we be found faithful.

43. At 8:20 p.m., Mark Jones, pastor of Memorial Church, Staunton, closed the session with prayer.

58. At 10:07, the meeting went into recess.59. Leith Anderson presented his third message. He took his hearers to the scene in Ancient Rome

when the Empire experienced corruptions and immorality. He noted that life expectancy at the time was far less than half of what it is in today’s America. He shared that in almost every family there were children who died and abortion was very common. He added that medical procedures were primitive and knowledge of germs was completely unknown; that infants were often abandoned and that infanticide was practiced almost exclusively on females. He explained that such practices contributed to an enormous gender disproportion. He added that disease was rampant, causing sometimes half the population of a city to die and prompting the Roman government to repopulate the city with tens of thousands from other parts of the Empire. He pictured the chaotic nature

141PROCEEDINGS

of the times when these transplants came into a city and resulted in a population which had no knowledge of each other. He explained that the Romans were religiously tolerant and did not impose their religion upon conquered people as long as the conquered were faithful to the Roman Emperor. He told the story of the great fire of Rome which destroyed much of the population and left many others homeless which gave rise to the theory that Nero himself had destroyed the city. He further pictured the resentment which the surviving populace had towards the emperor who had a political crisis upon his hands and chose to blame the Christians. He continued that Nero built off of common rumors including that Christians were cannibals, practiced sexual orgies and were against family values. He added that Nero authorized widespread persecution of the Christians and many were crucified. He stated that in the midst of all this, Peter wrote 1 Peter 2:9-12: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people… Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” (KJV) Anderson stressed that Peter was describing what the early Christians response should be so that by living such good lives even among the pagans, the people would see God. Anderson contended that Peter also was talking about us in the 21st century. He offered a personal illustration from childhood when a child was not chosen for a position in sports or sometimes was chosen, comparing that situation with God choosing you to be on his team of “a royal priesthood.” He offered another illustration, noting that we have “a direct line, the pin number of God so that God has given us access as if we were at the top of the list.” He maintained that Christians “are different and don’t quite behave like everybody else,” a people belonging to God; and he emphasized that there is “enormous value of being somebody who belongs to God.” He offered another illustration regarding Pope Francis receiving a very expensive motorcycle which he sold, explaining that the motorcycle itself was not worth so much but it became valued because of who owned it. “Our value is that we belong to Jesus Christ.” Leith Anderson maintained that the statement “we are a holy nation,” is a description for who Christians are and added: “We are different because of our relationship with God and that makes our behavior different.” He explained that what Peter was saying was “to act as if we belonged to God.” He noted that “glorify” had to do with a person’s reputation, thereby meaning that Christians are “to enhance God’s reputation.” He added: “The early Christians behaved so as to bring glory to the name of God.”

In further historical references, Anderson shared that the pagans had a shortage of women (due to the infanticide practices upon female infants) and “the Christians cornered the female market in the Roman Empire.” He continued: “Pagan men showed up at church looking for wives but the church insisted that marriage had to be between believers and, as a result, by the hundreds of thousands, men came into the church.” He further explained that as plagues swept through and the Empire brought immigrants into the native population, the immigrants found the church was always welcoming and some immigrants got jobs in homes and became Christians by larger and larger numbers. He stated that through the Edict of Milan, Constantine declared that Christianity was the legal religion of the Empire. He reminded the audience that after winning a battle, Constantine decided everybody should become a Christian. He shared statistics to illustrate the growth of early Christianity: In A.D. 40 there were 1,000 Christians in the Empire or virtually “zero” “but they glorified God and lived faithfully in the worst of circumstances and the number of Christians increased.” “The number jumped to 218,000 Christians yet so small of the overall population but they glorified God.” By A.D. 350, Anderson said that there were 33.9 million Christians or 56% of the population. “How did they do it?” he asked and answered his own question, thusly: “They lived holy lives.”

Anderson turned attention to the present. “What about now? How do Christians live around the world and here in America in the second decade of the 21st century? Christians are in the forefront of stopping human trafficking. Christians are the ones espousing the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Immigrants are bringing the Gospel to the United States of America. Some historians are


saying that hundreds of years from now people will say that the early 21st century was one of the great periods.”

By way of illustration, he cited a list of contemporary crises, including the Columbine school shooting, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the church shootings in Charleston, S.C., where the families of victims called for forgiveness, the Ebola epidemic across Africa yet Christian missionaries stayed and helped, the most recent of horrific acts – the Sutherland Springs, Texas mass shooting in a church yet the pastor who lost his own 14-year-old daughter offered a powerful testimony and witness in the face of overwhelming tragedy.

He closed with a reference to Stephen who delivered a long sermon and was stoned to death. He quoted from Acts 7:55-56: “But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.” (KJV) He closed with the thought: “May you live such holy lives that Jesus will stand for you.”

60. The congregation of messengers and visitors entered into a Communion Service. It began with Michael Cheuk singing “Come to the table…” Nancy Stanton McDaniel instructed the congregation on the Memorial Table and the meal. Jonathan Davis shared the story behind the cup. The congregation sang, “Jesus Paid It All” and lines formed to receive the elements.

61. At 11:40 a.m., George Fletcher, the new president, closed with prayer and pronounced that the meeting was adjourned.

She is survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and a world of friends to cherish her life and legacy. Miss Allie surrendered to a life calling in Christian ministry during a tent revival in Lockhart, South Carolina. When it was unpopular for a woman to venture much beyond the home, she was a trailblazer. She began her life of education and service by graduating from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. She served churches on staff in numerous states during the 1960s. She was then called to the hills of Independence, Virginia, and served faithfully there as a state missionary until her retirement. She was met with much resistance as a woman, but she persevered to lead many of those churches to begin outreach to children through Sunday School classes and VBS. Today hundreds of adults know Jesus and many are serving in various areas of ministry because of her commitment.Following retirement, Miss Allie went back to work with both NAMB and the IMB. She served in Japan as a Journeyman teaching ESL and using the Bible as her textbook. While serving in Japan, she lost the sight in one eye. She returned to Independence and continued to voluntarily serve those local churches and the people she dearly loved. In 2005 she began to lose sight in her other eye and decided to move to the Martha Franks Baptist Retirement Community in Laurens, South Carolina. As blindness took both her eyes, she still remained active, speaking in local churches and sharing her life of service to the Lord with anyone that visited her. She would often say; “At least I can see light, and I am grateful for that.” Thousands are grateful to her for bringing the light of Jesus into their lives.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Trustees Baptist General Association of Virginia Richmond, Virginia

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Baptist General Association of Virginia (“BGAV”), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.


Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baptist General Association of Virginia as of December 31, 2017, and the change in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Activities: Baptist General Association of Virginia (“BGAV”) is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to spreading the gospel through establishing, developing, and promoting all aspects of church ministry and missionary activities. The financial statements include the transactions of the Eagle Eyrie and Piankatank Camp and Conference Centers which are part of the corporate entity. BGAV changed its name during 2015, and was formerly known as Virginia Baptist Mission Board.

Basis of Accounting: The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Classes of net assets are reported as follows:

Unrestricted - Net assets that are currently available at the discretion of the Executive Committee for use in BGAV's operations and those resources invested in property or equipment.

Temporarily Restricted - Net assets that are stipulated by donors for specific purposes or which have temporary time restrictions. When a donor or time restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

Permanently Restricted - Net assets that are restricted by donor-imposed stipulations that they be invested in perpetuity, the income from which is expendable in accordance with the conditions of each specific donation.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from these estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, BGAV considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investments: Investments are recorded at their fair value. Investment income is recorded when interest is earned and dividends are declared. Gain or loss on investment sales is recorded on the trade date. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the change between cost basis and fair value of the investments at year-end compared to the prior year. At December 31, 2017, all amounts are invested with the Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc., and are part of its diversified investment pool.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject BGAV to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and investments. Cash is held by several financial institutions and the management of BGAV monitors their credit ratings in order to mitigate this concentration of credit risk. BGAV has cash deposits in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the federal government. Securities are diversified in various investments over multiple industry areas and companies to minimize credit risk.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 5 to 10 years for furniture and equipment and 3 to 5 years for vehicles. The costs of major improvements are capitalized, while the cost ofmaintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed. The cost and accumulated depreciation on property and equipment are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of the change in net assets. Depreciation expense was $853,044 for 2017.

Bond Issuance Costs: Bond issuance costs represent costs associated with the issuance of bonds (see Note 8). BGAV has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 Interest – Imputation of Interest, which requires debt issuance costs to be reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the related debt instrument. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related borrowings by a method that approximates the effective interest method. Amortization amounted to $21,352 for 2017 and loan costs were fully amortized during 2017 in connection with the payoff of the bond payable.

Contributions: Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted or permanently restricted, depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions.

Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $116,238 for 2017 and is included in program expenses in the accompanying statement of activities.

Fundraising: The costs incurred to raise contributions and donations to BGAV is insignificant as a result of the nature of the BGAV and its donors.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

Income Taxes: BGAV is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and the tax statutes of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Management has evaluated the effect of FASB guidance surrounding uncertain income tax positions and concluded that BGAV has no significant financial statement exposure to uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2017. Management has determined that BGAV is not required to file an informational return (Form 990) based on its religious affiliation. BGAV is not currently under audit by any tax jurisdiction.

Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through May 23, 2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Management has determined there are no subsequent events to be reported in the accompanying financial statements.

2. Employee Receivables:

BGAV makes second mortgage and signatory loans to employees. These loans are primarily made from restricted donor funds for this specific purpose. The loans bear interest at 5.0% and are amortized over a period of 15 to 20 years. The second mortgage notes are collateralized by deeds of trust. At December 31, 2017, there were twenty loans outstanding. Maturities of the employee receivables are as follows for future years ending December 31:

UnrealizedCost Gain Market

Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc. (see Note 6) 10,576,750$ 857,273$ 11,434,023$

4. Beneficial Interest in Trusts:

BGAV has beneficial interests in thirty-two split-interest agreements in the form of perpetual trusts. The contribution portion of a trust is recognized as revenue when BGAV has the unconditional right to receive benefits under the agreement and is measured at the fair value on that date. During the term of the agreement, any changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of activities as gain or loss on beneficial interest in perpetual trusts.

BGAV is the beneficiary of various other trusts. There is not enough information available to value these interests. Annual receipts are included in contributions income.

5. Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment at December 31, 2017 consisted of the following:

Land 721,250$Buildings and improvements 19,999,985Vehicles 1,698,490Furniture and equipment 1,916,983

24,336,708Less - accumulated depreciation (17,276,306)

7,060,402$

6. Fair Value Measurements:

The FASB established a framework for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).




11

6. Fair Value Measurements, Continued:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market

data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2017.

Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc.: Valued on the basis of the net asset value of units held by BGAV at year-end.

Beneficial interest in perpetual trusts: Valued using the fair value of the underlying assets of the trust as an estimate for the present value of the expected future cash flows.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although BGAV believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.




12

6. Fair Value Measurements, Continued:

BGAV did not have any Level 1 or 2 assets at December 31, 2017. The following table includes the assets at fair value that qualify as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2017:

Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc.:Certificates of deposit 440,097$Equity portfolio 6,965,155Real estate 311,550Fixed income portfolio 3,717,221

Balance, December 31, 2017 11,434,023$ 7,684,367$

Amounts invested with the Virginia Baptist Foundation are held in multiple accounts based on specific naming criteria of BGAV, which primarily correlates to individual project funds within BGAV. For each account, there is an executed management agreement outlining the chosen investment guidelines for the account. The Foundation generally provides three investment portfolio alternatives: equity, balanced, and fixed income. The BGAV accounts are typically invested with a 60%/40% split between equity and fixed income, respectively, but any combination is permitted. The accounts have no restrictive redemption provisions and no unfunded commitment requirements. All earnings are reinvested.

8. Bond Payable - Net:

In November 2008, BGAV issued a Fixed Rate Tax Exempt Revenue Bond through a private placement with Eastern Virginia Bank in the aggregate principal amount of $3,500,000. The bond was used to finance BGAV's construction costs of renovating and expanding Camp Piankatank. Monthly payments of $12,039, including 4.167% interest, were due until November 2021. The outstanding principal balance on the bond was paid in full during 2017.

9. Endowment Funds:

BGAV's endowment consists of six individual funds which are donor restricted endowment funds and one fund which is a board designated endowment fund. These funds were established for a variety of purposes. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with these endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

The management of donor-restricted endowment funds is governed by state law under the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMlFA) as adopted by the Virginia state legislature in 2008. The law gives guidance for investment and spending practices, giving consideration for donor-intent and the organization's overall resources and charitable purpose. Based on their interpretation of law and in compliance with donor intent, BGAV classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment. The portion of the donor-restricted endowment that is not classified as permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure.

BGAV appropriates amounts for expenditure based upon accumulated earnings in the funds and the needs of the organization. The primary objective is long-term capital appreciation and total return. BGAV utilizes diversified investment classes that provide the opportunity to achieve the return objectives without exposing the funds to unnecessary risk.

At December 31, 2017, the endowment net asset composition by type of fund was as follows:

Donor-restricted endowments -$ 185,278$ 255,946$ 441,224$Board-designated endowments 4,283,704 - - 4,283,704

11. Related Party Transactions:

BGAV leases portions of its buildings to certain of its various agencies. The leases expire on various dates through December 31, 2018, and expected annual rental income from these leases is $140,906. Receipts from these agencies are included in other income in the accompanying statement of activities and amounted to $136,771 for 2017.

BGAV has a loan payable to the Baptist Extension Board for capital improvements at Camp Piankatank. The loan required 36 interest-only payments at a rate of 4.25%, then 180 payments of principal and interest at the same rate, which began in March 2015. As of December 31, 2017, the loan balance was $149,863. Future maturities of the loan payable are $9,626 for 2018; $10,043 for 2019; $10,478 for 2020; $10,932 for 2021; $11,658 for 2022; and $97,126 thereafter.

12. Post Retirement Health Care Plan:

BGAV sponsors a defined benefit postretirement health care plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all employees with an employment date prior to July 1, 1994. BGAV provides certain post-employment supplemental retirement pay and life and health insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. Employees become eligible for the benefits upon reaching age 55. The Plan is noncontributory. In 2007, accounting standards were implemented by BGAV which requires an employer to recognize the funded status of deferred benefit and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Funded status represents the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. Changes in the net actuarial pension loss are required to be recognized through the statement of activities in the year in which the changes occur. In 2008, BGAV also implemented accounting standards which require an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position.




17

12. Post Retirement Health Care Plan, Continued:

In 2017, the Plan was amended as follows:

The postretirement life insurance benefits were eliminated for all but previously electing retirees, and

The age and service requirements were increased for active and future participants who had not yet elected retirement.

The following sets forth the change in the benefit obligation, plan assets and funded status of the Plan and the amounts recognized in BGAV’s statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 using the measurement date of December 31, 2017 (the most recent actuarial data available):

Change in benefit obligation:Projected benefit obligation, beginning of year 4,359,302$ Service cost 70,679 Interest cost 161,615 Change in assumptions 80,449 Actuarial gain (326,881) Plan change (703,834) Benefits paid (206,249) Projected benefit obligation, end of year 3,435,081

13. Retirement Plan:

BGAV participates in the Southern Baptist Convention Annuity Plan, an Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) defined contribution retirement plan, administered by GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. The plan covers all full-time salaried BGAV employees. The plan provides for contributions up to 15% of compensation. Total contributions paid by BGAV were $337,020 in 2017, which is included in support services expense in the accompanying statement of activities.




19

14. Commitments and Contingencies:

BGAV leases equipment and rental space under several non-cancelable operating leases with terms ending through 2022. Estimated minimum payments under these leases are as follows for subsequent years ending December 31:

Year Amount

2018 41,877$2019 24,3242020 22,6022021 8,7022022 1,751

99,256$

Rental expense was $74,990 for 2017.

The Eagle Eyrie Conference Center leases 14 lodges to its members. These leases run through 2030 at various annual rental rates. The members are assessed for the costs of operation and maintenance of these lodges. BGAV has the right to sub-lease the lodges when the member is not using them and 50% of the rent received is paid to the member. Rent received is recorded with camps and conference centers operating revenues and rent paid to members, amounting to $97,083 for 2017.

From time to time, BGAV may be involved in claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on BGAV’s financial position, results of activities, or cash flows

15. New Accounting Guidance:

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-14, “Not-For-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-For-Profit Entities”, which both simplifies certain aspects of reporting required by not-for-profit organizations and increases disclosures with a goal to improve the usefulness of not-for-profit financial statements to the various stakeholders, including management, directors, lenders, and donors. Significant changes include the following:

Replaces the existing three classes of net assets (unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted) with two new classes of net assets—net assets with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions




20

15. New Accounting Guidance, Continued:

Changes the net asset classification of the underwater amounts of donor-restricted endowment funds to be shown as a component of net assets with donor restrictionsand requires additional disclosures for underwater endowment funds

Requires all not-for-profits to provide expenses by nature and function

Requires expansive disclosures (both quantitative and qualitative) of information about liquidity and availability of resources

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. BGAV has elected not to early adopt this ASU and intends to adopt it prior to the required transition date.

ACP COMPILATIONS


Explanation of the Annual Church Profile (ACP)

The Annual Church Profile (ACP) is a process of collecting data from our churches that seeks to preserve Virginia Baptist history while collecting data on our ministries. Some of the information collected and compiled includes: church leadership, membership, Sunday school, Baptisms, Discipleship, Financial Information, Vacation Bible School, and Missions. Additionally, the Baptist General Association of Virginia monitors and assists those churches who, by the BGAV Constitution and Bylaws (Article III, Section C), are designated as Watchcare* churches. Those churches are designated with a red asterisk in the following pages, 266–305. Also to note, statistics for multi-site churches are included in the data of the original campus.

* Watchcare—A church unable to contribute financially, as a new start and/or hardship, to the Virginia portion of the Cooperative Missions Budget may be named on the group exemption roster for IRS as exempt from Federal income tax under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code under the General Association’s blanket exemption from Federal income tax; may receive annuity benefits for staff, and publications and services for up to five (5) years in accordance with policy; and may receive mentoring and/or shepherding, determined by the Virginia Baptist Mission Board staff and/or committees, for proactive special ministry needs.
