Who are we? What connects us to one another?
These are questions we can ask, not only of ourselves as individuals, but also of our congregations. And we have been asking these questions lately in this “beloved community” we call Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina.
We believe we are loved by God to share God’s love with the world. We believe we are more faithful and effective in sharing that love because we are in community with God and each other.
We are a community that stands firm on historic Baptist principles, including the affirmation of believer-priests and free churches. But we are not Independent Baptists. We are Cooperative Baptists who, like barbecue, has a North Carolina flavor.
The pages of this report provide snapshots of ways this beloved community has been sharing God’s love with each other and the world during our 2015-2016 ministry year. Please read, offer prayers of gratitude, and discern how you can engage in our beloved community.
