ON THE COVER

CBFNC’s Red Latina Ministry hosted women from across the state at its 2020 Women’s Conference at First-Huntersville.

TWO ARE

BETTER THAN

Three items are worth highlighting here:

ONE,

because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) CBFNC’s name is comprised of four key concepts: Cooperative, Baptist, Fellowship and North Carolina. Each of these concepts is central to our identity and our way of following Jesus. Because we are Baptists who value freedom and autonomy, we have to work at the first concept, cooperation. For Baptists, cooperation doesn’t come naturally. It requires focus, effort and faithfulness. In fact, I believe that for Baptists, cooperation is a spiritual discipline.

With Christ at the center, everything we do as CBFNC seeks to honor both freedom and cooperation. In this 2020 Annual Report we celebrate the cooperative nature of our fellowship.

As you review the numbers, pictures, stories and testimonies, look for the ways CBFNC exhibits the spirit of Christ-centered cooperation. Even if you personally weren’t engaged in a particular ministry, your support of our fellowship—financially, through prayer, or by advocating for CBFNC in your church or relational network—is an expression of the spirit of cooperation.

STAFF CHANGES – Two of our long-time staff members, Linda Jones and Rick Jordan, retired. Though we were sad to say good-bye, we blessed them as they began a new chapter of life focused on family and other goals. We were pleased to welcome three new folks to our staff team: Scott Hudgins as director of our Lilly-funded initiative, Helping Pastors Thrive; Tracy Davis as administrative assistant; and Jamie Rorrer as communications director. In addition, Mary Kaylor, who had joined the CBFNC staff the prior year as administration manager, began a new role as associate coordinator, with a focus on congregational and missional resources.

COVID-19 RESPONSE – In March, our lives, like the rest of the world, were turned upside-down by the global coronavirus pandemic and its resulting disease, Covid-19. The pandemic forced us to cancel the 2020 Annual Gathering. Our staff and volunteer leaders immediately pivoted from our normal ministry offerings to provide a robust portfolio of ministries focused on coronavirus response.

RACIAL JUSTICE – As an outgrowth of the decade-long work of CBFNC’s Racial Equity and Justice Team, a feature of the 2020 Annual Gathering was to have been an expanded workshop on systemic racism led by the Racial Equity Institute. In response to several high-profile acts of racial violence, culminating in the murder of George Floyd, we were able to offer this training online, as well as other resources on racism.

The

Spirit of

Thank you for the many ways you exhibit the spirit of Christ-centered Baptist Cooperation through CBFNC—including your financial support. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, we need each other and are much stronger and effective together than we could ever be alone.

EQUIP AS ONE OF OUR CORE MINISTRY PRIORITIES, CBFNC equips ministers and churches by supporting and strengthening ministry leaders and the congregations they serve. We seek to equip ministers and churches in three primary ways:

4

•

Ministerial Transitions: Assisting ministers and churches navigating changes in ministry placement and employment.

•

Ministerial Resources: Providing resources for ministers to grow spiritually and professionally, including the Lilly-funded Helping Pastors Thrive initiative.

•

Church Resources: Developing a network of resource providers, sister churches and ministry partners that can respond to congregational needs.

MINISTERS & CHURCHES The numbers that follow reflect how CBFNC collaborated with ministers and churches in the last year to better equip them for ministry.

Funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment, CBFNC’s Helping Pastors Thrive ministry officially launched in 2019. The program’s three initiatives focus on three distinct vocational stages, which include: • New Pastors Cohort for pastors in their first three years of post-seminary congregational ministry; • Workshop Retreats for Pastors for early and mid-career pastors navigating the complex challenges of ministry in established congregations; • Pastor-in-Residence Program for late career pastors who are nearing retirement and desire dedicated time away from their ministries to reflect on the meaning of their vocation, to prepare for their final years of pastoral service, and to share what they have learned with younger pastors.

CBFNC PARTNERED WITH CBF GLOBAL, congregations and other organizations to provide disaster recovery efforts in several eastern North Carolina communities dealing with devastation from Hurricanes Florence and Michael, which stormed across our state in the fall of 2018. Recovery efforts lasted well into 2020.

In the immediate aftermath of the storms, CBFNC staff reached out to pastors and leaders of partner congregations in the affected areas, providing spiritual and financial support.

“My experience in an REI workshop was truly groundbreaking. It wasn't that I learned new information but I had never had the dots of American history connected for me in that way. I left with a deeper understanding of the insidious role that race and racism have played in the creation of America. It's more than just racist people, racial inequity is woven into the very fabric of American history. Even before we ask, 'what do we do,' we must learn to be truthful about how we got to be where we are.“ –Rev. Scott A. Hovey, pastor St. John's Baptist Church, Raleigh

I hoped to begin creating new memories, and this beach retreat gave us the perfect opportunity to bond as a group away from the hustle and bustle of their lives at home. This trip kicked off our future as a group, and they have continued to talk about the memories they made there all year long. It made them excited for other CBFNC trips, such as the Winterplace ski retreat, and of course they began a countdown to return to Caswell again.”

COLLEGIATE MINISTRY SPRING BREAK MISSION TRIP

CBFNC’S INVESTMENT IN MINISTERING to young adults and college students has always been integral in our overall commitment to serving Christ.

In today’s environment, connecting with students is ever so important. Having a CBFNC campus minister with whom students can relate is paramount as they go through these crucial years into adulthood. Our campus ministers invested in the lives of college students in a variety of ways over the past year.

We are proud that during the COVID-19 upheaval, our college ministers continued to connect with their students, as well as reach new students. The ways in which we do college ministry have changed drastically this year, but CBFNC and our campus ministers are discovering new ways to reach and connect with young adults during this important time in their lives.

Students from Western Carolina University, UNC Asheville, and Appalachian State University spent time on their spring break serving in North Charleston, SC. The students worked with Metanoia, a community development organization started by CBF of South Carolina. Students worked on property fences and painting housing units that Metanoia will use to make affordable housing possible in North Charleston.

Campus groups participated

Just as the spring semester began at college campuses across North Carolina, CBFNC Collegiate Ministry gathered for its annual Mid-Winter Retreat. Students and support staff from over 10 different campuses assembled for a time worship and reflection at Camp Thunderbird in Lake Wylie, SC. The theme, “In-Focus,” was chosen for the weekend to intentionally be a time of spiritual renewal and rest, giving students opportunities to explore different topics.

This year, the event was expanded to include CBF young adult ministries from other states.

OUR FELLOWSHIP

AN UNANTICIPATED SHIFT Bringing Cooperative Baptists across North Carolina together for the CBFNC Annual Gathering each March is central to how we enhance our fellowship.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we made the hard decision to cancel this year’s Annual Gathering. The global pandemic that forced radical changes for the world, our nation and our churches, also led to a new approach to ministry for CBFNC. Our response to the Coronavirus included the following: •

$20,000+

•

Virtual Roundtables and Webinars: Hosted online events on various topics

•

Individual Consultations and Assistance: Checking on and consulting with pastors, associate ministers and other church leaders, offered PPE supplies and online giving platform for churches

•

Grants: Offered special technology and hunger fund grants to congregations and ministry partners

•

Robust Communication: Increased communication to a weekly email in the initial phase and continue to communicate regularly and clearly through a variety platforms

In the midst of the pandemic, our nation found itself in the grip of another upheaval over racial injustice. A series of murders of black people, at the hands of police or vigilantes, led to protests nationwide. Building on a strong foundation laid by more than a decade of racial justice ministry, CBFNC offered a webinar led by Dr. Curtis Freeman and Dr. David Goatley both with Duke Divinity School about deepening the racial justice conversation. We also provided training online by the Racial Equity Institute in which 200 people registered. Our Racial Equity Justice and Ministry team is working to expand racial justice resources and advocacy in the days ahead.

GOING FORWARD

Putting our ministry into motion to share God's love in our state and world.

Putting our ministry into motion to share God's love in our state and world.

BECAUSE THE 2020 ANNUAL GATHERING was cancelled, the CBFNC Annual Business Meeting (ABM) was pushed back to June, during the state meeting of the virtual 2020 CBF General Assembly. In the ABM, our North Carolina fellowship voted to approve new bylaws, allowing CBFNC to adopt a new Ministry Team Structure that will be implemented in April 2021. This new Ministry Team structure will be more nimble and flexible, involve and bless more people in the areas of their passion and giftedness, and enable us to better “put our ministry in motion� to address the pressing challenges of congregations and our shared mission.
