MINISTRY REPORT 2024
A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
In this Annual Report to the churches of the SBC of Virginia, you will read of the cooperative Gospel partnership of hundreds of churches comprised of over two hundred thousand Christians that are touching the lives of untold millions across local communities and around this world of many nations. We are a Great Commission coalition of Bible-believing, mission-minded churches known as the SBC of Virginia.
Even as we meet this week, we are advancing the Gospel together. Volunteers from SBCV churches are helping with disaster relief and rebuilding, supplied by SBCV churches with the necessary resources. Missionaries are pointing the nations to Jesus. Seminary students are attending classes. Churches are sending out church planters, and new churches are being started. Churches are seeking God’s hand of revitalization as they keep pressing on. A next generation is hearing the call to mobilize now. Men and women are growing in the faith.
This Annual Report is much more than just statistics and reports. This Annual Report is the combined story of how local churches are advancing the Gospel together to reach our neighbors and the nations. For almost a decade the SBC of Virginia has stated clearly and emphatically that you are not alone. Our vision is to see strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission as we advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ together. Our goal is to see strong healthy churches multiply as they proclaim the Gospel and make disciples across local communities,
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.
Acts 9:31
around this world - among all nations, peoples, tribes, and languages.
Yes, you will see the ministry investment plan. You will see information related to the business of this convention of churches. But, make no mistake, the business of the churches of the SBC of Virginia is advancing the Gospel together. The SBC of Virginia was founded by churches to come alongside local churches, advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ together to reach our neighbors and the nations. SBCV exists to extend your local church’s Gospel reach across our local communities and around the world.
Therefore, on behalf of missionaries, church planters, and seminary students you’ve assisted; on behalf of pastors and church leaders you’ve strengthened; on behalf of the suffering and hurting dealing with disaster and hardship; and on behalf of the lost who’ve been found – thank you for being a part of this Great Commission coalition known as the SBC of Virginia.
Thank you for your praying, giving, sending, and going as ambassadors for Christ. Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel. You are not alone as we are advancing the Gospel together! On behalf of the SBCV ministry team, this is your annual report.
Your brother in Christ,
Brian Autry
FEATURES
CORE VALUES
BIBLICAL TRUTH
The SBC of Virginia partnership of churches was founded upon the belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Even though the currents of culture may change, God’s Word never fails.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalm 119:105, ESV
GLOBAL MISSION
Our goal is to mobilize churches to partner together to make disciples and plant churches across Virginia, Metro D.C., North America, and around the world. We assist churches with the resources, support, and assistance to reach those ends. Churches are made up of Christians, who are empowered and equipped to know Jesus and make Him known among our neighbors and the nations.
“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.”
Psalm 96:3, NKJV
GOSPEL PARTNERSHIP
Our fellowship is about Gospel partnership. It is built on healthy relationships that advance Gospel partnership. The SBC of Virginia model of regionalization, decentralization, and personalization is becoming a model for the rest of the Southern Baptist Convention.
“I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now.”
Philippians 1:3-5, CSB
LOCAL CHURCHES
Our focus is strengthening and mobilizing the local churches. As our founding purpose statement reflects, the entire purpose of the SBC of Virginia is to assist local congregations in their task of fulfilling the Great Commission.
“So that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 3:10, ESV
FERVENT PRAYER
Let us unite our hearts and souls in fervent prayer for one another, for the mission before us, for the souls of those around us, for the glory of God.
“And he said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’”
Luke 10:2, ESV
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
more THAN A SLOGAN
We are united in our mission as a Great Commission coalition of churches.
The SBC of Virginia’s mission is to come alongside local churches advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ together to reach our neighbors and the nations.
You are not alone as you minister
You are not alone as you plant
Churches are strengthened through regional impact, relational intentionality, and resourcing. Organized into six regions, SBC of Virginia provides local, regional support to churches, pastors, and leaders. Relationships are built to strengthen one another through pastor networks, affinity groups, mentoring, and a team of regional strategists. Resources are provided to churches and leaders ranging from large-scale events with nationally recognized speakers to individualized consulting.
You are not alone as you mobilize
Churches are being mobilized for partnership missions and compassion ministries in Virginia and to the ends of the earth. Churches are praying, giving, equipping, and sending volunteers. We are working as a key strategic partner with the North American Mission Board, Send Relief, and the International Mission Board to reach the nations. New innovative compassion ministries undergird initiatives such as English as a Second Language and hunger relief ministries.
SBC of Virginia churches and the North American Mission Board have formed the dynamic church planting partnership — SEND Network Virginia. Close to 100 church plants and church planting small groups in multiple ethnicities are underway and are developing through Gospel partnership in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and beyond. Church planter networks, a team of church planting strategists, and associate church planting strategists/pastors are prayerfully seeking the Lord while supporting churches planting churches.
You are not alone as you revitalize
SBCV churches are revitalized through strategic relationships and personalized plans. Each pastor and church leader forge relationships and develop personalized objectives to address their church’s unique situation. A partnership with Revitalize Network provides the opportunity for even more churches to be assisted.
OUR MISSION IS:
the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ Proclaiming with all boldness and without hindrance.
ACTS 28:31 ESV
COOPERATIVE PARTNERSHIP
NO SMALL SUGGESTION
by Brian Autry, Executive Director
18Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
MATTHEW 28:18-20, CSB
Matthew 28:18-20 is simply and often referred to as the Great Commission. Some form of Christ’s commission is also found in the other places of the New Testament, but Matthew 28 often seems to be one of the most heralded. As followers of Christ, we are called to “make disciples of all nations.” Christ has called us — has commanded us — to proclaim the Gospel unto the ends of the earth. The Great Commission is no small suggestion. The Great Commission is no small suggestion and calls for strategic cooperation.
Since the New Testament era, church and mission leaders like the Apostle Paul have called upon churches to work together to plant, strengthen, and mobilize churches so the Gospel of Christ is proclaimed.
On May 13, 1925, Southern Baptists launched a unified and strategic missions support plan that became known as the Cooperative Program.
Through this Cooperative Program, or what I have come to call “Cooperative Partnership,” a church is able to support a greater missionary force and have greater ministry impact by working with other churches. For instance, local, regional, national, and international mission fields are reached when a church provides financial support through the Cooperative Program.
At first, it may seem that churches give to the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program. However, the more I have gotten to know and see the impact churches have by working together in this Cooperative Partnership for the Gospel, I believe churches don’t give to but give through the Cooperative Program.
Immediate Impact
It could take years for a church to develop a missions strategy. The Southern Baptist Cooperative Program allows for you to act now. When I was a church planter, our church was able to have immediate impact.
Mutual Support
Instead of missionaries having to constantly plead for resources or leave the field every year to raise funds, we work together to provide a system of mutual support so they can focus on their calling.
Global Strategy
Even though the world may seem to be getting “smaller,” it is still a big world with many people groups. We are seeing a multiplication of people groups right here, and we also want to reach across North America and around the world.
The Southern Baptist Cooperative Program is a strategy to reach locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. As a pastor, I was thankful for a global strategy instead of having to develop a strategy piece-meal on our own.
Personal even though it is comprehensive
Because the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program is so comprehensive, you may think it is impersonal. But it is not. The Cooperative Program makes seminary more affordable for individual students, helps plant and revitalize local churches, and supports missionaries all around the world. Each seminary student, every church helped, and missionary sent has a name, a story, and a calling. They are our children, our families, our communities, and our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Regional Ministry
HIGHLIGHTS
As 2024 draws to a close, the SBC of Virginia strategist team has been hard at work supporting local churches and pastors. By the end of the year, they will have conducted around 600 pastor consultations through in-person, phone, and online meetings. The team has also hosted 50 partnership meetings and participated in over 150 preaching engagements across the state, reinforcing the message that no pastor is alone.
Pastor-led prayer gatherings saw over 185 pastors come together for spiritual encouragement, and 53 churches are actively supporting church planters. The Send Virginia Vision Summit welcomed over 120 attendees, celebrating God’s work in church planting. The team also facilitated collaboration through residency retreats for equipping future church planters.
As the year wraps up, events like the Leadership Summit, Church Planter Assessments, and Pastor & Staff Appreciation Christmas Banquets will continue to strengthen connections and encourage pastors throughout Virginia.
CENTRAL REGION
In 2024, the SBCV’s Central Region held numerous church consultations and welcomed several new pastors. Among the churches involved were Sandy Creek Baptist Church, Swift Creek Baptist Church, and Corinth Baptist Church, which each saw new leadership.
Significant ministry celebrations took place, such as the ordination councils for Caleb Eckerd of Parkway Baptist Church and Justin Keller of Jefferson Park Baptist Church. Additionally, five regional churches voted to partner with the SBCV, and Enon Baptist Church in Chester celebrated its 175th anniversary.
Throughout the year, various training events and gatherings were hosted. Notably, a Seminary for a Day event was held at Iron Bridge Baptist Church, featuring a guest professor from Southeastern Seminary. An Evangelism Tour led by JJ Washington and a Refuel Conference sponsored by Liberty University were also conducted. Central Virginia hosted a Pastors’ Prayer Gathering and the Pro-Life Day Rally and March for Life, along with the annual Kids Ministry Conference that drew over 500 participants.
The region’s pastors, staff, and leaders engaged in collaborative and enriching experiences, including a Mission Leader Roundtable and a Discipleship Workshop. Additionally, events such as Student Fusion Camp and the
Women’s Leadership Training were key opportunities for growth and connection within the church community. The year also featured special gatherings for regional pastors, including a golf outing and an appreciation luncheon for supply and interim pastors.
CENTRAL-WEST AND SOUTHSIDE REGION
The Regional Pastor Networks in the Farmville, Lynchburg, and Danville areas have been active throughout 2024, with 24 meetings held and nearly 300 attendees. The region, which encompasses 123 SBCV churches across 12 counties and four cities, has focused on topics such as best practices in pastoral care, prayer, and connecting with missionaries. These gatherings have provided valuable opportunities for pastors to network and share insights.
The region also continues to support churches through consultations, including assistance with pastor searches and outreach strategies. Six churches received help with pastor search advice, while nine others were supported in areas such as missions and personal wellness. Additionally, new church plants were strategically guided in building connections with existing churches in their areas.
Partnerships within the region have flourished. Two Disciple-Now events in Farmville and Danville brought together over 500 students and leaders from 25 churches, resulting in at least five salvations and three baptisms. Ten churches participated in the Go Tell Crusade in Farmville.

The region continues to thrive through its faithful Gospel partnerships, reflecting the ongoing commitment of SBCV churches to their communities.
NORTH REGION
In 2024, the North Region has seen God at work in powerful ways through Gospel partnerships with churches. Pastors, planters, and staff have been encouraged and equipped throughout the year. Weekly scripture texts and prayer support were offered as leaders prepared for Sunday services. Two Pastors’ Prayer Gatherings took place in Woodbridge and Winchester, uniting church leaders in worship-based prayer. In February and March, 52 pastors, planters, and staff from 37 churches participated in Power Meal gatherings, with five more sessions held in September.
Preaching/Speaking Engagements in Local SBCV Churches
Churches Engaged Through Pastor Search Team Training
The region hosted a SEND Virginia Vision Summit and Church Planter Residency Network Retreat, bringing over 125 pastors and planters together to cast a vision for church planting. In March, the SBCV Evangelism Tour stopped in the region, with JJ Washington equipping leaders to renew their evangelism strategies. The region also held a Seminary for a Day event in April with Dr. Steven Wade, which had 72 participants. Throughout the first quarter of 2024, the North Region team had the privilege of preaching in seven international SBCV churches, encouraging them in their ministry. Pastors, staff, and planters continued to be supported through gatherings like Coffee and Conversation and Family Night at the Ballpark in August.
New church planting efforts have also been supported. Pastor Carlton Burns of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church is partnering to plant in Prince George County, while Pastor Terry Kim of Impact Church is planting a Hispanic church in Northern Virginia. Other partnerships and church requests for affiliation continue to expand the network.
The region is excited for upcoming events like the House of Prayer Summit and the Pastors, Wives, and Staff Appreciation Christmas Banquets in December. Through these efforts, the North Region is seeing laborers raised for the harvest field in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C..
SOUTHEAST REGION
In 2024, God continues to move powerfully in the Southeast Region of Virginia through the efforts of SBCV churches, which are working to reach the 1.7 million people living from
the urban areas of Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk to the rural communities of Suffolk, Surry, and the Eastern Shore.
Churches in the region are advancing the Gospel, as seen at the Youth Evangelism Conference in Virginia Beach, where nearly 1,000 teenagers gathered for worship. The region is also focused on expanding outreach to Hispanic communities, with gatherings of pastors and church planters to discuss strategies for church planting, including

the potential planting of a Hispanic church in the area. The Southeast Region is seeing new church plants, including CrossView Church in Virginia Beach, and several other church planters affirmed in their calling.
The region’s pastors are reminded that they are not alone when facing difficulties. SBCV pastors regularly connect for prayer and fellowship, and local churches have stepped in to offer pulpit supply when needed. In February, the regional prayer gathering brought pastors and church planters together, uniting them in prayer for their communities and ministries.
SBCV churches have been on mission throughout the summer, hosting mission trips and community outreach events. Families participating in the Family Fusion Mission Camp were able to lead individuals to Christ. SBCV churches also joined the Serve Tour in Michigan, serving communities and seeing numerous salvations. This is part of the preparation for the 2025 Serve Tour in Virginia Beach, where local churches will engage in mission work across the city.
From mission training to youth gatherings and baseball games, SBCV churches are not alone as they continue to spread the Gospel across the Southeast Region.
SOUTHWEST REGION
In 2024, the theme of “Not Alone” continues to be a driving force. Pastors, deacons, and lay leaders gather monthly across six regional locations for fellowship and encouragement.
Three churches began seeking partnership with the SBC of Virginia, the culmination of years of relationship-building. Other churches are also starting to explore partnering with the SBCV as they learn more about the network and its mission to support them.
Additionally, the SBCV provides quarterly workshops and Seminary for a Day events to train and equip leaders at every level. Churches undergoing pastoral transitions receive support through leadership coaching, training, and resources to help them confidently navigate the process of finding a new pastor.
April marked the second Pastor Vision Tour to Buenos Aires, with a team of Southwest region pastors visiting to explore missions. The region will also send its first mission team to Buenos Aires in the fall. Churches in the region are beginning to collaborate on new and strategic partnerships for ministry and outreach.
Several churches have requested to partner with the SBCV, including Moore’s Memorial, First Baptist Church of Hillsville, and Boissevain Baptist. New pastor appointments include Grundy Baptist, First Baptist of Pennington Gap, and Blueridge Chapel.
The SBCV continues to support churches through training on pastoral searches and incorporation, while also celebrating new baptisms following summer VBS programs, sports camps, and youth events. As these partnerships grow, we look forward to seeing how the Lord will continue to use SBCV churches to make the Gospel known throughout Southwest Virginia and beyond.
VALLEY REGION
The Valley Region has witnessed God’s continued work through church restarts, new partnerships, and leadership transitions. Many pastors and church leaders have been encouraged through weekly prayer messages and the expansion of the regional network. Churches such as Fishersville Community and Ridgeview are experiencing new life through restarts, and several church plants are taking root. The region has also provided guidance for churches seeking new pastors and staff, attracting attention from churches outside the network.
This year, the region welcomed new pastors, including Major Dalton at Christiansburg Baptist, Trevor Clatterbuck at Rocky Mount Baptist, and Chris Smith at Fishersville Community. Several new churches have applied for partnership with the SBCV, such as Glade Hill, Providence, and Gethsemane.
Numerous trainings and events have also taken place, including evangelism workshops, Kids Ministry Conferences, and pastoral luncheons. The Valley Region hosted key statewide events like the Pastors Prayer Gathering and the Church Planting Ministry Coaching Workshop, which sold out in Roanoke.
The region also facilitated regular pastor networks with a cumulative average of 60-75 attendees, offering training on topics like church budgeting, pastoral succession, and leadership development. One-on-one church health consultations and mentoring for young pastors have also been prioritized.
Overall, the Valley Region continues to grow through its Gospel partnerships, reflecting the strength of the SBCV’s network and God’s faithfulness in advancing His kingdom.
Therefore let us be for receiving a kingdom that , and thus let us offer to God acceptable , with reverence and awe, for our God is a .

BLESS BLESS
TReaching Your Neighbors
he SBCV is committed to coming alongside local churches to support them in their task of fulfilling the Great Commission. Our team is excited to bring training, resources, and encouragement to those who want to reach their world for Christ through sharing the Gospel.
The SBCV continues to promote The BLESS App (formerly Bless Every Home), which is based on the book B.L.E.S.S. by Dave and Jon Ferguson. This tool remains a key resource for churches to engage their communities with the Gospel. The SBCV updated its website with links and resources to help church members learn how to pray for, listen to, serve, and share Jesus’ story with their neighbors. An online seminar was shared with pastors to introduce these updates. As of now, 185 churches have partnered with the app, leading to over 107,000 homes being adopted for prayer and outreach.
In 2023, the SBCV distributed 500 NAMB Evangelism Kits at Annual Homecoming and across various regions throughout 2024. Around 100 additional Spanish Evangelism Kits were given out during Conferencia Renovados at Swift Creek Baptist Church in Midlothian.
The SBCV has also collaborated with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the Southern Baptist Convention of Texas to create resources for the “Who’s Your One” evangelism strategy. These resources encourage church members to pray for five people and share the Gospel with at least one of them.
In March, the Evangelism Tour and Workshop took place at three different locations, led by JJ Washington, NAMB’s
National Director of Personal Evangelism. Leaders were encouraged to assess the evangelism culture in their churches and received guidance on utilizing evangelism tools. The SBCV also held several state-wide evangelism events, including Youth Evangelism Conference, D-Nows, Fusion Camps, and more, equipping leaders with evangelism resources and training.

The SBCV started the year in prayer. Pastors gathered for Pastor Prayer Gatherings across four locations in Virginia: Roanoke, Woodbridge, Manakin-Sabot, and Yorktown. Nearly 200 pastors came together at each location for more than three hours, engaging in Scripturefed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer, focusing on seeking God’s guidance. Another prayer gathering took place in April at Heritage Church in Winchester with 13 pastors attending, and over 50 Hispanic pastors, along with their wives and church leaders, participated in a similar event at First Baptist Church of Woodbridge.
The North Region hosted a House of Prayer Summit at Jerusalem Baptist Church in Fairfax Station. Dr. Gordon Fort, Senior Ambassador for the International Mission Board, guided pastors and church leaders to pray and equip them to turn their churches into “houses of prayer.” Since February 2023, the SBCV has also been producing Monthly Prayer Videos, which are 90-second clips highlighting three kingdom-focused prayer prompts. These
prioritizing PRAYER
videos are shared on the SBCV website and social media, encouraging churches to engage in corporate prayer. The videos aim to inspire prayer for God’s presence and His work in the church ministries and missions.
Additionally, the PrayVA initiative and website has been relaunched. This platform will provide resources and simple guidance on how individuals can receive prayer, improve their prayer life, and learn how to pray for the Commonwealth of Virginia. These efforts are all part of a broader push to deepen prayer life across SBCV churches.
The prayer ministry helps you and your church prioritize prayer. Find out more by visiting sbcv.org/prayer.
WOMEN’S MINISTRY
The SBCV Women’s Ministry Team focuses on encouraging and equipping women through fellowship and teaching events, resources, and initiatives. The team includes regional representatives, ministry wives, and Hispanic leaders, with support teams for communications, prayer, and compassion ministries.
In January, the Women’s Ministry Planning Retreat brought ministry wives and regional leaders together for prayer and strategic planning. One of the year’s major highlights was the Kelly Minter Women’s Conference and Leadership Training Event, held in March at The Heights Baptist Church. Over 900 women attended, with 168 receiving leadership training from Lifeway and the SBCV team, representing 67 SBCV churches.
In July, a Women’s Ministry Roundtable was held, where 60 leaders gathered to discuss topics like conflict resolution and mentoring. The ministry also stays active online, sharing weekly blogs, inspirational posts, and monthly prayer videos on Facebook and Instagram. These efforts aim to strengthen and connect women in ministry across Virginia.
The Equip Conferences in 2024 began with one held in May at Kempsville Baptist Church, attended by 240 women, including over 40 Hispanic women. The second

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
The SBC of Virginia knows how important this ‘now’ generation is. That is why this year, there were several important events and initiatives to support Kids Ministry and equip leaders across the state. On January 27, the VBSI Celebration Day took place at Swift Creek Baptist Church, providing core training for Vacation Bible School and children’s ministry.
Two major Kids Ministry Conferences followed in March. The first was held in Midlothianon March 2, with 560 participating. This conference featured two Lifeway Kids specialists and over 40 breakout sessions across three ministry tracks: VBS, Children’s Ministry, and Spanish. It attracted 113 churches, including 94 from the SBCV and 19 from other organizations. On March 11, a similar conference was held in Rocky Mount, with 250 in attendance, representing 55 churches.
The E2 Kids tour began in August and continued through September, spanning four locations across the state. The
event focused on encouraging and equipping kids’ ministry leaders, while also promoting ministry networking. A total of 90 participants attended, representing 32 SBCV churches and 6 non-SBCV churches.
In addition to these events, church trainings were provided upon request, with two regions receiving personalized training in 2024.
The SBCV Kids Ministry Team continued to support children’s leaders through regular communication, conference calls, and ongoing training. Resources such as the VBS Prayer Calendar, safety and security materials, and training videos were made available on the SBCV Kids webpage. The Not Alone Podcast also provided valuable discussions on topics like healthy digital habits for families.
The SBCV Children’s Ministry resources church ministries for children from birth through sixth grade. Find out more at sbcv.org/kids.

HEBREWS 13:21, ESV
MEN’S MINISTRY
The SBCV continues to network with Noble Warriors to support and resource Men’s Ministry in churches across Virginia. While we celebrate attendance at larger men’s events like the Noble Man Conferences, pastors are taking a more personal and intentional approach to discipling men. These events and breakout sessions have inspired a closer relational discipleship approach to Men’s Ministry. For example, pastors from First Baptist Church Grottos and First Baptist Church Park Street in Charlottesville have been actively investing in men’s discipleship, with positive results. One pastor used The Christian Man by Patrick Morley as a guide. The results were men walking closer to Jesus and a desire to be with other men. The excitement around men’s discipleship is growing, with plans to provide more events and resources in 2025. First Baptist Church Park Street, Charlottesville and Bethel Baptist Church, Yorktown will be hosting such conferences.
Noble Warriors continues to build deep relationships with pastors across the state through regional gatherings resulting in sweet fellowship and valuable resources for their ministry. Noble Warriors has also walked alongside the individual church and their leaders to help them disciple more effectively. Examples of these contextualized consultations would be Wayne Hills Baptist Church, Waynesboro, Pastor Jamie McClanahan, Pastor Fred Gray, Southside Baptist Church, Suffolk, and Pastor Jeff Noble of North Star Church in Blacksburg. Drawing inspiration from the movie, The Forge, there is enthusiasm about using intergenerational ministry to help seasoned men disciple and mentor younger men.
The overall goal of the ministry is to help men walk closer
with Jesus and to lead well in their families, their church, and their communities. The SBCV, along with Noble Warriors, continue to serve and support churches on this mission.
We work alongside local congregations to assist them in leading men to Jesus. Find out more by visiting sbcv.org/men
HISPANIC MINISTRY No Estamos Solos
The SBC of Virginia Hispanic Ministry is all about strengthening the sense of community among Hispanic pastors and churches while fostering relationships with other Virginia congregations. This year, the ministry is focusing on making sure that churches and pastors know they’re not alone. They are doing this by creating more opportunities for fellowship and support, especially through a team of Hispanic pastors who are helping churches in their regions grow and stay connected.
A new Hispanic Ministry Leaders Team was formed. These five pastors are from the different regions of Virginia. Diego Fernandez from Richmond, Julio Peredo from Roanoke, Jose Mazariego from Dumfries, Carlos Payan from Lynchburg, and Vernig Suarez from Norfolk, are working hard to meet with churches, plan gatherings, and help organize state-wide events. They are the boots on the ground, making sure churches feel supported.
The ministry staff, including Raul Santamaria, John Sharp and Brandon Pickett, work with the team to help with organization of large events, and strengthening communication between Hispanic and English-speaking churches. There is a big push this year to build stronger partnerships between these churches, believing that they are “better together.” The goal is for every Hispanic congregation to have a meaningful relationship with at least one Anglo church.
In terms of communication, the ministry is doing more than ever to stay connected with pastors. They have released another issue of Proclamando, their magazine, and held video meetings and in-person gatherings to keep everyone on the same page.
Conferencia Renovados, which gathered over 500 people this year, is the biggest gathering all year. This annual conference brought churches, families, teens, and children together at Swift Creek Baptist Church in Midlothian for a day of teaching, encouragement, and networking.
Looking ahead, the ministry aims to continue growing unity among the 50-plus Hispanic churches through personal connections, sharing resources, and growing in the grace our Lord Jesus Christ.
NEXTGEN MINISTRY
In 2024, the SBCV organized a series of impactful events designed to inspire and equip students, pastors, and families for ministry and evangelism. One of the highlights of the year was the Youth Evangelism Conference (YEC), held January 12-13 at London Bridge Baptist Church in Virginia Beach. This event drew around 910 participants from 55 churches. Evangelist Ryan Fontenot from RAGE Ministries delivered powerful messages, while worship was led by Liberty Worship
Collective from Liberty University. Attendees also enjoyed entertainment from Christian Hip-Hop artist Tedashii and The Big Game Show. During the conference, 49 students made decisions for salvation, 12 rededicated their lives, and 34 felt called to ministry. These numbers don’t even include the many Gospel conversations that took place after the event.
In February, the Student Pastor & Families Retreat was
held at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia, with 120 attendees from 23 families. The retreat provided student ministry leaders and their families a chance to relax, renew, and network with each other. Pastor Brian Jennings and his wife Emily from Salem Baptist Church in Apex, NC, shared encouragement from the Word, and attendees enjoyed the amenities of the lodge, including a family game night.
June saw the Student Fusion Camp, hosted by Swift Creek Baptist Church in Colonial Heights. This event brought together 160 participants from 13 churches for a week of missions and evangelism training. The theme, Proclaim, based on Romans 10:13, emphasized sharing the Gospel, and three students made decisions to trust Christ during the week. Throughout the camp, students were trained in evangelism using the North American Mission Board’s 3 Circles method and were sent out to serve local churches, schools, and organizations.
In July, the Family Fusion Camp took place at Buckroe Beach, hosted by Fox Hill Road Baptist Church. This camp was attended by 130 participants from 20 families, who partnered in missions. Mike Young of Noble Warriors spoke, encouraging families to build a culture of evangelism and discipleship. Families engaged in mission assignments around the community, from toddlers to grandparents, all focused on sharing the Good News of Jesus.
The SBCV came alongside and offered resources to the following networks for D-Now meetings: Roanoke, Northern Virginia, Colonial Heights, Farmville, Danville, and Bristol. These have happened organically among churches in each region, which has been an answer to prayer!
Looking ahead to 2025, the Youth Evangelism Conference will be held January 17-18 in Virginia Beach, featuring Pastor Mark Turner from Redemption Heights Church, worship led by The Museum, and entertainment from The Skit Guys.
In collegiate ministry, SBCV continues to hold roundtables and coaching sessions, helping churches like Salem Baptist connect with local colleges. The Young Adult Retreat in September brought over 110 participants together for spiritual growth and mission training. A winter retreat is also being considered, with a focus on equipping young adults for everyday workplace evangelism.

mobilizing YOUR CHURCH MISSIONS
Mission Mobilization experienced a dynamic year of global and local engagement for SBC of Virginia churches. The team focuses on connecting local churches with national partners like the International Mission Board, North American Mission Board, and Send Relief to fulfill the Great Commission. Through Partnership Missions and Compassion Ministries, local churches are the primary vessels that God uses for sending and going.
This year has been packed with initiatives. For example, the Together for the Nations: Sub-Saharan Africa event in December 2024 will bring churches together to engage in missions opportunities. In September 2024, a Pastor Vision Tour took place in Newfoundland, exploring partnerships with Mile One Mission church planters. Churches have been actively involved in Puerto Rico, with over 30 partnerships forming and numerous disaster response teams deployed.
Several SBCV churches from across the southwest region are partnering with IMB missionaries in Buenos Aires, Argentina to support local churches in outreach and evangelism and to reach university students with the Gospel. A pastor vision trip and the first partnership trip was taken in 2024 and a new full time missionary from Virginia has gone to join the IMB team.
Caring for missionaries remains a top priority, with multiple Missionary Care initiatives underway. Over 45 IMB missionaries have been connected with SBCV churches for support. Additionally, the SBCV is working with churches on church planting efforts in challenging areas like South Giza, Egypt.
Another key component of Mobilization is Compassion Ministries, such as Fostering Champions, which has completed its first home for teens aging out of foster care. It is now starting work on the second home. English as a
Second Language ministries have made significant strides, with over 65 trained leaders from eight churches helping meet the needs of diverse communities.
Hunger ministry has made a profound impact, feeding over 52,000 people in 2024 alone. Efforts like these reflect the ongoing commitment of SBCV churches to both local and global mission fields, mobilizing to serve communities and share the Gospel in meaningful ways

Reaching the Nations here at home
Virginia’s international diversity isn’t just a mission field—it’s a mission force! With many international partners bringing strong theological and spiritual vitality, God is using them to plant Gospel seeds across the state. In fact, in May 2024, 36 people were baptized at a new Ethiopian SBCV church, celebrating God’s work in an extraordinary way.
Just since last December, four dynamic leaders—Ehab Grace, Philip Amofah, Daniel Tesfasselase, and Mannie Bekele—were officially endorsed by Send Network VA/ SBCV as new church planters. These inspiring individuals, hailing from Egypt, Ghana, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, are proof that immigrant-majority churches are thriving and raising up the next wave of leadership! Pastor Amofah and Pastor Tesfasselase, both products of earlier church plants, are now sending out leaders themselves—multiplying the mission! Ehab Grace has already celebrated the baptism of several Arabic speakers from Muslim backgrounds, and Mannie Bekele is blazing new trails as the first secondgeneration-focused Ethiopian church planter among SBCV churches.
In May, two more Ethiopian leaders, Nemera Roro (Oromo speaker) and Beza Merna (Amharic speaker, were endorsed and attended SBCV orientation. With six more prospective planters—Chinese, Brazilian, and Ethiopian—on track for assessment, the total of international church planters could reach an incredible 13 within just one year!
It’s not just about planting churches—it’s about building vibrant communities. This summer, the SBCV family enjoyed rich fellowship and training. More than 30 Chinese ministry leaders gathered in June for encouragement, while Korean churches, the third-largest language group in SBCV, welcomed Pastor Daniel Ko as their new Korean Church Fellowship Coordinator in August. Small gatherings have already started, and the excitement is building for the first SBCV Korean Fellowship at the Annual Homecoming in November 2024!
New initiatives are kicking off in Southeast and Central Virginia, thanks to the Diaspora Missions Collective. A “Reaching the Nations HERE” event is set for February 2025, sparking a vision to reach our neighbors who are already here.

BRINGING help TO HURTING COMMUNITIES
There were several key activities and accomplishments within SBCV’s Disaster Relief efforts. A major initiative in 2024 was the reestablishment of international deployment capabilities. Four volunteers underwent Disaster Assessment Rapid Team (DART) training and formed a steering committee aimed at recruiting, training, and deploying volunteers to Central America, with a planned visit in 2025.
Domestically, coordinators engaged in national disaster relief training through the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR) Roundtable, alongside our SBC partner organization, Send Relief. SBCV churches contributed significantly, providing 1,752 meals, logging 1,893 volunteer hours, distributing 33 Bibles, and making 146 personal contacts. Through combined efforts with other partners, they helped provide over 324,000 meals, shared the Gospel nearly 30,000 times, and witnessed 6,798 professions of faith!
The third annual Disaster Relief Round-Up event was held, featuring updates on 2023 activities and a preview
of upcoming international training. Herbert Hamlett was awarded the inaugural Disaster Relief Legacy Award for his more than 30 years of service.
Training remained a priority, with 85 volunteers receiving basic training, including 62 newcomers. Additional advanced training brought the total to 120 trained volunteers for 2024. Teams also deployed to disasteraffected areas, including a December deployment to Maui to assist wildfire survivors. They also continued their longterm work in Rose Hill, North Carolina, helping to rebuild after Hurricane Florence, and in Elkhart, Indiana, following a tornado.
Additionally, more than 800 hours were dedicated by volunteers maintaining disaster relief equipment, ensuring readiness for deployments and supporting various organizations and outreach events throughout the year.

In just the space of two weeks this fall, the southeast United States was hit with not one, but two hurricanes – Helene and Milton. In the wake of these disasters, teams of dedicated Disaster Relief (DR) volunteers have been working tirelessly in Virginia and North Carolina to support affected communities as well as bring hope and practical aid to those in need.
In Virginia, a small team arrived within just 72 hours of the disaster, immediately setting out to assess the damage, meet with local emergency managers, and secure housing for incoming volunteers. Shortly after, a group of four volunteers established a Disaster Relief operations center at Fellowship Baptist Church. There, they prepared facilities for sleeping, feeding, and organizing requests for assistance. Within 10 days, the center began receiving Disaster Relief “mud-out” teams, with 25 volunteers actively serving by October 7th.
These teams made an immediate impact, providing approximately 1,000 meals to residents who couldn’t reach mass feeding sites. They also delivered clothing, hygiene items, and food to seven families who were displaced and had relocated to a nearby hotel. The volunteers began providing these families with hot meals.
The team also completed several mud-out jobs, including one for a 91-year-old widow whose basement was flooded. Her story was particularly moving, as she had recently lost both her son and daughter. Volunteers spent an entire day cleaning out her basement, hauling buckets of mud through her home, and sanitizing the space. Another job involved helping a young family by gutting their flooded home and clearing out their crawl space, removing compacted mud and soggy insulation.
In North Carolina, as the Virginia operations stabilized, the Incident Management Team (IMT) moved to Weaverville, NC, to respond to Hurricane Helene. Over several days, they worked long hours to set up a new DR operations center, where they coordinated mud-out, debris removal, and volunteer feeding. As of this writing, they processed 31 work requests, completed 22 assessments, and finished 13 jobs, with one still in progress.
Through long days and hard work, these volunteers continue to bring light to the lives of those impacted by these disasters. Both in Virginia and North Carolina, their efforts are making a tangible difference, as communities rebuild with the support of these tireless teams.
And he said to them, but the laborers are few. Therefore to the Lord of the harvest laborers into his harvest.”

Churches planting Churches
Women’s Ministry
2024 has been a remarkable year of growth for church planting efforts across Virginia and beyond. More churches are taking responsibility for starting new congregations, driven by a vision of multiplication.
Parkway Baptist Church in Moseley stands as a prime example, having sent out four church planters in the past five years. Each planter was raised, trained, and supported within Parkway, creating a dynamic of internal church planting that is spreading across the state.
Virginia is seeing more Gospel work in both rural and urban areas, with a new emphasis on sending planters to hard-toreach places. One significant example is Garden City Church in Chicago, planted by Sam and Emily Copeland, sent out by Cave Spring Baptist Church in Roanoke.
International church planting has also seen incredible growth. In Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., Nations Church, led by Greg Gibson, is reaching a diverse population. The church was born out of Greg’s original plans to plant in Ukraine, but after those plans were paused due to the war, Nations Church took root in the DC area with a vision for global impact. Just months after launching in early 2024, Nations Church sent its first missionary to Poland, demonstrating its commitment to making disciples both locally and globally.
The SBCV is witnessing a powerful movement of international church planters. Leaders from countries such as Egypt, Ghana, Eritrea, and Ethiopia are planting new churches in Virginia, with several planters already baptizing new believers. The momentum is strong, with six more prospective planters—representing Chinese, Brazilian, and Ethiopian communities— currently being assessed. This diverse, international focus is also reflected in SBCV fellowships, such as the Korean and Chinese ministry gatherings, which
are fostering deeper connections among leaders and communities.
Hispanic church planting is also thriving through initiatives like the Bible Training Center for Pastors and Leaders (BTCPL), which operates in multiple cities across Virginia. The Hispanic church planting movement has seen 38 new leaders trained this year, and these efforts continue to expand as new centers and training programs launch.
Additionally, new initiatives are emerging to reach international communities in Southeast and Central Virginia. A partnership between the SBCV, IMB, and NAMB, known as the Diaspora Missions Collective, will launch in early 2025 to better engage international neighbors and help local churches embrace their mission fields.
There is so much excitement and momentum surrounding church planting in Virginia, highlighting how churches are multiplying, international communities are being reached, and new leaders are being developed to continue the work of spreading the Gospel across the state and beyond.

Refocus brings new life
The main component of the SBCV’s Revitalization ministry is found in the cohort of pastors. In January 2024, a new cohort of pastors and churches began a two-year revitalization journey. This cohort process involves a six-month assessment phase, followed by customized interventions for each church to address specific challenges, such as creating visitation teams, expanding Sunday School classes, adding children’s programs, and planning for sanctuary expansions or debt reduction.
One important strategy introduced is church partnerships, where two churches collaborate over a twoyear period. The partnership focuses on mutual trust and support, with objectives like improving spiritual health, updating church bylaws, and strengthening discipleship and community outreach. While several churches have offered to partner, such as LibertyLive Church in Hampton and Franklin Heights Church in Rocky Mount, suitable matches have yet to materialize. The next six months will be key for forming these partnerships.
A new initiative, Next Steps Consulting, was also launched in 2024 to assist churches that don’t need traditional revitalization but can benefit from consulting
services as they grow or face structural changes. Currently, Kingsland Baptist Church in North Chesterfield is piloting this program, and its success may lead to wider implementation.
Replanting for churches that cannot achieve revitalization after two years of effort is a viable option. Rather than closing, these churches may be replanted with the help of the SBC of Virginia’s church planting team.
Lastly, the success of the Small Town/Rural Church Pastor and Leaders Workshop has led to at least five new prospects for future cohorts, with plans for similar events in other regions of Virginia to encourage more churches to join the revitalization effort in 2025.

Communicating through MEDIA
The Media Resources team is actively supporting churches through consultation, helping them with best practices, tips, and equipment for managing daily operations and services. They also provide extensive event coverage for key gatherings such as the Youth Evangelism Conference, Pastors’ Prayer Gathering, and Equip Women’s Conferences, among others. Each event receives online and print promotions, with some featuring video and photo documentation available for viewing on SBCV’s website.
This year, the media team produced more than 75 video projects. A few of these church partnership stories include feeding ministries, pregnancy support centers, and foster care for the Vision Virginia State Missions Offering as well as church planting impact in Madison Heights and Virginia Beach.
The team also continues to publish the Proclaimer magazine, with three issues available in print and online. Proclamando, the Spanish-language magazine is also produced twice a year in a digital format.
Custom booklets were produced for participants at the Student Fusion Mission Camp, Family Fusion Mission Camp, and Kids Ministry Conference. 52 Sundays, monthly mission projects, and even this Ministry Report are other examples of how your SBCV media team is designing and producing resources to be used by the local church.
The team keeps churches informed through mass emails that offer updates on resources and upcoming opportunities. Their work has contributed to increased engagement with the SBCV website, which has seen over 305,000 pageviews and 39,006 searches between January and September 2024.
Strategic Initiatives
In 2024, several initiatives were undertaken to support ministries which support local churches across Virginia. A significant effort was made to connect with pregnancy centers, including a $10,000 grant provided to the Martinsville Pregnancy Center. This grant, in partnership with the Psalm 139 ministry, enabled the center to purchase a new ultrasound machine. Additionally, ongoing work is happening with other centers, such as the Pathways Pregnancy Center in Bristol, to determine the best ways to meet their needs, with potential partners being sought to assist.
The Family Foundation of Virginia continues to be a key focus, with co-sponsorship of their annual fundraising gala and efforts to connect pastors and churches through the Church Ambassador Network. A full-page article was published in the Proclaimer to highlight the importance of prayer and engagement ahead of the upcoming elections. Media support continues to be provided for the Family Foundation as needed.
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) national summit held this summer opened the door to new connections and relationships with ADF and other national organizations. This partnership is a vital resource for pastors and local churches, offering
services like document auditing and legal representation. Plans are underway for a state-wide conference in 2025 in collaboration with ADF, aimed at educating ministries on how to navigate cultural and legal issues through a Gospelcentered lens.
Efforts with the Virginia Deaf Network are also progressing. Working closely with John Wyble, connections are being strengthened with existing deaf ministries while identifying potential new locations in need of such services. John is actively encouraging deaf pastors and networking with potential church planters to expand support for this community.
These initiatives reflect a dedicated commitment to providing resources and building strong partnerships that empower ministries across the state.

But he said to them, I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for for this purpose.”

A PRAYER for the SBC OF VIRGINIA
Theology not just techniques.
We pray the SBC of Virginia will never forget that it was theology that originally led to our founding. Techniques and methodology vary between our churches and church plants. However, we can and we must consciously and constantly remember that one of the reasons we have joined together is our commitment to the inerrancy and authority of Scripture.
We are more than a convention, we are a coalition of churches.
As a state convention, we might think of our annual meetings as gatherings. But we are a coalition of churches that joined together in the spiritual battle for souls that will spend eternity in either heaven or hell. We must not grow weary in our work as we serve together.
Church pastors and church planters are on the same team.
In 2 Thessalonians 3:1, the Apostle Paul asked believers to “pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored…” Let’s pray for one another, let’s encourage one another, let’s sharpen one another.
Our allegiance must be to the Lord Jesus and His Gospel.
From our seminaries to our missionaries, our partnership for the Gospel has been fruitful. As churches give through the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program, we support a global missions force. Thousands are serving and more are needed.
We
pray pastors will not be lone rangers.
Our final prayer is that our local church pastors will realize they are not alone in ministry.
The Gospel task is huge. Our God is able.
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV)
