2013 Book of Reports

Thank you to the over 600 churches that form the mission partnership known as the SBC of Virginia. This annual

report to our churches contains necessary information like financial reports and official documents. But, more than simply an organizational report, what you hold in your hands helps tell the story of strengthening, mobilizing, and planting churches. It is my sincere hope that the SBC of Virginia will be a partnership of “strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission.”

As we report on this year of ministry and prepare for the ministry opportunities before us, I’d like to share with you three guiding values for us to keep in mind.

THE TRUTH. This convention and partnership of churches was founded upon a fundamental belief in the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. We are a confessional fellowship of churches that agree with a statement of faith known as The Baptist Faith and Message 2000. We are committed to searching Scripture, standing on Scripture, and submitting to Scripture as God’s Truth. More than ever, we must encourage one another to “contend for the faith that was once and for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).

STRONG CHURCHES WITH A BOLD COMMITMENT TO THE GREAT COMMISSION!

THE TASK. The Lord Jesus has called every Christian and every church to obey the Great Commission. We trust in the Lord’s promise to empower His people as we work together to fulfill Christ’s mission. I pray the Lord will lead our churches to an even bolder commitment of resources to reach our neighbors, the nations, and all generations. We are His mission force, and this is our mission field!

THE TEAM. Over the past year as I have traveled this mission field, I have seen that SBC of Virginia churches are united in the Truth and the Task. May we work together as one team, encouraging one another in this great Gospel ministry. Our Lord Jesus prayed, “The glory that You have given Me I have given them, that they may be one even as we are one” (John 17:22). May we stand together, serve together, and send together for His glory.

MINUTES OF THE 2012 ANNUAL HOMECOMING

SUNDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 2012

MINUTES

The session began at 6:30 PM. Rev. Jeff Askew, worship pastor of Liberty

Baptist Church (Hampton), and the host church choir, worship team, and orchestra led in worship with the songs, Today Is the Day and All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.

President Randall T. Hahn welcomed the convention and thanked the Liberty Baptist Church family for hosting the SBC of Virginia Annual Homecoming. Hahn reminded the convention that we live in challenging times, but we are committed to sharing the Gospel. Hahn introduced the host pastor, Dr. Grant Ethridge.

Ethridge expressed gratitude for the opportunity to host the convention in the church’s new building. Ethridge recognized the Maltempis and their son Jonny, who has a brain tumor [Steve Maltempi is SBCV’s Student Ministry strategist]. Ethridge led in prayer for the meeting and for the Maltempi family.

A video was shown of baptisms at various SBC of Virginia churches.

Reverend Steve Bradshaw, Church Strengthening Team leader and regional

missionary (Central-East), noted that SBCV churches baptized 6,785 people in 2011. Bradshaw presented The Pentecost Awards for Baptisms to Liberty Baptist Church (Hampton) for the highest number of baptisms in 2011 (Pastor Grant Ethridge receiving) and Geneva Park Baptist Church (Chesapeake) for the highest number of baptisms per capita in 2011 (Pastor Mike Ellis receiving). Bradshaw explained that Geneva Park has since merged with Bethany Baptist Church (Portsmouth), where Ellis is now serving.

Bradshaw explained that the North American Mission Board’s God’s Plan for Sharing (GPS) focus for 2012 was attractional events. Many SBC of Virginia churches participated in five regional FinditHere.com races to reach people for Christ. A video about the races was shown. Nearly 20,000 attended the races that were sponsored by the SBCV and SBCV churches. There were 277 volunteers from SBCV churches that participated. Over 1,000 race fans heard the Gospel presentation personally or received the Gospel in the form of a Bible.

Bradshaw invited to the platform Rev. John Pouchot, pastor of Poquoson Baptist Church (Poquoson), who helped at the Langley Motor Speedway race in Hampton. Pouchot explained that many were asking what the “it” in FinditHere.com stood for. A young man had the opportunity to share the Gospel over the microphone at the race. Pouchot and his church decided to get involved in the race to reach their local community. One of Poquoson’s volunteers had never shared the Gospel before but had the opportunity to do so in the FinditHere.com tent, and her life has been changed. Bradshaw noted that six people

TRANSFORMING THE WORLDLIBERTY BAPTIST CHURCH, HAMPTON, VANOVEMBER 11 – 13, 2012

PG 10

accepted Christ through these races, one of whom is a racecar driver. Pouchot encouraged the convention to get involved where God is at work in local communities.

Bradshaw explained that the FinditHere.com races started in Virginia, and the North American Mission Board has picked up the idea for other states to use as well. Rev. Brandon Pickett, SBCV’s director of communications and vice president of Innovative Faith Resources, explained how Dr. Doyle Chauncey, president of the SBC of Virginia Foundation, heard about NASCAR driver Blake Koch. A clip from a Fox News interview with Koch was shown. Koch lost his sponsor after he produced a commercial to encourage people to vote and ESPN felt it had political and religious overtones.

Pickett interviewed Koch on the platform, who talked about sharing his faith in the racing community and the opportunities he and other Christian drivers have to share Christ. Koch asked for prayer for sponsors and for opportunities to share the Gospel. Pickett led in prayer for Koch.

Liberty Baptist Church’s Worship Ministry led in worship with the song, Let the Praises Ring. The choir and orchestra then sang, Not Unto Us.

Dr. Brian Autry, SBCV’s executive director, gave thanks for the music shared and noted that we are here for one united reason—to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. Autry welcomed the convention and thanked the host church. Autry noted that he began serving as executive director six months ago. His introduction to the SBCV was as a college student, where he understood that the SBCV was standing on the Word of God. He has benefited from the cooperative partnership of SBC churches through seminary and in planting a church. He reminded the convention that the SBC of Virginia is a cooperative partnership of Gospel-minded churches, and he quoted Philippians 1:3-6. Autry noted the challenges and concerns facing our country and the world. He mentioned the historic meeting between Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt where they established the Atlantic Charter, a partnership to protect freedom around the world (now known as NATO). We are in a spiritual battle now, and the world needs transformation just like it did then. We are a partnership the Lord is using to speak the truth and set people free in Christ. Our agenda is to be a coalition of strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission. He then shared 1 Thessalonians 2:2b-4. Our confidence is in God’s power, and our commitment is to God’s truth, His holy Word. In Acts 17:6b, we are

told that the believers “turned the world upside down.” That’s what we’re called to do. Autry gave thanks for those who have served the United States and said that we are called to do the same with the Gospel of Christ. Autry said that Churchill and Roosevelt concluded their meeting with the song, Onward Christian Soldiers, which Autry quoted. We are called to fight the good fight. Autry’s prayer is that SBCV churches will be strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission.


The Liberty Baptist Church Worship Ministry led worship with the song, 10,000 Reasons. They then sang, Midnight Cry.

Grant Ethridge introduced keynote speaker Rev. David Miller, evangelist and founder of Line Upon Line Ministries, and led in prayer for him. Miller shared a message entitled, “Regeneration,” from 1 Peter 1:1-5.

Rev. Jack Noble, regional missionary (Southside) and Disaster Relief director, shared several announcements then welcomed Rev. Eric Ashley, pastor/church planter of BridgePoint Church (Gloucester), to the platform. Ashley led in a closing prayer at 8:35 PM.

MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 2012Brandon Pickett welcomed the convention at 9:00 AM. Jeff Askew led in worship with the songs, Mercy Song and Jesus Messiah.


President Randall T. Hahn mentioned that several SBC seminaries were represented

PG 11

Steve Bradshaw directed attendees to the Annual Homecoming Program Guide to review the list of breakout sessions available. He then made several announcements before dismissing the convention to breakout sessions.

Brian Autry thanked Sounds of Liberty and welcomed the convention to the session. He then invited Dr. Maurice McCarthy, interim pastor of Westwood Baptist Church (Waynesboro), to the platform. McCarthy introduced Dr. Timothy A. Hight, pastor of GraceLife Baptist Church (Christiansburg), and prayed for him. Hight gave the theme introduction for Transforming the World, based on Mark 16:15. He encouraged believers to live out the power of the Gospel and not be content with what they’ve already done.

President Randall T. Hahn called the meeting to order and introduced GySgt Josh Nordurft, who led in prayer. Hahn announced that there were 350 messengers and 99 guests so far.

He asked members of the churches to stand as their church names were read. (see “Churches Requesting Affiliation” to the right)

Hahn reminded the convention that the motion did not need a second since it was coming from a committee. He asked for questions, and there were none. Hahn called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of the motion.

Sounds of Liberty led in worship with the songs, Everlasting God and Our God.

Scott Bullman, director of Sounds of Liberty, gave thanks for the Sounds of Liberty team and reminded the convention that God is in control in all circumstances. Sounds of Liberty then sang, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

Brandon Pickett thanked Sounds of Liberty and introduced the first part of a video story about church planter Clint Clifton. The video shared how Clifton came to Christ as a teenager and was discipled and mentored by Rev. Dannie Williams in Florida. God gave Clifton a heart for church planting, and he ended up in Virginia for his education. After the video, Pickett encouraged attendees to come to future sessions to hear more of the story.

Pickett then interviewed Dannie Williams about how he mentored a group of young men, out of which Clifton came. Williams shared how burdened he had been when he realized how few evangelic churches were on A1A in Palm Coast, FL. The Lord led his church and several others to plant there. Williams shared that you can’t explain it on paper—how to afford to plant a church—but when you step out on faith, the Lord provides.

Hahn thanked Williams for his words of encouragement about church planting. He also noted that the convention would have a break coming up for the purpose of networking and partnership opportunities.

Hahn welcomed Brian Autry and Rev. Eddie Urbine, SBCV’s treasurer and director of Ministry Support, to the platform. Hahn thanked former executive director and treasurer, Dr. Doyle Chauncey, for his years of service. The convention stood in applause. Autry introduced Urbine to give the Treasurer’s Report. Urbine noted that our Cooperative Program gifts were down last year by $6,000 (from 2010). We have just closed the books for October, and Cooperative Program giving is at $7,365,785, which is 1.3% ahead of last year. SBCV churches have now given over $105 million to the Cooperative Program since the inception of the SBCV. Urbine gave thanks for both Doyle and Sharon Chauncey and all of their help in his transition into the role of treasurer.

Autry expressed thanks for Urbine and asked for a round of applause to show the convention’s commitment to pray for him. The convention applauded in response. Autry introduced a video greeting from the current SBC president, Dr. Fred Luter. Luter encouraged all SBC churches to give 1% more, which could make a significant eternal impact with the Gospel.

Autry recalled how he served on SBCV’s Vision 20/20 Task Force several years ago. That task force recommended that we, as a convention, give 0.25% more each year to the SBC. At the time, it didn’t seem like it would make much of a difference. Autry explained that he has since learned it does make a large difference. Autry encouraged SBCV churches to accept Luter’s challenge. The budget the Executive Board will recommend to the convention for adoption moves our investment to SBC causes from 50.75% to 51%. Investments in Virginia will be 49%. Autry gave thanks for our SBCV forefathers who had the faith to be pacesetters for other state conventions in terms of generosity. Autry noted that many Southern Baptists today do not understand or appreciate the Cooperative Program, which is the backbone of our cooperative partnership. The Cooperative Program = cooperative partnership. The ministries of the SBC exist because of CP giving—they receive the following percentages of all that is forwarded to the SBC:

IMB—50.2%NAMB—22.8%Theological Education Ministries—22.2%Other SBC Ministries—4.8%

Autry noted that we don’t appoint IMB missionaries if the applicants have debt (including school debt). When churches give to the CP, our students at SBC

PG 15

seminaries automatically receive a 50% reduction in tuition, which helps pave the way for them to become missionaries, pastors, etc.

Autry explained that the SBCV budget is broken down in the following way:

Church Planting—36.9%Church Strengthening and Mobilization—30.6%Ministry Support—16.5%Communications & Convention Relations—16%

Autry reminded the convention of the spiritual battle that is church planting and asked churches to pray for church plants. Autry noted that CP dollars have also gone to support efforts to the storm victims of Hurricane Sandy. The phrase “Ministry Support” relates to how we come alongside and support SBCV churches in their work. For example, Church Ministry Services (CMS), which provides financial services for church plants and small churches, falls under the “Ministry Support” category. Autry gave thanks for SBCV’s Media Team, which God has provided for communications and convention relations. The SBCV Foundation is also helping churches leave a financial legacy for future generations.

Autry asked for prayerful consideration of the 2013 Ministry Investment Plan. Hahn read the Executive Board’s recommendation, found on page 51 of the Book of Reports:

MOTION

The Executive Board recommends to messengers in the 2012 Annual Homecoming that the Proposed 2013 Cooperative Program Ministry Investment Plan in the amount of $9,000,000 be adopted.

Hahn noted that the vote would take place the next morning and that Urbine would be available in room 106 during the upcoming break to answer any questions regarding the Ministry Investment Plan.

Hahn dismissed the convention for a 20-minute break.

Sounds of Liberty resumed the meeting by singing, Power in the Blood. They then led in worship with the songs, Your Grace Is Enough and Forever Reign.


Brandon Pickett introduced the second chapter of a video series about Clint Clifton. The video shared how Clifton came to meet and serve with Rev. Bill Jessup at Stafford Baptist Church (Stafford). The church had a heart for church planting, and the Lord led Stafford and the Cliftons to plant in Northern Virginia. SBCV partnered with the church to plant Pillar Church of Dumfries. The Lord has given the church plant a heart to train others to go out and plant more churches.

Rev. Ken Nienke, pastor of Fellowship Community Church (Salem), introduced and prayed for keynote speaker Rev. Ellis Prince, lead and teaching pastor of The Gallery Church in Baltimore, MD. Prince thanked SBCV Disaster Relief workers who were serving in his home state of Maryland in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Prince preached a message from John 17:20-25, Matthew 16:26, Proverbs 4, Galatians 5:14-26, and Romans 12 entitled, “The Cost Is Unity.” He then led in prayer.

Hahn thanked Prince for the challenge he gave to the convention to truly make disciples. Hahn noted that there would be an installation service that night for SBCV’s new executive director, Dr. Brian Autry.

Rev. Shawn Ames, regional missionary (Central-West), shared a few announcements and introduced Rev. John Wyble, pastor/church planter of Living Word Deaf Church (Forest) and SBCV catalytic church planter. Wyble closed the session in prayer through sign language as his wife translated for him.

A church planters’ dinner and a women’s dinner were held at 4:45 PM after the session.

MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 2012The session began at 6:45 PM. Sounds of Liberty led in worship with the songs, Victory in Jesus and The Saving One.

PG 16

Hahn thanked Sounds of Liberty and the Worship Ministry of Liberty Baptist Church. He then introduced Dr. Kelly Burris, pastor of Kempsville Baptist Church (Virginia Beach) and chairman of the Executive Director Search Committee.

Burris expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve the Lord and serve the SBCV. He is grateful for how the Lord used SBCV’s former leaders: Doyle Chauncey, Geoff Hammond, and Jeff Ginn. Burris shared what a privilege it had been to serve with the Executive Director Search Committee. He asked the members of the committee to stand if present: Rick Caldwell (Concord-Farmille), Neal Hawks (Pioneer-Max Meadows), Cliff Jordan (Movement-Richmond), Drew Landry (Spotswood-Fredericksburg), Vanessa Ross (Reservoir-Yorktown), and Teresa Sours (Wayne Hills-Waynesboro).

Burris read from the Book of 1 Samuel and explained how the committee prayed for God’s man. They focused on a profile without anyone in mind and narrowed down their prospects to seven. Then they narrowed those down to three, but one quickly rose to the top. Burris shared about Autry’s education

and experience in various churches. Autry planted a church with 40 people that now averages over 1,000. The search committee unanimously recommended Autry to the Executive Board in October, and the board unanimously elected him as executive director. Video greetings from Dr. Kevin Ezell (president of the North American Mission Board), Dr. Tom Elliff (president of the International Mission Board), and Dr. Jeff Ginn (former executive director and now pastor of Istrouma Baptist Church (Baton Rouge, LA)) were shown.

Rev. Derek Futrell, pastor of worship and missions at the church Autry planted (Parkway Baptist Church (Moseley)), shared a few words of gratitude for his friendship with Autry. He then sang, The End of the Beginning.

A video was shown interviewing Brian and Jennifer Autry—about their family, their ministry experience, and their heart for SBCV. Brandon Pickett asked the Autry family to stand, and the convention applauded in gratitude and support. Former SBCV presidents Dr. Tim Hight, Dr. Kelly Burris, Dr. Tim Piland, and Dr. Mark Becton came to the platform, and Autry washed their feet to honor their service.

Burris invited Autry’s family to the platform and called upon the former presidents to lay hands upon them. Doyle Chauncey led in prayer for the Autry family and for the SBCV.

Pickett invited Rev. Mark Custalow, Church Planting Team leader, to the platform, who introduced the next chapter of the Clint Clifton video story. The video highlighted Pillar Church’s desire not to be a mega church but to continue planting churches. One church Pillar has recently planted is at Quantico, reaching Marines for Christ.

After the video, Custalow recognized that SBCV churches commit each year to sponsor new church plants. He explained that the churches that have done so in 2012 have received Eagle Award plaques in their local church settings. Rev. Ron Kidd (church planting strategist) and Rev. Chris Dowd (associate church planting

strategist) read the names of those sponsoring churches, their pastors, the church plants, and their planters. The planters and sponsoring church pastors came to the platform as their names were read. (see “Sponsoring Churches & Church Plants” to the left)

Kidd and Dowd also read the names of church planting apprentices that were approved in 2012. (see “Approved Church Planting Apprentices” above)

Dowd also noted that Miguel Davilla’s sponsor church is out of state (Second Baptist, Springfield, MO), so he does not show on the list, but he will be planting Hampton Roads Fellowship in Hampton. Dowd then led in prayer for the church plants.

Sounds of Liberty and combined choirs from Liberty Baptist Church (Hampton) and Bethel Baptist Church (Yorktown) sang, I Will Not Be Shaken. They then led in worship with the song, O God, Our Help in Ages Past.

Pickett introduced the next chapter of the Clint Clifton video story. The video focused on the Praetorian Project that Pillar Church has begun, which seeks to plant a church on every Marine base to reach military families, whose needs are unique. Pillar is seeking 100 churches to help fund these churches.

Brian Autry, Clint Clifton, and a US Marine came to the platform. Autry encouraged SBCV churches to commit to the Praetorian Project. Church pastors began coming to the front, committing their churches to this initiative. Autry thanked those churches and asked Hahn to lead in prayer that more churches would do the same. Hahn followed in prayer and Autry asked the pastors who came forward to talk to Clifton or Custalow. [As of 12/31/12, $19,977.75 was received for the Praetorian Project.]

Autry shared that Clint Clifton had recently been selected to

be the North American Mission Board’s Send DC coordinator for church planting in the Greater Metro Washington, DC area. The nations are coming to our nation’s capital, and we are called to reach them with the Gospel. Autry asked Clifton how the convention could pray for him. Clifton noted that it’s going to take many churches working together. Some of the major difficulties are the cost of living and the diversity of the people. Although the challenges can seem endless, Clifton encouraged SBCV churches to pool their resources and support planting in DC. Autry asked those who would commit to pray for Clifton and for reaching DC for Christ to stand. Autry then led in prayer.

Pastor Milton Harding, pastor of congregational care at Centreville Baptist Church (Centreville), introduced and prayed for keynote speaker Dr. Michael Catt, pastor of Sherwood Hills Baptist Church in Albany, GA. Catt committed his church to help with the Praetorian Project as well. He then shared a message from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13, entitled, “The Battle That Must Be Won,” and led in prayer.

Dr. Don Cockes, regional missionary (Valley), shared several announcements. Rev. Roy Garza, senior pastor/church planter of Pillar Church (Stafford), closed the session in prayer at 9:20 PM.

A reception was then held in the foyer in honor of Dr. Autry’s installation as executive director.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 2012

The session began at 8:55 AM with Sounds of Liberty singing, Again I Say Rejoice. They then led in worship with the songs, Sing to the King and Glorious Day.


1st Vice President Dr. Danny Campbell (pastor of Wayne Hills Baptist Church (Waynesboro)) welcomed the convention and introduced Dr. David Adams, director of Pastoral Leadership at Liberty University. Adams emphasized the need for local churches to train and equip those who will later become pastors. He encouraged the convention to pray for people to follow the Lord in pastoral ministry. Adams then led in prayer.

Video greetings were shown from the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the North American Mission Board, and the SBC Executive Committee. General T.C. Pinckney, editor of The Baptist Banner, gave an oral report from the Banner. He then announced that The Banner Award would be given to Ms. D.J.

Coulson (not present) for handling the finances for the Banner at the SBCV. Rev. Cal Wallace, chairman of the Banner’s Nominating Committee, presented the following names for the Banner’s board of trustees:

Carroll Hamilton (Spotswood Baptist Church, Fredericksburg)

Brent Vickery (Ramoth Baptist Church, Stafford)

Pinckney called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of the nominees.

President Hahn called the meeting to order. He also announced that former SBCV pastor Chip Roberson had passed away and there would be a service at Bethel Baptist Church in Chesapeake that weekend.

Hahn noted that the exhibit hall would be closing at 1:30 PM. He encouraged attendees to sign up for the drawing for a mission trip scholarship. He also noted that there would be two SBCV camps for youth in the summer of 2013 and that the one in Richmond would be a mission camp and would have a lower cost.

He announced that there were 394 messengers and 116 guests registered so far, for a total of 510.

Hahn introduced Rev. Wendell Horton, chairman of the Executive Board (pastor of Sky View Missionary Baptist Church (Fancy Gap)), who directed the messengers to the Proposed 2013 Ministry Investment Plan (MIP) on pages 49-51 of the Book of Reports. He reminded them that the MIP had been presented by Brian Autry during the Monday afternoon session and there had been a time for questions with Eddie Urbine as well. Horton read the motion from page 51 of the Book of Reports:

PG 19

MOTIONThe Executive Board recommends to messengers in the 2012 Annual Homecoming that the Proposed 2013 Cooperative Program Ministry Investment Plan in the amount of $9,000,000 be adopted.

H a h n n o te d t h a t s i n ce t h e recommendation was coming from the Executive Board, it did not need a second. He asked for questions, and there were none. Hahn called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of the motion.

Hahn introduced the chairman of the Resolutions Committee, Rev. Curtis Barnes, pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church (Colonial Heights). Barnes read resolution 1:

Resolution 1

WHEREAS, The 2012 Annual Homecoming of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia has been a time of edification, encouragement, and equipping; and

WHEREAS, We recognize that an event of this magnitude requires diligent preparation and planning; and

WHEREAS, We acknowledge the warm and gracious hospitality of Grant Ethridge and the people of Liberty Baptist Church; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia meeting in Hampton, VA, November 11-13, 2012, express heartfelt gratitude to the Lord and to all those He has used to bring about an Annual Homecoming characterized by a wonderful spirit of unity and cooperation focused on the Great Commission.

Hahn asked for questions, and there

were none. He called for a vote, which was unanimous, and the resolution was adopted.

Barnes read resolution 2:

Resolution 2

WHEREAS, The members of the United States Armed Forces give of themselves courageously from love of country and devotion to duty to the extent that ‘All gave some and some gave all;’ and

WHEREAS, said service members frequently see far less reward or expressions of thanksgiving and appreciation than their actions merit; and

WHEREAS, we recognize the sacrifices made by the families of our service men and women are commensurate with that of the soldiers themselves; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia hold them in the highest esteem for their sacrifice and service inasmuch as they have allowed themselves to be instruments of God’s goodness in securing our freedom of worship and conscience.

Hahn asked for questions, and there were none. He called for a vote, which was unanimous, and the resolution was adopted.

Barnes read resolution 3:

Resolution 3

WHEREAS, The election of November 6, 2012 has served as a reminder that God is the one who holds the keys and hearts of Kings, it is recognized historically that spiritual awakening has come in similar periods as the result of unified, explicit, extraordinary prayer on the part of all God’s people and acknowledging that prayer is indeed our greatest need and most powerful resource; and

WHEREAS, We affirm our Baptist heritage as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention messengers in June 1980 that

“The Kingdom of God is above all, to influence all in terms of the eternal and sovereign will of God and that in terms of 1 Timothy 2:1-5 that the church is always to pray for all peoples and especially for civil authorities;” and

WHEREAS, The 2012 Annual Homecoming has emphasized the changing demographics and culture of our nation and increasing opportunities for sharing the Gospel by fulfilling the Great Commission; therefore, be it

MINUTES

PG 20

RESOLVED, That the churches of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia pray regularly and consistently for spiritual awakening in our homes, churches, and communities and for our elected leaders at the local, state, and national level; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia view the changes in our nation as a providential missiological opportunity by maintaining a focus, passion, and intentionality on sharing the Gospel through Great Commission initiatives.

Pastor Ted Kostich of Thompsontown Baptist Church (Thompsontown, PA) asked for the first slide to be shown again. He then suggested that the first line could sound, to those outside our network, like the churches of the SBCV were criticizing the outcome of the election. He suggested removing the words,

“the election of November 6, 2012 has served as a reminder that.” Barnes explained that the committee only intended to mean that, because of the election, we have noticed changing demographics in our country. Hahn asked if Kostich was making a motion to change the resolution’s wording.

MOTION (BUT WITHDRAWN BEFORE COMING TO A VOTE)

Kostich made a motion to omit the words, “the election of November 6, 2012 has served as a reminder that.”

There was a second to the motion. Hahn asked for questions.

Rev. Pete Hypes, pastor of Bermuda Baptist Church (Chester), suggested that the wording be changed to say, “Current events,” rather than, “The election of November 6, 2012.” Kostich withdrew his motion and deferred to Hypes for his suggestion.

MOTION (BUT NOT BROUGHT TO A VOTE)

Hypes made a motion that the wording be changed to say, “Based on current events, they have served as a reminder.”

There was a second to the motion.

Dr. Rob Edwards, pastor of New Bridge Baptist Church (Sandston), spoke against the motion to change the wording, stating that the original resolution simply spoke of the need to pray, no matter who the president is.

Rev. Scott Quinn, pastor of Good Hope Baptist Church (Spotsylvania) also spoke against the motion to change the wording. He quoted 1 Timothy 2 and noted that SBCV should not be concerned about what the culture would think of the resolution. Quinn stated that he believed the original resolution was clear and carried the correct understanding and meaning.

Mr. Bill Snead, messenger from Grace Southern Baptist Church (Virgilina), spoke against the motion but said he believed the wording should be changed to avoid being insensitive in the churches’ communities. Snead suggested the wording be changed to, “historically, all elections in this country have served as a reminder” rather than mentioning the specific date of the recent election.

President Hahn deferred back to Resolutions Chairman Barnes.

MOTION

Barnes made a motion that the resolution be referred back to the committee to rework the first line.

Hahn called for a vote, which was determined to be at least 2/3 in favor of sending the resolution back to the Resolutions Committee. Hahn noted that the committee would bring back a revised resolution that afternoon.

Hahn introduced Dr. Brian Autry to give the Executive Director’s Report. Autry reminded the convention that we live in desperate times and that we desire to be biblically correct in all things. He is grateful we can have these types of discussions and that our discussions are not over the types of things some state conventions have to deal with. Those issues were settled with the SBCV from

PG 21

the beginning. Autry asked the attendees to shake a few hands.

Autry said he wants the convention to be encouraged about what God is doing in SBC of Virginia churches. Autry desires for SBCV never to forget that our partnership is based on theology, not just techniques. He prays that we will realize we are more than a convention—we are a coalition of churches and that our allegiance must be to the Lord Jesus and His Gospel. He prays that pastors and planters will remember they are on the same team. He encouraged churches to give through the Cooperative Program, which is a mighty missionary enterprise. He prays that pastors will not be lone rangers and that we will remember that the Gospel task is huge, but our God is able. Autry quoted from Ephesians 3:20 that God is able to do more than we can even imagine. He noted that the SBCV is a powerful partnership. Autry quoted Acts 9:31, which is his prayer for SBCV churches. Autry believes God is doing a great work in the younger generation, and it’s our job to help them grow in the faith. Autry acknowledged that many SBCV Disaster Relief workers were currently serving in the Northeast (in response to Hurricane Sandy). Autry affirmed that revival would come through the faithfulness of God’s family. Autry asked the convention to show its appreciation for the volunteers serving across the Northeast, and the convention applauded in response. Autry’s desire is for the SBCV to be strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission.

Autry pointed to the braided rope each attendee had received upon entering the session. He then read from Ecclesiastes 4 and reminded the convention that if we hold the rope together, we can do more for

Christ. Autry quoted Doyle Chauncey from September 16, 1996: “Let’s work together until Jesus comes, always in His strength, always for His glory. Together we can make a difference in Virginia and beyond! And in the end, it will truly be worth it all to have given our time, resources, and individual loyalty to the One who gives us eternal and abundant life through His Son Jesus Christ.”

Sounds of Liberty led in worship with the song, In Christ Alone.

Dr. Bryan Smith, pastor of First Baptist Church (Roanoke), introduced the first chapter of a video story about missionary Mike Smith. The video focused on Mike growing up at First Baptist Church (Roanoke). While in the youth group there, Mike went on a mission trip to Nairobi, Kenya. He also served in a ministry to troubled teens and then went into pastoral ministry. Brandon Pickett said that more of Mike’s story would be shown later.

Mr. Mark Gauthier, Missions Mobilization Team leader, introduced the following pastors and led a panel discussion with them about Acts 1:8 missions:

REV. JOEY BRAYChurch Administrator, The Tabernacle, Danville

REV. ERIC SCHOLTENSenior Pastor, Living Proof Baptist Church, Williamsburg

REV. CHRIS DOWDExecutive Pastor, Bedrock Community Church, Bedford, and Associate Church Planting Strategist, SBC of Virginia

Dowd shared about how the Lord had led his church (Bedrock Community Church (Bedford)) to minister in Nicaragua. Those in Nicaragua are now even sending money to help with our relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy. Gauthier and Dowd explained that someone from First Baptist Church (Norfolk) wanted to go to Nicaragua, but her church didn’t have plans to go. Through the Acts 1:8 Network, SBCV was able to connect her with Bedrock to go with its team. She served as a much-needed translator, and at least one young man got saved.

Bray shared how his church (The Tabernacle (Danville)) had been ministering in Haiti for over 30 years. After the earthquake, through the Acts 1:8 Network, the Lord networked three other churches to work with The Tabernacle. One of those churches was Centreville Baptist Church (Centreville). The churches partnered with several organizations and were able to construct seven houses in five days. Coca Cola even donated a playground assembly set. The work opened the door to share the Gospel.

MINUTES

PG 22

Gauthier shared that Aubrey Ralph, a member of Centreville, got the “bug” to keep going back to Haiti. He has been seven times and has brought eight SBCV churches.

Scholten shared about his church (Living Proof Baptist Church (Williamsburg)) having a heart for Haiti and participating in the Buckets of Hope project. Several church members, including Scholten’s wife, went to Haiti, which helped ignite the church’s excitement for ministry there. There is also a Haitian family in their church, which further connects Living Proof to Haiti. In December, Scholten will be taking a trip there (and bringing one of his Haitian church members with him). They will be meeting with churches to help them develop a process for discipling believers.

Gauthier said that SBCV has 19 networks in the Acts 1:8 Network, with the goal of helping churches network together. Gauthier thanked the churches for what they’re doing for the Lord through missions.

Doyle Chauncey presented The Nehemiah Awards for Service to Rev. Glen McLaughlin and Mr. Arthur Leary and shared some biographical information. McLaughlin was involved with the SBCV from the very beginning as pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church (Leesburg) and made a motion in 1995 that the calling of SBCV’s first executive director serve as a recognition of the possible formation of a separate state convention. Over the years, he has served on the Missions Committee and the Executive Board of the SBCV. He is currently an active member of Hamilton Baptist Church (Hamilton). Leary has been a faithful, dedicated, and serving member of Liberty Baptist Church (Hampton) for 43 years. He attended early SBCV meetings with his then pastor Al Gilbert and supported Liberty becoming affiliated with the SBCV. He has served on the SBCV Executive Board since 2007 and has commendably chaired several of its committees.

Chauncey asked McLaughlin’s and Leary’s families to stand. Leary gave thanks for the opportunity to serve the Lord. Autry led in prayer.

A video greeting was shown from LifeWay Christian Resources.

Sounds of Liberty led in worship with the song, Fairest Lord Jesus. They then sang, I Am.


Rev. Don Matthews, regional missionary (Central-West),

introduced the second chapter of the Mike Smith video story. The video shared how, at the last moment, Matthews had asked Smith to go on a vision trip to Africa. The Lord used that trip to call Smith to full-time missionary service.

Rev. Pete Hypes, pastor of Bermuda Baptist Church (Chester), introduced keynote speaker Dr. Randall T. Hahn, president of SBCV and pastor of Colonial Heights Baptist Church (Colonial Heights).

Hahn reminded the convention that the Resolutions Committee was reassessing resolution 3 and would bring a revised resolution to the convention at the time for unfinished business later that afternoon.

Hahn then shared the president’s address from Romans 15 – 16, entitled, “Partnering Big for the Gospel.”

Rev. Bill Wennersten, church planting strategist, shared a few announcements and introduced SBCV Secretary Dr. Don Paxton, pastor of Rosedale Baptist Church (Abingdon). Paxton closed the session in prayer at 12:00 PM and asked a blessing for the fellowship lunch to follow.

A free fellowship lunch was held in the dining hall. The program at the lunch focused on Missions Mobilization. Mrs. Terry Price from Liberty Baptist Church in Hampton, VA received the Disaster Relief Volunteer of the Year Award.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 13, 2012

The session began at 1:26 PM with Sounds of Liberty and Lorenzo Jackson leading in worship with the songs, No Other Name and Majestic. They then sang, Your Great Name.

PG 23

Video greetings were shown from GuideStone Financial Resources and the International Mission Board.

Mark Gauthier introduced the third chapter of the Mike Smith video story, explaining how the opportunity to go on a mission trip can change a person’s life. The video shared how the Lord connected Smith to the chief of the Nkoya people and how the chief paved the way for Smith to reach the Nkoya for Christ.

President Hahn called the meeting to order and announced it was time for unfinished business. He invited Curtis Barnes, chairman of the Resolutions Committee, to the platform. Barnes read a revised version of resolution 3:

Revised Resolution 3

WHEREAS, All elections, including the election of November 6, 2012, should always remind believers that God is the one who holds the keys and hearts of kings and that historically, spiritual awakening has come in similar periods as the result of unified, explicit, extraordinary prayer on the part of all God’s people and acknowledging that prayer is indeed our greatest need and most powerful resource; and

WHEREAS, We affirm our Baptist heritage as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention messengers in June 1980 that “The Kingdom of God is above all, to influence all in terms of the eternal and sovereign will of God and that in terms of 1 Timothy 2:1-5 that the church is always to pray for all peoples and especially for civil authorities;” and

WHEREAS, The 2012 Annual Homecoming has emphasized the

changing demographics and culture of our nation and increasing opportunities for sharing the Gospel by fulfilling the Great Commission; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the churches of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia pray regularly and consistently for spiritual awakening in our homes, churches, and communities and for our elected leaders at the local, state, and national level; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia view the changes in our nation as a providential missiological opportunity by maintaining a focus, passion, and intentionality on sharing the Gospel through Great Commission initiatives.

Barnes reiterated that the goal of the committee with this resolution was to voice a call to pray for our country and our leaders—not to see our changing culture as a threat but as an opportunity to reach the world with the Gospel. Barnes emphasized we are not focused on a candidate but on the Gospel. He emphasized that the Resolutions Committee did not intend to put anything out that could possibly be inflammatory.

Hahn noted that the resolution did not need a second since it was coming from a committee. He called for questions.

Del Curtis, messenger from Living Proof Baptist Church (Williamsburg) acknowledged his appreciation for the committee’s work. He expressed concern, however, that the mentioning of the date of this year’s election could be misconstrued by the media. Curtis noted that Nehemiah never blamed anyone but called the people to pray. Curtis expressed concern that this resolution could distract from our mission.

Sweh Velilla, youth pastor of Smyrna Baptist Church (Dinwiddie), reminded the convention that the media will sway whatever it desires, and it will be against us no matter what because we are not like the world. Velilla said that what matters is that we are standing on Scripture.

Kevin Giedd, messenger from Living Proof Baptist Church (Williamsburg) mentioned that many churches are afraid to use the words “Southern Baptist” in their church names in certain areas to prevent being vilified or misunderstood. Giedd noted that we should keep them in consideration when we put forth resolutions.

MINUTES

PG 24

Hahn called for a vote on the revision to resolution 3. There were several dissenting votes, but the revised resolution was adopted.

Hahn announced that it was time for the election of officers: president, 1st vice president, 2nd vice president, and secretary.

1st Vice President Danny Campbell called for nominations for president. Rev. Pat Fiordelise, pastor of Kingsland Baptist Church (Chesterfield), nominated Dr. Randall T. Hahn to serve a second term as president and shared some information about how God had used Hahn at Colonial Heights Baptist Church (Colonial Heights). Campbell asked if there were any other nominations, and there were none. Campbell called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of Hahn. Hahn asked for prayer that his serving in this role would lead to more people coming to know Christ.

Hahn called for nominations for 1st vice president. Dr. Kelly Burris, pastor of Kempsville Baptist Church (Virginia Beach), nominated Dr. Doug Echols, pastor of Bethel Baptist Church (Yorktown), and shared how the Lord had used him in ministry at several SBCV churches. Hahn asked if there were any other nominations, and there were none. He then called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of Echols.

Hahn called for nominations for 2nd vice president. Dr. Mark Becton, pastor of Grove Ave. Baptist Church (Richmond), thanked Hahn for his message that day and his leadership. Becton nominated Rev. Robert Rowland, pastor of Smyrna Baptist Church (Dinwiddie), for 2nd vice president and shared the godly qualifications of Rowland. Hahn asked if there were any other nominations, and there were none. He then called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of Rowland.

Hahn called for nominations for secretary. Rev. Jim Stone, executive pastor of Spotswood Baptist Church (Fredericksburg), nominated Dr. Daryl Harbin, pastor of Zion Baptist Church (Orange), and shared how the Lord had used him in his ministry. Hahn asked for other nominations, and there were none. He then called for a vote, which was unanimous in favor of Harbin.

Sounds of Liberty sang, Hosanna.


Eddie Urbine presented The Macedonia Awards for Cooperative Program Giving to Grove Ave. Baptist Church (Richmond) for the highest total CP giving in 2011 (Pastor Mark Becton receiving)

and Matoaca Baptist Church (Matoaca) for the highest CP giving per capita in 2011 (Pastor Donald Joyner receiving).

Brandon Pickett announced that Glenda Carver from Palestine Baptist Church (Huddleston) won the drawing for $250 towards estate or will planning through the SBC of Virginia Foundation.

Pickett asked members from Mike Smith’s home church (Deerfield Baptist Church (Deerfield)) to stand, and the convention applauded. A Skype call was connected with Mike Smith in Africa, and Smith’s video feed was shown on the screens. Smith asked for prayer for continuous electricity and water, which are in short supply. He also asked SBCV attendees to join the Smiths’ prayer list by emailing him at [email protected]. He asked for prayer for local leaders in Zambia and for the Bible school they have started there. The goal is for the students to come to the school for one week three times a year to be trained and discipled to lead new churches. There are currently five churches in their district. The newest church is seeing about 5 – 6 decisions for Christ each week and is averaging about 80 in attendance. They are working hard to disciple new believers. Smith asked for prayer for two specific areas where they’re planning to plant. They are praying about bringing a national missionary from another area of Zambia to that area. The church in Mkumbo is only four months old, and people are growing and catching the vision. They recently had an all-night prayer meeting and yet another meeting just a few hours later. Smith asked for prayer that Mr. Limata will not prevent the church meeting where they’ve been gathering. The church is seeking a plot of land (which will cost about $1,000) on which to build. Smith asked for prayer

PG 25

for his family: wife (Amy) and children (Tyler and Evie)—for good friends for them and contentment. Amy homeschools the kids and leads women’s Bible studies. He asked for prayer for friends for his family. Jim Davis from Kingsland Baptist Church (Richmond), whose son serves with Smith, led in prayer for the Smith family.

Autry pointed out that only $1,000 is needed to buy that plot of land for the church. Autry noted that there may be someone who could meet that need right then. Autry asked anyone who would like to donate towards this to see Eddie Urbine in the foyer. [As of 12/31/12, $8,167.00 was received toward the ministry of Mike Smith/Zambia and was forwarded to the International Mission Board.]

The members of Sounds of Liberty introduced themselves then led in worship with the song, Never Once.


Rev. Trey Hensley, pastor of The Camp of Faith Church (Stephens City), introduced and prayed for keynote speaker Rev. Afshin Ziafat, lead pastor of Providence Church in Frisco, TX.

Ziafat shared a message from 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10, entitled, “The Transforming Power of the Gospel.”

The man who won the drawing for the $1,000 mission trip scholarship (awarded during the fellowship lunch) announced that he would donate his scholarship so that Mike Smith could purchase the land needed to build the church in Africa.

Autry invited the 2012 officers to the platform and presented each with a framed certificate of appreciation. The convention applauded them for their service:

PRESIDENT 1ST VICE PRESIDENTRandall T. Hahn Danny Campbell

2ND VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARYReggie Hester Don Paxton

Autry then asked the new officers to come to the platform:

PRESIDENT 1ST VICE PRESIDENTRandall T. Hahn Doug Echols

THE NEED FOR REVIVAL & SPIRITUAL AWAKENINGAs followers of Jesus, as leaders in His churches, and as people who have claimed to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, we understand the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14. We must lay aside our pride and kneel down in prayer and repentance for revival to come to this land.

We must renew the call for pastors to pray together, for churches to pray together, and for this partnership of churches to prioritize prayer as we confess our dependence upon God’s favor.

STRONGER TOGETHERAt present, SBC of Virginia is a partnership of over 600 churches. By God’s grace and with your support, SBC of Virginia will be a partnership of strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission.

Our pastors and churches, who at times stood alone in standing for the Scriptures, cherish the value of this fellowship of churches. As one pastor shared, SBC of Virginia is blessed to be a united fellowship in our shared theology, statement of faith, and allegiance to biblical authority.

“Let’s work together until Jesus comes, always in His strength, always for His glory. Together we can make a difference in Virginia and beyond!”

TOGETHER WE CAN PLANT CHURCHESWe have focused our church planting strategy on reaching the lost and penetrating the darkness that is still evident across our mission field. With intention, we now have a church planting strategist focusing on developing and building our work with various people groups. We are also developing church planting strategy teams across our mission field to forge a partnership among churches that will work towards readiness, recruitment, mentoring, and multiplication of strong churches with a bold commitment to the Great Commission—strong churches planting strong churches.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES & DEVELOPMENTS

ETHNIC & PEOPLE GROUP MINISTRIESThis year, SBCV will have its first Annual Hispanic Conference. Strategy teams of leaders representing various people groups are being developed.

EVANGELISMRandy Aldridge, one of our church planting strategists, is also now serving as our evangelism strategist. He has served as a pastor and church planter and will coordinate resources and strategies for evangelism. My Hope with Billy Graham—We are partnering with the Billy Graham Association to serve as a resource to SBC of Virginia churches and pastors with this national emphasis on evangelism. The Empowered Conference for pastors, staff, and church leaders, featurying Dr. Fred Luter, is planned for March 11, 2014 and will be hosted by Liberty Baptist Church in Hampton.

FINANCIAL AND STEWARDSHIP SUPPORTA new GuideStone partnership has been established. Gary Horton, our regional missionary in the southwest, is now serving as our SBCV GuideStone representative. This year, our SBCV Foundation assisted churches in the area of stewardship. Financial seminars for pastors were held across Virginia. Estate planning, church incorporation, and other stewardship support were provided. SBCV Church Ministry Services assists church plants and churches with their ongoing financial management.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

We are a fellowship with a purpose. We are united by biblical convictions and by our missions commitment. We are a partnership of churches, working together as allies in the Great Commission.

The Apostle John, while exiled on Patmos for his biblical convictions and missions commitment, penned The Revelation of Jesus Christ. In Revelation 1:9, he reminds the churches that we are brothers and partners. We are a family, and we are an army. We are stronger together.

TOGETHER WE CAN STRENGTHEN CHURCHESWe have introduced leadership summits that are statewide opportunities for pastor fellowship and equipping. A leadership summit for pastors of smaller congregations equipped and encouraged over 75 pastors. Because prayer is fundamental and foundational for strong churches, a prayer summit is planned for 2014. An Empowered Conference with Dr. Fred Luter, focusing on evangelism, is planned for March 2014. SBCV missionaries and staff provide direct consultation to churches; equipping opportunities; and ongoing support to strengthen local church ministries.

TOGETHER WE CAN MOBILIZE CHURCHESMobilizing churches for evangelism and missions is at the core of our work to strengthen churches in making disciples of all nations. Our Disaster Relief Ministry has been active throughout the year. Churches are being mobilized for church planting through Send DC and Send Montreal. Fusion Mission Camp mobilized students this summer. Strategies to mobilize churches to serve in Appalachia, the Dakotas, and internationally are also underway. SBCV’s Acts 1:8 Networks are at the heart of mobilizing churches long term for Great Commission impact.

PG 28

Innovative Faith Resources is to assist God’s people in telling the story of His work across Virginia and around the world. Our Empowered media outreach has expanded beyond Empowered devotional videos. Empowered Radio now airs Saturday mornings on Victory FM. Empowered Pastor-to-Pastor is a new resource featuring video interviews with nationally recognized leaders.

STRONG CHURCHES WITH A BOLD COMMITMENT TO THE GREAT COMMISSIONAs we meet this November to emphasize our partnership as Strong Churches, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for your prayers and support. By God’s grace and our continued obedience, the SBC of Virginia will continue to strengthen, mobilize, and plant churches for the glory of God.

SOUTHWEST REGIONGary Horton

Four years ago, Scott County had no SBCV presence. Through the work of the Lord, Thomas Village Baptist Church in Duffield joined the SBCV without a pastor to lead them. Thomas Village has shared about SBCV to numerous other churches, sparking interest in Scott County.

Over 200 attended the first-ever regional men’s event, where Rick Rigsby was the keynote speaker. A community prayer group started as well. God is moving in Smyth County and breaking down barriers.

VALLEY REGIONDon Cockes

New partnerships are forming and evangelistic fruit is blossoming. The SBCV welcomed its first affiliate church in Bath County on the West Virginia border this year. Other churches are partnering together in missions and evangelism by adopting unreached people groups. This region is learning the importance of working together.

Calvary CrossLink in Harrisonburg, a church once almost closed, is alive now with 75 professions of faith in a six-week period. Also, Fellowship Community Church has averaged one profession of

faith per service since Easter 2013. Their third campus had 500 attendees at its first service! God is working in the Roanoke and Shenandoah Valleys.

SOUTHSIDE REGIONJack Noble

Over the years, there has been much discussion about pushing back the darkness. Until 2006, Patrick County didn’t have any churches partnering with SBCV. Since then, two churches have partnered with SBCV and three churches have been started. Grace Baptist Church and Grace Community Church were two of the three church starts. The Ridge Community Church began under a partnership of SBCV church planting and First Baptist Church of Bassett. Fairystone Baptist Church and Doe Run Baptist Church also affiliated with SBCV. The people of Patrick County now have a greater light as fellowshipping SBCV churches seek to spread the word about Christ.

PG 32

CENTRAL-WEST REGIONShawn Ames and Don Matthews

The Central-West Region of the SBCV of Virginia is seeing progress towards increased Gospel partnerships and revitalized churches. Together with SBCV, Central-West churches helped provide breakout sessions—from discipleship to crisis intervention—to those attending the Wildfire Conference. My Hope with Billy Graham is a nationwide evangelism strategy in which pastors from 25 churches have received training. CHAMPS, a comprehensive church health consultation, has also been added.

NORTH REGIONDarrell Webb

The North Region is forming new networks and partnerships with churches to reach our neighbors and the nations with the Gospel. The Lord is opening many doors to partner with the ethnic churches in the area. The SBCV Korean Pastors and Wives

Network was established this year with the increase in Korean churches. Hearts are aligning between the churches through prayer and fellowship.

Partnering with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and the North American Mission Board, a process called people group mapping began. There are 60 of the 150+ people groups living in the Metro DC area. Through much prayer, the Lord provided above expectations with six North Region churches committing themselves to reaching a people group in the region.

CENTRAL-EAST REGIONSteve Bradshaw

Like-minded and shared vision partners of SBCV churches have been networking together to spread the Gospel to the communities, no matter where they are. One example of this comes from Fusion Mission Camp, where more than 300 students from Kingsland, Swift Creek (Colonial Heights), and Bethany Place Baptist Churches participated in 19 different mission projects.

Colonial Heights Baptist Church graciously hosted Dr. Johnny Hunt for the state Growth and Revitalization Conference, having over 150 pastors, staff, and lay leaders in attendance. One of the most pivotal times for churches is the duration of switching pastors, and we rejoice in His matching new pastors at Parkway, Swift Creek (Midlothian), New Hope, and Oak Grove Baptist Churches.

SOUTHEAST REGIONDavid Bounds

In the Southeast Region, we have continued to support pastors and strengthen churches.

Three Pastors and Staff Fellowships were held in a four-month period. Dr. Brian Autry shared at two of them and David Francis at the other. These events brought over 80 pastors and staff together, encouraging them and challenging them to fulfill the mission.

Many churches are growing stronger. In particular, Waters Edge Church in Yorktown launched its second satellite location in Newport News with 600 members. In addition, Liberty Baptist Church of Hampton launched its first multi-site location, Liberty Harbor View, with many members from the Suffolk area. There is no doubt that God is encouraging pastors and expanding churches in the Southeast Region.

Hurricane Sandy was one of the strongest storms to ever hit the East Coast. Hundreds of families lost homes or had

damage related to flooding, wind, snow, and even fire. Millions of people were without electricity.

One team of SBC of Virginia Disaster Relief (DR) workers was deployed to the New York City area to assist families with food distribution and other needs. Another SBCV DR team was sent to Mt. Nebo, WV with two feeding units, one shower unit, and a generator to help those affected by the snow storm. Closer to home, an SBCV DR flood recovery team was set up in Pocomoke City to provide resources and manpower to families with water damage in their homes.

SBC of Virginia Missions Mobilization Team leader, Mark Gauthier, led the SBC national effort in the Northeast as the area commander. SBC of Virginia’s Disaster Relief director, Jack Noble, served along with Gauthier as area command logistics officer. Longtime Disaster Relief worker and trainer Bob Williams led the efforts in Virginia.

SBCV teams were among the very first to respond, with management team members responding to Pennsylvania, riding out the storm, then moving on to New Jersey the day after landfall. SBCV was the last to return home, with our bunkhouse, IC post, and water closet having been used for months during the response.

And in between, hundreds of volunteers provided meals, showers, and hope—moving tons of mud and debris while sharing God’s love with those in need.

After four months of Disaster Relief Ministry, including Christmas and spring break student initiatives, Southern Baptist leaders began making preparations to welcome teams of volunteers to New York and New Jersey over the summer to help homeowners continue recovering from the damage left by Sandy. SBCV

continued to assist in this vital work with Baptist Builders teams responding as recently as this past September.

SBC of Virginia Baptist Builders traveled to New York recently to begin the rebuild from Superstorm Sandy. They worked May 5-11 and were the first team to respond in the rebuild that will be ongoing for the next two years!

While there, the team stayed at an Episcopal church on Long Island and traveled daily to homes in Queens, Brooklyn, Rockaway Beach, and Long Island. They hung and finished drywall in two homes, put blue tarps on the side of another house where the siding was blown off, and cleaned out a flooded basement in a fourth home.

One of the most rewarding repairs was fixing the stair railing in the home of an elderly blind man and his wife. They had been living upstairs since the storm and could not get downstairs without much assistance. When the railing was repaired and the man was able to leave his home, he commented to the Baptist Builders team, “I want to go to church to thank God for sending workers to help us!”

First In...Last Out — SBCV’s DR Response to Hurricane Sandy

I want to go to church to thank God for sending workers to help us!

ACTS 1:8 FAMILIESActs 1:8 Families offers a unique, five-day mission experience that allows children, youth, and adults to build a legacy of missions by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others through relevant servanthood and direct evangelism experiences.

One of the best opportunities for moms and dads to model evangelism and missions to their children is through Acts 1:8 Families. This year, more than a dozen families from across Virginia traveled to Martinsville for a week of missions and evangelism work. The Community Fellowship (Collinsville) and Hillcrest Baptist Church (Ridgeway) hosted this year.

BAPTIST BUILDERS

Baptist Builders is a ministry of workers who use construction skills to serve

Jesus Christ, but you can still serve even if you don’t have any previous experience—all you need is a willing heart.

Over the past two years, Baptist Builders has grown from just under 300 to more than 600 active volunteers. They have participated in three projects so far this year. In August 2012, a flood destroyed or damaged almost 200 homes along Dry Creek in Washington County, TN. Virginia Baptist Builders partnered with Tennessee Baptist Builders and the Appalachian Service Project to build eight homes before the Christmas holiday. During the first week of building, a team of 43 construction students from Iowa State University framed several homes. During the next three weeks, a total of 42 Baptist Builders, representing 16 churches from 5 states, came and completed the homes!

You know the type. The person who walks in the doors of the church

and everyone turns to stare, wondering, “Who will connect with him?” Based on his appearance, most of us wouldn’t jump at the chance to befriend and share the Gospel with him—but Hannah Carmona doesn’t think like most of us.

During the closing program of Acts 1:8 Families this summer, an older man with his shirt tail half in and half out, supporting a Mountain Dew bottle in his rear pocket, walking with a limp, and wearing clothes in desperate need of pressing with hair well beyond manageable, entered the building. He wandered around the 175 people in attendance, not creating a disturbance but clearly out of place. In fact, when the program started, he actually interrupted the emcee, Mark Gauthier. What few in the group knew was that he was Barry McGee, chaplain of Motor Racing Outreach, the speaker for the evening.

Hannah Carmona, one of the children participating in Acts 1:8 Families, befriended him before the program began,

“ Want a memory to last a life time?Watch your child share the Gospel.”

offering him food and conversation. Most importantly, she took the time to explore his spiritual condition. Barry followed her lead, wanting to see how far she would go with sharing the Gospel. Hannah extended him the opportunity to express his faith in Christ, and he followed. It wasn’t until Barry ascended the platform that Hannah discovered he was already a believer and was amazed at her boldness and clarity in sharing the Gospel. Hannah did not let Barry’s unkempt manner deter her from sharing her faith. Barry shared before the group that Hannah was the first person in his adult life who had expressed an interest in his spiritual condition.

One of the core values in Acts 1:8 Families is for the children to have the opportunity to share Christ. Another young camper, Kaitlyn Brogan, quickly stepped up to the plate when she noticed that someone was open to the Gospel. She used the EvangeCube to share her faith and encouraged the child to respond to the Gospel—and he did!

The core value of families sharing the Gospel on mission together was not lost on those who participated in Acts 1:8 Families in Martinsville, VA this summer. Would you and you children like to honor the Lord and be blessed by participating in an Acts 1:8 Families in Montreal or southwest Virginia in 2014? Want a memory to last a life time?

a Bible, but Acts 1:8 Families increases her boldness.

Cherie expressed thankfulness for what Acts 1:8 Families has done and will

continue to do in her family.

CATHY CARMONAHannah’s Mom

We have participated in Acts 1:8 for four years now. It truly is a blessing to

our family and something we look forward to every year. Serving Christ as a

family keeps us centered and focused on what’s important…being the hands

and feet of Christ. Both of our children are strong representatives for Christ.

We are so proud of Hannah’s boldness for Christ and her passion for helping

people understand the sacrifice Christ made for all of us. We look forward to

seeing how God will use us next year on the mission field.

FROM A PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE

MISSION PROJECTSQUILTING MATERIALS FOR IMB MISSIONARIESPrior to serving overseas, all of our IMB missionaries spend time at the International Learning Center (ILC) preparing to take the message of Christ to the lost. As a form of relaxation while at the ILC, the women are given the opportunity to learn to quilt. They can also use this knowledge on the field to teach women a new trade. SBCV churches collected hundreds of quilting kits that will be taken on the mission field around the world.

MISSION PARTNERSHIPSPartnership opportunities are continuing to be developed in concert with the IMB’s model of reaching people groups and engaging them for multiple years. We are continuing to model mission trips as small teams of two to six people going to engage the same people group multiple times during the year versus a large, once-a-year trip.

During 2013, the SBCV led vision trips to the Send Cities of Montreal and Washington, DC. These trips were in support of the Send City initiative of the North American Mission Board. All of our work in partnerships is geared toward connecting our churches to the Acts 1:8 Networks so they can work together with other local churches to reach the lost for Christ.

OVER $20,000 GIVEN to help purchase Bibles for Southern Africa

THE SBC OF VIRGINIA promotes a number of projects in support of regional and international missions, giving opportunities for local church involvement.

SUPPORT FOR LOCAL HUNGER MINISTRIESEvery school in Virginia has children who know what it is like to be hungry, to have no food at home. During the months of March and April, the SBCV mission project was for all SBCV churches to support a local hunger ministry.

BIBLES FOR SOUTHERN AFRICA

Bibles in the native language, Sesotho of Lesotho, are very difficult to find and, if found, are very expensive. Last year, during the two months for which this project was promoted, over $20,000 was given to help purchase these Bibles.

There are more Ethiopians in DC than in any city in Ethiopia with the exception of the capital, Addis Ababa. DC has a portion of town referred to as “Little Ethiopia.”

PLANT: Equipping Church Planting Teams. The newly designed process will be more robust and will further refine our understanding of a candidate’s ability to serve successfully in the role of a lead church planter. We fully anticipate that the new process will result in a more efficient placement of church planter candidates in church planting roles; healthier and stronger church plants; an increase in our church plant viability percentage; and, consequently, more rewarding sponsoring church experiences.

In spite of the best efforts of church planters, sponsoring churches, church planting instructors, church planting coaches,

and church planting networks—there are no guarantees of a healthy, multiplying church. Nonetheless, we continually reflect upon the quality of our plants and the related systems, structures, and processes used in working with them in order to realize the best outcome possible for every sponsoring church, church plant, and church planter.

At a recent Church Planting Team retreat, our strategists, coaches, and catalytic church planters worked together to redesign our enlistment, assessment and equipping process. Our new process will begin January 1, 2014. We are adding a few components to the process already in place as well as capitalizing on the flexibility built into our newly developed curriculum for church planters—

Associate church planting strategists , now called church planter coaches, are a team of men who have successfully planted healthy, multiplying churches and are still pastoring the churches they established.

REFINING THE CHURCH PLANTING PROCESS

TEAM FOCUSMembers of the Church Planting Team who receive little attention but serve a vital role in church planter support are the associate church planting strategists. This team is composed of men who have successfully planted healthy, multiplying churches and are still pastoring the churches they established. They provide relevant and timely coaching, drawn from a wellspring of experience gained in the very same fields in which new church planters are laboring. Furthermore, the associates’ own church plants serve as learning laboratories from which new planters can learn.

The church planter coaches most often begin to relate to new planters through the approval process. Drawing on their knowledge of what it takes to be a successful planter, the coaches are called upon to assist in assessing church planter candidates prior to their final approval—to discern whether a candidate possesses not only the passion but the skill set required to recruit and lead a team to plant a new church. The next time a

church planter encounters members of the coaching team is at a PLANT equipping event, which is taught exclusively by current practitioners to insure relevancy in our equipping. Once a planter begins the work of planting a new church, he meets with members of the coaching team and a church planting strategist on at least a monthly basis in the early stages of the church plant. In addition to the work described above, the coaches help shape the content of regional Church Planter Networks and participate in the annual evaluation of church planters.

In his book, The Heart of Coaching, Thomas Crane writes, “By not providing coaching to people after providing them

PG 49


with training, we set them up for failure.” The intentionality shown in providing timely, relevant coaching to SBCV church planters has resulted in a higher-than-average viability rate of the new churches started.

In an effort to give greater attention to reaching international people groups that God has brought to our ministry field in Virginia and Greater DC, we asked one of our church planting strategists, Larry Black, and his wife, Margaret, to relocate.

They now live along the I-95 corridor between Richmond and Washington, DC, where the concentration of internationals is greatest. Larry’s initial estimates are that as many as 190 people groups reside within these two cities and the corridor in between.

The Missions Mobilization Team, under the leadership of Mark Gauthier, has been involved with the North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board in a research effort to identify people groups living in the Metropolitan Washington, DC area. This research project has been divided into three stages or tiers. The first tier provides a surface-level understanding of people-group presence derived from online research. The second tier involves having researchers on the ground to locate some

The third tier of this process involves churches adopting identified people groups and taking responsibility for starting churches among them.

Since Larry began working in this area in January, he has been engaged in enlisting and supervising a team of tier-two researchers who began work in DC in June. In a four-month period of time, the research team has identified more than 25 ethno-linguistic groups that make up more than 75 people groups. While the work of tier-two research is continuing, Larry and regional missionary Darrell Webb have worked together to meet with six SBCV churches who’ve made commitments to reach West Africans with the Gospel in Metropolitan Washington, DC.

On a broader scale, seven churches have been started among international people groups across Virginia and Greater DC this year. The following people groups are currently being engaged with the Gospel through church planting activities: Arabic, Iranian, Pashtun, and Vietnamese in Washington, DC; Nepalese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Nigerian, Bhutanese, and Chinese in

who have been approved and are now either on the field or soon will be. Ron Jones is planting Capital City Fellowship in Fairfax County; John Edwards is in the early stages of planting DC Fellowship in the Georgetown section of DC; and Zack Randles will be moving to the city to plant Waterfront Church DC in the developing new Waterfront community along the Anacostia River between the Navy Yard and Waterfront Metro stations. While these planters have already been approved, there are five other potential planters at various stages in our assessment/enlistment process. All of the planters have a strong ministry or church planting background and are all high-capacity leaders.

Please join with us in praying to the Lord of the harvest for more sponsors and church planters to come and make disciples among those who live and work in one of the most influential cities of the world—Washington, DC.

With 83 percent of the population of North America is now living in metropolitan areas, the major population centers in North America are vital mission fields for Kingdom growth and influence. Washington, DC is included in a list of 32 cities on which the North American Mission Board is focused in its Send North America strategy. We at the SBC of Virginia are partnering with the North American Mission Board to increase the evangelistic church planting activity in our nation’s capital by way of recruiting new sponsoring churches and church planters. In the two years since Send North America and Send DC have been operational, three major sponsoring churches have been identified and are now sponsoring works in the Metro DC area with the SBCV. These include Spotswood Baptist Church of Fredericksburg, VA; Second Baptist Church of Springfield, MO; and Cross Pointe Baptist Church of Duluth, GA. These sponsoring churches have each committed to contribute at least $30,000 per year for five years for church planting in DC along with their commitment to enlist five additional churches to join them in the work by way of committing at least $5,000 per year to church planting in DC. These churches are not only sending money—they’re also sending mission teams to assist in the planting of churches, providing prayer support and mentoring for the church planters.

Through the national network that is now in place through Send North America, we have been able to enlist three church planters

Finally, at over one million people, Hispanics are the largest group of non-English-speaking residents in Virginia and Metropolitan Washington, DC. Three new Hispanic churches have been started this year across the state, bringing our total number of Hispanic churches and church plants to 20. A select group of leaders from among these churches conducted the first Annual

SBCV Hispanic Conference on October 19 with the theme Sirviendo de Jesus Con Ganas (Serving Jesus with Passion). The focus of the conference was to affirm the churches, equip leaders, and call out church planters. The conference hosted by Kingsland Baptist Church in Richmond, where Pat Fiordelise serves as pastor.

Bedrock Community Church in Bedford, VA is one of many healthy church plants in recent years that is making an impact with the Gospel. Bedrock was sponsored in part by First Baptist Church of Roanoke

where church planter Jonge Tate had been on staff for some time. Jonge planted Bedrock in 2008 with a strong team, among whom was longtime friend Chris Dowd. Bedrock has now grown to average 550 in weekly worship and has launched a second campus, which will soon be recognized as an autonomous church, averaging 200 in weekly worship. They are making preparations even now to launch their next church. Read Chris Dowd’s description below regarding their approach to church planting and training new church planters.

concept of church multiplication and the more he spoke with his professors, the more he discovered a deep calling to plant a church. God is now uniting his passion for pastoral ministry with his passion for the people of New England and his newfound passion for church planting.

Kevin and his wife began to look for a church-planting-church that would serve as a training ground for their future ministry in church planting. This is where Bedrock came into the story God is writing for Kevin’s life. At the same time that Kevin was discovering his calling to church planting, we (at Bedrock Community Church in Bedford, VA) were discovering our calling to train church planters. Upon visiting Bedrock and hearing of the church’s vision to train


Almost two years ago, God brought Kevin McGinn and his wife, Carrie, to the city of Lynchburg, VA so he could further his training in pastoral ministry at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary (LBTS). He came with his own understanding of what pastoral ministry meant based upon his own experiences in churches around Central Massachusetts. His ideas about his calling and direction in life, however, soon began to change.

Kevin stated, “Sitting under the teaching of men like Rod Dempsey, Dave Wheeler, and Dave Earley exposed my ears to the word ‘multiplication’—a word they sometimes seemed to say as many times as they could within one class period.” The more Kevin wrestled with the

critical areas. The result would not just be planting churches but seeing approved, unashamed, faithful servants being sent out to deliver the Word of truth.

So in the summer of 2012, we started our own church planter training program. It is our desire to invest in the church planter himself as a man, a theologian, and a leader. We lean heavily upon an “experiential learning” approach. We want all of the guys not only to have some roundtable classroom environments but also to be able to get hands-on experience in a church plant setting. At the time of this writing, God has brought us 12 men and their families, who come together twice a month for a period of one year. At the same time, they are all getting plugged into various ministries throughout our church and participating in one-on-one mentoring with our staff. Our prayer is that at the end of this first year, churches will be planted, the Kingdom will be advanced, and God will be glorified.

and send out church planters, they knew that Bedrock was the place for them

How could we be that “training ground” that he was searching for? What could we offer to help train Kevin and others like him in a way that could not be achieved in a classroom? In Paul’s second letter to Timothy, he challenged him with these words, “You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2, ESV). God has certainly taught us a lot in planting Bedrock, and we are still learning every day. Whatever God has taught us, we want to be faithful to give to other faithful men. Whatever is in our “cup,” we want to pour into theirs. The way we are attempting to accomplish this is through developing our own church planting center, a training hub for church planters.

The Apostle Paul also reminds us of the charge that sits before all ministers of the Gospel: “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15, ESV). That challenge involves elements of personal integrity, calling, theology, and ministry. We desired to help encourage and equip the members of this program through that journey of discovery. We wanted to develop a program that would help others grow in each of these

Yet another healthy church plant was started about the same time in

Charlottesville when Kyle and Christine Hoover came to Virginia from Texas with a team from their home church. They came with a vision to start a church that would have a collegiate focus. Today they average 425 in weekly worship from both the campus of the University of Virginia and the community and have already sponsored two other new churches and are presently making preparations for their third. Read the description below about how Christine’s journey in church planting is blessing others in Virginia, the United States, and Canada.

With more than 1,400 church planting personnel appointed by the North American Mission Board last year, the nationwide push toward church planting has opened up a niche in the market—specifically the need to resource these men and women. Christine Hoover is meeting that demand head-on with a new book, “The Church Planting Wife.”

Recently released by Moody Publishers, her book offers women serving alongside their husbands practical tools to embrace their call with joy.

The Hoovers’ call to church planting began in 2008 when Kyle and Christine planted Charlottesville Community Church in Virginia. Starting out as a living room Bible study of 10 people, the church now averages 400, has already helped plant two more area churches, and is hoping to launch a third plant in the D.C. area.

In her book, Christine chronicles this journey to growth—the growth of her church and her role as a pastor’s wife—and

CHARLOTTESVILLE COMMUNITY CHURCH

the struggles unique to women in church planting. “When my husband and I planted [our] church in 2008, we attended church planting conferences and read countless resources, but none specifically spoke to me as the church planter’s wife,” she said. “Then we actually planted the church and my want for resources turned to craving.” In light of the absence of resources available for women in church planting, she turned to books that encouraged her faith. “All along, however, I longed for a book that addressed the specific needs and struggles that I had as a church planting wife.”

Framed around the heart, “The Church Planting Wife” addresses the common problems faced by wives of church planters. These struggles change as new plants progress through different growth cycles. “Through every stage, the church planting wife faces a constant struggle of maintaining proper boundaries and priorities. The lines between ministry and family life are so blurred in church planting that it easily can affect the marriage relationship. Priorities require constant attention and adjustment in church planting.”

“In the church’s initial stage, uncertainty and discouragement can easily choke out faith. In the exhaustion of the second year, [the church planter’s wife] must decide if she is willing to continue sacrificially serving and giving, even if there are few ‘results’ to show for what she has already given.” Christine goes on to say that as the plant stabilizes, the church planter’s wife must learn to “eradicate pride” that can come with new growth while adjusting to a church where “she no longer knows everyone.”

Along with addressing the common struggles of a church planting wife, Christine also seeks to dispel certain myths. “The main myth, I believe, is that she is not as essential to the church

plant as her husband,” Christine notes that wives of church planters often serve as sounding boards for their husbands, lead major ministries in the church, and are key components of hospitality.

A second myth is that the pastor’s wife is responsible for doing everything in the church. “…the church planting wife’s ‘job description’ that God reiterated to me over and over: ‘Follow me, serve your family, love people, and practice hospitality’, ...it’s really quite simple.”

You can find more about Kyle and Christine Hoover at cvillechurch.org or her ministry blog, GraceCoversMe.com.

[The information above was taken from an article first published in the Southern Baptist Texan]

On August 23-24, the wives of our church planting strategists hosted a weekend retreat for 38 SBCV church planters’ wives, and Christine was the featured speaker. The wives of our SBCV church planters returned home encouraged and affirmed. Please join us in praying for our church planters and their families. Information about SBCV church planters can be found at http://www.sbcv.org/articles/category/planter_profiles.

CONCLUSIONThe state of church planting in Virginia and Greater DC is strong, and the future is bright, filled with opportunities for churches to make an impact through church planting. Your SBCV Church Planting Team stands ready to assist you.

DISPELLING 2 MYTHS1. The church planting wife is not as essential to the church plant as her husband.
