identity and covenant

Remembering

w ho we are

I recently had a conversation with a pastor I know well, who serves a congregation I know well. It’s a county seat First Baptist Church characterized by all of the assets and liabilities that designation implies. This church, fortunately, is experiencing renewal and growth, including numerical growth. I asked the pastor to explain why the church seems to be doing better than many of its peers. He described its vital worship, strong lay leadership, generous financial stewardship, engagement with young adults, excitement over a new building project, and other factors. Then he added, “And we are very clear about our identity with new people.”

“What do you mean?” I asked him.

“Let me give you an example,” he went on.

“Recently, members of our church invited friends to visit the church with them. They liked our worship services and youth programs. When I visited with the family, the father said, ‘We like your church very much. We are interested in joining the church. There’s just one problem. We noticed in the worship bulletin that your female youth director is referred to as Reverend.

How can you justify ordaining a woman?’”

“Let me answer that one very quickly,” my friend interjected. “The equality of women in the home and the church is a value our congregation holds dear. It is very important to us. If you are uncomfortable with that, we’re not the church for you. There are other churches in this county you might find more compatible, and I’d be glad to help you connect with one of them.”

The pastor said that when newcomers come their way, they are quick to explain what kind of Baptist church they are. Sometimes, that means people don’t join. But those who do are a good fit, and it makes their church even stronger. As a result of clearly articulating their identity, they are a healthier church experiencing healthier growth.

by Larry Hovis, CBFNC Executive Coordinator

For CBFNC partner churches, congregational identity is shaped by many aspects, including: Christian – Along with about 2 billion other people in the world, we are Christian. We confess that we are created, redeemed and sustained by the Triune God, Father, Son and Spirit, in whom we live, move and have our being.

Baptist – We are Baptist. Our way of following the Triune God is shaped by concepts like soul competency, congregational freedom, religious freedom for all, Biblical authority, a regenerate church membership, and the call of all disciples to evangelism and mission.

Cooperative – We are Cooperative Baptists. We affirm both women and men, clergy and laity, as church leaders. We value other Christian traditions and respect other faiths. We share the Gospel in word and deed. We value servant leadership and authentic theological education. We practice mercy and justice. We emphasize serving the last and the least, in addition to the lost. We appreciate various shades of gray, not just black and white.

Local – Our identity is shaped by our local context. We are North Carolinians.

Our churches reside in unique communities (Coastal Plains, Piedmont, Mountains) with particular histories. Each has its own personality, strengths and peculiarities.

I have experienced two significant listening processes in recent years. The first came as part of the CBF national 2012 Task Force; the second, as part of the CBFNC 20th Anniversary Vision Team. In both cases, Cooperative Baptist Christians expressed a strong desire to clarify identity – both the identities of individual congregations and the identity of our Fellowship. Implied in this request is the desire that we clarify what it means for us to live and serve together, as a covenant community. In the coming months and years, CBF leaders (in NC and beyond), will facilitate conversations to help us meet this expressed need.

One of the most influential people in my life as I was growing up was Isabelle P. Graham, my Great Aunt Belle. She never married, and worked in the business world long before many women did. She was my grandmother’s sister, who came to live with her when my grandfather died. My dad was only six years old at the time. Aunt Belle not only helped to rear him, she did the same for my sister and me, even though we had the blessing of two parents. Aunt Belle was wise both in the ways of God and the ways of the world. She dispensed a great deal of good advice through the years. Perhaps the greatest wisdom she passed on to me was to tell me about my ancestors, most of whom I never had the opportunity to meet personally, but her introduction of them was the next best thing. On several occasions she said to me, “You are a Graham. You come from good stock. Always remember who you are.”

Dear CBFNC family. You come from good stock. Christian. Baptist. Cooperative Baptist. North Carolina. Always remember who you are.

Building bridges

by Ka’thy Gore Chappell, CBFNC Leadership Development Coordinator

Baptist University of the Americas is a private Baptist university in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 1947, the school is associated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Because of our strong partnership with the Hispanic network, Companerismo Cristiano Emanuel, CBFNC supports BUA in the theological education scholarship of North Carolina students. At present, Alex Alvarado, Alvaro Cisneros, Jonathan Juarez and Miriam Juarez-Custodio are CBFNC Scholars attending BUA. The mission of BUA is to train leaders, future pastors and church planters in their language, at a reasonable cost, with the purpose of returning to their home state (or region) for service. CBFNC has been on the receiving end of the BUA mission as year after year our Hispanic scholars and their families return to North Carolina to preach, teach, and serve in new church starts. CBFNC has the unique opportunity to be the presence of Christ with our Hispanic brothers and sisters in North Carolina and beyond.

Javier Benitez, CBFNC Hispanic Ministry Leader Coach, described his experience as a student at BUA as very good and emphasized the importance that BUA places on preparing students as pastors and church staff leaders. In our interview, Javier commented that each student is encouraged to use his/her Spanish, develop his/her English skills and learn the importance of understanding people.

When asked how CBFNC can be bridge builders with the Hispanic network, Javier responded passionately that the Companerismo Cristiano Emanuel is starting new churches every year which means that more pastors and staff need to be educated at BUA for service in these new church starts in North Carolina.

CBFNC theological education scholarships are crucial in the support of these students financially.

In celebration of the partnership with CBFNC, Javier Benitez affirmed that lives are being changed. The overall support by CBFNC of Companerismo Cristiano Emanuel through theological education scholarships, family and community building, work and service opportunities in new church starts, and ordination of women and men are transformative.

It used to be that “missions” meant traveling overseas to share Jesus’ powerful redemption story with people in different cultures.

Today those different cultures often live right next door.

Partnering with BUA bridges cultures and builds lives for the future.

–René Maciel, BUA President

The interim is the time Have you taken a “selfie” yet?

As you probably know, a selfie is a picture you take of yourself on your phone. Then, according to the outcome, you may share it with others or you may not. Selfies are popular today. Personally, I have not had the courage to take a selfie, but the day may come.

Congregations need to take a selfie from time to time. Taking a congregational selfie doesn’t mean getting the congregation out on the front steps of the church building to take a picture. That would be hard to do! What I mean by taking a congregational selfie is that periodically a congregation needs to clarify who they are as the followers of Christ at their time and place.

There is no better time in the life of a church to take a selfie than during an interim. Before you start looking for your next pastor, you need to take a selfie to clarify your identity. This step will help the search committee know what qualities they need to be looking for in their pastor. There are at least two things you need in order to take a selfie of your church before the search actually begins.

First of all, you need to clarify your core values. Core values are those things that are important to you as a congregation ... what drives you to do what you do. They could include things like meaningful worship, a sense of community, in-depth Bible study, an understanding of what it means to be Baptist, reaching others for Christ or being missional as you meet the needs of the community. You may quickly say that all those are important — and they should be — but what are the things that your church values most of all? Taking a selfie means determining what your core values are.

Secondly, in light of your core values, you need to clarify a vision for the future. To establish a vision you may need to take a selfie of what you are currently doing. Ask yourself the following questions: What are some of the things we are doing well? What are the things we are doing well, but we need to improve on? What are some things we aren’t doing, but should be doing because of

[

our core values? What are some of the things we are currently doing that we should discontinue? These questions and others, along with your core values, should help you see where God is leading you and clarify the vision for your church.

The selfies that the congregation takes clarifies its identity.

The congregation and the Pastor Search Committee can then determine what qualities and abilities your next pastor may need to lead you to accomplish your vision as determined by your core values.

A congregation is rarely able to take a selfie of itself. It often needs a facilitator/coach to guide the process.

On the support staff of CBFNC are four Transition Facilitators who can assist your congregation in clarifying its identity. They are situated in four sections of the state:

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina mission AND ministry EMPHASIS Please consider conducting the 2014-2015 CBFNC Mission and Ministry Emphasis (MME) in your church. Resource kits have been mailed to each church address; additional ones can be ordered from the CBFNC website, www.cbfnc.org/give. Materials may also be downloaded from the CBFNC website. The MME is a great way to accomplish the following: • Provide an avenue to educate churches and individuals about the work of CBFNC and ways to become more engaged in that work.

• Strengthen the identity of CBFNC among partner churches and individuals.

• E ncourage individuals (on their own and through their congregation) to sustain and grow our missions and ministries through prayer and financial support.

Accomplishing more

together

Food for Days Backpack Ministry is in their second year of ministry, providing weekend meals to 175 children in the Mooresville Graded School and Iredell-Statesville School districts. Nine area churches partner together on this project. John Saunders, associate pastor of First, Mooresville, states, “All are seriously committed to this ministry. There is no turning back!”

Winter Park, Wilmington, has used their grant to work with UNC-W international students. In addition to UNC-W, partners include three other Wilmington churches. Marc and Kim Wyatt initiated this project while on at-home assignment as CBF field

CBFNC Local Mission Engagement Grants seek to encourage churches to minister beyond their walls and partner with community organizations and other churches, accomplishing far more together than they ever could alone. In the last 3 years, more than 35 grants have been awarded to a myriad of ministry endeavors.

Here are just a few:

personnel. Winter Park is also pursuing the possibility of an intern through CBFNC’s Collegiate Ministry program.

The community garden in downtown Clayton, created by Mosaic, Clayton, has become a meeting place for business people having lunch; a gathering spot for VBS and visits from Santa; and even a performance venue for Mosaic’s live rendition of “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” Partners include four other local churches.

Do you have a great new ministry idea? A Local Mission Engagement Grant could help get it started. A grant application is available at www. cbfnc.org/grant. Forge connections with another organization and other churches to make your great idea come to life! Deadline is November 30th.
