Upton, Jr., Executive Director Journal Baptist General Association of Virginia The Sandy Creek Baptist Association was organized in 1760 and included churches in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. In 1771, Virginia Baptists organized the General Association of Separate Baptists in Virginia, operating until 1783 when the Baptist General Committee was instituted to take its place. The General Committee continued until 1799 when it was succeeded by the General Committee of Correspondence, which represented the Baptists of Virginia until 1822, when it was decided to organize the General Association of Baptists in Virginia. Its first session was held in 1823, and in 1855 its name was changed to the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

1971 annual meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, registration and voting procedures for the annual meeting were established. I. Eligibility The eligibility of messengers is determined by the Constitution of the Baptist General Association of Virginia as follows: ARTICLE III. Section B: Composition The General Association shall be composed of the officers of the General Association and messengers elected by Baptist churches which follow the New Testament teaching of salvation by grace and believer’s baptism by immersion, and which cooperate with the General Association. Each church contributing financially at least $500 during the previous fiscal year, according to the treasurer’s report, to the Virginia portion of the Cooperative Missions Budget shall be entitled to two (2) messengers; to a total of three (3) messengers for $750; a total of four (4) messengers for $1000, and to one (1) more messenger for each additional $600; provided that no church shall be entitled to more than fifteen (15) messengers. If $500 is more than two percent (2%) of a church’s total annual receipts, such church is entitled to two (2) messengers, provided it contributes financially at least two percent (2%) of its total annual receipts to the Virginia portion of the Cooperative Missions Budget. Cooperative Missions is Virginia Baptists’ long-standing commitment to the Cooperative Program. II. Registration 1. Messengers should be elected by cooperating Baptist churches. 2. Written certification of election of messengers must be presented at the registration desk at the General Association meeting. 3. If written certification is not presented, the General Association’s Credentials Committee will make decisions regarding the status of messengers. 4. Written certification, in the form of your pre-registration materials, will be mailed from the Office of the Treasurer, Baptist General Association of Virginia. III. Voting Registered messengers will be provided, at the time of registration, ballots numbered 1 to 5. These ballots will be the only instrument used for written voting. 6 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS To Introduce Business The following is provided as information to assist messengers with the “when and how to” of presenting amendments, motions, and resolutions. The information has been paraphrased from the Constitution and Bylaws of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, which are printed in full at the end of the Book of Reports. Article VIII, Amendments, of the Constitution states that amendments to the Constitution must be presented in writing and read during the morning session of the first day. Providing these qualifications are met, they will be acted upon during the business session of the second day. Article IV, Section D of the Bylaws states that motions, resolutions, and other proposals which would change the policy of the General Association or any board, institution, or agency connected with the General Association must be made in writing and read at a session of the General Association before it is presented for action. The proposal may not be acted upon until after the intervention of at least one session. A motion is defined as that business brought before the BGAV which relates to or affects the policies and/or operations of the BGAV. A policy is defined as those principles by which the BGAV is guided and managed. Section K states that resolutions from registered messengers must be submitted in writing to the clerk of the Association no later than the beginning of the evening session of the first day. They are then referred to the Resolutions Committee. A resolution is defined as the expressions of opinions of registered messengers and in no way relates to or affects the policy of the BGAV. Section L states that amendments to the Bylaws must be presented in writing and read during the morning session of the first day. Providing these qualifications are met, they will be acted upon during either the morning or afternoon session of the second day. Note: Matters introduced after the end of the next to the last session of an annual meeting may not be considered at that annual meeting except by unanimous consent. Persons who desire assistance in putting in proper constitutional form matters of business to be presented to the General Association may contact any member of the Program Committee who will refer you to a resource person.

Navegando las encrespadas aguas de la identidad religiosa del Latino en los EE.UU.: Room 102 Tendencias y Prospectivas (Navigating the Choppy Waters of Latino Religious Identity: Trends and Prospects) NOTE: This session is conducted in Spanish. Un estudio del Centro de Investigaciones PEW, publicado en mayo de 2014, descubrió que la cuota de los Latinos que se declaran Católicos está decreciendo, en tanto los números entre los declarados Protestantes y los desafiliados religiosos está creciendo. ¿Qué significa esta tendencia para las iglesias Bautistas Latinas de Virginia? ¿Cómo pueden las iglesias responder positivamente? Participe de este taller para enterarse de los resultados de la encuesta PEW, y para dialogar con otros líderes latinos que están tratando de alcanzar a sus comunidades con el evangelio de Jesucristo. A Pew Research Center study, published May 2014, found that the Catholic share of the Latino population is declining, while numbers among Protestants and the religiously unaffiliated are on the rise. What does this trend mean for Latino Virginia Baptist churches? How should churches respond positively? Come hear findings from the report, and prepare to dialogue with other Latino leaders seeking to reach their communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Presented by Greg and Sue Smith, Latino Network. Challenges to Free Expression of Religion in the US Room 103 There is tremendous freedom to exercise religion in this country. Sometimes school or government officials discriminate against Christians or minority religions because of misinformation, overcautiousness, or prejudice. What experiences do people have of this discrimination and how can we help overcome this? Presented by the Religious Liberty Committee. 2015 Budget Discussion Room 104 This is an opportunity to get clarification and answers to your questions about the proposed 2015 budget. This is a one-hour session and will not be continued into the second session as in previous years. Led by Budget Committee Chair, Chuck Harrison. 14 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Virginia Baptists’ Church Planting Movement Room 105 Learn about the exciting progress being made in church planting through Virginia Baptists’ V3 church planting movement. Led by JR Woodward, National Director, V3 Church Planting Movement, Virginia Baptist Mission Board. Discipleship Huddles Room 106 In addressing the discipleship crisis in the American church, Dallas Willard commented, “Every church needs to a) have a plan for making disciples, and b) know if their plan works”. A discipleship movement has taken root in Virginia where people are learning how to disciple people well like Jesus did, how to make disciples who can turn around and make more disciples. Learn about this Biblicallybased process that can be quickly grasped and easily explained to others, where people are re-engaging with effective discipleship, leaders are re-imagining the church’s future, and the church is re-connecting in its community. Led by Laura McDaniel, Spence Network; and Brian Adams, Uptick alum and Pastor of Youth, West Hampton Baptist Church. What Could Your Church Do With A Million Dollars? Room 107 Learn about how your church can explore the possibilities of a million dollar future through church endowments and legacy gifts. Led by Billy Burford, Consultant, Church-Clergy Admin Services, LLC (CCAS). Small Church, Big Difference Room 108 Learn how to increase your community impact through developing young adults into influential missional leaders. Led by Welford Orrock, Kairos Initiative Coordinator, Virginia Baptist Mission Board, and panel. #Going Social: Leveraging Social Media for Ministry Growth Room 109 People around the world are talking. They are connecting each day—online—through social media. Corporations around the world recognize the power of social media and are leveraging it to reach customers though platforms such as blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Why can’t churches do the same thing? Christianity has the greatest message to deliver; yet churches struggle to share it. Come hear Terrace Crawford, author of #Going Social: A Practical Guide for Church Leaders, as he provides crucial insights to help you develop an effective social media strategy with real-life examples of ministries and leaders who are using media in powerful ways. Reimagine your social media presence and successfully connect with your church and your world. Constitution/Bylaws Conference Room A Learn more about the new BGAV structure and Constitution/Bylaws that will be voted on Wednesday morning. Presented by the VBMB Constitution/Bylaws Committee: Darrell Foster, Beth Fogg, and Dick Bidwell. Fresh Expressions Conference Room B Have you heard about fresh expressions of church and wondered what all the excitement is about? You will learn what you and your church can do to engage people far from God—people unlikely ever to come to your church no matter how well you are doing things. The workshop will be practical, engaging and requires no previous understanding of Fresh Expressions. Presented by Chris Backert, National Director, Fresh Expressions US and the Fresh Expressions Team, Virginia Baptist Mission Board. Dream Year Conference Room C Ben Arment has launched a variety of creative projects, including The Whiteboard Sessions, STORY, Meet At The Movie and a coaching organization called Dream Year.

Sponsored by Averett University – Big Dreams, Bold Futures. January Bible Study by LifeWay: Deuteronomy: Conference Room D A Challenge to a New Generation This January Bible Study identifies ways God continues to call His people to be set apart and holy, reflecting His character. The Book of Deuteronomy records Moses’ final messages to the people of Israel as they prepare to move into the Promised Land. He presented a challenge to a new generation of Israelites who had not experienced the Egyptian captivity or God’s miraculous acts of deliverance on their behalf (that generation died during the wilderness wandering). God is presented as being compassionate to His people, while calling them to live a life that reflects His character. Moses warned the Hebrews of the consequences of failing to follow God’s standards. Led by Bob Moore, Pastor, Bonsack Baptist Church, Roanoke. BREAKOUT SESSION #2: 3:15 P.M. – 4:15 P.M. Ignite Your Spiritual Imagination: BTSR presents the St. John’s Bible Room 102 Smithsonian Magazine calls the St. John’s Bible “one of the most extraordinary undertakings of our time.” Come experience the first hand-written, illuminated Bible produced in over 500 years and learn how you can share this amazing resource with members of your congregation. Led by Tracy Hartman, Professor of Homeletics & Practical Theology, Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond. Challenges to Free Expression of Religion in the US Room 103 There is tremendous freedom to exercise religion in this country. Sometimes school or government officials discriminate against Christians or minority religions because of misinformation, overcautiousness, or prejudice. What experiences do people have of this discrimination and how can we help overcome this? Presented by the Religious Liberty Committee. In the Eye of the Storm Room 104 Join us for first-hand accounts of how our Baptist brothers and sisters across the globe are creating “calm” in the midst of the horrific storms of wars, epidemics, famine and health concerns. Virginia Baptists are engaged and responsive in many of these crises alongside our partners, and we need to hear their story so that we can continue to be the effective and responsible hands and feet of Christ. Presenters include Otniel (Oti) Bunaciu (European Baptist Federation president); Emile Sam-Peal (Liberia); Emmanuel Mustapha (Ghana); and video from many pastors in Syria, Iraq, Iran, and other locations. Presented by the Glocal Missions Team, Virginia Baptist Mission Board. Navigating Together Room 105 With the church sailing though the rapids of fast cultural change, explore how missions education, support, involvement and camping experiences can bolster your missional discipleship and even grow your church! This session is designed with the small church in mind. Presented by Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia. Discipleship Huddles Room 106 In addressing the discipleship crisis in the American church, Dallas Willard commented, “Every church needs to a) have a plan for making disciples, and b) know if their plan works”.

Room 107 Learn about how your church can explore the possibilities of a million dollar future through church endowments and legacy gifts. Led by Billy Burford, Consultant, Church-Clergy Admin Services, LLC (CCAS). New Methods for New Realities: Children and Youth Ministry Ideas for Today Room 108 There was a time when you could plan an activity for children and the reward was new families attending your church. There was a time when in order to get youth to attend church, you just had to offer free pizza. Times have changed. We can lament the emptier Sunday School classes, the lack of volunteers, the Sunday morning worship attendance count, and the list could go on. Or we can learn how to assess the situation and find new ways of doing ministry—effective ministry—that we never thought possible. Attend this session to hear from a panel of ministers and lay leaders who are offering new and effective ministry strategies for children, youth, and their families. Led by Charity Roberson, Equipping Coach, Virginia Baptist Mission Board, and panel. #Going Social: Leveraging Social Media for Ministry Growth Room 109 People around the world are talking.

Sponsored by Averett University – Big Dreams, Bold Futures. Smyth & Helwys Bible Study: Ezekiel Conference Room D The book of Ezekiel reflects a degree of literary coherence unmatched in the canon of biblical prophets. Organized around three major visions of God, the book tells the story of God’s final attempt as their only legitimate king to claim the loyalty of his subjects, the rebellious and recalcitrant house of Israel. The prophet Ezekiel plays a key role in this campaign. In both vision and symbolic act, Ezekiel is so closely identified with divine judgment that his life becomes a mirror of the judgment itself. His first vision gives him a glimpse of the cosmos under the rule of God and inaugurates him into his role as a prophet, a visible sign of the power of God. As the book unfolds, the prophet will see visions, the people will see the prophet, and both spectacles will demonstrate without a doubt that Yahweh is the God of Israel. Led by William T. Melton, Hampton Roads, School of Ministry, Site Coordinator and a faculty member at Leland Center for Theological Studies. A New Way to Transition Ballrooms ABCD Congregations are finding that old patterns of managing ministerial transitions are not adequate for the demands of the 21st century. Come and hear about an innovative new collaborative ministry between Virginia Baptist Mission Board staff and the Center for Healthy Churches to help BGAV churches as they navigate transitions in the life of the church. Led by Bill Wilson, Center for Healthy Churches. 18 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Special Guests “Sail Fast: Navigate the Unknown” Gary Nelson Ga G Gary is President of Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto (as of July 1, 2010).

David Bailey & The Arrabon Band David Bailey is a speaker and producer who has spent the past decade using music as a tool in the reconciliation process. He is an active worship leader and presenter at national and international conferences. His specialty is in leading multi-cultural worship, equipping Christian communities with the tools needed to connect diverse people and cultures. The Arrabon Band is a collaboration between gifted singers, songwriters, and musicians committed to see the Kingdom of God be seen on earth as it is in heaven through multicultural worship. They lead worship at various conferences throughout the year and annually host a concert in March featuring new music. Tim Timmons C Christian recording artist Tim Timmons writes and records songs that challenge and inspire. In a voice both earnest and compelling, Timmons isn’t afraid to rattle the status quo and encourage those in the church to examine themselves and their posture with Jesus. “I want to spend my time talking to believers and inviting them to a place where they can own their response to Jesus. Most times when we stand and sing worship songs to God, we honestly don’t connect with the emotion of words. w But, if we stop and think of three things we are grateful for, or a make mak a mental list of our worries and then cast it all on Jesus as we worship Him, we can own our response to Him. And it is within this simple exercise, that the power of the Spirit lies.” Discover more about Tim and his music at www.timmonsmusic.com. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 19 Program Personnel “Sail Fast: Navigate the Unknown” Adams, Brian Anderson, Fred Bailey, David Bidwell, Dick Brill, Paul Bunaciu, Oti Burnes, Norman Carlton, Dan Carpenter, Robert Clemmons, Joyce Fisher, Ed Fogg, Beth Foster, Darrell Gibson, Charles Green, Brenda Hale, Rod Harrison, Chuck Hastings, Brenda Hastings, Sammy Inman, Richard Lawson, Brenden McBride, Tamara McDearis, Tommy Miller, Tom Mullins, Jennifer Nelson, Gary Nethery, Steve Orrock, Welford Peppler, David Prillaman, Nichole Rasor, Jeremy Roberts, Betty Rose, Rupert Tommey, Blake Uebel, Nic Upton, John Via, Sandy Washburn, David Wolfe, Kathy 20 Program Committee, BGAV; Pastor of Youth, West Hampton Church, Hampton Clerk, BGAV; Executive Director, Virginia Baptist Historical Society and the Center for Baptist Heritage and Studies; River Road Church, Richmond Worship Leader; Bon Air Church, Richmond Parliamentarian, BGAV; Bon Air Church, Richmond Program Committee, BGAV; Associate Pastor, Ox Hill Church, Chantilly President, European Baptist Federation; Baptist Union of Romania Chair, Committee on Boards and Committee, BGAV; Bon Air Church, Richmond Chair, Program Committee, BGAV; Culpeper Church, Culpeper CAPT (sel) CHC, USNR; Pastor, Wilroy Church, Suffolk Memorial Committee, BGAV; First Church, Richmond Program Committee, Second Vice-President, BGAV Parliamentarian, BGAV; Upper Merion Baptist Church, King of Prussia, PA Parliamentarian, BGAV; King’s Grant Church, Virginia Beach Memorial Committee, BGAV; Huguenot Road Church, Richmond Memorial Committee, BGAV; Ironbridge Church, Chester Memorial Committee, BGAV; Huguenot Road Church, Richmond Chair; Budget Committee, BGAV; Crossroads Community Church, Danville Program Committee, BGAV; Shiloh Church, King George Guitarist; Shiloh Church, King George Program Committee, BGAV; Pastor, Atlantic Church, Atlantic Program Committee, BGAV; Minister of Youth, James River Church, Williamsburg Memorial Committee, BGAV; East End Church, Suffolk President, BGAV; Senior Pastor, Blacksburg Church, Blacksburg Memorial Committee, BGAV; Huguenot Road Church, Richmond Virginia Baptist Collegiate Minister, Radford University, Radford Featured Speaker; President, Tyndale University College and Seminary, Toronto, Canada Program Committee, BGAV; Pastor, Horizon Community Church, Chesapeake Kairos Initiative Coordinator and Metro Richmond Collegiate Ministries Coordinator, VBMB; Second Church, Richmond Chair, Memorial Committee, BGAV; Graceland Church, Powhatan Missions Volunteer Coordinator, VBMB; Bon Air Baptist Church @ The Village, Richmond Program Committee, BGAV; Blacksburg Church, Blacksburg Memorial Committee, BGAV; Zion Baptist Church, Parksley Chair, Resolutions Committee, BGAV; Monument Heights, Richmond Virginia Baptist Collegiate Minister, University of Virginia, Charlottesville Virginia Baptist Collegiate Minister, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond Executive Director; BGAV and VBMB; President, Baptist World Alliance; Bon Air Church, Richmond Program Committee, BGAV; Central Church, Richmond Treasurer, BGAV and VBMB; First Church, Waynesboro Memorial Committee, BGAV; Rose Hill First Church, Rose Hill 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Special Events “Sail Fast: Navigate the Unknown” Monday, November 10, 2014 Virginia Baptist Youth Ministers Association (VBYMA) Smithfield Baptist Church, Smithfield 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Speaker: Rev.

The Committee has chosen the theme, “Sail Fast, Navigate the Unknown.” This reflects the excitement of Virginia Baptists exploring together a vibrant future. We are focused on the scripture found in Hebrews 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” We invite all messengers and our churches to join us on this “faith filled” journey. Our speakers this year were chosen to help us think about how to navigate the unknown. Gary Nelson is the President of Tyndale University College and General Secretary of Canadian Baptist Ministries. His most recent book is Borderland Churches: A Congregation’s Introduction to Missional Living. His ministry and his work demonstrate a faith journey into the unknown so we are excited about what he will share with us. Otniel Bunaciu is president of European Baptist Federation. He will participate in a panel discussion with Gary Nelson and John Upton on Tuesday night that will help us navigate the unknown in terms of how God is moving across cultures. We have also asked John Upton to share a vision for our journey together and he will do that on Tuesday morning. We are excited to have David Bailey & the Arrabon Band to lead us in worship. David is a Virginia Baptist and has led us well in multiple Virginia Baptist events over the years. We added an opening concert this year on Monday night with Tim Timmons and David Bailey & the Arrabon Band. As always we covet your prayers for our meeting. As you fill out your evaluations this year we ask that you think about the future of the BGAV meeting and help us create a vibrant meeting that will include all generations. The Program Committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That the program, as printed, be adopted as the agenda of the 2014 meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia. 2. That times on the program are indicated merely as guidance. 3. That in order to expedite discussion, debate on all matters will be limited to three minutes per speaker, and that speakers, pro and con, be alternated. 4.

Whereas, Randall’s two careers as local church minister and retirement community administrator builds on studies at the University of South Florida and at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary with master of divinity and doctor of ministry degrees as well as upon specialized pastoral care training at North Carolina Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill. Whereas, Randall served churches in North Carolina and came to Virginia as senior minister of Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington from 1976 until 1990. He became deeply involved in the life and leadership of the Virginia Baptist family, serving in varied Mount Vernon Baptist Association roles and then in the Baptist General Association of Virginia as First Vice President, providing leadership for the Executive, Budget, Program, Services, and State Missions Offering Committees. Additionally, Randall contributed to the lesson series in the Religious Herald and has served in lay leadership responsibilities at Culpeper Baptist Church. Whereas, Randall also helped set the pace as Vice Chair of the trustees for Virginia Baptist Homes from 1987 until he became president in 1993. With the maturation of the Homes’ ministry into a respected caregiving corporation at Culpeper Baptist Retirement Community, Lakewood Manor in Richmond, and The Chesapeake in Newport News, Randall and staff leaders have assured that the founders’ core values have been preserved. Additionally, the facilities and services have been expanded during Randall’s term of service, including the establishment of The Glebe in the Roanoke Valley. “Dignity in Living” has remained the mission of the Homes’ family of staff leaders and residents. Therefore Be It Resolved, that we, the elected members of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board meeting on October 7, 2014, convey our deep appreciation to Randall Robinson for faithful and creative service to the Virginia Baptist Homes, Inc. and throughout the entire Virginia Baptist family, and we pledge our prayers for him and his family, and Be It Further Resolved, that we ask the messengers of the Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia on November 11, 2014, in Hampton Roads to extend our thanks to God for the life and ministry of Randall Robinson. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 37 Resolution of Appreciation Jerry Jones Jerry Jones has announced his retirement as Team Leader for the Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board on April 30, 2014 after twelve years of service. Whereas, born on a Navajo reservation in northwestern New Mexico’s Land of Enchantment, served as a missionary amid the alpine vistas of Austria, and led creative missions outreach from the Virginia Baptist family to the entire globe, Jerry has become a citizen of the world, the world God loved so much that He gave His Son to redeem it. Whereas, Jerry’s gateways to the world have revolved around missions and music. His first portal was Dora, New Mexico, a diverse community along the Texas border where he worked in his dad’s grocery store and on his grandfather’s dairy farm. Dora Baptist Church’s ministry for Royal Ambassadors began expanding his worldview. While studying music education at Eastern New Mexico University, Jerry served as a BSU summer missionary in Grundy, Virginia and in Germany and Switzerland. Later, he fulfilled a two-year journeyman assignment in Salzburg, Austria. Whereas, gifted in music, Jerry became minister of music during high school and college at Dora Baptist and Tatum Baptist Churches in New Mexico. His musical calling took him on an educational journey to an undergraduate degree from Eastern New Mexico University in education and music, a master of church music degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and additional studies in music at Virginia Commonwealth University, the alma mater of his heart. Jerry’s journey brought him to Second Baptist Church in Richmond as minister of music, along with other similar congregational posts, and to Austria where he did stellar work as a music missionary for seventeen years. Whereas, Jerry’s team leadership in glocal missions since 2002 has opened doors for the Virginia Baptist family and for the worldwide Baptist community. Around the world, Jerry’s gentle spirit, quick smile, and warm faith have created those instant friendships that have made “partner” a distinctive element in Virginia Baptist’s partnership missions relationships. Therefore Be It Resolved, that we, the elected members of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, meeting on October 7, 2014, express our gratitude to Jerry Jones for his remarkable service to God and Virginia Baptists, and we pledge our continued prayers for Jerry, his wife Jenny, and their family, and Be It Further Resolved that, we ask the messengers of the Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia on November 11, 2014, in Hampton Roads to affirm the life and ministry of Jerry Jones. 38 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Partnership Mission Covenant between the Baptist General Association of Virginia and Gardner-Webb University A Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision Agreement Between BAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA & GARDNER-WEBB UNIVERSITY I. Prologue This Covenant is established by the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and Gardner-Webb University for the purpose of clarifying and affirming the relationship between each as they seek to fulfill the Great Commission through shared commitments and cooperative ministry while at the same time maintaining the independence and distinct character of each. A brief history of the relationship... Gardner-Webb’s journey from a boarding high school to a thriving regional University is marked by remarkable growth, great determination, and unyielding perseverance. In 1903, the Kings Mountain and Sandy Run Baptist Associations conceived a vision of an institution of learning where young students would enjoy “the best possible educational advantages under distinctive Christian influence.” On December 2, 1905, the Boiling Springs High School, Gardner-Webb’s predecessor, was chartered. Even today, the University’s relationship with area churches is still strong. The institution was transformed into a junior college in 1928, and only survived the catastrophic Great Depression through God’s providential grace and the tireless efforts of numerous trustees and local champions of Christian education. Then in 1942, N.C. Governor and Shelby native O. Max Gardner began devoting time and energy toward strengthening and guiding the College. In recognition of his efforts, those of his wife, Fay Webb Gardner, and their families, the school’s name was changed to Gardner-Webb College. The institution officially became Gardner-Webb University in January 1993, and in 2001—four years shy of its centennial—the University began offering its first doctorate (Doctor of Ministry). Today, Gardner-Webb offers a host of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, including four doctoral programs in ministry, educational leadership, curriculum and instruction, and nursing practice. The university has reaffirmed its commitment to the guiding principles of faith, service, and leadership, and to preparing graduates for lives of lasting impact, “For God and Humanity.” Gardner-Webb University continues to affiliate on a mutually voluntary basis with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina and has added the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship national to our list of partners. The university welcomes the opportunity to foster a partnership with the BGAV as we seek the mutual advance of our Lord’s Kingdom. This Partnership Mission Covenant is birthed out of a desire to work together to fulfill the Great Commission and because of the mutual and supportive benefit gained by establishing a relationship between the BGAV and Gardner-Webb University. It is important that this Covenant establish the intersection of the values, mission, and vision of each entity as the foundation for partnering together 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 39 through more specific means. This is accomplished first by each entity stating its values, mission, and vision, and secondly by the entities working together to build their covenant around the values, mission, and vision shared in common. For the purpose of this Covenant, values are defined as those guiding principles established by an organization that help frame major decision-making processes, the formation of strategic direction, and the development of human and financial resources. Mission is a unique and succinct statement of purpose that frames the actions of the organization around several key components. Vision is that driving, motivating, God-given view of the future that moves an organization toward specific goals and that seeks to bring others along on the journey. Vision can be described through a delineation of major emphases, new strategic initiatives, and/or the development and targeting of key resources. II. The Values, Mission, and Vision of the Baptist General Association of Virginia Values In November, 1995 during annual session the Baptist General Association of Virginia adopted the following values: • Centrality of Christ • Authority of Holy Scripture • Priesthood of Believers • Soul Competency • Religious Liberty • Separation of Church and State • Autonomy of the Local Church • Believers Baptism • Respect for Persons • Intellectual Integrity • Cooperative Spirit • Compassion for Unbelievers • Responsiveness to a Changing World Mission Since 1823 the Baptist General Association of Virginia has pursued its mission as stated in the purpose statement of the BGAV Constitution and Bylaws: The object of the General Association shall be to furnish the Baptist churches of Virginia a medium of cooperation for the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the advancement of the Redeemer’s Kingdom by all methods in accord with the Word of God. There shall be full recognition of the autonomy of the local churches. Vision In a special called meeting in May, 2002 and in the annual meeting of November, 2002 the Baptist General Association of Virginia adopted a challenging new vision for the future. “Kingdom Advance: Partners in a New Vision” is a comprehensive strategy of the churches of the Baptist General Association of Virginia in cooperation with Kingdom partners in Virginia, the United States, and around the world. Unlike many visions and associated strategies from the past, “Kingdom Advance” goes beyond the ministry and work of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board and seeks to involve all Virginia ministry partners in advancing the Redeemer’s Kingdom. 40 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS “Kingdom Advance” outlines four major thrusts: Empowering Leaders emphasizes the matching of ministers and churches so that they might serve boldly the cause of Christ; the modeling of wellness for the church, its ministers, and Christian families; and developing leaders, both lay and clergy, for the church. Key strategies include developing assessment and placement tools in order to better match ministers and churches; intensified efforts to assimilate new ministers to Virginia Baptist life, leadership development cooperatives that provide specialized training and continuing education in multiple locations though linkages with ministry partners; and supportive ministries to prevent “burn-out” among ministers and their families. Emerging Leaders is a vision for identifying new leaders for church leadership, both lay and clergy, young and old, on campuses and at places of employment; equipping them for service through special training experiences and through mentoring relationships; and deploying them to places of service for “hands-on” learning of practical skills. Key strategies include “call-out” events at church, associational, and statewide levels; the ongoing program of campus ministry on Virginia’s college campuses; the creation of “greenhouse” events where emerging leaders are challenged to grow through intense learning experiences; the development of coaching and mentoring networks for new leaders; and the creating of internships in local church and denominational ministry. Glocal Missions & Evangelism is an overall mission strategy of going to places where the Gospel is needed, both locally and globally, caring for emotional, social, physical, and spiritual needs; and educating future generations of mission leaders. Key strategies include the deployment of missions volunteers to serve alongside our missions partners locally and around the world; the deployment of Kingdom Advance Ambassadors and a flexible, mobile missions force, supporting caring ministry at the local church level and through joint efforts of ministry on a larger scale; and providing missions education opportunities through classroom and “hands-on” experiences. Courageous Churches seeks to create a movement where Christians and churches go beyond being healthy to being courageous in evangelizing the lost through church planting and evangelistic outreach; discipling believers to become bold Christians; and visioning a new future for the church and its ministry as often as a changing community and God demands. Key strategies include the provision of resources and supportive networks for church planters and new congregations; training in evangelism, Bible study, discipleship development, worship leadership, and church growth; concentrated efforts at church revitalization and community transformation through an intensive covenant process; financial partnering with churches seeking to become courageous; and through matching assistance for significant discipleship and outreach projects. III. The Values, Mission, and Vision of Gardner-Webb University Values Christian Heritage Acknowledging One God - Creator and Sustainer of life, and Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; committing to self-giving service displayed in Christ-like moral action that respects the dignity and value of every person. Baptist Heritage Affirming historic Baptist values such as the freedom of individual conscience and the right of people to worship God as they choose, the authority of Scripture in matters of faith and practice, the priesthood of every believer, the autonomy of the local church, and the separation of church and state. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 41 Academic Excellence Encouraging visible enthusiasm for knowledge, intellectual challenge, continuous learning, and scholarly endeavors; inviting pursuit of educational opportunities within and beyond the classroom for the joy of discovery; and inspiring accomplishment within one’s field of study. Liberal Arts Offering broad-based exposure to the arts, humanities and sciences and to each field’s unique challenges, contributions, and life lessons; complementing the acquisition of career-related knowledge and skills with well-rounded knowledge of self, others, and society. Teamwork Working collaboratively to support and promote shared goals, assuming responsibility willingly, meeting commitments dependably, handling disagreement constructively, and persevering despite distraction and adversity. Student-Centered Focus Providing students an environment that fosters intellectual and spiritual growth; encourages physical fitness, service, social and cultural enrichment; strengthens and develops moral character; and respects the value and individuality of every student. Community Engagement Assisting campus, local, national, and global communities through education, outreach, and research; fostering dialogue and action in support of human welfare and environmental stewardship. Diversity Studying and celebrating our world’s rich mix of cultures, ideologies, and ethnicities; respecting and welcoming students without regard to ethnicity, gender, religious commitment, national origin, or disability. Mission Gardner-Webb University, a private, Christian, Baptist-related university, provides outstanding undergraduate and graduate education that is strongly grounded in the liberal arts while offering opportunities to prepare for various professions. Fostering meaningful intellectual thought, critical analysis, and spiritual challenge within a diverse community of learning, Gardner-Webb is dedicated to higher education that integrates scholarship with Christian life.

IV. Our Covenant Together The Baptist General Association of Virginia and Gardner-Webb University therefore affirm their voluntary, mutual and supportive relationship by means of the following shared values, mission, and vision.

At the heart of the V3 movement is the understanding that we serve a triune missionary God, who has sent us into the world to bless people and seek transformation. • Fresh Expressions US (FX): FX works to establish new faith communities or congregations especially for those who have never been involved in church (un-churched) or people who once were part of a church, but left for whatever reason (de-churched). While a fresh expression of church might look different, they are best conceived and orchestrated in partnership with established churches. • Semillas de Mostaza (Semillas): Semillas facilitate Latino communities of faith led by leaders willing to invest their time and talents to expand God’s Kingdom. Semillas purpose is to reach the unchurched and share the Good News of the Gospel with those looking for a closer, transformational communion with God. • Christian Community Development (CCD): CCD challenges, equips and connects local churches in “seeking the peace of the city.” CCD promotes conversation and provides education to increase the effectiveness of existing community ministries or help in the discernment and development of new ventures reaching under-resourced communities and addressing the social issues that impact them. • Kingdom Partners (KP): KP seeks to network faith-kin with shared missions-and-freedom callings by connecting them strategically with the Virginia Baptist family in creative affinity relationships. KP seeks to discover God-sized surprises and opportunities at the fringes of His advancing Kingdom. The Courageous Churches team provides funding resources to partnering churches through the: Timothy Fund, Cornelius Fund, and Barnabas Fund.

The team members bring a wealth of experience, excellence, and integrity to these ministries that seek to empower the pastoral leaders and lay leaders in our congregations. The ministries of this team include: • Connection– A significant part of the ministry of our Field Strategists is connecting to pastors and leaders. Our field strategists invest an enormous amount of time visiting and serving our local congregations in their region. Besides these personal visits and contacts, affinity groups have been established for pastors and program staff members to provide another level of relationship. We provide coaching opportunities that allow us to come alongside the pastor and lay leaders of a congregation as they are seeking to live out their Kingdom story. • Pastor search process – The Empowering Leaders Team is committed to helping churches and ministerial candidates make connections that are meaningful and powerful for the work of the Kingdom. We assist with the training of Pastor Selection Committees and staff search committees. We also provide another level of service through our matching process for candidates and churches at www.ministermatching.com. This website allows us to connect churches and candidates who generally match theologically and common interests. • Leadership development – The team also sees developing congregations and key leaders as an important strategy. Our goal is to provide practical, high-quality training for pastoral leaders and lay leaders through our cooperative efforts with our ministry partners, including our Virginia Baptist schools, local churches, and district associations. The Christian Leaders Link is an example of a leadership initiative that impacts the pastors and lay leaders in the Southwest corridor. We also sponsor the annual Leadership Gathering at Eagle Eyrie and look for key conferences and leadership events to connect pastors and leaders. Also, as a part of leadership effectiveness, we assist ministers and churches in designing good financial strategies, including insurance and retirement benefits, through our relationship with GuideStone. This team also assists with ongoing Bible study and discipleship, worship and church music, deacon ministry, and other practical church ministry. Recently, coach training events have also been held to help pastors and lay people learn the benefits of life and leadership coaching. • Missional effectiveness – The team provides a cadre of services that seek to help the church as it seeks to be serving on mission in their community. In this missional environment, church and ministerial health are critical needs. We have developed unique partnerships with groups who focus on the health of the minister and his family. Annually, we also provide Minister’s Family Retreat as a place for ministers and their families to find a respite from the rigors of ministry life. We will be seeking ways to help churches through coaching and consulting relationships to claim their missional journey. Presently, the Empowering Leaders Team consists of nine field staff and three administrative support persons.

As the committee does its work, it is guided by two primary commitments. First, we are committed to finding persons of exceptional gifts and knowledge suited to the cause of the respective appointments. Second, we strive to achieve a sense of balance in terms of region, gender, church size, denominational affiliation, and laity or clergy. This goal was achieved by inviting input from Baptists all over the Commonwealth via a “nominee recommendation form” published in Advance Notice and posted on the Virginia Baptist Mission Board web site. Further, we solicited suggestions from Directors of Missions, local associations, ministers, and others. Finally, we also took into consideration the suggestions made by our various partner agencies, schools, and institutions, who brought recommendations of persons who have the demonstrated interest and commitment needed by their board. The Committee is grateful to all those who helped us in the work of identifying nominees. With gratitude for your suggestions, and after much prayer and due diligence, the Committee on Boards and Committees brings to you the names of the many dedicated Virginia Baptists listed in this report for nomination to the boards of agencies, institutions, schools, and to service on the standing committees of our Association. The Committee moves that this report be adopted and we ask that you give them your supportive prayers and cooperation.

In 2010, the Christian Life Committee report to the BGAV addressed the issue of immigration. Since that time, these issues have continued to draw a great deal of attention in the media, in political circles, in the lives of individuals, and as opportunities for ministry. Today, the resolution of how to address issues related to immigration is even more critical and urgent than it was four years ago. According to the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends Project, an estimated 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants live in the United States as of March 2013. With the recent arrival of thousands of children coming to the country illegally from Central America, what should be the attitude of Christians in general and Virginia Baptists in particular toward persons involved in illegal immigration into the country? Immigration continues to draw a great deal of attention, and millions of lives are directly affected by the decisions that are made. This year, the Christian Life Committee will again address the issue of immigration. The BGAV has the opportunity to minister to immigrants and to those whose lives are affected by immigration. The members of the BGAV each have voices to contribute to the larger societal conversation of how to respond to the needs and desires of those who would be immigrants. A recent political cartoon posed the familiar question “WWJD,” which usually asks “What Would Jesus Do?” This cartoon, however, asked, “Who Would Jesus Deport?” It is the hope of the committee that this report will spurn conversations, prayers, and actions of the members of the BGAV as we seek to advance the Kingdom of God through all that we do, including our response to immigration. Families As Christians, we proclaim to the world that serious commitment to family is important. We seek to provide a witness that marriage vows should be taken seriously, that we should honor our parents and grandparents, and that we should raise our children with love, discipline, and respect. We believe that loving God is of paramount importance, and that loving our families is part of the way that we love God. Our teachings and beliefs about the importance of family should influence our attitudes and actions on the issue of immigration. Recent events such as the thousands of children from Central America who entered the United States illegally over the past year, without a parent or guardian, have the potential of being a humanitarian crisis. It should be noted that many of these children have relatives living in the United States. Many questions have been raised as to what should be the responsibility of the government, the state or the church, regardless of denomination, toward the care of these children. However, some would advocate that the children should be returned to their own country. As Virginia Baptists, what do you think? Caring for the vulnerable Immigration provides a lens for us to examine how we treat the most vulnerable among us. Many churches and ministry organizations have identified opportunities to carry out the gospel among immigrants. Many immigrants are in difficult financial situations, and have trouble providing for themselves and for their families. Churches and other ministry groups have found opportunities to provide food, shelter, furniture, assistance with learning the language, job training, coaching, childcare, an opportunity to find a sense of community, and all sorts of other ministries. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 79 These ministries have allowed churches to minister to the physical needs of vulnerable people, introduce those people to the loving fellowship of the body of Christ, and share with them the saving message of the gospel. People from all over the world, in all sorts of situations, have been introduced to Jesus Christ through immigration ministries and through the work of dedicated individuals. As we respond to various aspects of the situations surrounding immigration, we are presented with many opportunities, both large and small, to live out the gospel call to show love and compassion to those who are hungry, hurting, and in need. Justice As Christians, we are called to work for justice. We should work to change laws that treat people unfairly, and we should work within the system when the system is arranged in such a way as to bring about the most beneficial outcome for everyone. The call to seek justice is foundational in our faith. In the Old Testament book of Leviticus, we read, “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:33-34 (NIV). Until a comprehensive immigration policy is adopted by the United States Congress, undocumented immigrants, including thousands of children will be in legal limbo, unable to function freely in our society, make plans for their future or contribute in meaningful ways to the betterment of society. As Christians, we are called to seek justice in the US. We are also called to seek justice around the world. Much of the immigration crisis stems from the injustice of difficult situations that force people out of other countries. Refugees from war torn lands seek safety here and in other counties. People who are persecuted for their race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, political affiliations, or because of other factors seek freedom and fair treatment. Others seek to escape the fear and control of criminals, corrupt systems, or situations and areas that seem economically hopeless. Part of a long-term strategy of immigration reform should also seek to address some of the issues of injustice that are forcing some individuals out of their homes. Human Trafficking Human trafficking may be defined as “the trade in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others, or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy and ova removal; or for providing a spouse in the context of forced marriage. Human trafficking can occur within a country or transnationally. Human Trafficking is a crime against the person because of the violation of the victims rights of movement through coercion and because of their commercial exploitation. Human trafficking is the trade in people and does not necessarily involve the movement of the person from one place to another. Human Trafficking represents an estimated $31.6 billion of international trade per annum in 2010. Human Trafficking is thought to be one of the fastest growing activities of transnational criminal organizations.” (Wikipedia on line, Google.com 2010) Human trafficking is a civil rights crime in direct violation of the 13th amendment of the United States Constitution, which abolished slavery in 1865. Human trafficking is defined as compelling or coercing another person’s labor or services (including commercial sex). Coercion can be subtle or overt; physical or psychological and it need not involve movement or smuggling. 80 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Generally speaking, there are two types of trafficking. First is sex trafficking, in which individuals are forced into prostitution by force, fraud or coercion. Minors, especially female children, are promised money and a better life that is never delivered. Second, is labor trafficking, in which people are forced into labor, through force, fraud, or coercion. Adults and minors are forced to work in difficult conditions with promises of better lives and high wages that are never realized. It should be noted here that human trafficking is not smuggling. Smuggling involves consent on the part of the individual being smuggled illegally from one country to another. The individual premeditates or takes an active part in his desire to move, illegally from one country to another with the aid of another individual who serves as a active accomplice to plan and carry out the crime. Human trafficking, however, does not involve the consent of the person or victim. The victim is removed by force, fraud or coercion form one place to another without his/her consent. The person is then forced into labor or services. Human trafficking does not necessarily require the crossing of borders. It is also a domestic problem in which the victim is held captive in his or her own country. Again, this is a crime against the person, a civil crime in violation of the 13th amendment. Force is used by the perpetrator that breaks the victim’s spirit and resistance, making it easier to control the person. Once a person’s spirit is broken he or she is under the complete authority of the person or persons that have control and will do just about anything he or she is told to do. Fraud is used by perpetrators who promise large sums of money or lavish lifestyles that are never delivered. There are promises of false immigration papers, false travel documents and even signed contracts for legitimate work that likewise are never delivered. Further, there is often a misrepresentation of specific jobs and the conditions under which the person is to perform the work. That work is usually performed under deplorable conditions. Coercion is easily accomplished in very poor countries where the population has poor relations with law enforcement and in some cases law enforcement is corrupt. Coercion is easily exacted upon the homeless, substance abusers, the mentally challenged, uneducated, across cultural barriers, and on those who have had bad experiences with their legal systems. Victims of human trafficking as listed above are likely illegal immigrants so they are trapped on both sides of the law. If they are illegally in the country in which they have been taken, they cannot go to the authorities for fear of deportation. If they protest their situation to the perpetrator they will likely face severe consequences, including death. These victims are lead to believe that any debts they incur are their obligation to repay, and they may even sign contracts to that effect. They view their situation as temporary, surviving on the hope that once their debt is paid off or a certain amount of time has passed, they will be free. Is there hope for these victims? How do we locate these 21st century slaves and free them? Those that are found are located when they, themselves, complain about their situation or they walk in to a police station and seek help, or law enforcement receives a call to an incident and the victim is discovered. Victims are also found as a result of information received from churches or community service providers. (Source- Federal Bureau of Investigation, form the FBI’s Civil Rights Program, by Special Agent Judy Sykes, Virginia State Police Academy 12-20-13.) Fear is a major motivator in today’s culture and it knows no boundaries or cultural levels. When human beings are full of fear we are easily manipulated into doing or saying things we would never normally do or say. The victims referred to here are instilled with fear to the point of giving themselves to a person. That is, giving up his/her freedom and giving it to the person that makes promises he will not 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 81 deliver. The victim has given his/her liberty to another person who cares little about him/her, and the fear in the victim is so great that he/she will not seek help because of the threat of death or deportation. Some are so engulfed in fear that they don’t know how to get help. Conclusion One of the strengths of Virginia Baptists is the diversity of our thoughts. We do not all see every issue in exactly the same way. We embrace the historic Baptist principle of freedom; we do not all simply hold unexamined beliefs. We come from different places in how we see the immigration issue. Different individuals within Virginia Baptist life have had different experiences and focus on various aspects of the overarching issue of immigration. Together, we have the opportunity to increase our understanding, and to work together for the Kingdom of God. The Christian Life Committee recognizes that the status of immigrants highlights several needs in our society and presents several opportunities for the church to be at work. As we work for justice and seek to minister to those who are most vulnerable among us, let us be aware of our call to live out the message of the gospel. It is the hope of this committee that members of the BGAV will contribute their voices to this conversation, as we together prayerfully seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in each of the complex issues related to immigration. 82 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Religious Liberty Committee Official Report Religious liberty is a gift of God. Virginia Baptists did not invent it nor discover it, but it is our rich inheritance spiritually and biblically, from our Creator and from our Baptist forebears. Thomas Helwys’ advocacy for universal religious liberty and freedom of conscience for all, no matter their faith or lack thereof, and Roger Williams’ insistence on absolute religious liberty were the heritage of those early Virginia Baptists, who first organized statewide to lobby for religious liberty, free exercise of faith, and separation of the institutions of the state from those of the church. About 40 Virginia Baptists were persecuted for the practice of our faith under the establishment; this gave Virginia Baptists unique insights into the evils of established religion and the abridgement of religious liberty and, coupled with our theology, gave the impetus to Virginia Baptists’ significant roles in the passage of both the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom and the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution. Religious liberty for all, a robust view of free exercise of faith, staunch opposition to all forms of government establishment of any religion, commitment to separation of church and state, a passionate insistence upon the voluntary principle in religion, and corollary to it, opposition to all forms of coercion in matters religious, and the Golden Rule have been foundational principles for Virginia Baptists from our inception to this very day. Guided by these principles, your Religious Liberty Committee has been at work this year. Consistent with our past mission of educating Virginia Baptists about our heritage, we anticipate bringing to publication in 2015 the 2010 History Project, a booklet which will celebrate the contributions of Virginia Baptists to religious liberty. We also invested energy in planning the 2014 breakout session for this year’s annual meeting, focusing upon “Challenges to Free Expression of Religion in the US;” the session will feature an interfaith panel in the recognition that a threat to the religious liberty of any of us is a threat to the liberty of all of us. But beyond this traditional mission of educating and celebrating our heritage, the committee this year embraced an older and more historic function, that of bearing witness to the government of the Commonwealth and the larger public about religious liberty. We addressed the administration concerning legislation before it, calling for a careful balance between free exercise and nonestablishment. We prepared to represent the resolution concerning religious liberty passed at last year’s BGAV by seeking training in how to approach the legislature and the administration in order to represent Virginia Baptist perspectives and put in place protocols for speaking to these entities on behalf of the Committee and the General Association. Noting the lack of a Virginia Baptist voice among registered lobbyists to whom those in government might turn for consultation regarding matters of religious liberty, free exercise, non-establishment, and separation of church and state, we authorized Shelton Miles, our current chair, to register as a volunteer lobbyist representing us on those matters. And finally, at this year’s BGAV, we are soliciting grassroots volunteers who will through an e-mail network serve as Friends of the Religious Liberty Committee, to amplify our voice and witness as matters arise with state government. We expect this renewed emphasis upon witness to the state to occupy much of our time and attention during the coming year. Respectfully submitted, Religious Liberty Committee Richard Morris, Pam Robertson, Steve Aycock, Rick Clore, Andrew Gardner, Cynthia Shackleford, Paul Lane, Michael Poole, Shelton Miles (Chair) 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 83 Scholarships and Ministerial Education Funds Committee Official Report The Scholarships and Ministerial Education Funds Committee oversees financial awards “to further the educational development of (a) persons who are preparing for the Baptist ministry and (b) emerging leaders of all ages. (Constitution, Section C: Committees, 4, The Committee on Scholarships and Ministerial Education Funds. Eligible Virginia Baptist students may receive assistance through: • BGAV Achievement Scholarships for Academies financing education at one of the BGAVpartnering academies; • BGAV Achievement Scholarships providing aid for undergraduate education; • BGAV Ministerial Education Funds which support undergraduate or graduate education in preparation for vocational ministry; or, • BGAV Nontraditional Ministry Education Scholarships that allow individuals to capitalize on opportunities to secure training and continuing education for work in the local church. The Scholarships and Ministerial Education Funds Committee of the Baptist General Association of Virginia awarded 197 achievement scholarships, ministerial education funds, and nontraditional scholarships totaling $190,183.90 to students for the 2014-2015 academic year. (This count does not include scholarships for students attending BGAV related academies that will be announced in the fall, nor additional nontraditional applications in the fall award cycle.) These recipients represent 122 BGAV churches from 35 district associations, attending 54 institutions of higher education. Since the inception of the Scholarships and Ministerial Education Funds in 2008, a total of $1,089,872.40 has been awarded. In addition, the Educational Endowment Fund has grown to $825,326.00 (as of July 31, 2014). This endowment will continue to provide opportunities for future leaders in Virginia Baptist churches. Additional responsibilities of the Committee include: • Review of policies and current guidelines; • Ongoing discussion of futures and priorities in the support of emerging leaders; • Careful audit of our fiduciary responsibility with respect to the purposes and terms of particular endowed resources; • Tactical planning with respect to award levels and number of awards when the number of applications is increasing, as well as costs for education; • Analysis of patterns in complete and incomplete applications, schools attending, and awards per partner institutions; • Planning and evaluation of the orientation for ministerial scholarship recipients; • Assessment of mentoring relationships and post-graduation service requirements for ministerial award recipients; • Review of application procedures and forms, and providing programming updates for online applications; • Audit of scholarship recipient compliance with the terms of the award; 84 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS • Review of financial and statistical input from the Support Ministries Team; and, • Dealing with exceptional circumstances in the lives of scholarship recipients. We wish to offer our deepest appreciation: • To those who have contributed to the endowed resources of the BGAV Scholarships and Ministerial Education Funds. • For the essential, often indispensible, and unfailingly supportive contributions of the staff of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board. • To Virginia Baptists who intentionally provide for the training and education of present and future leaders of our BGAV churches. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 85 ANNUAL REPORTS of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board Virginia Baptist Mission Board Spence Network Eagle Eyrie Baptist Conference Center Camp Piankatank Virginia Baptist Mission Board John V. Upton, Jr., Executive Director It is my deep conviction that before God calls us to do something we are first called to see something and be something. We are called to be people who see the world as God sees it. We are called to discover how fully present God is in the world and how fully present he is to us. Without these encounters nothing of much importance is likely to happen. Virginia Baptists have had that encounter. We have seen God’s heart yearn for those who do not know him and who don’t even know they don’t know him. We have seen him move in churches that have lost their fire and energy. We have seen him in Ghana weeping over little ones lost to Malaria. We have seen him on college/university campuses where thousands of young people are trying to find a way but often are left only confused. We have seen God’s desire to see pastors restored to the calling that ignited their ministry but the struggles of congregational life have depleted them. We have seen young people ready to take huge risks for God but lack the mentor relationships to know how to move forward. In light of what we have seen and where we have encountered God we have been called to action. You will find in this report our response to what we have seen. To these needs, and many more, God has said, “I will send you.” The assignment is huge. We have to walk right up to the biggest challenges the church faces today and speak truth to them. Virginia Baptists have been summoned to change, to take some new risks, to venture what we never thought to venture before. This report is our way of saying, “Here we are, Lord.” It is ours to come, follow, trust, and obey and we will learn for ourselves who we will be in this new world. I know of no finer invitation than this. There is no truer freedom. We will be changed and we will help to change our world.

We rejoice that 2014 was an exciting year to do that work. The mission of the Ray and Ann Spence Network for Congregational Leadership (“Spence Network”) is to feed networks of leaders to advance Kingdom initiatives. The Spence Network is a router for networks that helps to connect Kingdom leaders with each other in order to impact the world with the Gospel. It is designed to enable fruitful exchange of innovative ministry ideas and best leadership practices. Our conviction is that there is a frustrating isolation in ministry, and that leaders and churches are hungry to be connected with each other around shared ministry affinities and initiatives. We believe that when we enable these connections, there can be “Transformation Through Sharing.” In particular, we invest in five sorts of leadership “capital:” spiritual, relational, physical, intellectual, and financial – toward the development of leaders who are first disciples of Jesus Christ. The Spence Network leadership team consists of a Board, Leader, and Network Catalyst. The Leader is supervised by the Executive Director of the BGAV and is accountable for regular reports to the Board and an annual report to the Executive Committee of the BGAV. The Board consists of Ray and Ann Spence, and 10-15 at-large members appointed by the Executive Director of the BGAV in conjunction with the Executive Committees of the VBMB and the Spence Network Board. The Executive Director of the BGAV, Executive Director of WMUV, Leader, and staff serve as ex-officio members of the Board. The Board may also invite “friends of the Board” for testimony, inquiry, or in an advisory capacity at its discretion. We invest specifically in two key types of networks: 1. “Uptick” networks of high-potential leaders – leaders aged 23-35 who have significant potential to start or lead ministries of major impact; and 2. Communities of Practice (COPs) – networks that have significant desire and opportunity to create a discipleship culture and who work together to do so. These COPs engage lay leaders in this work. We continue to work toward starting one or two new “Uptick” networks every year for the next five years. We pray that the current eighty Uptickers will soon be joined by 150 more, and that these leaders will give shape and vibrancy to Virginia Baptist life and the Kingdom of God. We are delighted that a number of Uptick alum are emerging as significant ministry leaders within the BGAV. We continue to work actively to connect them with ministry opportunities in our churches. 2014 Highlights • Completed our second “COP” – six BGAV churches in a structured one-year arc of involvement to collaborate on increasing systemic discipleship in their congregations. We are currently planning a COP involving lay leaders in the workplace. • Completed four more “Uptick” networks, including one with ten couples. This network utilized BGAV ministry couples as mentors and teachers. • Completed our first “Uptick Artist” network. This network, led by Uptick alum Rachel Schultz and Logan Jones, worked to develop a cohort of disciples who are songwriters and performers. 98 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS • Began working with skill development of women who preach in conjunction with the “Preaching Camp” of the African-American Fellowship of the BGAV. • Continued to work with the Glocal Missions and Evangelism team to launch our first “Uptick Global” network among three international Baptist World Alliance regions. We are also continuing to explore and develop opportunities to launch Uptick networks with Baptist partners in Romania, Australia, South Africa, and other nations. • Advanced our grant-writing and resource development efforts in order to build our financial base. • Continued to connect and partner with other local, national, and international networks including the Missio Alliance, 3D Ministries, Averett University, Dook Divinity School and our Baptist World Alliance family. Most of all, we enjoy working with our colleagues in WMUV and the VBMB to advance the Kingdom. • Continued to expand our social media platform on Twitter (@SpenceNetwork), Facebook, and a redesigned website. We said “goodbye” and thank you to several board members whose terms of service have completed: Ron Hall of the Virginia Baptist Foundation, Eric Reiser of Columbia Baptist Church, and Fred Hall of Derbyshire Baptist Church. Their contributions have been invaluable. We welcome incoming board members Paul Maconochie of Sheffield, England, Robbie Yeaman of Chestnut Grove Baptist Church, and Freddy Villareal of Freedom Life Church in Hampton. Financially, the Spence Network is supported by Virginia Baptists through funding its staff via the Virginia Baptist Mission Board. Operational expenses for Spence Network gatherings are paid through donor investment. There is an endowment of $657,809.56 (as of 9/30/2014) with donor stipulations that allow Spence Network usage of interest income once the endowment reaches $600,000. We continue to seek to attract investors who will give us the opportunity to fuel existing and new networks. We continue to look forward with joy to the exciting challenge of helping Virginia Baptists to do together what we cannot do alone! “Transformation Through Sharing.” “Let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25) 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 99 Eagle Eyrie Baptist Conference Center Rodney B.

This year was no different with over 50 campers accepting Christ for the first time, numerous others renewing their faith, and still more committing to sharing their faith when they go home. • The new program “True North Land” taught campers basic outdoor/survival skills like how to build a shelter, orienteering, and how to build a fire. The “True North Water” program taught campers basic water skills along with the outdoor skills. We had over 30 campers try out this new program every week of camp, and they all had a great time. • Our theme for this summer was “Made New,” and the theme verse is 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” We had six full weeks of camp for campers ages 10-17, one two night mini camp for campers ages 7-9, our Father/Son Weekend, and our Mother/Daughter Weekend. We have numerous tracks, including sailing, fishing, and horseback riding. With so many traditional camp activities, campers are never bored here at camp. We served over 430 campers this summer, which is about the same as last summer. • One of the things that we were very excited about doing this summer was partnering with a couple of former staff members, Andrew and Leah Snipes, who are missionaries in Madagascar. We were able to raise money to send them old camp t-shirts to give to children that are in need, and enough extra to purchase Bibles to send over to them. • We have employed two staff from the summer to work this fall. One will primarily work with retreat groups and help with their activities, and the other will work on writing an environmental education program to offer to schools. This program will offer an opportunity for teachers to take their students on field trips and give them hands on experience learning about the environment. The curriculum will be based on SOL standards for 3rd and 5th graders. • We are hoping to start the environmental education program sometime in Spring 2015. • We have groups scheduled to be at camp every weekend from the day that camp ended through the weekend before Thanksgiving. We have several men’s groups, women’s groups, deacon retreats, family camps, and youth groups using the camp for anything just for lodging to utilizing everything we have to offer (lodging, food, and all of activities). • The theme verse for next year is 1 Peter 3:15, “But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” • Some of the physical additions and improvements that we’ve made this year are: - New women’s bathrooms in the Ukrop Dining Hall. - New signs on all the main buildings. - New lighting for our main worship space. 102 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS ANNUAL REPORTS of Ministry Partners, Educational Institutions, and Shared Ministries Ministry Partners: Baptist Extension Board Center for Baptist Heritage and Studies GraceInside Prison Ministry HopeTree Family Services Virginia Baptist Foundation Virginia Baptist Historical Society Virginia Baptist Homes Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia Educational Institutions: Averett University Bluefield College Fork Union Military Academy Hargrave Military Academy John Leland Center for Theological Studies Oak Hill Academy Shared Ministries: Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond Baptist World Alliance Ministering to Ministers Foundation, Inc.

In the subsequent 74 years, its loan fund has grown to more than $16 million through interest on loan repayments and allocations from Virginia’s Cooperative Missions contributions. By lending money at attractive interest rates, the Baptist Extension Board assists churches, mission congregations, and district associations that are not able to secure full commercial financing. Loans are usually issued over a maturing date of 12 to 15 years. The interest rate is currently 3.75% for a first mortgage loan and 4.50% for a second mortgage loan and is reviewed by the Board at regularly scheduled meeting. The 15-member board is comprised of both clergy and lay leaders who volunteer their time to serve. During the first nine months of the 2014 fiscal year, there were twelve loans approved totaling $3,026,067. These funds were requested for new construction projects, land purchases and renovations to existing church facilities. As of August 31, 2014 the Baptist Extension Board, Inc. services 78 loans with a combined balance of $16,915,575.16. The Baptist Extension Board, working with local associations, will secure and hold strategic locations for new congregations until they are able to initiate the start-up of a new congregation. Loans granted by the Baptist Extension Board are a Virginia Baptist investment in outreach. Several Virginia Baptist church starts in the last 74 years have significantly impacted their communities because of the financial assistance received from the Baptist Extension Board, Inc.

Together Building the Future of Virginia Baptists “O Lord our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.” 1 Chronicles 29: 16-17 104 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Center for Baptist Heritage and Studies Annual Report Officers 2015 John Gordon, Chairman Pat Bloxom, Vice-Chairman Fred Anderson, Executive Director Elsie Richards, Administrative Assistant Frank G.

Brooks 2017 Robert McKinley Fred Anderson Craig Kocher In recognition of the 300th anniversary of Virginia Baptists, the Heritage Center hosted an all-day Heritage Festival (which was held on the day following the Historical Society’s commemoration of the anniversary). The first-ever Festival was held in a beautiful English garden setting on the campus of the University of Richmond, in a quadrangle adjacent to the Historical Society’s building. It was appropriate to hold the event on the UR campus since the site was created exactly a century earlier by Virginia Baptists. About 35 exhibitors representative of many phases of Baptist life in Virginia had booths on the Festival grounds. There were offerings for all ages including puppet shows by the puppet ministry of First Baptist Church, Richmond; musical selections by the choir of St. Peter Baptist Church, an AfricanAmerican church in Henrico County; activities created by Nathan Taylor, children’s minister at Central Baptist Church in Richmond, for children using the Center’s Heritage Seekers magazines; and lively, footstomping music provided by the UR faculty jazz band. The Society’s headquarters building was open with various members of the Society serving as docents to guide the visitors through exhibits. The music, exhibits, tents and colorful balloons offered a festive atmosphere. Visitors came from the Richmond metropolitan area as well as from a distance including a group of Hispanic Baptists from the Eastern Shore. The exhibitors also illustrated the wide range of Virginia Baptists. Booths carried displays from BGAV-related schools and colleges including Bluefield and Fork Union and BTSR as well as the Baptist General Convention’s Virginia Union University and its School of Theology. The Heritage Center continued to recognize and encourage promising young Baptists through its Heritage Fellows program. Arden Sizemore, a student at Radford University and member of Mt. Pleasant Church in Charles City County, was the Heritage Fellow for 2012-13 and her project was to examine the Civil War sermons of Jeremiah Bell Jeter, a prominent Virginia Baptist minister. Her findings were published in the book Powerful Preachers. The Heritage Fellows for 2013-14 – Abby Chapin of Virginia Tech and a member of First Church, Roanoke and Katie Wilkins of Bluefield College and a member of First Church, Woodbridge – interviewed numerous individuals to write papers on Baptist church planting and their papers appeared in the 2014 Virginia Baptist Register. In May, the Heritage Center appointed Rachel Cook of Blacksburg, Virginia, as its Heritage Fellow for 2014-15. She was homeschooled and took courses at New River Community College. Active in Northstar Church in Blacksburg, she entered Virginia Tech in the fall of 2014. She has been assigned to write a paper on the history and possible future direction of Baptist campus ministry in Virginia. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 105 The Heritage Center sponsored an essay contest for high school students and the winner for 2014 was Andrew Cook, a homeschooled student living in Blacksburg. His paper on the significance of Virginia Baptists as evident in their 300th anniversary was included in the 2014 Virginia Baptist Register. Fred Anderson, executive director of the Heritage Center, continued to serve on the Baptist Heritage & Identity Commission of the Baptist World Alliance; and in July 2014 he attended its meeting in Izmir, Turkey. 106 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS GraceInside: Virginia’s Prison Chaplain Service Annual Report 2014 Board of Trustees Dr. Titus Bender Rev.

Eighteen years old, he was incarcerated for making some stupid choices about alcohol and found himself in jail – and then prison. Yet, during that time, he discovered Christ and committed his life to following him. Five years later, Hector is out of prison and involved with the youth ministry of his church, has been invited to preach and has guided his family to reconciliation with each other and with Christ. He has transformed his life. Hector rejoices, “I give all praise and glory to God!” None of this would have been possible without access to religious services. For Hector, and the other 28,000 men for whom the best they could do landed them in prison, Christ offers so much hope. Forgiveness, love and grace really do exist – as do accountability, responsibility and dedication. Broken lives need to meet the healing of Jesus Christ. That is where WE come in. That is where YOU come in. Our work together saves lives from the inside out. We offer hurting men and women opportunities to encounter Jesus Christ – through worship, Bible studies, classes and individual pastoral care sessions. We facilitate spiritual growth, knowing that the Great Physician came not for those who are well but for those who are sick. This year, Chaplain Service Prison Ministry of Virginia has been moving forward on multiple fronts. We began the year voting for a new name – “GraceInside: Virginia’s Prison Chaplain Service.” We have now completed the formal process and are officially “GraceInside.” We are excited about the vision it represents. We believe GraceInside is who we are and who we want to be. We want to be GraceInside in every way. Our 30 chaplains continue to minister daily to the 30,000 incarcerated men and women housed in Virginia’s state prisons. What a mission field – and it’s right “in our own back yard”! Striving to represent Christ, we know that our presence inside the prison is not only transforming lives but also communities and the family of God. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 107 We have launched a new website (www.graceinside.org) - and a Facebook page as well as a Twitter account - with updated materials and have developed print media more reflective of our current hopes. We continue to believe God is calling us to have full-time prison chaplains. We are doing the footwork necessary to transform Chaplain Service into a tangible, full-time GraceInside. Our staff continues to work toward increasing the number of donors and donations by raising awareness of our need. We want to let Christians know that we are THEIR missionaries behind bars! Thank you for your support to GraceInside through your Cooperative Missions giving – as well as through the Alma Hunt Offering for State Missions. And by the way, if you want a dynamic speaker for your church, association, WMUV group, etc., please contact us and ask us to send Rev. Lynn Litchfield to do her 7-minute monologue as “Hope” – a female inmate – complete with the orange jumpsuit. Believe me – there will not be a dry eye in the place… Yours in Christ Jesus, Rev. J.

Tobey, Jr. “The Mission of HopeTree Family Services is to provide Christian residential, educational and support services to at-risk children and youth, and to adults with developmental disabilities throughout Virginia.” HopeTree Family Services spans the Commonwealth with a network of care unrivaled by any other ministry serving at-risk children and youth or adults with intellectual disabilities. Our main campus and administrative offices are in Salem, yet our caring touch can be felt throughout Virginia. Guiding that touch is our abiding faith in Christ. Founded as an orphanage to nurture the spirit as much as the body, HopeTree maintains a very active Christian Education Ministry which provides group Bible study, individualized mentoring sessions, arranges mission opportunities in conjunction with local churches, homeless shelters, and other community agencies. Furthermore, HopeTree employees strive to minister to those in their care through their daily interaction by mirroring Christ’s concern for those He ministered to with His own hands. HopeTree actively seeks church involvement and support throughout the year in various ways. We certainly welcome church participation at Hope Events which generate funds for and awareness of our ministries. We also welcome a number of church groups who visit us throughout the year to perform work days, conduct activities with residents, lead Bible studies, or tour our facilities to learn more about our programs. We value these groups because they are so willing to share our message with their own congregations. Our DDM Homes have standing relationships with local churches where residents participate in weekly worship services. Youth in our Residential Program in Salem visit a number of area churches on a regular basis in addition to participating 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 109 in our on-campus services. Foster Families caring for our at-risk children and youth are very active in their local churches giving foster children the precious gift of church families of their own. The ministries we provide in Salem include Residential and Foster Care programs for at-risk children and youth. The HopeTree Education Center stands at the heart of our Salem campus and houses both HopeTree Academy (an alternative school for our residents and for day students from neighboring school districts) and the Day Activities programming for our Developmental Disabilities Ministry (DDM). Foster Care services for the Roanoke Valley are also based on the Salem campus. We provide a wide range of Counseling Services for our residents and students attending HopeTree Academy. HopeTree’s Wilderness Outdoor Opportunity Discovery School (WOODS) in Craig County continues to provide adventure-based learning and behavioral enhancement for boys who need higher levels of supervision than our Salem campus can provide. Plans are underway for significant improvements to the physical plant at WOODS which will result in even better services to the at-risk boys WOODS was created to serve. During the year, we restored services to the Southside region of Virginia by reopening HopeTree at Glory Road in Henry County. This facility provides residential education and behavioral services for girls only, giving them a stable environment where they can learn to overcome the challenges in their lives. HopeTree Family Services has a significant presence in the greater Richmond metropolitan area. The Developmental Disabilities Ministry operates five group homes for adults in the Richmond area and maintains offices in the Baptist Resource Center. HopeTree’s Foster Care services for the Richmond area are based in nearby Chester. The Advancement Department also serves the Eastern half of Virginia from offices in the Resource Center. The Developmental Disabilities Ministry provides the majority of our extended community presence. We currently operate a total of 17 group homes for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the following locations: Abingdon, Salem, Martinsville, Blue Ridge, Farmville, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Virginia Beach. Many of these locations also provide respite and/or in-home services as well. We are in the final stages of acquiring licensure for our 18th home, located in Chase City. HopeTree recently acquired a second home in Virginia Beach which we hope to have operational in the very near future. Construction is set to begin on a new home on our Salem campus. That facility should be serving adults with intellectual disabilities in late 2015. HopeTree Family Services has steadily made improvements to Camp HopeTree Retreat & Conference Center (formerly Camp VA Jaycee) located near Blue Ridge, VA. This property was gifted to HopeTree in 2012 by Dare to Care Charities. The property includes roughly 60 acres of land, the camp buildings and facilities, and the Wilkinson Home of the Developmental Disabilities Ministry. Renovations to the pool have been completed and other key infrastructural elements are steadily being improved. We value the opportunity to use this property as a means of ministering to a host of different populations in a multitude of ways. The Developmental Disabilities Ministry continues to conduct Camp Coley-Keaton at this location year after year. Camp Coley-Keaton provides an irreplaceable summer camp/vacation experience for adults with intellectual disabilities. HopeTree’s primary focus in all endeavors is making life better for each person who comes into our care. We feel that is accomplished only by ministering to the physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs of all those we serve. In fact, HopeTree is currently crafting a comprehensive Strategic Plan that will guide and coordinate the ministry’s endeavors over the next three to five years. This plan provides specific goals within each area of ministry as well as the procedures for obtaining those goals. One other set of important plans HopeTree is concentrating on are the plans to celebrate the Agency’s 125th year of service during 2015. A series of special events will be conducted across the Commonwealth in the coming year as we share the joy of our continued ministry and demonstrate our appreciation of the support that has enabled us to continue these vital services since our founding in 1890. 110 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Virginia Baptist Foundation Annual Report 2014 Officers 2015 David J.

Wren Strengthening and Encouraging Christian Stewardship In fulfillment of its mission of strengthening and encouraging Christian Stewardship, the Virginia Baptist Foundation raised $5.6 million and distributed $6.6 million in 2013 to over 350 charitable causes including the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, HopeTree Family Services, the Religious Herald, the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, the Virginia Baptist Retirement Homes, Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia, 155 Baptist General Association of Virginia churches, all 8 of the BGAV’s commonwealth-based schools, colleges, military institutions or seminaries and 13 of her Baptist Associations. In fact over the past five years the Foundation has raised $38.4 million and distributed $30.4 million to hundreds of donor-directed charitable causes. Legacy As the chartered trust agency of Virginia Baptists since 1923, the Foundation accepts the responsibility of assisting any individual or Baptist church wishing to establish a customized plan for the use of their financial resources. In carrying out this charge, the Foundation recognizes each individual’s and church’s particular needs and performs a number of specialized services including: • Receiving planned gifts for any Baptist cause. • Providing charitable estate planning assistance for individuals and their loved ones. This personalized attention offers more than one plan for the donor to make permanent use of assets for Christian causes: bequests through wills, charitable remainder annuity and unitrusts, charitable gift annuities, the “Give It Twice” trust or concept of giving, lead trusts, donor-advised funds or a combination of several giving plans tailored to meet the donor’s goals or objectives. • Providing assistance in preparation of wills with individuals and their various allied legal and financial advisors. • Preparing trust or endowment documentation, investing the funds, administering the agreement, filing all tax reports and forms required, and distributing charitable income to the cause(s) of the donor’s choice according to the donor’s instructions. • Assisting churches and associations in establishing estate stewardship programs and training committee members. • Conducting seminars and workshops on charitable estate planning for churches and associations. • Providing programs for church meetings, worship services, and retreats. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 111 • Managing assets on a revocable basis for churches, associations, institutions, and missions causes. • Managing endowment and trust assets, maintaining accounting records on individual funds where the donor has directed who is to receive the income. • Assisting development staffs of Baptist institutions that request estate planning computations and trust documentation for individuals. Serving alongside the donor’s allied professionals and utilizing powerful planned giving software, the staff of the Foundation are able to provide individuals and their trusted advisors donor-friendly illustrations for carrying out the best plans for the perpetual use of the donor’s assets (i.e., cash, real estate, securities, life insurance, collectibles, individual retirement accounts, 401(k), etc.). As of August 31, 2014 the assets of the Foundation were $123 million (an all-time high) and are held as trust funds and endowment funds for numerous Baptist causes, including the academies, colleges, and universities; HopeTree Family Services; the Retirement Homes; churches and associations; Cooperative Missions; the State Missions Offering; National and International Missions; Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia; Baptist Men; programs and retreat properties of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, and other Baptist institutions and ministries. Money Management Employing the expertise of one of the nation’s leading investment consultants (The Vanguard Group), the Foundation manages over 1,000 accounts on behalf of various churches and BGAV ministry partners. These institutional accounts, managed in three socially screened investment portfolios (equity, balanced and fixed), certificates of deposit or money market programs, provide for our clients a diversified range of investment options. Through our low cost administration, monthly or quarterly performance reports and revocability according to the terms of the agreement, our goal is to improve the possibility of higher returns and lower the risk for long-term institutional investors. Whether your church, ministry or organization has been entrusted with building or facilities, cemetery, endowment, memorial, scholarship or other special funds, the Foundation can assist in the establishment, management and promotion of these institutional funds. Scholarships For many years the Foundation has awarded scholarships to qualifying Virginia Baptist students. In fact during the last five years we awarded $489,880 in scholarships to 241 recipients from across the commonwealth. On May 18, 2014, the Foundation hosted our 7th Annual Scholarship Reception awarding $95,000 in scholar-ships to 52 undergraduate and graduate students. These recipients (who boast a grade point average of 4.0035) were chosen from a pool of 108 applicants attending 56 academic institutions and representing 86 BGAV churches. Aside from their stellar academic records and numerous school activities, our scholarship recipients are involved in a myriad of Christian and social ministries from Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, youth choirs, Impact VA, campground ministries, mission trips, Royal Ambassadors, Girls in Action and Acteens, Passport Mission Camps, Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Relay for Life events, Stop Hunger Now, Habitat for Humanity builds, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals efforts, community theater groups and nursing home or rehabilitation centers. We are thankful to God for what He continues to do great things through yet another generation of Virginia Baptists. 112 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Grants Finally, since the inception of its Grant Ministry program in 2005, the Foundation has awarded 55 external grants totaling over $1 million to 40 different Virginia Baptist ministry partners. These recipients read as a Who’s Who of Virginia Baptist life and ministries including: African Christian Community Church (Richmond) (3) Anita Bailey (Mission Trip to Honduras) Appomattox Baptist Association Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond Blue Ridge Baptist Association Bluefield College (Dan MacMillan Center) (2) Bluefield College (Impact VA) Boaz & Ruth Rebuilding Lives Program Center for Baptist Heritage & Studies Chaplain Service Prison Ministry Columbia Baptist Church (Thanksgiving Share Food Ministry) Community Heights Baptist Church (127 Junction Ministry) Dover Baptist Association Eagle Eyrie Conference Center (2) Emmanuel Baptist Church (Barbados) Fork Union Military Academy Fredericksburg Area Baptist Network Goochland Baptist Church Goshen Baptist Association Iglesia Bautista Hispania Emanuel Church (Alexandria) James River Baptist Association John Leland Center for Theological Studies Latino Network Mid-Tidewater Baptist Association Middle District Baptist Association New Lebanon Baptist Association Oak Hill Academy (2) Portsmouth Baptist Association (2) Religious Herald (3) Shiloh Baptist Association (2) Shiloh Hope Builders (2) Spence Network for Congregational Leadership Urban Mountain Adventures Virginia Baptist Historical Society Virginia Baptist Homes Virginia Baptist Mission Board VBMB Emerging Leaders Team (3) VBMB Impact VA (3) VBMB Legacy Builders (2) VBMB (Pastor in Residence) Note: Numbers denote repeat recipients Our Future The future of Kingdom Advance ministries and that of the Virginia Baptist Foundation will be realized through the life-income, planned or estate giving of today’s Christian stewards. In a day when the average Virginia Baptist contributes $15 weekly to the offering plate, we invite our Virginia Baptist family to consider their total or estate stewardship and join these champions of the faith in supporting the causes that embody our Christian heritage. Since 1927 the Foundation has been a beneficiary of Cooperative Missions Support. We are thankful to God and our BGAV family for these entrusted dollars. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 113 Virginia Baptist Historical Society Annual Report Officers 2017 Frank G.

Upton, Jr. Dennis Sacrey In May 2014 the Virginia Baptist Historical Society commemorated the 300th anniversary of the appointment of the first Baptist minister to Virginia. In May 1714 two “messengers” – Robert Norden and Thomas White – were appointed by the General Baptists of England “to go to Virginia with all Convenient Speed.” They were from the southeastern corner of England, the counties of Kent and Sussex, and likely already were known to early Virginia settlers who had sent word home to send a minister. The churches of England collected funds for “the Virginia Mission” and, likely early in 1715, the ministers left for the New World. Tradition holds that Thomas White died on the ocean voyage but Robert Norden arrived in the area south of the James River. In June 1715 he took the prescribed oaths before the Prince George County Court and he gathered the scattered Baptists for meetings in private homes. Norden’s work established the first Baptist church in the colony and was the earliest beginnings of a Baptist witness in Virginia which has grown and expanded across three centuries. The Historical Society planned a commemoration which took the form of a worship service as a time of remembrance and thanksgiving for all the Lord has done for and through Virginia Baptists. The service was held in the sanctuary of the River Road Church, Baptist in Richmond. John Upton brought greetings from the BGAV. Paul Honaker, an accomplished veteran church musician, prepared a medley of hymns which Virginia Baptists have loved across the years. Frank Schwall, president of the Historical Society, prepared a litany of remembrance and thanksgiving which was led by a dozen persons representative of many phases of Virginia Baptist life. Musical selections were provided by the Virginia Baptist Women’s Chorale under the direction of Deborah C. Loftis. Fred Anderson, executive director of the Society, delivered an historical address on the subject: “The Genesis & Genius of Virginia Baptists.” 114 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS The worship service was held on a Friday evening and was the prelude to a lively Heritage Festival sponsored on Saturday by the Center for Baptist Heritage & Studies (see the Center’s report). Fred Anderson’s 300th anniversary address was the lead article for the 2014 Virginia Baptist Register. He expanded his address by including new information on “the Virginia Mission” which was gathered during a research visit over the summer at a private library in London. While in England, he also visited the hamlet from which Norden left to journey to Virginia. The Register also included a study of the impact of the Civil War upon Virginia Baptist churches. The article was compiled by Michael Whitt, special projects assistant at the Society. In addition, Fred Anderson contributed an article related to the centennial of the present campus of the University of Richmond, a campus largely built by Virginia Baptists and opened in September 1914. Fred Anderson also created a large exhibit entitled “Redeeming the Time” which offered a look at the Baptist school circa 1914. The Society published Powerful Preachers which included an overview of early Virginia Baptist preachers, biographical sketches of three outstanding 19th century pulpit masters – William E. Hatcher, Joshua B. Hutson and his brother, the evangelist, James E. Hutson – as well as an inventory of AfricanAmerican Baptist preachers following the Civil War. The Society’s landmark exhibit, “free indeed!” – the trials and triumphs of Virginia’s enslaved – continued to be on view and attracted numerous individuals and church tour groups. The exhibit was mounted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of emancipation. It was one of three components to the commemoration: an exhibit, a book on the subject, and a name registry of all the names – over 50,000 – found in the antebellum church records in the Society’s collection. The Society’s church records repository continued to grow and in the first half of 2014 there were 4,081 records from over 500 churches. During the first half of 2014 there were 144 researchers who sought information. In addition, the Society’s holdings increased with about 15 major acquisitions. Darlene Slater Herod, research assistant, helped the researchers and processed items for the collection. Michael Whitt indexed editorials and major articles found in the Religious Herald during the editorships beginning in the 1950s to date. Elsie Richards, membership secretary, maintained the records of the large membership of the Society. Fred Anderson, executive director, continued to speak across Virginia especially for church anniversaries. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 115 Virginia Baptist Homes Annual Report 2014 V.

Through gifts to the Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation, both long time donors and new donors give generously to help provide financial assistance to residents whose funds have been depleted to a level that can no longer provide sufficient funds for their care. For more than 66 years, Virginia Baptist Homes has worked diligently to provide the services and benevolent funds required by members of our resident family. With the increase in the aging population, which is also reflected among BGAV church congregations and every other denomination, the challenge continues to increase. With cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and the previous decreases in our funding through the BGAV budget, we must look to individual donors, foundations, and corporate gifts to make up this significant loss in income. One of the most important facts that our residents consider when researching retirement options, is the fact that Virginia Baptist Homes is faith-based. Many of them have been involved in our ministry through volunteering or through family members who are or have been residents of our communities. They know from personal experience that our ministries support of our residents’ faith in their daily lives is significant to their well-being. They see that residents are strengthened by their participation 116 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS and leadership in Bible Studies, visitation with neighbors, serving on our committees such as the Memorial Committee and Spiritual Life Committee. As one of the two benevolent ministries of the BGAV (together with Hope Tree Family Services), Virginia Baptist Homes has been a strong partner with the BGAV. Throughout our history, our ministry has been and continues to be privileged to care for and serve thousands of lay people, ministers and their spouses, missionaries, Sunday School teachers, and others who have served their faith throughout their lifetime. In many instances, we have been the last and the best hope for seniors who came to us to find a place of security and care to meet their every need for the remainder of their lives. Virginia Baptist Homes continues to be grateful to be numbered among the BGAV family. We look forward to continuing to serve Virginia Baptists and others who need the safe haven provided by this ministry to senior adults. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 117 Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia Annual Report Board of Trustees Pat Wright, President Betty Lou Jackson, Vice President/Secretary Sara Hubble, Member-at-Large Lynne Stockman, Member-at-Large Judy Deel, Member-at-Large Judy Vicars, Member-at-Large Roxanne Higgins, Advisory Board Representative Kathryn Sowers, Advisory Board Representative Angela Webb, Advisory Board Representative Cindy Walker, CrossRoads Commission Representative Cheryl Grubbs, CrossRoads Commission Representative Valerie Carter, Executive Director/Treasurer Often when I am speaking throughout Virginia Baptist churches and associations, women will approach me and say, “Is there a place for me?

Here is what our guests are saying: “Camp has taught me to love like Christ and cultivate a positive attitude in all things.” “CrossRoads summer staff has had the most impact on my spiritual life.” “I was able to find complete peace in my heart.” “The staff is awesome, the food great, and the Holy Spirit present.” WMUV recognizes that the local church is navigating through the rapids of cultural change and we are committed to navigating alongside of the local church in building kingdom leaders that influence the world for Christ. This year we celebrate the fact that the WMUV president, Pat Wright and the staff of WMUV have made 59 staff visits to local churches and 21 staff visits to Virginia Baptist Associational meetings. What’s New? In an effort to reach African American audiences to the work of Virginia Missions, WMUV has launched Sisters Who Care (SWC), a Women On Mission model designed to contextualize the work of WMUV for the African American church, further equipping congregations to engage in Christian missions. Since March 1, 2014, we have developed a geographically diverse volunteer council of 13 African American women who are being equipped to coordinate community ministries and to serve churches throughout Virginia. SWC are currently planning two Salt the City events for next year. Jovonni Armstead, SWC Council Member, and a member of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Richmond who works as an area Magistrate said of being invited to serve with WMUV: While working as a judicial officer I make decisions each day that affect citizens legal rights and determine the freedoms of those accused of crimes. I recently called my pastor and told him that we are the church and we need to do something about the trouble in our communities! He responded by saying, “I have been contacted by WMU of Virginia seeking a volunteer to work with a statewide initiative that will help churches in our communities address our problems! Will you serve? 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 119 Financials On October 1, 2014 WMUV launched Campaign140, a Capital Campaign to set in motion renovation projects needed at CrossRoads Camp and Conference Center. We have asked constituents to give $140.00 or more, between October 1st and December 31st, to begin renovations needed. WMUV is able to serves the local church and develop missional responses to the world’s needs through the financial support of Virginia Baptist churches. Therefore, let it be known that WMUV appreciates the generous giving of Virginia Baptist to the Cooperative Missions Offering which supports our operational expenses and the gifts made to the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions which fund our mission efforts. You allow us to live out our mission of inspiring and equipping women to lead the church to influence the world for Christ! Our Board of Trustees continues to lead courageously in changing times. Advisory Board members continue to champion the cause of missions through their Associations. The local church WMU leaders continue to serve on the frontlines. In the midst of this vast ocean of uncertainty which is no stranger to women in church life, WMUV continues to follow the Christ compass as co-laborers together with God.

Spainhour, Jr. * BGAV appointed Averett University offers students numerous opportunities to explore issues of meaning, purpose, and faith as they engage with their peers and faculty who embody various backgrounds, beliefs, and practices. Averett strives to grow and enhance our students’ faith development as we nurture, support, and actively pursue opportunities for our students to DISCOVER, DEVELOP and LIVE. Discover... College students grapple with the “Big Questions” in life when they are exposed to higher learning: Who am I? What are my values? Do I have a mission in life? Why am I in college? What kind of person do I want to be? What sort of world do I want to help create? Averett’s faculty, staff, and student leaders afford students the opportunity to find their passion and turn it into action. This Fall 2014, a total enrollment of 1,985 students from 25 states and 19 countries came to Averett. The 2014 entering class included 308 first-year and transfer students and boasts a cumulative GPA of 3.24. On September 25th, we celebrated our first Nursing White Coat ceremony for our inaugural Bachelor of Nursing cohort and senior pinning. This marked the culmination of more than three years’ preparation and growth of Averett’s new nursing program – which now counts more than 116 students – who will go out into their communities and worlds and make a difference in the lives of others. That’s a passion discovered! We continue to offer new program opportunities and degree options for students to pursue. This year, Averett launched new graduate degree programs including the its Masters of Accountancy, the MEd in Administration and Supervision, and the MEd in Special Education with certification in Autism Studies. New programs at the undergraduate level have also launched including the RN-BSN and a new online program in Criminal Justice. We are exploring start-up of a Masters of Missional Ministry for students seeking global leadership roles, lay ministry, and a calling to serve. For the first time, Averett has gone 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 121 online – going from zero to 361 students in this first year alone. Our Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) program is now approved to offer online classes in 24 states. Averett completed its 2009-2014 strategic plan this May and has launched its new Averett 2020 strategic plan. Our vision is clear: To becoming a premier, student-centered university renowned for innovative teaching and experiential learning. Our four areas of strategic focus include academic innovation, student success, brand excellence, and strategic growth. Averett recognizes and embraces our responsibility as the only four-year University in the region. We demonstrate our responsiveness to regional interests by adapting Averett’s programs and initiatives, to bring about lasting and positive growth for not only the University, but also for the regions we serve. Develop... 1. PURPOSE - Caring and Compassion for Others This year marked an exciting milestone for Averett students – the establishment of our Center for Community Engagement & Career Competitiveness. The University has been deliberate and bold in creating a distinctive student experience that will also guarantee a sustained pipeline of student engagement for the region. This has been accomplished through a major revision to the institution’s general education curriculum that now includes experiential learning as a graduation requirement. This change in degree requirements speaks to the value the University places on hands-on or applied learning combined with our opportunity to engage Averett students in meaningful ways throughout the region. The purpose of the Center is to bring classroom learning to life through service-learning courses, internships, community service and undergraduate research. It will be a significant resource to the region, as ongoing learning for students, faculty, businesses, and non-profit organizations benefit and make one another stronger. When students feel they belong to a community and when they experience the sense of connected learning, they are more likely to succeed. When our entire community and region are focused on our regional students’ success, we will positively influence the culture of education and expectation in our region. Baptist Youth Summer Camps Averett was proud to host 1,200 Baptist youth during Summer 2014, over a period of four weeks, for Passport and IMPACT mission trips. This is the third summer for Passport and the first summer for IMPACT at Averett. Both Passport and IMPACT are ecumenical youth mission camps that bring young people together to work on different rebuilding and revamping projects. For many in Danville, these young people were hard to miss – over four weeks, campers worked all over the city working to repair and paint homes and other historic buildings. Coverage on the evening news and in the local paper also helped build awareness in the community. Churches who graciously signed up to provide meals for the IMPACT crews mentioned their gratification and excitement at seeing this event in the news. Indeed, word of this work spread beyond our region; media coverage as far away as Roanoke detailed these events. Because of our continuing relationship with Passport and IMPACT, the city is now actively involved in providing projects for these students. Campers, youth ministers, and chaperones from both camps continue to speak highly of their experience at Averett and in the Danville region. The groups worship in the mornings and evenings and then spend the day working in various locations throughout the community. As in previous years, we heard consistent feedback that our staff, from cafeteria to student life, rate among the friendliest and most helpful these groups have encountered during any camp experience. The groups have also gotten to know our community during their free time; several have mentioned their 122 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS satisfaction at seeing how Danville has improved year-to-year, and the pride they feel to be part of the process. Averett was grateful to host such vibrant and dedicated young people, sharing their mission and service with our community. 2. FAITH - Dialogues about Spirituality and Religion Religious Life Averett University is excited about its thriving religious life community. For the past five years, spiritual life has been directed and facilitated by the Chaplain and Religious Life Director, Jamie Williford. In his work as University Chaplain, Jamie oversees the various ministers, student groups, and activities on campus. He assists a student leader in running Common Grounds, a weekly spiritual discussion group which meets on Averett’s campus. Averett’s student body is also served by the Christian Student Fellowship (CSF) and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Through a partnership with the Pittsylvania Baptist Association, the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the Cooperative of Virginia and West Main Baptist Church, Kendall Ratliffe (our BGAV enrollment counselor) and the CSF help equip students to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, to develop a deep sense of community with each other, and to be the hands and feet of Christ in their community. Going into her second year, Kendall has served as the CSF Advisor and has led the CSF leadership team to develop a group of more than 40 students who are engaged in serving the community of Averett and Danville. Both the CSF and FCA meet weekly for common fellowship and dialogue. Religion Department As part of Averett’s outreach to alumni across the Commonwealth and around the world, Averett hosts an annual conference and lecture series. Lectures take place over Homecoming Weekend, featuring a renowned speaker and attract local and regional clergy. Since the topic is in the area of religious/ pastoral/church concern, and aimed at our Religious Studies graduates, the function also serves to bring graduates back to campus each year. In addition to two lectures over the course of a session, there are opportunities for networking and discussion among participants, and alumni who want to stay for Homecoming may also attend those events seamlessly. Averett hosted its first speaker, Gabe Lyons, during Homecoming (September, 2013). Our 2014 Conference speaker will be Heather Zempel, who is the Discipleship Pastor at the National Community Church in Washington, DC, where she oversees small groups, directs leadership development training, and serves on the weekend teaching team. Heather is the author of Sacred Roads and Community is Messy. Because of her publications and the success of her work at the National Community Church, Ms. Zempel has been catapulted to the national stage and is in demand as a speaker. She has spoken at numerous conferences and events across the country. Her focus for our participants will be on “The Millennial Paradox,” looking at the emerging generation’s habits, preferences, and wiring and engaging emerging generations in community and spiritual growth. 3. VOCATION – Finding Your Calling Averett’s focus is on developing and coordinating our educational offerings to promote wholeness and holistic education for our students. A key facet of college life is finding your vocation – your true calling in life. This may be spiritual, but any area in which students find their passion, energizes students and lets them be their authentic selves. Providing students with more opportunities to connect with their “inner selves” facilitates growth in academic and leadership skills, which contributes to their intellectual self-confidence and psychological well-being. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 123 BGAV Enrollment Counselor Further commitment to our reinvigorated partnership is evidenced by Averett hiring a Baptist-focused enrollment counselor in our Admissions Department. With a special purview to providing insight and services to incoming students of Baptist faith, Kendall Ratliffe serves our Admissions team as the BGAV ambassador. Kendall promotes Averett’s mission, values and academics at churches, various denominational and youth events (local, regional, and national), individual church visits, and through regional church gatherings. Kendall holds a bachelor of science degree in psychology from Juniata College and a master’s in divinity from Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond. Uptick for Women For the third year, Averett was honored to host 10 participants in a daylong Uptick for Women session facilitated by President, Tiffany M. Franks. This year’s event was held June 25th at Dr. Franks’ home. Uptick is a leadership process for high-potential missional leaders, providing an accelerated track for those who have already demonstrated significant apostolic potential. Uptick for Women connects women to a community of leaders, provides greater clarity of their missional calling, and a deeper understanding of their identity as a leader and woman. In essence, it empowers women and gives them access to opportunities in their vocation. Live... Averett has reached its first 5-year capital campaign goal of $25 million this year, one year early! While we have reached a great milestone, we realize that we are not yet at the summit. Student needs remain and we are redoubling our efforts to provide the best living/learning environment for our students. Some highlights of the campaign include: • Completion of the Violet T. Frith Fine Arts Center • Laying of the Daly Field, Averett’s premier synthetic turf football/soccer field • Completion of 33 Classrooms-of-the-Future, retrofitted with 21st century technology • 94% funding complete towards the Frank R. Campbell Sports Stadium with new bleachers, press box, concessions, and president’s suite • Established an Entry-into-practice Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree and RN to BSN degree • Frank R. Fulton Indoor Batting Facility • $3.8 million in annual scholarships funded and endowed We know, as students encounter the Big Questions and are exposed to new ideas and diversity in college, they are challenged to grow and change. At Averett, we embrace our role in developing a college experience that is critical in helping students explore and clarify their beliefs, values, and purpose. Therefore, we focus on: • Integrating our mission and vision statements, as well as our Strategic Plan 2020, to support our students’ growth, development, and success. • Fostering a campus climate that values diversity and encourages conversations about spiritual development. • Challenging students to search for ways to find meaning and purpose within their field of study and related career choices. • Developing experiential education initiatives which help students make connections between their lives, the world around them, and what they are learning in the classroom. 124 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Give Thanks... We have much to be thankful for at Averett: Our students, our faculty and staff, our alumni family, and our generous benefactors. We give thanks for our many blessings and are especially grateful for our renewed ties with Virginia Baptists. We know it is a sacred trust to help shape the minds of young people. We strive to be good stewards of all our resources from tuition resources from students and families, to the gifts invested in Averett by donors. We are so blessed and do not see this abundance as our due, but rather, a true gift of God. We invite you to visit our campus and see your good works in action – in the faces of our students, the passion of our faculty, and the dedication and purpose demonstrated by all staff. Discover, Develop, and Live with Averett. Tiffany M. Franks President 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 125 Bluefield College Annual Report 2014 2017 Michael R. DuVal William M. Hartsfield* Camden J.

Beckett Gordon W. Grimes, II Sarah J. Reid Charles O. Warren Trustee Emeritus T. Keith Edwards *Representing the BGAV Bluefield College is an inclusive Christ-centered learning community developing transformational servant leaders. In fact, that’s the BC mission. With commitments to Christ-centered learning, Virginia Baptists, academic excellence, lifelong inquiry, the liberal arts, professional studies, service, integrity and respect, Bluefield seeks to graduate servant leaders who understand their life calling and transform the world. Just how do we do that? A look back at the 2013-2014 academic year shows just how. For example, the 2013-2014 academic year included the beginning of construction of a new apartmentstyle complex on campus called Bluestone Commons, the college’s latest and most independent oncampus residence option for students. The school also celebrated the granting of 119 diplomas during the 22nd Annual Winter Commencement, a program that featured a keynote address from Trudy Cathy White, daughter of Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy, and the conferring of 125 diplomas during the 92nd Annual Spring Commencement, which featured the presentation of a Student Leadership Award to senior Megan Hardison, a Distinguished Faculty Award to Dr. Shawn White, and an Honorary Doctorate to alumnus Dr. Garry Jones. In addition, in 2013-2014 the college rejoined the Appalachian Athletic Conference—a conference it helped establish and spent nearly two decades a part of during the 1990s and early 2000s—and received a clear report regarding its financial stability after an accreditation review from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. And, if that were not enough, BC also created its first ever Stadium Band to support the recently revived Rams football team and celebrated an appearance in the quarterfinals of NBC-TV’s America’s Got Talent for BC music professors Dr. Ben and Colleen Thorburn as part of the 3Penny Chorus and Orchestra. 126 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS While these accomplishments were indeed much to celebrate at Bluefield College, what stood out most about the 2013-2014 academic year were the ways in which students, faculty, staff and alumni lived out the BC mission and the commitments to Christ-centered learning, transformational leadership, academic excellence, service, a life’s calling, and transforming the world. A Christ-centered learning community… One of BC’s most obvious expressions of its commitment to Christ-centered learning is Christian Emphasis Week, an annual event sponsored by Drs. Gene and Jane Duremdes of FBC Princeton. In fact, this past fall, 64 students made professions of faith during the event. Soon after, in January 2014, 355 youth from across the region stormed the BC campus for a two-day extreme winter worship and ski weekend called Winter Blast. Developing transformational leaders… The college’s efforts to develop transformational leaders can be best described this year through the example of current BC student Gabriele Morgan, who took part in a Women in Leadership program in Prague, the Czech Republic, in the summer of 2014. She described the leadership program -- sponsored by Leadership exCHANGE for the purpose of providing young people with the skills and opportunities they need to become active and responsible citizens in a global community -- as “life changing.” Graduates of BC’s School of Education are demonstrating that same transformational leadership. For example, from a group of 36 educators from Tazewell County (VA) participating in a summer 2013 professional development program, 14 (nearly half) were Bluefield grads, helping BC lead the way as educators in the region. Validation of that leadership came during the year from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), who named Bluefield College a Champions of Character Five Star Institution for the way in which its student-athletes lead, serve and behave on and off the court and competition fields. Committed to academic excellence… Confirmation of BC’s academic excellence came during the year from a number of objective sources. The first: the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, who awarded Bluefield an “A” rating for the quality of its general education curriculum. BC was just one of two colleges in Virginia and one of only 21 in the nation to earn the prestigious “A” rating. In like fashion, U.S. News and World Report ranked Bluefield College among the Top Tier Colleges in the South in its “America’s Best Colleges: 2014.” Military Advanced Education awarded BC a “militaryfriendly” distinction, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) granted accreditation to the college’s RN-to-BSN program. BC launched a number of new academic programs in 2013-2014, demonstrating to students its commitment to academic excellence. In fact, in the fall of 2013, the college enrolled its first ever master’s degree students in a brand new master of arts in education (MAEd) program. Other new programs created in 2013-2014: online early childhood education, online criminal justice, and a web and mobile development concentration for business majors. In an effort to provide even more academic excellence to students, the college signed an articulation agreement in November 2013 with the Appalachian School of Law, giving Bluefield graduates “preferential consideration” for admission to ASL. BC also continued to offer a variety of opportunities for study abroad, including a spring 2014 trip to Nanjing, China, where students studied Chinese history, culture and language at the Jiangsu Second Normal University. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 127 Committed to service to the community… Service is a way of life at Bluefield College. Just ask the more than 100 students who took part in a National Day of Service and Remembrance to start the school year in memory of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Later in the year, 42 Bluefield College students participated in community service projects as part of the Martin Luther King National Day of Service, while dozens of other students took part in a “Style Your Sole” event to provide new shoes to underprivileged kids, just to name a few examples. As an added demonstration of service to the community, the college hosted businesswomen from across southwest Virginia on campus for a day of leadership, management, technology, and higher education training in the school’s first-ever Professional Business Women’s Conference. Later in the year, BC welcomed more than 70 local human service providers to a conference designed to support and strengthen their efforts in the community. Serving as a host site for others to join BC in community service, the college welcomed dozens of volunteers from churches on campus in the summer of 2014 to conduct service projects and summer youth programs in the community. In addition, nearly 400 youth from across the country spent a week on campus in the summer completing about 50 home improvement and community service projects in Greater Bluefield as part of Group Workcamps. Taking that Christ-centered learning abroad, 10 Bluefield College students took part in a Spring Break mission trip in March 2014 to spread the Gospel in Madrid, Spain. For all this service and more, Bluefield College earned its seventh consecutive President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll distinction for “exemplary service in the community.” Graduating students who understand their life’s calling… The Bluefield College experience is about more than an education. Students who attend BC know they are exploring, identifying and preparing for a calling, not just a career. Graduating senior Kayla Richardson understands that, thanks to a unique internship she experienced in 2013-2014 with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service as part of her studies as a criminal justice major. “I know for a fact that this is what I want to do,” said Richardson, “and this internship has proven to me that this is in fact my passion. I want to become a federal investigator and ultimately work as a special agent for NCIS.” The college celebrated others this year who have gone on from BC with a complete understanding of their calling – graduates like Dave Ebert (’04), who is using his love of comedy and training in communication and on stage at BC to share the Gospel as a stand-up comic in Chicago, Illinois; Bill Tuck, who was destined to preach and write as he’s shown through 40 years of service in the pulpit of Baptist churches and the authoring of 27 books; and Mark Vinson, whose degree in athletic training at Bluefield College and commitment to the well being of athletes has taken him all the way to Major League Baseball, where he serves as an assistant athletic trainer for the Tampa Rays. As part of the BC mission to help students understand their calling, the college also hosted its second summer session of the New Opportunity School for Women. This year, seven women in poverty or personal predicament graduated from the program that is designed to improve the lives of low-income, under-educated women in Appalachia, and to help them find their way in life. Graduating students who transform the world… From understanding their calling to transforming the world is the fulfillment of the BC mission, and this year the college celebrated three of the many examples of graduates who are doing that today. Sensing a call from God soon after graduating from BC in 1989, alumna Carrie Booth Bradshaw founded the 128 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Abel Crisis Pregnancy Center in Bluefield. Designed to provide assistance and encouragement to women dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, the Abel Center celebrated 20 years of service to the community in 2014 and the transformation of countless lives in the Greater Bluefields. Other alumni acknowledged this year for transforming the world: Brittany Garton, who has dedicated herself to a life of service to Project Ruth and its Ruth School in Bucharest, Romania, in an effort to improve the lives of disadvantaged Gypsy children, and Frances “Fran” Baxter Minton, a 30-year veteran nurse who created an urgent care center called Appalachian Family Care and who brought Remote Access Medical care to southwest Virginia to address the profound need for access to health and dental services for low-income, uninsured, and underserved residents. In addition, alumnae Peggy Emert Bickford is also in the business of transforming the world, right at home at Bluefield College, where she and her husband, Steven, created in August 2013 the Peggy Emert Bickford Endowed Memorial Scholarship for “average” students and the Robert Steven Bickford and Peggy Emert Bickford Endowed Memorial Athletic Scholarship for student-athletes. Just like the Bickfords, members of the Pete Young family established the Pete Young “Mr. Touchdown” Football Endowed Scholarship in October 2013 to provide vital financial aid to Rams football players and to pay tribute to a 1933 BC football player who led the nation in scoring. Beyond the vision and mission of Bluefield College, the 2013-2014 academic year included even more to celebrate. For example, the college celebrated Baptist Heritage Day in October 2013, featuring keynote speaker and veteran of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board Rod Hale, and then turned around and celebrated its Appalachian heritage with an Appalachian Festival in April 2014, featuring bluegrass music, artisan and food merchants, book sales and signings, and art exhibits. Dozens of local golfers took part in BC’s 12th Annual Golfers’ Challenge in August 2013 to help raise more than $42,000 in scholarships for student-athletes, while nearly 100 runners and walkers participated in the Sixth Annual Jason Elswick Memorial Scholarship 5K Challenge in September 2013 to raise additional scholarship dollars while preserving the memory of onetime BC student Jason Elswick. Dr. David Bailey (’60) was inducted into the BC Hall of Distinguished Graduates, Dr. Tom Brewster (’91) was named Alumnus of the Year, Jesse Cole (’02) was named Distinguished Young Alumnus, retired professor and longtime pastor Rev. Hugh Cole received the Primitivo Delgado Christian Service Award, and seniors Caitlin Allen and Caleb Frye were crowned Homecoming Queen and King, respectively, during BC’s fall 2013 Homecoming weekend. At the end of the year, accounts payable manager Shirley Mutter won the 2013-2014 Distinguished Staff Award, and maintenance director Blair Taylor took home a 30-year Service Award. Twenty-one music alumni spanning five decades of graduating classes gathered on campus in March 2014 for a three-day Alumni Choir Reunion, featuring two Alumni Choir concerts. Later in the spring, the college honored 20 local journalists with its 15th Annual Media Appreciation Day, while shortly thereafter students celebrated the culmination of another academic year with the 36th Annual Mud Pig Day. In March 2014, the college honored the 1998-1999 BC men’s basketball team on the 15th anniversary of its historic win over nationally ranked number three Southern Oregon University in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II National Tournament, a feat no other team has ever accomplished at BC or in the NAIA National Tournament. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 129 Current athletes earned accolades during the year, as well, including the most wins in a season for both the men’s and women’s soccer teams, a runner-up honor for the men’s basketball team in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Mid-East Regional Tournament, the fourth appearance in six years for the men’s baseball team in the NCCAA World Series, and the first-ever wins at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southeast Regional Tournament for the men’s tennis team. All of these accomplishments—the Christ-centered learning, the development of leaders, the commitments to academic excellence and service, and the graduation of students who understand their calling and transform the world—are the work of God in our midst at Bluefield College and the result of faithful and supportive alumni and friends, particularly Virginia Baptists, and their faithfulness to give. We are grateful for your loyal commitment to Bluefield College and to the students whose lives we touch. We invite you to visit our campus to see the difference our students are making in the lives of so many and the ways in which they are living their passion. To learn more about Bluefield College and how you might join us in our mission to graduate servant leaders who understand their life calling and transform the world, visit us online at www.bluefield.edu, or call the Public Relations Office at 276.326.4212.

William Price, III Richard H. Wall * Representing the BGAV The student body of Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA) is comprised of boys in grades 6 through 12, as well as some postgraduate students. For 116 years, our holistic spiritual, academic, and physical curriculum has brought blessing to the generations of young men who have worn our uniform. At FUMA, cadets receive a college preparatory education while simultaneously living and growing in a Christ-centered, structured setting. Our efforts are aimed at helping boys develop their scholastic abilities while acquiring the disciplines and vision necessary to help them mature into young men of character and values who will one day lead their families and communities with wisdom and honor. When Dr. William Hatcher, a prominent Baptist preacher from Richmond, founded the Academy his dream was to offer local young people a classical religious education. In October of 1898 the first class of 19 students enrolled. Since then the Academy has been faithfully building on his foundational efforts. Today our school stands as the largest all-male residential military middle and high school in the United States, drawing students from around the country and the world. The centerpiece of our academic curriculum consists of a unique high school schedule where classes are taught in 35-day blocks, one subject at a time. This “One Subject Plan” enables our students to enjoy a level of academic focus and personal attention not available in other school settings. Year after year the college acceptances and scholarship offers that our graduates receive provide abundant testimony to the value of our program. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 131 FUMA is accredited by the Virginia Association of Independent Schools, is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, is a member of the Association of Military Schools and Colleges of the United States, and through our representation in the Virginia Council for Private Education, is deemed fully accredited by the Virginia Board of Education. Despite the value of our college preparatory curriculum, FUMA is more than a school. Through inclusion in our program and by living in a community of support and accountability, our students grow in many ways that transcend the classroom. Each school day cadets participate in daily devotionals and prayer. Three times each week the entire student body attends chapel services. During after-school hours there are many opportunities for fellowship such as through participation in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes or other Bible studies. Membership in such clubs as the IDEA Club (IDEA stands for Intelligent Design and Evolutionary Awareness) can further enhance students’ understanding of what Christians believe, and why. Last year our students supported the local nursing home, aided in the county Christmas festival, worked at elementary school fairs, conducted food drives for regional families in need, tutored students at a elementary school, and spent focused time cleaning our own campus and neighborhood roadways. Our choir ministered to residents of numerous nursing homes and church meetings in the Commonwealth. Through offering our students the opportunity to grow their faith through study and fellowship while also enabling them to experience the blessings that come through serving others, the precepts of Biblical Christianity are being effectively imparted to our cadets. For many, the call of God upon their lives is first heard while on our campus. In response to recent enrollment shortfalls, FUMA’s 2013-2014 operating budget was constructed in hopes of having 435 boarding cadets residing on campus as of the opening day of the school year. Although at the beginning of the year we had not enrolled the budgeted number of boarding students, we’re thankful that through God’s provision and our rolling enrollment capability we were able to attain this goal equivalent by the end of the year. The One-Subject Plan allows for several entry points during the year, as at these points all upper school cadets are beginning new classes called “terms.” However, continued declines in enrollment are troublesome. We recognize that for many families, great financial sacrifices accompany their sons’ inclusion in our program. To help allay the cost of tuition, our Financial Aid Office continues to try and offer a large amount of need-based financial aid awards. In the fall of 2014, 440 young men from 26 states and 15 foreign nations arrived on our campus to begin the 116th academic session. Approximately 50% had been FUMA cadets the previous year, and 380 of them were boarding students. Our opening day enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year was some 20 students higher than the year before; we attribute this to our enhanced financial aid budget. On the last Saturday this past May, after nine fleeting months of hard work by all, the FUMA Alumni Association welcomed 90 new members as the class of 2014 received their diplomas and Post-Graduate certificates of completion. Although these young men were awarded nearly $7 million in academic and athletic scholarships, of most importance to us is that none left our watch care without having had the good news of Jesus Christ proclaimed to them, explained to them, and lived out before their eyes by our staff and faculty. We wish each of them Godspeed. As always, the Academy is thankful for the historic partnership we have enjoyed for so long with the Baptist General Association of Virginia. In fact, with tuition and fees providing us with only 70% of our annual operating budget, we rely on the help of our friends and supporters now more than ever. As we begin the current school year, we look forward to the rewards that await us as we co-labor with the BGAV to bring Christ to the world. 132 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Hargrave Military Academy Annual Report Administration: BG (Ret.)

Dyer Dr. John O’Bannon In May 2014 Hargrave Military Academy completed its 105th year of service and commitment to developing young men in mind, body, character and spirit. Cadets from Virginia, 23 other states, and 19 countries were in attendance at the commencement proceedings May 17, 2014, and 56 young men received their diplomas. One hundred percent of this class received at least one acceptance to a college or university. Hargrave is proud that for the last 14 years 99.5% of its Cadets have been accepted into colleges and universities. These institutions notably include The United States Naval Academy, Rochester Institute of Technology, Norwich University, The Citadel, Virginia Tech, Liberty University, Regents University, and The United States Military Academy at West Point. Furthermore, the Class of 2014 earned $2,438,000 in college scholarships and financial aid. Hargrave fosters a Christian atmosphere within its academic, leadership, character development, and athletic programs. Not only are Cadets challenged academically and physically, they are challenged spiritually twice each week during mandatory Chapel services. Each Cadet is given the opportunity to participate in contemporary Christian worship through singing, playing an instrument, prayer, and listening to a practical message based on the authority of Scripture. In addition, Cadets may participate in a multi-media project that is presented each Tuesday morning during the Chapel service. All faculty and staff are welcomed and encouraged to attend all Chapel services (and are required to attend Tuesday morning services) and participate in these opportunities for spiritual growth. For many Cadets, our Chapel services are their first exposure to the basic tenets of the Christian faith. In addition, Hargrave has offered Cadets a weekly Bible Study and participation in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes organization. Hargrave’s Chaplain is endorsed by the Southern Baptist Convention and is a commissioned Chaplain in the United States Army Reserves. Hargrave is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS). Hargrave Military Academy is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS). 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 133 Hargrave’s administration, faculty, and staff deeply appreciate the bond between Hargrave Military Academy and the Baptist General Association of Virginia. With the continued support of the Association, the 2014-2015 academic year will see Hargrave continue to provide the direction and spiritual support so critical in training young men to serve God, their communities, and our country with excellence and purpose. 134 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS John Leland Center for Theological Studies Annual Report 2015 2016 S.

This evangelical school based in Arlington, VA, draws students from churches affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, National Baptist Convention, Progressive National Baptist Convention, and American Baptist Churches. A majority of its students are members of the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV). Leland’s primary focus is to prepare them to serve Christ as leaders of local Baptist churches. In 2011 Leland returned its main campus to the totally renovated facilities of the Church at Clarendon, a Baptist congregation in Arlington. First Baptist of Newport News also hosts our Hampton Roads center and several BGAV churches are hosting Leland classes across the state. Leland prepares students for local church ministry by offering classes leading to a M.Div. and also offers the M.T.S. for those who wish to pursue academic careers. It has launched a new degree program, the Masters in Christian Leadership (M.C.L.), which will prepare ministers for local church ministry in staff positions such as Minister of Youth, Children, Worship, or Senior Adults or prepare a Christian to lead outside the local church, in the public square. We have just added Dr. Andrey Shirin to our full-time faculty as Director of Transformational Leadership. During the past year we added Dr. John Lee and Interim Academic Dean, Debbie Wesley as Director of Enrollment, and Vicki Anderson and Associate Director of Admissions for the Hampton Roads area. The Masters degrees must be earned at the Falls Church campus though we also offer some masters classes in Hampton Roads and Roanoke. We offer diploma classes at the undergraduate level in Falls Church, Hampton Roads, Richmond, Mineral, Roanoke, Southwest Virginia, and Charlottesville. 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 135 Oak Hill Academy Annual Report Officers 2018 Mr. Carl Rosberg, Chairman Mr. Kenny Bowen, Vice Chairman Mr. Rex Halsey, Secretary/Treasurer Mrs. Susie Dixon* Dr. Dennis Throckmorton* Mr. Ralph Davis Mr. Tom Saunders Executive Committee Mr. Carl Rosberg, Chairman Mr. Kenny Bowen, Vice Chairman, Planning Committee Chair Mr. Rex Halsey, Secretary/Treasurer Mrs. Susie Dixon Garner, Finance Committee Chair Mr. Don Gibson, Development Committee Chair Mr. Todd Fuller Mr. Marty Parks Dr. Michael D.

It was a time of celebration for the students and their families, and signaled a time of anniversary for the historic Baptist Academy on “The Hill”—135 years of partnership with the Baptist General Association of Virginia. Since its inception, Oak Hill Academy has existed as a Baptist mission-based school. We provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment to high school-aged boys and girls who need a change in their educational setting. The dedicated Christian faculty and staff view their tenure at Oak Hill as a time 136 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS of ministry. Our goal is to help our students secure a solid future, with the Academy serving as the “Turning Point” in their lives. In the fall of 2013, Oak Hill received 142 students from twenty-three U.S. States and from around the world. Over the course of the academic year our enrollment increased to 150—marking a continued pattern of growth for total admission. Our International Students hailed from the countries of South Korea, Canada, China, France, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Australia, Senegal, Czech Republic, and Liberia. On May 11th, a large congregation of family members, students, and faculty and staff welcomed to campus former OHA employee and current public school Principal, Mr. Dwayne Merritt for the annual Baccalaureate address. The sermon to our graduates and student body was well-received by all in attendance. Some six days later 45 graduates received their diplomas—with ninety-three percent accepted to colleges or universities. Among the schools and colleges where Oak Hill alumni are attending this fall are: Old Dominion University, University of Mary Washington, Radford University, George Mason University, University of Virginia, Liberty University, Mary Baldwin College, NC State, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Asheville, East Carolina University, Indiana University, Belmont University (TN), Iowa State University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (FL), Iona University (NY), Washington State University, and Liverpool International College (England). In the athletic arena Oak Hill continues to receive national recognition, particularly on the basketball court—where we finished the season ranked #3 in the USA last year. Our students participate on three boys basketball teams, co-ed soccer, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls track, baseball, and girls volleyball. In the classroom, Oak Hill Academy’s curriculum is designed to challenge the brightest students with honors courses and dual college credit courses, while also being able to provide structure for an underachiever (with a student to faculty ratio of 9:1). Mandatory study halls, weekend socials, club activities, leadership programs, and special events keep our student’s lives well balanced and event-filled. Led by the campus minister, the spiritual development of our students is initiated with prayer and daily devotional time in morning assembly. Students are encouraged to participate by leading this time of reflection and inspiration, with each Friday’s gathering highlighted by a “Senior Devotion.” Oak Hill also partners with Young’s Chapel Baptist Church by providing a unique opportunity for our students to worship together each Sunday morning. It is quite the rewarding experience to witness our very diverse (and predominately urban) student body interact with the good people from rural Grayson County. Unquestionably, the seeds that are planted here by a local Virginia Baptist Church will grow to a healthy and lasting fruition for generations. We teach our students every day that the Oak Hill Academy mission embraces the needs of the larger world. Thus in September 2007 our Academy welcomed the first-ever exchange student from Ricks Institute in Liberia. Our joy in receiving and hosting a new student for the entire academic year is tempered only by our sadness in seeing her depart her new home and friends here on “the hill.” After postponing the enrollment for this (2014-2015) single year because of the ebola virus concerns, Oak Hill Academy looks forward to continuing our work and representation in Africa in 2015. Room, board, tuition and fees for the June 13 – May 14 academic year were $31,184. With a budget of $4,822,592, Virginia Baptists contributed $43,653, which represents .09% of our operating budget. Oak Hill also awarded scholarships or tuition reduction for students in need of financial assistance, totaling $655,362. As a boarding school, the community life of the Academy represents perhaps the central facet of being a student at Oak Hill. Our goal is for our students to observe, live, and participate in a community 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 137 of learning where healthy adult and familial relationships are exhibited daily by our faculty and staff. Over seventy adults and children now reside in housing on our 240-acre campus during the academic session. One hundred and thirty-five years ago a group of Virginia Baptists envisioned a place of learning for the children of this beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain region. And while the constituents of the Academy may now arrive to our campus from afar, the mission of the school continues unabated. We are proud of our Baptist heritage, we accept the challenge of our mission, and look forward to a healthy and productive covenant relationship of ministry with the Baptist General Assembly of Virginia. 138 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond Annual Report Board of Trustees Joseph Boykin Kent Brown Bert Browning (Chair) Debra Bryant* Bob Calloway Valerie Carter Hunter Cook Mike Clingenpeel Ron Crawford (President) Virginia Darnell (Chair) Brian Davis Robert (Bob) K. Fowler Harriet B. Harral (Vice Chair) Virgil Hazelett Joe Lewis* Habacuc Diaz Lopez Jackie Moore Kathryn Norman Susan C. Rucker Jim Somerville* Kelly Stuart (Secretary) Elmer West (Emeritus) * Representing the BGAV In fall 2014 Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond (BTSR) welcomed its largest entering class in four years. Its relatively new location in Villa Park (relocated in the summer of 2013) is proving very successful. The school anticipates growing enrollments over the coming years in spite of the fact seminaries across the country are experiencing declining enrollments on average of 1.5% per year. In February 2014, the seminary hosted its self-study re-accreditation visit from The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS). The Board of Commissioners of ATS approved re-accrediting BTSR for seven years and affirmed the seminary’s facilities, leadership and vision for the future. The ATS Commissioners approved a new degree at BTSR: the Master of Christian Ministry degree (MCM), a two-year professional degree. A major priority of the seminary was achieved this year (beginning July 1, 2014) when the seminary Board of Trustees designated all funds received from the BGAV’s WMII track would go to student scholarships; thus, 100% of funds from the BGAV budget will go to student scholarships. This is in line with the institution’s strategic plan and revised business model. In addition, in fall 2014 the seminary will offer tuition discounts to qualified and promising students from Virginia Baptist churches; ensuring no Virginia Baptist will miss the opportunity of ministry preparation for financial reasons. These decisions by the seminary reflect the institution’s deep appreciation to Virginia Baptists for their faithful support over these 23 years of the seminary’s existence. The BGAV is the largest denominational supporter of the school. BTSR has significantly increased accessibility to a seminary education through its three track system of course offerings: a day student track, an evening and weekend track and an online track. The course schedule provides for an evening and weekend student to earn a Master of Divinity degree (or any other of the seminary’s degrees) in as little as three years by attending classes in the evenings and on Saturdays. This is also true for day students and online students. The course schedule is designed to provide a seminary education to every prospective student on a schedule favorable to the student. BTSR offers four degrees and a Certificate program: The Master of Divinity degree (with concentrations in Biblical Interpretation, Christian Education, Justice and Peacebuilding, Theology and Youth and Student Ministries). These different concentrations are all built on the same foundation of theological education that 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 139 focuses on spiritual formation, global engagement and preparation for ministry. Students may also pursue a dual degree program and earn a Master of Social Work or Master of Science in Patient Counseling with their MDiv. through a special partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University. The Doctor of Ministry degree. The program utilizes Bowen Family Systems theory to provide a contextual leadership focus. Core seminars begin online and culminate with a one-week residential intensive twice a year. Elective courses can be taken on campus, online, or as independent studies. The Master of Theological Studies degree. A degree program intended for students preparing for teaching or theological research, preparation for non-ordained ministry, or those interested in their own general education. This degree program provides exposure to a broad range of theological disciplines, including Christian history, ethics, biblical studies, theology, along with cultural and social concerns. The Master of Christian Ministry degree. A professional-academic degree program designed to prepare women and men for competent leadership in specialized ministries in their faith communities. This program provides students with practical ministry training shaped by a firm grounding in rigorous theological studies. It is designed to meet the need for ministerial leadership training for the wide range of possibilities for 21st century ministry settings. The Graduate Certificate in Theological Studies. This program is focused toward church laity who desire deeper studies in Bible and Theology. This certificate can serve as a gateway to formal application to a degree program at BTSR for those exploring their calling or who desire to begin formal theological studies but are not ready to commit to a program of study. This certificate requires only eighteen hours of course work. BTSR faculty and staff members are active in local congregations. Faculty and staff members regularly preach and teach in local churches. Several faculty and staff members work part-time in local congregations. On any given Sunday, virtually every faculty and staff member is either leading worship, teaching (as a guest), or actively participating in his or her own church. BTSR has 697 graduates – most of whom have served, or are serving Virginia Baptist churches. BTSR greatly values its partnership with the Baptist General Association of Virginia and is deeply grateful to its many friends and supporters in Virginia Baptist churches. 140 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Baptist World Alliance Annual Report Members of the BWA Executive (Governing Board of the Baptist World Alliance) Neville Callam, General Secretary/CEO John Upton, President Daniel Carro, First Vice President Carolyn Fossen, Treasurer David Coffey, Immediate Past President Raquel Contreras, Women’s Aux.

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS Thanks to your generosity, BWA has been able to conduct training programs to encourage increased effectiveness in evangelistic outreach by Baptists. We have implemented a program of relief and development for vulnerable communities, engaged in representation on behalf of people whose rights and freedom were endangered, and organized opportunities for the gathering of the worldwide Baptist family – the leaders, youth, and study commissions that probe matters of importance and interest to the Baptist family. A vigorous program was pursued to share information with Baptists on happenings in the global Baptist family and to offer insights into matters of concern to the churches. Among our many projects, programs, and cooperative efforts, I wish to share just a few that are representative of the many initiatives you have helped us undertake. EVANGELISM AND EDUCATION Haiti A Jesus Christ Bread of Life (BOL) Conference planned and sponsored by the BWA brought seven groups in Haiti, including two that are already member organizations of the BWA, to focus on holistic development as an expression of authentic Christian witness and evangelism. This is the first time in living memory that such a diverse group of Baptists in Haiti has met to participate in an event. I was impressed by the vision exhibited by Haitian Baptists and believe that Christian ministry in the Caribbean country has both a rich heritage and a bright future. The Haiti Conference was part of BWA’s support for evangelistic work in French-speaking countries. This effort began with a BOL Conference in Nigeria for Francophone countries on the African continent and was followed by the BOL Conference in Haiti for French-speaking people in the Caribbean. The third of these conferences will be held next month in France. All pastors in Baptist conventions in France, together with representative leaders from Belgium, will participate. We are pleased to have been able to share edifying printed materials in French for educational and evangelistic purposes. Turkey Last year, BWA supported a project to print 15,000 copies of the New Testament in the Turkish language for distribution in Turkey and Moldova as part of an evangelistic outreach program. During our Annual Gathering in Turkey, further contributions were made toward the printing of Bibles and Bible portions for use in the evangelistic program of the Fellowship of Baptists of Turkey. Three of the four Baptist pastors in the Fellowship were sponsored to attend the Gathering where they were encouraged in the work they do in a Muslim majority context. The meeting in Turkey offered them opportunity to develop and strengthen their relationship with the rest of the global Baptist family. Please pray for the Baptist community in Turkey. 142 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS Dr. Neville Callam, praying for the president and general secretary of the Fellowship of Baptists in Turkey. SERVING THE LORD WHO APPEARS INCOGNITO BWA supported many projects that have helped Baptists and their neighbors encounter the risen Lord in charitable and caring ways. You have helped BWA to offer a witness in the name of Christ and on behalf of the worldwide Baptist family. For example: • We have made funds available to aid those fleeing violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the Buzi community, we supplied more than 200 farmers with seeds and farming tools to enable the reestablishment of their farms which had been ravaged by wilt disease. • Hundreds of residents in the slums of Mumbai are able to access health care, HIV education, counseling, and over the counter medicine through a project funded by BWAid. • Seven hundred orphans living in a tuberculosis sanatorium on the outskirts of Moscow, receive care through the partnership of BWAid and the Brotherhood of Compassion of the Russian Union of Evangelical Christians-Baptists. We support the project by providing food, medicine, hygiene, and sanitary items for one year. • In Bangladesh, we support an arsenic mitigation program that is screening and testing 600 wells in 12 villages and providing filters to those wells that are found to be contaminated by arsenic. • Families affected by flash floods in Argentina received food, clothing, and household items to help them reestablish their lives. A building repair program was also facilitated. • In Syria, we support 200 families displaced by the ongoing crisis and in Jordan, and we provide lifesustaining meals to more than 1,200 Syrian refugees. • In partnership with Baptists churches in Haiti, we continue our cholera-prevention program through the construction of latrines and community water tanks on church properties in ten rural communities of the country. This program has been running for four years. Lebanon and Jordan Recently, BWA representatives visited Lebanon and Jordan to identify appropriate ways to respond to Syrian refugees who are desperate for basic human needs and who are concerned about the denial of their dignity. BWA’s local partners in both countries assist unregistered refugees who do not qualify for help from the United Nations or some other aid agencies. Baptists around the world continue to demonstrate God’s love by working together in response to the needs of refugees. PROMOTING AND DEFENDING RELIGIOUS LIBERTY Senegal We celebrate BWA’s role in aiding the release of José Dilson Alves da Silva and Zeneide Moreira Novais, Brazilian Presbyterian missionaries serving in Senegal. Arrested, jailed, and tried in Mbour, José and Zeneide demonstrate the gospel of God’s love and were sent to a prison in Thies. Over the last eight years, they have been ministering to street children, providing them with food, clothing, shelter, and an education. However, Senegalese authorities falsely accused them of conspiracy, solicitation, and trafficking of children. Although now released from prison, José and Zeneide must still answer the charges brought against them. We will continue to defend their religious liberty. Nigeria Early in 2013, Baptists in Nigeria expressed deep appreciation for BWA’s human rights visit to their country in December 2012. “Words are inadequate to express our appreciation to you all for putting your lives on the line to come to us. That was quite an amazing love,” said Olasupo Ayokunle, president and chief executive officer of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC). 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 143 The visit was in response to widespread violence in the West African country allegedly carried out by Boko Haram, a jihadist group that aims to establish Shariah law in Nigeria. The group has carried out a series of bombings and shootings against Christian churches and government facilities. They have also kidnapped school children and others in their drive to achieve their Islamist goals. Our visit inspired greater collaboration between Baptists and Muslims in Nigeria. Together with other Christians, they are uniting in a campaign to dissuade acceptance of Islamic extremism. GATHERING THE YOUTH Singapore In July 2013, we hosted 2,500 young Baptists in Singapore at the 16th Baptist Youth World Conference. With them, we sought to ignite passion for Christ and realize the desire for the Christian unity among young people who are committed followers of Christ. Participants at the Conference packaged 285,120 meals for residents in New Hope Orphanage in Cambodia. Many participants, including some from Virginia, remain grateful for the way the experience of the Singapore Youth Conference has expanded their worldview, inspired their zeal for the faith, and changed their priorities as they look toward the future. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS BWA’s main income sources are donations by member organizations, churches, and individuals. We value all these partners without whose cooperation the BWA cannot fulfill its ministry. Although giving by individual churches fell last year by 4.94%, we registered small increases in donations in other categories. Virginia Baptists have been outstanding as faithful partners in the BWA mission. We are very grateful to you. With your help, BWA is able to nurture the passion for mission and evangelism and to help empower Baptist churches in their mission. Because of your gifts, we have been able to reach out to Baptists and others who might never receive the attention of aid or development agencies. We have also been able to make representation on behalf of those who may seem unimportant in the world’s estimation but who are great exploits in the name of our Lord Jesus. We are convinced that, as long as BWA remains committed to the mission given us, God will make provision for this movement’s continuing effectiveness. OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS In 2013, we welcomed five new member organizations: • The Baptist Mission of South Haiti, which was formed in 1936 and has 50,000 members in 488 churches, • The Connection of Haitian Baptist Churches for Integral Mission, which was established in 2004 and comprises 15,000 members in 58 churches, • The Baptist Union of the Turks and Caicos Islands – a small association of 500 members in 13 churches – was established in the 1830s in this British overseas territory in the Caribbean Sea, • The Baptist Church of the Congo, inaugurated in 1996 with a current membership of 2,850 in 26 churches, becomes the eleventh BWA member organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a vast country of 906,000 square miles, and • The Convention of Independent Baptist Churches, which has 67,908 members in 437 churches, joins the Brazilian Baptist Convention and the National Baptist Convention as BWA member bodies in the largest country in South America. 144 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS BWA has affirmed a Covenant on Intra-Baptist Relations. This Covenant is available at http://bwanet.org/2013-0814-13-07-48. We commend it to you as a contribution to cementing respectful relationships among any group of Baptists anywhere. CONTINUING MINISTRY As we look toward the future, we request your prayers and continued support. We are looking forward to the 21st Baptist World Congress with great excitement. We know the experience we will have in Durban, South Africa, will be a life-changing one and we urge you to participate. The Congress begins on the evening of Wednesday, July 22, 2015, and ends at noon on Sunday, July 26, 2015. You are invited to visit the BWA website at www.bwanet.org/ congress for full information and regular updates on the Congress. You are invited to come to the Congress to: Celebrate Jesus Christ, the Door; worship God with Baptists from around the world in a variety of styles; enter into fellowship with thousands of Congress participants and give expression to our unity as Baptist Christians; share the Good News with people who need to know the God who opens a door to abundant life through Jesus Christ; join in the struggle for human rights and religious liberty on behalf of everyone for whom our Lord died; and seek ways of helping those in need, never forgetting how unjust structures help undermine human dignity. As you meet new friends from around the world, explore partnership possibilities in the service of God’s mission. As you join with others in entering through the door to abundant life, consider what new call and challenge the Spirit of God may make clear to you and let your love for Jesus soar. BWA is grateful to have partners like this Virginia Baptist Family. With your cooperation, BWA has been greatly strengthened through the ministry of John Upton who, by any measure, has been an outstanding BWA president and a celebrated ambassador for Virginia Baptists. What a blessing he has been for Baptists worldwide. Through his witness, respect for Virginia Baptists has attained stellar proportions. Other Virginia Baptists continue to help strengthen BWA’s witness and support its ministry. BWA treasurer, Carolyn Fossen, has made her considerable gifts available to the BWA and chair of our Audit Committee, Melvin Harris, completes the trio of highly respected Virginians whose commitment, competence, and integrity are celebrated across the Baptist constituency. They are joined by Craig Sherouse, who chairs the BWA’s Baptist Heritage and Identity Commission. Many other Virginia Baptists serve on BWA commissions and committees, notably the Budget and Finance and the Audit Committees. Thank you Virginia Baptists for the sacrificial support you give to Baptists around the world through the BWA. Thank you for the rich source of encouragement you provide Baptists everywhere. We prayerfully ask for your continued support and thank God for your faithfulness.

Dr. Bruce Queen Mr. Archibald Wallace, III Mr. R. Bland Weaver, Jr. The Ministering to Ministers (MTM) Foundation equips ministers through education to manage and thrive even in church conflict and also reclaims wounded ministers through Healthy Transitions Wellness Retreats for Ministers and Spouses to continue to respond to God’s call into Christian ministry. The MTM mission statement, “to serve as advocates for clergy and their families in all faith groups who are experiencing personal or professional crisis due to deteriorating employment or congregation-clergy relationships,” addresses the impending church leadership crisis in our churches and communities. Why? Over 20,000 protestant ministers are forced from their ministry positions each year with only a little over half of these going back into a church ministry position. We believe that healthy ministers help produce healthy churches, healthy churches help produce healthy communities, and healthy communities help produce a healthy society. This is also the focus of the Emerging Leaders and Empowering Leaders elements of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board’s Kingdom Advance initiative. Many of those to whom MTM ministers in the midst of crisis are enabled to resolve situations and either stay in their ministry position or make a healthier transition to their next ministry position. Wounded and burned-out ministers are renewed for greater effectiveness, joy in ministry, and resilience when the going gets tough. A Virginia Baptist pastor stated: “You blessed my wife and me as we came as wounded people to your Ministering to Ministers retreat. We left with the tools to begin to heal. We will be celebrating 10 years of change and growth that began the week of that retreat in Virginia. May the Lord bless you!” The Ministering to Ministers Foundation was created in 1994 by some ministers who had experienced forced termination working with concerned laypersons aware of the effects these forced terminations had on their own faith life and congregational effectiveness as well as on the ministers and their families. Out of these experiences and 20 years of ministry has grown the conviction that the epidemic of forced terminations in churches of all sizes, all denominations, and all parts of the theological spectrum diminishes not only the quality and availability of excellent leadership, but also the health of congregations and the communities in which they are located. In a recent survey of MTM wellness 146 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS retreat alumni, two-thirds of those responding to the survey have gone back into a church ministry position. During 2014 and 2015, many events are planned to celebrate MTM’s 20th anniversary. In addition to the Healthy Transitions Wellness Retreats for Ministers and Spouses – the centerpiece of the MTM ministry – are numerous one-day workshops, single session awareness presentations, Retreat Alumni Gatherings, Fundraising events, and a focus on helping clergy, denominations, seminaries and key lay leaders work together to produce a healthier church environment that is conducive to reaching and nurturing people and resulting in more Christians responding to God’s call to vocational ministry, as well as greater retention of current ministers in parish ministry. Charles H. Chandler Executive Director 2014 BOOK OF REPORTS 147 2014 VIRGINIA BAPTIST ANNUAL PROCEEDINGS Proceedings 2014 Annual Meeting Tuesday Morning 1.

He shared that in 2014-15 Virginia Baptists were commemorating the 300th anniversary of the beginning of a Baptist presence in Virginia with the arrival in the spring of 2015 of Robert Norden of England who planted the first Baptist church in the colony. He shared information on procedures for addressing the body and introduced his assistant, Wayne Hannah. (Note: The first reporting of the attendance indicated 524 registered messengers. The final tabulation for the 2014 meeting was 647 messengers, 5 officers, 250 visitors for a total attendance of 902.) 6. Norman Burnes brought the report of the Committee on Boards and Committees. He called attention to the printed report (see Book of Reports, p. 66-76) and shared on the screen the appointments which had been made since the Book of Reports was printed. He explained that the committee had proceeded as required to nominate persons to serve on the Virginia Baptist Mission Board and that once the revisions to the Constitution and Bylaws were approved by the body, these individuals will be elected to the new Virginia Baptist Mission Council as its first members.

Chuck Harrison reported for the Budget Committee. He called attention to the committee’s report (see Book of Reports, p. 50-53). He noted that the proposed budget for 2015 carried a reduction of $714,000. He explained that the Religious Herald no longer exists and Baptist News Global is the new entity which is identified on Book of Reports, p. 52 as ABPnews/ Herald. He also noted that Virginia Intermont College, a longtime partner, had closed in 2014. He further noted that the Chaplain’s Service was now known as GraceInside. He stated that the reduction to the budget had necessitated a reduction for every partner according to their corresponding percentage of the budget. On behalf of the committee, he moved adoption of the report. 9. David Washburn, treasurer, presented the report of the BGAV’s finances. He expressed appreciation for the support given to him in his first year as treasurer. 1) The treasurer reported on behalf of the Baptist Extension Board, announcing that it had 80 outstanding loans totaling $16,515,647, had approved 12 loans during the year totaling $3,026,067, and had available funds in the amount of $5,554,893; 2) he presented the results of the various special offerings year-to-date, as follows: Alma Hunt Offering $599,422 as compared to $605,955 for the same period last year or a difference of -1.08%; Lottie Moon Offering $1,899,856 compared to $1,570,497 or an increase of 20.97%; Annie Armstrong Offering - $1,188,419 compared to $1,174,635 or 1.1% increase; CBF Global Missions Offering $252,135 compared to $267,414 or -5.71% over last year; World Hunger Offering - $122,180 compared to $105,394 or 15.93% increase; and other designations received in the amount of $498,406 compared to $631,537 for the same period of 2013. The total amounts received for the various offerings was $4,560,418 which represented an increase of 4.71% over the same period of last year which was $4,355,433; 3) the treasurer announced the year-to-date receipts for the Cooperative Missions contributions, as follows: $9,045,306 or 74.1% of the budgeted amount of $12,214,000 with the following items: Virginia Missions and Ministries received $5,314,021 or 59% of the total; $178,283 for Partnership Missions or 2%; $657,636 for the various BGAV ministry partners in Virginia or 7%; and $2,895,366 or 32% for World Mission Causes. The designated offerings were $4,560,418 for a total of contributions of $13,605,724. He further noted that the $9,045,306 received for Cooperative Missions in Virginia represented 88.9% of the year-to-date requirements. He noted that the amount meant that the CM gifts were about 11% behind yet since receipts are virtually in line with last year, the organization has been able to manage financially. He reported that 1,179 of the 1,400 member churches had contributed thus far in 2014. 4) The treasurer presented the information that the CM receipts for Virginia had come in the following percentages: 37% from customized plans of giving; 27% from WM2; 26% from WM1; and 10% from WM3. In conclusion, the treasurer expressed that it is a privilege to serve Virginia Baptists and that he recognizes the financial concerns in which the member churches are operating and remains thankful that the churches and the BGAV can work together. He expressed appreciation for the commitment to the broader mission and ministry of Virginia Baptists and for the trust shown in allowing the BGAV to be good stewards of those dollars. PROCEEDINGS 10. John V. Upton, Jr. presented the report of the executive director. He commented that the year had offered tremendous opportunities which included things upon which to build a future. 1) He presented Recommendation I (see Book of Reports, p. 23) on 2015 Special Observances and Emphases for 2015 and noted the change in the deletion of Religious Herald Sunday. In voting, the recommendation was approved. 2) He presented Recommendation II on Special Observances and Emphases for 2016 (see Book of Reports, p. 24) and in voting, it was approved. 3) He presented Recommendation III on Special Offerings (see Book of Reports, p. 24) and in voting, it was approved. 4) The executive director announced that in the past Gardner-Webb University had provided scholarships for pastors and faculty to teach in the Leadership Link and that in recent months Gardner-Webb University had asked to become a partner and, therefore, he brought a covenant of partnership (see Book of Reports, p. 37-42) between the BGAV and Gardner-Webb University. He brought the matter as a recommendation of the VBMB and in a time for discussion and hearing none, in voting, it was approved. 5) The executive director presented the allocations for the Alma Hunt Offering (see Book of Reports, p. 45) and in voting, it was approved. The executive director expressed the appreciation of the BGAV for the ministry of Randall Robinson and of Jerry Jones. He read both Resolutions of Appreciation (see Book of Reports, p. 35-36). In voting, the body approved separately the resolutions for the two ministers. The executive director presented the proposed BGAV Constitution/Bylaws (see Book of Reports, p. 25-33, 34) and the proposed Articles of Incorporation. Darrell Foster presented the documents for the body’s consideration. He reminded the body of the endorsement by the BGAV at last year’s meeting of a new governance structure. He informed the body that the committee had met monthly to take the report of the Governance Study Committee and craft a new constitution and bylaws for the BGAV. He informed the body that the committee made two changes which were endorsed by the Governance Study Committee and the VBMB. The two changes were as follows: 1) to put on the new Executive Board the position of the immediate past president. He offered the rationale behind the decision, noting that for about 15 years the organization has followed the process of elevating the first vice-president to president which means that the person has served, in the past, three years including as first vice-president, president and immediate past president and the committee felt that this person should continue to serve across three years and 2) to give voting rights to the executive director and treasurer which would bring the Board into line with most other boards of trustees. He further explained that the corporate name presently is the Virginia Baptist Mission Board and is thus listed with the State Corporation Commission and that with adoption of the new direction, we would need to change the corporate name to the Baptist General Association of Virginia. (He called attention to p. 148 in the Book of Reports which gives the current existing documents for comparison with the proposed documents.) He noted that the proposed changes allows for reducing the documents from four items to two. He encouraged the messengers to attend the breakout sessions and express their concerns. He also noted that in tomorrow’s session the messengers will be asked to adopt the new governing documents and, if passed, to elect the first Virginia Baptist Executive Board and the first Virginia Baptist Mission Council. Foster presented the following motion: “That the Baptist General Association of Virginia adopt the proposed new Constitution/Bylaws, which shall replace the current Constitution and the current Bylaws; that the Baptist General Association of Virginia adopt the proposed new Articles of Incorporation of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, which shall replace the current Articles of Incorporation of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board; and that the Virginia Baptist Executive Board be authorized to make any amendments to the new Articles of Incorporation that may PROCEEDINGS 153 be required by the State Corporation Commission and/or required by law.” He explained that there may be technical changes and, therefore, the motion allowed for the Executive Board to act upon such changes. The president announced that the amendments to the Constitution/ Bylaws can be submitted to the parliamentarians or to the clerk by 4:30 p.m. today. The president called for miscellaneous business and hearing none, he declared a break in the proceedings. 11. Music was provided by David Bailey and the Arrabon Band. David Bailey opened the period with prayer and the body sang praise songs. 12. John Upton called the body into a period of worship. He introduced Gary Nelson whom he has known through their contacts within the Baptist World Alliance. He shared that Nelson chairs the Baptist World Aid Committee and serves as president of Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto, Canada. 13. Jennifer Mullins led the body in prayer. 14. The Arrabon Band provided further music. 15. John Upton captured the spirit of the BGAV at this time in its history with his remarks on “Sailing Fast Into Tomorrow.” He offered a rhetorical question: in the landscape of Baptists in North America and Christendom in North America, who are we as the BGAV? “Who are we and what is unique about us and what’s our primary contribution.” He shared that in recent months he had asked others beyond the BGAV to help him describe the General Association. He explained the meaning of the letters within the name, noting that the “B” is for Baptist and it is cognitive and at the core of who we are. He enumerated the various time-honored Baptist distinctives and principles. The “G” is for General which he saw as an attitude which means we are about “general business” or “the general work” of the local congregations, “the general work of the Kingdom.” The “A” stands for Association or relationship which implies “a free choice” and noted that we ask no one to be conventional. The “of Virginia” is important in that it is not “in Virginia” which implies as much a temperament as geography. He shared that he is hearing all over the comments of people who ask how to become a part of this community called the BGAV. He shared that others describe us as 1) Gospel centric – whatever we do has to be rooted in Scripture; 2) relationally rich – with relationships everywhere and, therefore, if a crisis happens anywhere in the world we can be there and we are relationally rich even within this body; 3) reasonable, gracious, civil – which is a favorable comment to hear in these times of a toxic environment; 4) heart for the ‘not-yet’ – able to embrace the future; and 5) investing generously in shared mission – noting that we give generously of our resources whatever they may be for the advancement of the Kingdom. He shared the various church plants that have joined the BGAV in 2014 including Seoul, South Korea and Washington State. He also shared all of the BGAV member churches outside of Virginia. Videos were shown including a pastor and church start in Honolulu, Hawaii, a church in Syracuse, New York, and new innovations of church life in Pulaski County, Virginia and in Abingdon, Virginia with the Highlands Fellowship. John Upton introduced Emmanuel “Moose” Mustafa of Ghana who shared statistics on the “More Than Nets” ministry project and noted that there has been a 42% reduction in malaria within the area which now has nets. “Moose” shared greetings from the Ghana Baptist Convention and expressed their appreciation for the ministry and cited the need for 60,000 more nets. A video was shown on “pioneering people” in connection with the Fresh Expressions movement. John Upton commented that Virginia Baptists are “a caring people” and noted that the organization has reached out in the Ebola crisis. He shared that the BGAV has provided funds for the purchase of rubber gloves. He further shared that many in Liberia were starving and needed food and 154 PROCEEDINGS that our staff found that there were hundreds of thousands of meals in storage in South Africa and he announced that a freighter was arriving this week with the needed food for Liberia. 16. Gary Nelson shared his first message: “Living in the Borderlands” based upon Luke 19:110. He commented that the challenge in the 21st century is what does it mean to be the church in the time in which we are called. He shared encounters of Jesus in the Gospel and noted that he gets his students to look at Jesus and then develop a theology of engagement. He shared insights from the story of Zacchaeus and how Jesus engaged the despised tax collector. He informed the body that less than six percent of all Canadians go to church on a given Sunday and, therefore, many Canadians check the box of “no religion” yet 80% of the people say that they believe in God. He observed that people today want to talk about spirituality but not about the institutional church. In reflecting upon the story of Zacchaeus, he noted that Jesus does the unexpected in the story and he reflected upon the statement that “they all muttered.” He also commented that in the story Jesus finds the “not-so-lovely, the lost and such is the very character of God.” He noted that Zacchaeus was called by name and that Jesus identified with this person. He concluded by stating that “the haunting question of the 21st century when everything is changing is simple: what kind of association do you want to be, what kind of church, what kind of follower of Christ do you want to be? He closed with prayer. 17. At 11:55 a.m. Blake Tommey offered the benediction. Tuesday Evening 18. At 6:50 p.m. the Arrabon Band played prelude music. 19. At 7:00 p.m. John Upton shared reflections from his service as president of the Baptist World Alliance. He expressed appreciation to Virginia Baptists for the opportunity which has been his to have served as president of the BWA. He spoke about a memorable week spent recently with the English Baptists and with the Irish Baptists and Scottish Baptists in their annual conferences. He further shared that he was invited to speak at Oxford among many who were not Christians and he was asked to talk about “patience” as a virtue. He reflected that the topic became intriguing to him. He realized that we are called to live in the “inbetween places with a sense of vision and wonder yet in the reality of intense suffering. He observed that “light and dark talk to one another in this place called patience.” He shared experiences which he had with the people of Nagaland which is 97% Baptist and he told about a woman whom he met who runs a halfway house to rescue prostitutes. He called her “the bravest woman I have known.” He offered statistics which he had learned from a meeting of demographers which indicate “huge implications for the mission world coming in the next couple of decades.” He stated that “we in the church need to learn how to become multi-cultural.” He offered experiences from the meeting last summer of the BWA in Turkey. “Our purpose was to open up the freedom in that part of the world,” stated the executive director. “And the Turkish Baptists have said since our visit that they had never been able to enjoy such freedom until now.” In all of these instances, the executive director felt that he had seen “light and dark.” He concluded: “We are a patient people because we are a people of hope.” 20. Nichole Prillaman moderated a panel discussion on the role of the church in a world of change. The panelists were John Upton, Gary Nelson and “Moose.” “Moose” shared much of his own personal testimony and how he converted from a Muslim to a Christian. In considering the kind of chaos affecting him, “Moose” told about witnessing in the northern part of Ghana where there is great poverty, limited education and much unemployment. PROCEEDINGS 155 Gary Nelson felt that the crisis was globalization, emphasizing that we cannot ignore the problems of the world. He also shared that in his estimation chaos really was positive. He observed: “The biggest change is that everything is being changed.” John Upton felt that it was so easy to get caught up with our own little anxieties that you lose the big picture and our calling in Christ. He felt that we were being distracted with ourselves. He commented: “Maybe we can transform the world with some partners we don’t know we had.” Nelson added the observation: “Why do we feel we should have a privileged position and at least in North America we should be willing to give up privilege.” “Moose” commented: “We carry the Gospel but the appropriate way is to let the people be a part of the process. If you are not careful you are going to impose yourself. We (meaning the people of the Ghana Baptist Convention) identified the problem as malaria and we asked for help.” Nichole Prillaman asked the panel what was currently giving them hope in the midst of chaos. Upton responded: “When we visit churches I get hope… there are people who I could count on and they taught me the gift of presence while daring to believe that God is going to do something.” Nelson described the transient situation of the population in Toronto, noting that some of the church planters are from out of Canada and that gives him hope. “Moose” stated that “we have reduced malaria and if we keep doing this we are transforming the world.” 21. The Band led in congregational singing. 22. Gary Nelson offered the second of his messages: “An Exercise in Not Missing the Moment” based upon Luke 10:38-42. He observed that “we never experience Jesus in the same way. We experience through the filters in our own life.” He reminded the messengers and visitors that “Matthew wrote his Gospel to a persecuted group of people and felt it was important to share the lineage and history; Mark was writing for those who have discovered Jesus and does not even care about the birth narrative; John tells you why he wrote the story; Luke is an historian, a doctor and he tells the story of Jesus in a thematic way.” He added: “We think the Mary and Martha story is about being and doing.” He added his theory that “Mary has done this to Martha before.” “The tragedy is that this was a great time to sit at the feet of Jesus. God has come to the door and the sisters have a great opportunity to sit with Jesus. This was the opportunity to ask the questions. The Mary-Martha story is about not missing the moment – the moment when God just shows up and does something different. The tragedy of the Gospel story is that the religious people missed it.” He urged his hearers not to “miss the moment that God puts before you” and not to “miss the moment to sit at the feet of Jesus.” He stated: “I believe in a God that goes out ahead of us.” He closed with prayer. 23. Welford Orrock offered the benediction. Wednesday Morning 24. David Bailey and the Arrabon Band offered prelude music. 25. At 8:30 a.m. President McDearis called the session to order. 26. Nic Uebel offered a prayer. 27. The president announced that the agenda would be revised to shift the voting on the Constitution and Bylaws to a later time to afford messengers time to enter the meeting hall. 28. Rupert Rose reported for the Resolutions Committee. He brought a Resolution of Appreciation, as follows: 156 PROCEEDINGS Resolution of Appreciation With praise and thanksgiving to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we have gathered, and to whose glory we consecrate our work together, We, the messengers of the 191st meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV), meeting at Hampton, Virginia, November 11-12, 2014, do hereby make it known that: We express our gratitude to the staff of the Hampton Roads Convention Center and to local businesses for their gracious hospitality. We commend the local associations, churches and volunteers for all they have done to facilitate this annual meeting. We give thanks to the Program Committee for planning and conducting this meeting. We commend all the program participants for their positive contributions. We commend the Governance Committee and the Constitution and Bylaws Committee for their visionary work in providing a new governance structure that launches the BGAV into the future. We are grateful to the staff of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board for their faithful and thoughtful preparation of this annual meeting. We cherish their continuous, committed service to Virginia Baptists, our churches, lay people and ministers. We especially appreciate the capable leadership of John V. Upton, Jr., our Executive Director. With appreciation and thanksgiving we celebrate with our partner in ministry, HopeTree Family Services, on their 125th anniversary. We commend the service and contributions of our First Vice-President, Ann Brown; Second Vice-President, Ed Fisher; Clerk, Fred Anderson; Assistant Clerk, Wayne Hannah; and Parliamentarians, Richard Bidwell, Beth Fogg and Raymond Duke. We appreciate the dedicated effort of Tommy McDearis, our President, for his valuable and tireless leadership. Finally, we resolve to continue working together in our Baptist General Association of Virginia to advance the Redeemer’s Kingdom. In a time for voting, the Resolution was adopted by the body. Rupert Rose also informed the body that a Resolution on the Sanctity of Life was presented by a messenger and reported that the committee considered the proposed Resolution and declined to bring it forward since the BGAV’s statement on abortion previously was approved twice before the body in earlier years. (Note: In 1978 the BGAV adopted the report of a special committee to study the practice of abortion at the Virginia Baptist Hospital and in 1997 the BGAV approved a reaffirmation of the statement.) Randy Wagner, a messenger from First Church, Charlottesville, stated that he met with the Resolutions Committee and asked for the consent of the body for a reading of the Resolution as presented. Seconded. The chairman of the Resolutions Committee expressed the opinion of the committee that the Resolution was not to be brought forward because of the two previous actions. In a time for discussion and hearing none, in voting on the request to hear the Resolution, the motion failed. 29. Chuck Harrison expressed his willingness to entertain comments and questions as regards the proposed budget. Hearing none, in voting the report of the budget committee was adopted. 30. John Upton shared that the HopeTree Family Services ministry partner was celebrating its 125th anniversary. A video presentation on the agency was shown. Upton also announced PROCEEDINGS 157 that Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia was celebrating its 140th anniversary and a video was shown highlighting the life and work of that organization. 31. John Upton noted that whenever God’s Spirit moves, something happens and he felt such was the case with the signing of a covenant with Gardner-Webb University. Tracey Jessup, vice-president for Christian life and service at the University, brought greetings from GardnerWebb. (It was explained that the University’s president was engaged with an accreditation committee and regretted his absence from the covenant signing.) Jessup noted that the institution and the BGAV share many of the same core values. The signing of the covenant was undertaken by President McDearis, John Upton and previously by the president of the University. 32. The president called the messengers attention to the matter of the Constitution and Bylaws. He called for discussion and hearing none, in voting the report of the Constitution and Bylaws including the new documents as well as the Articles of Incorporation were duly approved. (Note: The voting tally was as follows: 335 votes cast with 321 for the motion to approve and 14 against.) 33. Ann Brown presented the list of proposed Executive Board members and moved the election of the 15 individuals. In a time for discussion, Mark Long, First Church, Charlottesville, stated that in examining the list he found a high percentage of those chosen are identified with the CBF and, therefore, it represents a higher percentage than those within the BGAV who identify with the SBC and, consequently, the list is not representative. He expressed concern that the BGAV was “sailing fast” to the CBF and not the SBC. Hearing no further discussion, in voting the motion carried. Ann Brown moved that the current membership of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board including those elected in yesterday’s session become the first members of the Virginia Baptist Mission Council. Hearing no further discussion, in voting it carried. (Note: The names of the 15 elected to serve on the Executive Board are, as follows: Vivian Clingenpeel, Pat Ellis, Laurie Harris, Ben Jamison, Wayne Maness, Steve Allsbrook, Dianne Jones-Freeman, Becky McKinney, Kevin Meadows, Herbert Ponder, Will Baker, Lora Gravatt, Carl Johnson, Tamara McBride, and Bart McNiel.) 34. The president opened the floor for nominations for the officers of the BGAV. He called for nominations for the office of president. Pat Bloxom, Mappsville Church (The Bridge) nominated Ann Fitzgerald Brown. Diane Shoemake, River Road Church (Richmond) and Debbie Carter, First Church, Richmond (Richmond) both seconded the nomination. Hearing no further nominations, in voting, Ann Brown was duly elected. Nominations opened for the office of first vice-president. Bert Browning, Huguenot Road Church (Richmond) nominated Nancy Stanton McDaniel. Daniel Wilson, First Church, Martinsville (Henry County) and Vallerie King, Emmaus Church (Dover) both seconded the nomination. Hearing no further nominations, in voting, Nancy Stanton McDaniel was elected. Nominations opened for the office of second vice-president. Nancy Moore, Williamsburg (Peninsula) nominated William “Bill” Nieporte. Terry Spencer, Memorial Church, seconded the nomination. Hearing no further nominations, in voting, Bill Nieporte was elected. Nominations opened for the office of clerk and Michael J. Clingenpeel, River Road Church (Richmond) nominated Fred Anderson. James Collie, Wise Church (Wise), seconded the nomination. Hearing no further nominations, in voting, Fred Anderson was elected. 35. John Upton presided over the time of expressing appreciation to the out-going officers and the installation of the new officers. 36. The Association paused for the Memorial Service. David Peppler expressed appreciation to his fellow members of the Memorial Committee. The families of the honorees stood and were accorded a round of affectionate applause. Charles Gibson read Scripture, 2 158 PROCEEDINGS Timothy 4:6-8. Joyce Clemmons read the poem by Tennyson, “Crossing the Bar.” A video presentation was shown which pictured the deceased. 37. The president expressed his appreciation for the opportunity which had been his to serve a term as president of the BGAV. 38. During the final worship time of the meeting, David Bailey and the Arrabon Band presented music. Gary Nelson offered the third of his messages, “Living Outside Our Comfort Zones” based upon John 5:1-15. 39. The president introduced Neville Callam, executive director of the Baptist World Alliance, who brought greetings. He expressed his appreciation to Virginia Baptists for their support and pronounced John Upton as one of the best presidents which the BWA has been fortunate to experience. He further expressed greetings from the Baptists of the world. 40. Gary Nelson continued his final message. He reflected again upon the small number of Canadians who are identified with churches. In referring to the Scripture lesson, Nelson noted that when Jesus came by the pool, he asked the lame man the strangest question: “Do you want to get well?” Some of the message from the speaker included the following: “Jesus told him to get up and walk. Jesus did not respond as the religious leaders thought that He should. The lost are waiting for us to find them. Their response is so often, ‘Why did you wait so long to share the good news?’ If the only thing you have to offer is the church and religion, it does not reach those who need Christ! The story that you have to share is the sacred story that comes from the heart. Jesus broke through to this man. We need to offer transparency. Jesus dealt with this man physically before he dealt with him spiritually. The Gospel is both words and deeds. We are not to just tell the Gospel but we must live the Gospel! We are a culture that needs to be broken. What is it that Jesus came to do to change people’s lives? If you as an association are accused of anything, be accused of living the Gospel! Virginia Baptists have something special and don’t lose it! Go with the knowledge that God is calling you to be His people.” 41. Ann Brown, the newly elected president, pronounced the benediction and the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Fred Anderson Clerk PROCEEDINGS 159 2014 VIRGINIA BAPTIST ANNUAL MEMORIALS William Donald Ambrose September 28, 1936–June 8, 2014 The Reverend William Donald Ambrose, 77, sang his last earthly song and entered into his heavenly home June 8, 2014. Rev. Ambrose was a native of Gloucester, was graduated from Gloucester High School in 1955, and Richmond Professional Institute (now VCU) with a bachelor of music education degree; then from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with a bachelor and master in church music. Rev. Ambrose was music director at Gloucester High School from 1959–1962 and founder of the first Gloucester High School Marching Band. He began his career in ministry, serving at Oakwood Memorial Baptist Church and Calvary Methodist Church, both in Richmond; Calvary Baptist Church, Lexington, KY; Valley Station Baptist Church, Valley Station, KY; Parkview Baptist Church, Newport News, VA, for 21 years; Providence Baptist Church, where he was the Minister of Music, Youth, and Children, and Associate Pastor for 20-plus years; and choir director at Newington Baptist Church for a number of years after his retirement. He taught and led singing at the nursing homes in which he was still actively involved at the time of his death; and he sang with the Virginia Baptist Male Chorale and The Centurymen (100 SBC Ministers of Music), sharing the gospel through music all over the world.

Ambrose was an accomplished pianist and organist and loved to play the auto harp. He gave piano lessons and directed choirs with the young and old.

Ambrose was a spiritual shepherd and church leader. He was a Christian gentleman with a wonderful smile and a humble soul. To the hungry, he offered food. To the sick, he offered company. To the lost, he offered the hope of Jesus. If you were to define “pastor,” Donald Ambrose fit that definition. He was a prayerful man who had a great love for His Lord, his family and his people. He will be remembered as a shepherd who loved his flock, admired his fellow clergy and selflessly poured himself out for the good of his church. Rev. Ambrose is a true example of what it means to be a Christ-like servant leader. He was preceded in death by his parents, William Woodrow and Rosa Walker Ambrose.

She also greatly loved her seven grandchildren: Leigh, Ashley, Holly, Anne, Elizabeth, Amy and Emily; and one great-grandson, Camden. One of the highlights of her last years was getting to see Camden run the halls of Carrington Place in Wytheville, where she spent her last three years.

Notes to Financial Statements 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Nature of Activities: Virginia Baptist Mission Board, Inc. (“VBMB”) is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to spreading the gospel through establishing, developing, and promoting all aspects of church ministry and missionary activities. The financial statements include the transactions of the Eagle Eyrie and Piankatank Camp and Conference Centers which are part of the corporate entity. Basis of Accounting: The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Classes of net assets are reported as follows: Unrestricted - Net assets that are currently available at the discretion of the Executive Committee for use in VBMB's operations and those resources invested in property or equipment. Temporarily Restricted - Net assets that are stipulated by donors for specific purposes or which have temporary time restrictions. When a donor or time restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Permanently Restricted - Net assets that are restricted by donor-imposed stipulations that they be invested in perpetuity, the income from which is expendable in accordance with the conditions of each specific donation. Fund Accounting: In order to ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to VBMB, the accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. Resources for various purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to their nature and purposes. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund; however, in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar characteristics have been combined into fund groups. Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group. Operating Fund - Operating Fund represents all accounts associated with the general operations of VBMB. Board Designated Reserve Funds - Board Designated Reserve Funds represent amounts designated by the appropriate committee or working group within VBMB for specific purposes. These are unrestricted funds that have been designated for future use and pledges receivable with temporary time restrictions. 9 TREASURER’S REPORT 259 VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSION BOARD, INC. Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued: Fund Accounting, Continued: Restricted Reserve Funds - Restricted Reserve Funds reflect monies received from donors that are expendable by VBMB only for purposes specified by the donor and unrestricted amounts associated with these restricted reserves whose restrictions have expired. The funds also include beneficial interests in trusts held by third parties that are restricted in perpetuity. Special Funds - Special Funds represent all accounts associated with funds received from special gifts that are invested to provide income for special purposes. This fund includes unrestricted, temporarily restricted and permanently restricted net assets. Plant Fund - Plant Fund represents VBMB's investment in property and equipment. Camps and Conferences Centers - Camps and Conferences Centers represents the activities of Eagle Eyrie and Piankantank Camp and Conference Centers. Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, VBMB considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consists of donations received in the first five days of the following year that relate to the prior year. Based on the nature of these receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts is not considered necessary. Investments: Investments are recorded at their fair value. Investment income is recorded when interest is earned and dividends are declared. Gain or loss on investment sales is recorded on the trade date. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the change between cost basis and fair value of the investments at year-end compared to the prior year. At December 31, 2014, all amounts are invested with the Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc., and are part of its diversified investment pool. Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject VBMB to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and investments. Cash and securities are invested with several institutions and the management of VBMB monitors their credit ratings in order to mitigate this concentration of credit risk. Securities are diversified in various investments over multiple industry areas and companies to minimize credit risk. VBMB has cash deposits in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the federal government. 10 260 TREASURER’S REPORT VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSION BOARD, INC. Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued: Loan Costs: Loan costs of $57,819 are associated with the issuance of the bond payable (see Note 8). These costs are being amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the bond. Unamortized loan costs at December 31, 2014 were $30,160. Amortization expense was $4,308 for 2014 and is expected to be $4,308 for each of the next five years. Real Estate Held for Sale: Real estate held for sale is recorded at fair value as of the date of donation. During 2014, the Organization sold its real estate held for sale for $287,260, net of commissions and fees of $32,740. Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 5 to 10 years for furniture and equipment and 3 to 5 years for vehicles. The costs of major improvements are capitalized, while the cost of maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed. The cost and accumulated depreciation on property and equipment are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of the change in net assets. Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $43,131 for 2014 and is included in camps and conference centers expense in the accompanying statement of activities. Income Taxes: VBMB is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and the tax statutes of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Management has evaluated the effect of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance surrounding uncertain income tax positions and concluded that VBMB has no significant financial statement exposure to uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2014. Management has determined, based on VBMB’s affiliation with Baptist General Association of Virginia, that it is not required to file an informational return (Form 990). VBMB is not currently under audit by any tax jurisdiction. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from these estimates and assumptions. Reclassifications: Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. 11 TREASURER’S REPORT 261 VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSION BOARD, INC. Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued: Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through July 9, 2015, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 6. Fair Value Measurements: The Organization has adopted certain provisions of FASB guidance on fair value measurements related to financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements. The FASB guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The FASB guidance provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of three levels: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 – Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including: x x x x Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets; Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. 14 264 TREASURER’S REPORT VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSION BOARD, INC. Notes to Financial Statements, Continued 6. Fair Value Measurements, Continued: Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2014. Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc.: Valued at the basis of the net asset value (“NAV”) of units held by VBMB at year-end, as a practical expedient, as the underlying investment manager’s calculation of NAV is fair value based. Beneficial interest in perpetual trusts: Valued using the fair value of the underlying assets of the trust as an estimate for the present value of the expected future cash flows. The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although VBMB believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. VBMB did not have any Level 1 or 2 assets at December 31, 2014. The following table includes the assets at fair value that qualify as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2014: Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc.: Money market Certificates of deposit Equity portfolio Real estate Fixed income portfolio Beneficial interest inperpetual trusts $ Total assets at fair value 148,179 439,133 4,639,522 230,264 3,202,232 5,861,320 $ 14,520,650 15 TREASURER’S REPORT 265 VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSION BOARD, INC.

The VBMB accounts are typically invested with a 60%/40% split between equity and fixed income, respectively, but any combination is permitted. The accounts have no restrictive redemption provisions and no unfunded commitment requirements. All earnings are reinvested. 7.

The law gives guidance for investment and spending practices, giving consideration for donor-intent and the organization's overall resources and charitable purpose. Based on their interpretation of law and in compliance with donor intent, VBMB classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment. The portion of the donor-restricted endowment that is not classified as permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure.

In 2007, accounting standards were implemented by VBMB which requires an employer to recognize the funded status of deferred benefit and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Funded status represents the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. Changes in the net actuarial pension loss are required to be recognized through the statement of activities in the year in which the changes occur. In 2008, VBMB also implemented accounting standards which require an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position.

Some of the information collected and compiled includes: church leadership, membership, Sunday school, Baptisms, Discipleship, Financial Information, Vacation Bible School, and Missions. Additionally, the Baptist General Association of Virginia monitors and assists those churches who, by the BGAV Constitution and Bylaws (Article III, Section C), are designated as Watchcare* churches.
