Th e 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. Th e 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 fi rst session was held in 1823, and in 1855 its name was changed to the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 9 REGISTRATION AND VOTING PROCEDURES 2016 Book of Reports

At the 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/Bylaws of the Baptist General Association of Virginia as follows: ARTICLE III. Section B: Composition The General Association shall be composed of the offi cers 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 fi nancially at least $500 during the previous fi scal 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 fi fteen (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 fi nancially 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 • Messengers should be elected by cooperating Baptist churches. • A registration packet is mailed to each cooperating Baptist church and contains login credentials and registration forms required to complete messenger registration. • Cooperating Baptist churches may pre-register elected messengers for the Baptist General Association of Virginia’s annual meeting on-line or by mail or they can register on-site during the meeting. • Pre-registering messengers on-line requires login credentials. Churches may obtain this information within the registration packet or by contacting the Baptist General Association of Virginia. • Pre-registering messengers by mail as well as registering messengers on-site using the registration form requires an authorized signature. If an authorized signature is not present, the Baptist General Association of Virginia’s credentials committee will make a decision regarding the messenger status.

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.

10 2016 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/Bylaws of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, which are printed in full at the end of the Book of Reports. Article X states that amendments to the Constitution/Bylaws must be presented in writing during the morning session of the fi rst day. Providing these qualifi cations are met, they will be voted upon during the business session of the second day. Article VIII, 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 presented on the fi rst day of the General Association before it is voted upon on the second day. A motion is defi ned as that business brought before the BGAV which relates to or affects the policies and/or operations of the BGAV. A policy is defi ned as those principles by which the BGAV is guided and managed. Section I states that resolutions from registered messengers must be submitted in writing to the clerk of the General Association no later than the beginning of the evening session of the fi rst day. They are then referred to the Resolutions Committee. A resolution is defi ned as the expressions of opinions of registered messengers and in no way establishes the policies of the BGAV. Note: Matters introduced after the end of the fi rst day 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.

The Program Committee is responsible for preparing the order of business for the annual meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and assuring that worship is emphasized during the meeting. We are excited to be at Bonsack Baptist Church for our meeting! We are grateful for their hospitality during the days the BGAV is in session but also over the past nine months as we have met, planned, and prayed in their facilities about this meeting. Pastor Chris Cadenhead and the entire Bonsack Baptist family have done an incredible amount of work for us to be here. Our theme for this year is: “The New Way.” We believe our keynote speakers Gabe Lyons and Chris Cadenhead will help us focus on the future of our churches and the BGAV as we meet together. We will have a variety of music from our BGAV family during our meeting times, and we are grateful to Tom Ingram for coordinating this. The Program Committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That the program, as printed, be adopted as the agenda of the 2016 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. That future sites for the Annual Meeting be adopted as: • 2017: November 13–15, 2017, in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia • 2018: November 12–14, 2018, in the Richmond, Virginia area • 2019: November 11–13, 2019, in the Northern Virginia area

40 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS RECOMMENDATION X: PARTNERSHIP COVENANT

A Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision Agreement Between BAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA & CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY DIVINITY SCHOOL

I. PROLOGUE This Covenant is established by the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and Campbell University Divinity School for the purpose of clarifying and affi rming the relationship between each as they seek to fulfi ll 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... Responding to an overwhelming sense of God’s leadership, Campbell University established the Divinity School as her sixth school in August 1996. Completing twenty years of service in 2016, the Divinity School continues its founding vision to prepare God-called men and women for Christian service throughout the world. In those 20 years, Campbell has conferred 588 Master of Divinity degrees, 30 Master of Arts in Christian Education degrees, 13 Master of Arts in Christian Ministry degrees, and 49 Doctor of Ministry degrees. A number of these graduates have become associated with the BGAV, and others have gone on to serve in ministry across the nation and the world. Campbell University Divinity School 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 fulfi ll the Great Commission and because of the mutual and supportive benefi t gained by establishing a relationship between the BGAV and Campbell University Divinity School. It is important that this Covenant establish the intersection of the values, mission, and vision of each entity as the foundation for partnering together through more specifi c means. This is accomplished fi rst 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 or “statement of faith” are defi ned 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 fi nancial 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 specifi c 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

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 41 • 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 fi ll 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 Baptist General Association of Virginia and seeks to involve all Virginia ministry partners in advancing the Redeemer’s Kingdom. “Kingdom Advance” outlines four major goals: BGAV will emphasize 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; intensifi ed efforts to assimilate new ministers to BGAV 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. BGAV will identify 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 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. BGAV has 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 fl exible, 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. BGAV will seek 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; fi nancial partnering with churches seeking to become courageous; and through matching assistance for signifi cant discipleship and outreach projects. III. THE VALUES, MISSION, AND VISION OF CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY DIVINITY SCHOOL The mission of the Campbell University Divinity School is to provide Christ-centered, Bible-based, and ministry- focused theological education. Campbell University Divinity School is committed to a holistic approach to graduate theological education in which students are intellectually, spiritually, and vocationally prepared for ministry.

42 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS This purpose or mission statement of Campbell University Divinity School is a noble one, and its content exhibits one of the great strengths of the school. This school is committed to loving and serving God, learning all we can about the Bible, and becoming faithful ministers in the world. Our students love our mission statement because it is well known and easily remembered, particularly in the shorter form, “Christ-centered, Bible-based, and Ministry- focused.” The mission statement also refl ects the heart and soul of faithful Christian ministry, and provides a useful and compelling structure for courses and special events within the Divinity School. It is frequently adopted by students as their personal mission statement of Christian commitment and philosophy of ministry, and also describes the nature of the curriculum and faculty of the school. It also defi nes the distinctiveness of Campbell University Divinity School from other theological schools. Campbell University Divinity School is intentionally inclusive of anyone who can affi rm and claim Christ as Lord, the Bible as authority, and ministry as calling, without debating the details. Consistent with its statement of purpose, the Divinity School embraces the best of classical theological education while seeking to equip students with ministry skills for the contemporary world. Students at the Divinity School are free to explore a wide variety of theological perspectives within the boundaries of respect and our mission statement. Campbell University Divinity School is Christ-Centered. We are serious not only about our faith, but about our commitment and calling. This is refl ected in the classroom; even as we expect and exercise academic rigor, we are always asking the “so what” questions: “How does this affect your own faith? How does this play out in ministry?” This commitment is also refl ected in our admissions policy; we limit admission to students who have a mature relationship with God and a defi nite sense of calling. We do not expect every student to know exactly where or how God is calling; on the contrary, we know that most students are on a journey of discovering the implications and dimensions of God’s calling. However, we do not admit students who simply want to satisfy academic curiosity. Campbell University Divinity School is Bible-Based. This means much more than just an affi rmation of the centrality of the Bible. Because we claim the Bible as authority and guide, we will not settle for simply accepting what others have said. We urge and equip our students to dig deeply into the text, to wrestle diligently with the teachings and history of the church throughout the ages, and come to their own understanding of what they believe and why they believe it. Campbell University Divinity School is Ministry-Focused. Our shared calling is to nurture and serve the people of God. We will not only help students gain the professional skills and knowledge needed to fulfi ll this calling, but also together we model what it means to be in genuine Christian community. One of the most important distinctives of our school is the way that faculty, staff, and students love and support each other as family. IV. OUR COVENANT TOGETHER The Baptist General Association of Virginia and Campbell University Divinity School therefore affi rm their voluntary, mutual and supportive relationship by means of the following shared values, mission, and vision. We do this as partners in a new vision seeking to fulfi ll the Great Commission and to advance the Redeemer’s Kingdom. Shared Values As Covenant Partners our shared values include the following: • Centrality of Christ • Authority of Holy Scripture • Priesthood of Believers • Soul Competency • Religious Liberty • Respect for Persons • Intellectual Integrity • Compassion for Unbelievers • Responsiveness to a Changing World • Separation of Church and State • Autonomy of the local church Together we affi rm the signifi cance of the local church and the need for theological education that equips the church for the work of ministry. We recognize the need for intentional work in racial reconciliation where “in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female” (Galatians 3:28).

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 43 Shared Mission Campbell University Divinity School offers an educational context that is diverse and welcoming to any student who affi rms the mission statement to be Christ-centered, Bible-based, and ministry-focused. As the latter part of our mission statement indicates, we have always sought to build up the church. Not only do we educate leaders for churches and ministries, but also we seek to encourage and train and provide resources to churches and ministries. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the BGAV and with the Baptists of Virginia for the spreading of the Gospel and for the advancement of God’s Kingdom. Shared Vision As a Christian Divinity School, rooted and grounded in the Baptist tradition, and as a Covenant Partner with the BGAV, Campbell Divinity School shares the vision of “Kingdom Advance.” In particular, and in covenant together, we will promote this vision in the following ways: Development of Leaders: We commit to training students to be Christ-centered, Bible-based, and ministry-focused. We encourage and model for students a life-long integration of faith and learning, combining academic rigor, spiritual formation, and ministry application. We seek to produce graduates who are personally whole and spiritually mature, biblically grounded and theologically competent, pastoral, evangelistic, and prophetic. We will provide opportunities for Virginia Baptist students to have hands on experience in church ministry, CPE/Urban Ministry, missions, evangelism, church planting, and innovative ministry. We look forward to connecting Campbell Divinity graduates with BGAV churches through placement and internships. Support of Churches: We commit to offer support and training to BGAV pastors and leaders through our ongoing Minister’s Continuing Education Program, our Resource and Referral services, opportunities to take part in our growing Evangelism and Missions program with the World Religions and Global Cultures Center, and through our Doctor of Ministry and Masters degrees and our Certifi cate programs. Furthermore, we seek to work with churches to integrate the training of leaders and minister with the training and encouraging of churches. We are eager to provide resources for churches in the form of retreats, Bible studies, and training events. Drawing on the resources of the larger university, we can help to facilitate training focused on the intersection of ministry with business, law, and health care. Ministry to the World: Campbell University Divinity School has made a signifi cant commitment to increasing the awareness and ability of students to connect with an increasingly pluralistic world. Through the World Religions and Global Cultures center, Campbell Divinity helps both students and churches understand the diverse religious traditions that surround them. Through missions immersion experiences, Campbell Divinity helps students and others who wish to participate to appreciate and learn from the explosive growth of Christianity in the global south. Through its programs on Innovative Ministry, Campbell Divinity seeks to equip students and others to explore new and entrepreneurial ways to offer ministry in our rapidly changing world. V. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES This agreement does not create a contractual relationship or fi nancial obligation, nor does it imply that Campbell University Divinity School is an agency, institution, or shared ministry of the General Association. VI. TERM These shared values, mission, and vision frame our relationship as Covenant Partners effective November 15, 2016. With six months’ notice, either party to this Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision may request that it be renegotiated or terminated. This Covenant shall be reviewed every fi ve years.

44 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS RECOMMENDATION XI: PARTNERSHIP COVENANT

A Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision Agreement Between BAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA & NORTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

I. PROLOGUE This Covenant is established by the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and Northern Baptist Theological Seminary for the purpose of clarifying and affi rming the relationship between each as they seek to fulfi ll 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... Second Baptist Church of Chicago, Illinois, started Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1914. The seminary has worked with BGAV partners such as V3 and Missio Alliance to share the gospel of Jesus Christ personally, biblically, and missionally. Northern affi liates with the American Baptist Convention, U.S.A. and works with the National Missionary Baptist Convention, and the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc. The seminary and its board of trustees welcome 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 fulfi ll the Great Commission and because of the mutual and supportive benefi t gained by establishing a relationship between the BGAV and Northern Seminary. It is important that this Covenant establish the intersection of the values, mission, and vision of each entity as the foundation for partnering together through more specifi c means. This is accomplished fi rst 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 or “statement of faith” are defi ned 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 fi nancial 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 specifi c 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

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 45 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 fi ll 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 Baptist General Association of Virginia and seeks to involve all Virginia ministry partners in advancing the Redeemer’s Kingdom. “Kingdom Advance” outlines four major goals: BGAV will emphasize 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; intensifi ed efforts to assimilate new ministers to BGAV 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. BGAV will identify 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 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. BGAV has 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 fl exible, 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. BGAV will seek 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; fi nancial partnering with churches seeking to become courageous; and through matching assistance for signifi cant discipleship and outreach projects. III. THE VALUES, MISSION, AND VISION OF NORTHERN SEMINARY Northern has a Statement of Faith to promote unity and cooperation within the Seminary, akin to the spirit which was proclaimed by the New Testament Church, and to make known to others the tone and substance which is to be expected in public pronouncements. This statement is a revision of the New Hampshire Confession of Faith. All of Northern’s full-time faculty, administrators and trustees have affi rmed this statement as a testimony of their common commitment to Christ and to the advancement of His Church. While students need not sign the statement, they are encouraged to give special heed to the biblical teachings which form its foundation. Our life of worship, instruction, prayer and fellowship together centers on the shared commitment to Christ.

46 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS The doctrinal basis of Northern Baptist Theological Seminary is and shall be: The Bible is the revealed Word of God, given by the Holy Spirit, and so is fully inspired, authoritative, and the suffi cient rule of faith and practice for the believer. God exists eternally in three persons who are revealed in Scripture as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While these three are one, each has a special offi ce and activity: God, the Father, is the source, support, and end of all things; God, the virgin-born Son, is the medium of revelation and redemption by virtue of his incarnation, life and death; God, the Holy Spirit, is the one who inspires divinely chosen persons, reproves the world because of sin, regenerates and sanctifi es the believer, and now represents the Son on earth. Creation is the act by which God brought the universe and all that it contains into existence; the universe is preserved by natural law which is an expression of God’s will; at the same time, God’s miraculous working is not excluded from nature, as a means of making known God’s plan and purpose according to the pleasure of God’s will. Humanity was made in the image of God and originally sinless. Men and women are fallen in Adam, the head of the race, and are now by nature and choice sinners, living in revolt against their Creator, and are unable to escape from their sinful state on their own. The only way of reconciling sinful humanity to God is provided in the work of Christ, the incarnate Son, fully human and fully divine; in his sinless life, sacrifi cial death on the cross, resurrection, ascension, and present intercession he reveals at the same time God’s grace and loving provisions for all creatures. Humans are reconciled unto God only as they by faith appropriate for themselves the salvation provided in Christ. The Church is that universal and spiritual body which includes all the redeemed of which Christ the Redeemer is the head; the church in the local and visible sense is a group of believers, immersed on profession of faith in Christ, united under the direct, personal, undelegated lordship of Christ, voluntarily joined together for worship of God, service to others, and for carrying out the work of the Great Commission as given by Christ. Each local church is an autonomous body under Christ, cooperating with other churches of like faith and order in the work of evangelizing the world and advancing the Kingdom of God. The ordinances are two in number. Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, following the confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; baptism symbolizes the death of the old life and the rising of the new. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial instituted by Christ to be kept by believers as a symbol of atoning death, and of himself as the Bread of Life, the one through whom believers have spiritual life and vitality. The second advent of Christ is his personal return by which the present age will be terminated. The ultimate hope of the believer is not in history but in the great eschatological event by which the present age is brought to its conclusion. The culmination of history takes place in the fi nal judgment in which the unredeemed will be punished through eternal separation from God, and the redeemed will enter into a state of eternal peace and righteousness with God.

Approved by NBTS Board of Trustees at annual meeting September 2002

STATEMENT OF VISION Our vision is to prepare leaders who will faithfully serve Jesus Christ with evangelical passion and missionary skills in Biblically grounded and culturally relevant ministries.

Adopted by the Board of Trustees June 4, 1999.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 47 IV. OUR COVENANT TOGETHER The Baptist General Association of Virginia and Northern Seminary therefore affi rm their voluntary, mutual and supportive relationship by means of the following shared values, mission, and vision. We do this as partners in a new vision seeking to fulfi ll the Great Commission and to advance the Redeemer’s Kingdom. Shared Values As Covenant Partners our shared values include the following: • Centrality of Christ • Authority of Holy Scripture • Priesthood of Believers • Soul Competency • Religious Liberty • Respect for Persons • Intellectual Integrity • Compassion for Unbelievers • Responsiveness to a Changing World Together we affi rm the signifi cance of the local church and the need for theological education that equips the church for the work of ministry. We recognize the need for intentional work in racial reconciliation where “in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female” (Galatians 3:28). Shared Mission Northern Baptist Theological Seminary offers an educational context that is international, interracial, and intercultural for the preparation of men and women who are called by God. The strategic role of the Seminary is to educate leaders for the churches who will be personally whole and spiritually mature, biblically grounded and theologically competent, pastoral, evangelistic, and prophetic. We welcome the opportunity to partner with the BGAV and with the Baptists of Virginia for the spreading of the Gospel and for the advancement of the Redeemer’s Kingdom. Shared Vision As a Christian, Baptist-related, free standing seminary and as a Covenant Partner with the BGAV, Northern Seminary shares the vision of “Kingdom Advance.” Together, we will work to accomplish these priorities of the BGAV. Developing We will offer training to BGAV pastors and leaders to support their preaching and provide continuing education, Doctor of Ministry degrees, and distance learning that strengthen ministers. Through the “New Kind of Preacher” and similar programs, we can offer clergy cluster groups that will support the development and formation of preachers. Through distance learning such as “Northern Live,” we can offer training for persons so that they do not need to relocate to attend seminary. Through our cohort model of education, new students and ministers join groups of students that support them throughout their seminary life and beyond graduation. Our supervised ministry program provides the formation and practice that students need for hands-on experience. We will provide a network for Virginia Baptist students to have hands on experience in urban ministry in Chicagoland and develop a “Master of Urban Ministry Leadership” degree program. We will give Northern graduates a chance to connect to BGAV churches through placement and internships. Sending Through cross cultural experiences with the Christian Community Development Association and the Mission and Theology program, we will train ministers to reach the world and other cultures for Jesus. We will commit together to continue the work of racial reconciliation through Jesus Christ. Planting We will support church planters and provide training through our Master of Mission and Theology program and work to bring more partners to help start new churches that are focused on incarnational ministry. Through our distance learning seminars, partnerships with Missio Alliance, and other programs, we will provide training to churches to continue to strengthen their work in the community.

48 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS V. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES This agreement does not create a contractual relationship or fi nancial obligation, nor does it imply that Northern Baptist Theological Seminar is an agency, institution, or shared ministry of the General Association.

VI. TERM These shared values, mission, and vision frame our relationship as Covenant Partners effective November 15, 2016. With six months’ notice, either party to this Covenant of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision may request that it be renegotiated or terminated. This Covenant shall be reviewed every fi ve years.

FAITH IN THE AGE OF FEAR (FROM FEAR TO FAITH)

No doubt about it, we live in a dangerous and uncertain world. Need proof, just turn on the television, read the newspaper or check “breaking news” on the internet. Everyday there are terrorist attacks, shootings, and criminal acts of violence. Add to this, natural disasters, fi nancial downturns, job downsizing, accidents, accusations, diseases, and death. It is a scary world in which we live. How easy it would be to stick our heads in the sand, like an ostrich, and pretend everything is okay. Fear is a very real emotion that stalks ALL OF US at some level. According to Andy Andrews, author and motivational speaker, “All men are driven by faith or fear – one or the other – for both are the same. Faith or fear is the expectation of an event that hasn’t come to pass or the belief in something that cannot be seen or touched” (The Travelers Gift, pg. 149). It seems that where our Christian faith and culture collide, the fl ash point ushers in fear. As Christians, we don’t want to come across as being too judgmental, too sheltered, or too hypocritical. So instead of speaking up, we tend to keep quiet, afraid to speak truth to a world that desperately needs the truth of Scripture as found in the Holy Bible. Second Corinthians 5:7 says: “We live by faith, not by sight” (NIV). As believers, faith should always trump fear. However, that’s not always the case. So the Bible reminds us over and over again, with the most often used admonition in Scripture, to “fear not!” How do we do that in a world where fear is a very real and present reality? The only way to overcome fear and let faith come to the forefront is through the words recorded in Scripture by those who have experienced faith in the fearful times of their lives. In Psalm 56, David writes, after being seized by the Philistines in Gath: “When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?” (Psalm 56:3-4, NIV). The apostle Paul writes, from a Roman prison, some of the most powerful words of faith in Philippians 4:11-13: “For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (NIV). Faith in an age of fear will often be a struggle. This is especially true as Christianity, and in particular, the church, having seemingly become less culturally relevant, tries to reach future generations. For many Christians, doubt and anxiety arise from contact and interaction with persons of different cultures, belief systems, and lifestyles. Believers are challenged in understanding how to relate to those who have a different faith background or no faith background and those who claim some knowledge and belief in God but seem to be living contrary to what they know. Encountering such diversity challenges us in connecting Scriptures to our daily encounters with people who need to hear the truth. As people of “The Book,” there are times when we must speak the truth into a situation where fear and confusion reign. Only the truth spoken in truth and love (Ephesians 4:15) can bring help and hope. The writer in 1 John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear” (NIV). It is through the perfect love of God that faith overcomes fear. In order for the church to continue to reach the world, we need to be the ones who live without fear by choosing to live out the love of Christ. How do we do this in a culture where any mention of faith in Christ often brings ridicule and scorn? From the spiritual aspect, we would do well to just follow the example of Jesus Christ. John 1 tells us that the light of God shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome the light. This light came into the world and became fl esh and lived among us. When we look at Jesus, we see the One who was able to overcome all things, who walked

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 63 into places in society that others looked down upon and hung out with people that were shunned and offered them grace, acceptance and truth. As followers of Jesus Christ, we ought to seek out and welcome those who are outside the faith. As Christians we are to be light upon the hill (Matthew 5:14) demonstrating this light to others. There are some practical ways we can be light that Jesus can use to dispel the darkness. Foremost, claim the promise of Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (NIV). Holding on to this promise we should practice things like: 1. Being intentional in reaching out to those whom society may overlook. 2. Engage persons by talking and listening to their stories – everyone has a story. 3. Be affi rming of their worth and value as a human being made by God. 4. Ask questions that are good, open-ended and genuine. 5. Avoid passing judgment. That’s God’s prerogative and causes people to become defensive when we do it. 6. Be ready to practice 1 Peter 3:15: “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (NIV). As believers, always be ready to tell what you know about Jesus and it’s amazing how awesome things can and often do happen as doors are opened and dialogue begins. Then and only then, can we speak the truth and be given a hearing. Yes, it’s true – “All men are driven by faith or fear – one or the other – for both are the same.” When our faith and culture collide we don’t have to be afraid. As we live in the light of Christ, we can be about the business of blurring the darkness so that the light can shine through. It is time for us to shine brightly and dispel the darkness that has the world in its grip.

64 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY COMMITTEE Offi cial Report

Prior to its meeting in person, the Religious Liberty Committee, via email, reviewed bills that had been submitted to the Virginia General Assembly that impinged in some way or to some degree on religious liberty to see if they warranted the committee’s speaking for or against the bills. The consensus was that none of the bills warranted the committee’s taking action. Also prior to its meeting in person, the committee tentatively agreed on a topic to be discussed at our meeting—the religious liberty of American Muslims—and agreed to invite a Muslim scholar or cleric to speak to the committee. After consulting with Brent Walker (BJC) and others about a possible speaker, the chair invited Dr. Azizah al-Hibris, former professor of law at University of Richmond and founder of Karamah, an organization of Muslim women lawyers for human rights, to speak to the committee about the compatibility of Islam and religious freedom.

The Religious Liberty Committee then met on April 21, 2016, in the BGAV Building in Richmond, VA. Members present were Ellis West (chair), Barrett Owen, Mary Harris, Michael Poole, Michael Lee, Steven Pollard, Carter McNeese and Nancy Stanton McDaniel (BGAV President). Rob James (former chair of RLC) attended as a guest. At the meeting itself, Dr. al-Hibris, along with a staff-member of Karamah, spoke to the committee and were effective in making the case that Islam, both the Koran and the actions of the prophet Muhammed, condemns the use of force as a way of promoting Islam and, therefore, that the views of Islamic radicals, such as Isis, are not representative of the views of the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the world. They also talked about the various ways that American Muslims are currently being abused and discriminated against. In the afternoon, the committee decided to submit to the annual meeting of the BGAV a resolution asking for complete and equal religious freedom for American Muslims and to invite a Muslim cleric and scholar to speak at the RLC’s breakout session at the annual meeting of the BGAV in November. The committee also decided to submit a resolution to the BGAV annual meeting a resolution in honor of Brent Walker, who is retiring at the end of this year as head of the BJC. The wording of both resolutions and the selection of the Muslim speaker were to be decided on at our next meeting. The committee also decided to begin the public posting each month on Facebook and elsewhere of passages on religious liberty from historic documents written by Baptists and other notable defenders of religious liberty, and the chair was asked to confer with Nathan White, the marketing offi cer for BGAV, on how this could best be done. Although the committee scheduled a second meeting to be held in August, as it turned out, the meeting was not necessary. A draft of the resolution to be submitted to the annual meeting of the BGAV was circulated, amended, and agreed to by email, and has been submitted to the offi ce of the executive director for publication in the Book of Reports. Also, via email, the committee agreed to invite Ammar Amonette, the Imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia, to speak at its break-out session at the annual meeting of the BGAV. Imam Amonette has accepted the committee’s invitation. Finally, the committee decided not to introduce its own resolution in honor of Brent Walker but to join the Executive Board in offering such a resolution. Thanks to the assistance of Nathan White, starting on August 1, monthly postings on the BGAV blog and elsewhere of passages on religious liberty have begun and will continue indefi nitely. Respectfully submitted,

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 65 RELIGIOUS LIBERTY RESOLUTION

WHEREAS we believe that all persons regardless of their religion or lack thereof should have religious freedom, provided they do not exercise it in a way that violates valid civil law or the rights of others; WHEREAS we believe in practicing the Golden Rule, whereby persons should do unto others as they would have others do unto them; WHEREAS we do not believe in guilt by association, but rather in judging persons on the basis of their individual beliefs and actions; WHEREAS the religious freedom of Americans depends not just on constitutional restraints on the government, but on the willingness of individual Americans to understand and respect each other’s religious beliefs and practices; WHEREAS some religious and political leaders in America have recently advocated that American Muslims be denied their religious freedom on the alleged ground that they want the government to establish Islam and deny non-Muslims their religious freedom; WHEREAS some religious and political leaders in America have recently called for laws that would prevent refugees, immigrants, and even visitors from entering the United States, solely because they are Muslims;

WHEREAS recently American Muslims, solely on account of their religion, have been increasingly subjected to abusive and hate-fi lled remarks by some ordinary Americans, talk show participants, and politicians, and to bullying, violence, vandalism, and other hate-crimes; WHEREAS some local governments, including some in Virginia, have made it diffi cult, if not impossible, for Muslim congregations to obtain permits to construct mosques; WHEREAS the overwhelming majority of American Muslims are decent, peaceful, law-abiding, and patriotic citizens who respect the moral and constitutional rights of others, including their religious liberty; WHEREAS eminent Islamic imams, jurists, and scholars from all parts of the world have condemned religious persecution, discrimination, and vilifi cation of religious minorities in Muslim-majority countries as inconsistent with Islam’s values of peace, forgiveness, and coexistence, and have done so most notably in “The Marrakesh Declaration” of Jan. 27, 2016, which called on Muslim countries to model their laws on the “Charter of Medina,” which was written by the Prophet Mohammed for a multi-religious society and which affi rmed the principle of religious freedom; and WHEREAS the overwhelming majority of Muslims, both in America and elsewhere, are not terrorists but condemn the violence used by so-called Islamic jihadists as contrary to the tenets of their religion; THEREFORE, we, the messengers to the Baptist General Association of Virginia, at its annual meeting on November 15, 2016, ask THAT all levels of American government refrain from discriminating against Muslims, including refugees, on the basis of their religion; THAT our religious and political leaders characterize Islam and Muslims in a way that is fair, objective, and based on how Islam is interpreted and practiced by the overwhelming majority of Muslims in this country and not just by extremists, such as ISIS; THAT Virginia Baptists, both individuals and churches, speak out against anti-Muslim rhetoric and bigotry, learn about Islam, get to know their Muslim neighbors, meet and talk with them about their respective faiths and common concerns, such as religious liberty, and above all else show them the love of Jesus; and THAT Virginia Baptists support the passage in Congress of the Freedom of Religion Act, which would prohibit denying refugees, immigrants, and visitors entry into the United States on the basis of their religion.

68 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS ANNUAL REPORT of the Baptist General Association of Virginia REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR to the Baptist General Association of Virginia

A question frequently asked by children is for parents to tell them again and again about the day they were born. A child wants to know about the very beginning because they instinctively know that the details of that day will have something to say about who she or he most deeply is. In a sense, that is telling them who they are and who they will always be. Sometimes I think it is helpful for organizations like the BGAV to be like one of those children and ask the living Christ to tell us again about the day his church was born and about the day the BGAV was born. We do this because to remember the beginning rightly is to remember a great deal of what matters to us. In Acts 2 we are reminded that power came to the church when they came together as Jesus commanded them. This is a reminder it is when we come together we receive power from the Holy Spirit. Then the story reminds us that power came over everyone, not just some. It fulfi lled, said Peter, a prophecy that God’s Spirit would be poured out on all fl esh. Sons and daughters would prophecy, young men would see visions and old men would dream dreams, even slaves, man servants and maid servants, would prophecy. Men, women, all ages, all social classes would be the enlivened people of God. Each would be given a voice and a place in the mission of God. Each would be an irreplaceable witness to the boundless love of God in Christ. The Holy Spirit never makes copies, only originals. Our birth story even tells us we didn’t receive power to be the church until we focused beyond ourselves. The 120 had already been worshiping and praying together, but that didn’t make them the church. They had loved and cared for each other, but that didn’t make them the church. They had even been with Jesus in person, looked into his eyes, listened to his voice, and had committed their lives to him and that had not made them the church. It was when they turned their face beyond themselves to engage people in their world that they were fully born as the body of Christ. This is our birth story. The BGAV was fully born when 15 attended that fi rst BGAV meeting in 1823. Their immediate purpose was to look beyond themselves and ask two young people, Jeremiah Jeter and Daniel Witt, to head west to start new churches. They knew that God only makes originals, not copies, so the autonomy of each church was to be valued and honored. It would be from that commitment to diversity the BGAV would be born. Our birth story is a beautiful one, one that guides and inspires us to this day. The Virginia Baptist Executive Board has been tasked to be the guardian of that story and to determine how we continue to mature into its full life. The Board works through four primary committees: Finance Committee, Resource Development Committee, Personnel Committee, and Board Development Committee. The committees report to the full Board bringing appropriate recommendations and information for the Board to consider. A huge achievement of the Board this year has been the formation of a vision to carry the BGAV to 2025. This vision establishes clear goals to be achieved in 2025. (You can see all decisions of the Board listed under Actions Taken by the Board in 2016.) The vision is built around the core functional values of the BGAV. These functional values impact the budget, staff, and priorities of the BGAV. This vision broadens the scope of the BGAV while not compromising quality of service or mission and maintains fi nancial responsibility. This report is organized around those functional goals of Developing – Sending – Planting. Listed on the following pages are some of the achievements of 2016.

The Baptist Extension Board was organized in 1940 during the church building boom that followed World War II. In the subsequent 76 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 fi nancing. Loans are usually issued over a maturing date of 12 to 15 years. The interest rate is currently 3.75% for a fi rst mortgage loan and 4.50% for a second mortgage loan and is reviewed by the Board at regularly scheduled meetings. The 15-member board is comprised of both clergy and lay leaders who volunteer their time to serve. During the 2016 fi scal year, there were six loans approved totaling $2,435,000.00. These funds were requested for new construction projects, land purchases and renovations to existing church facilities. As of August 31, 2016 the Baptist Extension Board, Inc. services 69 loans with a combined balance of $15,756,925. 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 76 years have signifi cantly impacted their communities because of the fi nancial assistance received from the Baptist Extension Board, Inc.

“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

The “To See a World” theme adopted by the Virginia Baptist Historical Society also was employed by its sister organization, the Center for Baptist Heritage & Studies whose mission is about education. The Heritage Center sponsored an Interfaith Conversation which included representatives of several faiths including Christian, Judiasm, Islam, Hinduism and others. The conversation included invited clergy and laity among the BGAV churches. The facilitator for the event was Dr. Jim Somerville, pastor of Richmond’s First Baptist Church, and the conversation was held in his church. It was a remarkable time full of new insights and the potential of building new relationships. The Heritage Center appointed three new Heritage Fellows for 2016-17. Heritage Fellows are outstanding college and university students who are active in a Baptist faith community and who want to learn more about their heritage. They complete a project and the emphasis for this new class of Fellows will be on gaining a better understanding of their own Baptist heritage and establishing a relationship with someone on their campus of another faith. It is expected that the Fellows together will compile a book on their fi ndings. The three Fellows appointed are Andrew Gardner, a student at Virginia Tech and Emma and Virginia Tilley, two sisters who are students at the College of William and Mary. Their stipends will be paid this year by the Estate of Helen Hill whose father was John Bunyan Hill who, years ago, led the Sunday school department of the BGAV. She had remembered the Heritage Center in her estate planning and designated that the bequest go towards the Heritage Fellows program, remembering how her father spent his life teaching Baptist principles and heritage to his generation. The Heritage Center commissioned Andrew Gardner of Yorktown, a former Heritage Fellow of the Center and a recent graduate from the Divinity School at Wake Forest University, to write a new study of Baptist distinctives and principles. Entitled In Search of the Heroic, the book was written for an audience of older high school youth and college students. The book can be purchased individually or as a class set for youth groups. Rachel Cook, the Center’s Heritage Fellow for 2014-15 and a student at Virginia Tech, completed a history of Baptist student work performed by the BGAV. The booklet includes numerous photographs as it documents the history of “BSU” to the current Baptist Collegiate Ministries. Copies are available – as are all the Center’s publications – through its website or book shop. Fred Anderson, executive director of the Heritage Center, participated in the Baptist Heritage & Identity Commission of the Baptist World Alliance at its meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia.

With your support, GraceInside provides 31 chaplains to support more than 30,000 men and women incarcerated in 35 state prisons across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Because of you, these children of God have the opportunity to experience spiritual support through worship, Bible studies, support groups and individual pastoral care. Last year, over 430 baptisms took place because of the presence of Christ that YOU make possible! A quick peek into one month of religious activities in these “mission fi elds” in our own back yards shows: • 933 weekly religious services with 32,628 attending • 626 weekly studies with 9,299 attending • 289 “special classes” with 1,678 attending • 1,585 special events with 1,954 attending • 1,365 pastoral counseling sessions • 1,273 religious volunteers statewide • 75 inmate assistants serving in the chaplains’ offi ces

All this takes place with 19 part-time and 12 full-time chaplains. Think what we could do with FULL-TIME chaplains at all major institutions!!! Beyond that, we’d like to submit ten additional reasons to continue your support of GraceInside! 1. Jesus Himself said to visit those in prison – Matthew 25:31-46 2. Jesus saves lives – John 3:16 3. Improved safety of those inside the prison walls – Inmates who participate are less likely to act out 4. Improved safety of those outside the prison walls – Inmates who participate are less likely to reoffend 5. Heals tremendous brokenness – Grace is a balm in Gilead 6. Saves taxpayer money – GraceInside receives no tax-payer money 7. We have access – since 1920 GraceInside has been the only provider of chaplains to Virginia’s prisons 8. Exceptional stewardship – 31 chaplains serve 35 locations for 1.2 million dollars 9. Practice what we preach – redemption is possible and GraceInside has employed ex-offenders for years 10. We depend on people who believe in the transformative power of Jesus Christ – just like you!

Thank you for your commitment to changing lives – from the inside-out!

“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.”

People often share their appreciation of our agency logo. They express their thoughts on how lovely the tree is or how charming the concept of a tree is for our particular type of ministry. The nurturing shelter that one associates with a comforting shade tree certainly is appropriate for caring for at-risk children and youth and for adults with intellectual disabilities. The tree also is a good representation of how our ministry survives and operates on a day to day and year to year basis. We were originally chartered as the Baptist Orphanage of Virginia in 1890 by a large group of concerned Baptist ministers and lay people. We cherish those deep roots in Virginia Baptist life and draw strength from them daily. From those roots have grown a strong central commitment to meeting the needs of those who most need to experience Christ’s love in their lives. Those are the many branches of our on-going ministry. 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 offi ces are in Salem, yet our caring touch can be felt throughout Virginia. Guiding that touch is our abiding faith in Christ. 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 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.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 83 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. The Academy has served a total of 69 students during 2016. Twenty-three youth have been nurtured through our Residential program this year. We are humbled that the Roanoke Valley community has responded so well to our Academy’s continued increase in instructional excellence. We typically serve students from up to six surrounding school districts in the Roanoke area and concluded the 2015-16 school year with our highest student population since the Academy began. HopeTree at WOODS (Wilderness Outdoor Opportunity Discovery School) 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 in place to replace the program’s existing education facility by renovate an existing structure to consolidate the dining hall and school under one roof. This project is part of a larger Capital Campaign which will be fulling implemented during the coming fi scal year. The majority of that $1.25 million fundraising effort will be focused on establishing an on-going fund to support HopeTree Academy. WOODS has impacted 21 young lives this year; young lives that have benefi ted from loving guidance and an increased appreciation for the power of education. A main trunk of HopeTree Family Services’ ministry continues to grow strong in the Richmond area. The Developmental Disabilities Ministry operates fi ve group homes for adults in and around the Capital. HopeTree also maintains offi ces for Advancement Department and the DDM In-Home and managerial staff for the Eastern half of Virginia in the Baptist Resource Center. HopeTree’s Foster Care services for the Richmond area are based in nearby Chester. Those offi ces recently moved to a larger offi ce space due to the tremendous growth our foster care program is experiencing. As more and more social services groups become aware of our excellent services, they turn to us more often to care for children in need of foster families. As that need continues to increase, our need for loving, Christian foster families also increases. Beyond moving the Chester offi ce to a larger space so we can hire more social workers, we have opened a new Foster Care offi ce in Martinsville. We extend our deepest appreciation to McCabe Memorial Baptist Church for partnering with us in this effort by providing offi ce space for our staff within their facility. The efforts of two foster parent recruiters, one in the Richmond region and one serving Salem and Martinsville areas, continue to garner excellent results through information and training sessions. Salem and Martinsville have taken in 42 foster children during the year while the Chester area has served 59. In conjunction with Foster Care, the Developmental Disabilities Ministry provides the majority of our extended community presence across Virginia. We currently have 20 group homes for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the following locations: Abingdon, Salem, Martinsville, Blue Ridge, Farmville, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Chase City, and Virginia Beach. Many of these locations also provide respite and/or in-home services. HopeTree provided long-term care for 90 men and women this year in our homes. We are in the process of opening a second home in Martinsville and other locations are in various stages of development. This ministry’s In-Home division allows men and women with intellectual disabilities to remain in the comfort and familiar settings of their own home while receiving the exceptional care and support associated with the Developmental Disabilities Ministry. Fourteen men and women were ministered to through this growing service. 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. 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. Thus far, the Camp hosted 20 different events during 2016, with nearly 1000 people in total attendance.

84 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 2016 has been a year of tremendous growth and expansion for HopeTree Family Services. Like our namesake, we continue to draw nourishment and strength from our deeply established roots, which in turn fuel the growth and expansion of our lengthening limbs. Having extended care in one way or another to roughly 300 individuals this year, and with the goal of doing even more in the future, our limbs have great need of those tremendously strong roots. It is our most earnest prayer that the individuals and families who fi nd shelter beneath our branches truly come to experience the love and grace of the Father who oversaw the establishment of our ministry so very long ago.

LifeSpire of Virginia (formerly Virginia Baptist Homes) operates four thriving and welcoming continuing care retirement communities serving approximately 1,200 residents in Culpeper, Daleville, Newport News, and Richmond. As a family of faith-based communities with a growing Foundation that raises funds for benevolence, LifeSpire is dedicated to serving residents by providing them a fulfi lling and worry-free lifestyle. From its beginnings, LifeSpire has been an organization rooted in Christian faith and centered in Jesus Christ. LifeSpire seeks to promote an organizational culture where God’s love is lived out among residents, families, and staff. During a time in life when seniors may fi nd themselves without a caring support system, residents of our retirement communities have their bodies, minds, and spirits continually nourished through quality care, faithful service, and the ideals of family. Through spiritual programming and volunteering, residents have the opportunity to grow spiritually and share their faith each day while enjoying a sense of fulfi llment and belonging. Each community provides a full continuum of care to address the changing health needs of seniors. Readily accessible assisted living, 24-hour nursing care, physical therapy, and memory support services give residents and their loved ones peace of mind knowing staff is always available to provide excellent service and care. Most importantly, a culture of benevolence is at the heart of all we do. Ensuring that no resident is ever asked to leave due to insuffi cient funds is not just a goal; it defi nes the purpose of the VBH Foundation — to help provide funding wherever needs are greatest. With the increase in the aging population, which is also refl ected among BGAV church congregations and other denominations, the challenge to provide benevolent support continues to increase. During 2015, the VBH Foundation provided $1,089,614 to 60 residents in our four communities. Of those, 75 percent were Baptist, 85 percent were female, 55 percent were 90 years old or older, and 75 percent were widows. LifeSpire doesn’t only serve our residents. We continue to study ways to “give back” to Virginia Baptists in creative ways. In 2016, The Culpeper, formerly Culpeper Baptist Retirement Community, and Culpeper Baptist Church (CBC) entered a fi rst-of-its-kind collaborative venture to develop a shared position: Hans Murdock was hired to

86 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS serve both as chaplain at The Culpeper and as senior adult minister at CBC. “We wanted to strengthen pastoral service programs to seniors at the church and within the community,” said Jim Jacobsen, executive director at The Culpeper. “Many of our residents are members and active leaders within Culpeper Baptist Church. We support one another in many ways, and the addition of Hans will only enhance our vision of continued family within the community.” Dan Carlton, senior pastor of CBC, agreed, noting the partnership is a natural extension of the relationship that The Culpeper and CBC have enjoyed for more than 70 years. “Culpeper Baptist Church helped start The Culpeper and ultimately Virginia Baptist Homes” (now LifeSpire of Virginia), Carlton said. “What we will be able to do together in engaging people over 60 will be far more than what we could have done separately.” The VBH Foundation’s resource line is another way LifeSpire is giving back. A single-source referral service, the resource line connects seniors, pastors, senior adult pastors, and family members to a wealth of information, including resources on long-term care housing options, rehab, Alzheimer’s, Medicare/Medicaid, and much more. The VBH Foundation also sponsored two senior services seminars — at Lakewood and The Chesapeake — designed for ministers seeking information and resources to help seniors within their congregations. Talks, given by experts in their respective fi elds, included “Communicating the Not-for-Profi t Difference in Aging Services,” “Benefi ts of Home Care for Seniors Living at Home,” and “Memory Care: Preparing for the Unexpected” among others. In an ever-changing landscape of senior adult living, LifeSpire remains true to its long-standing tradition of excellence and innovation. This tradition continues to propel us forward into a future fi lled with promise and hope.

In fulfi llment of its mission of strengthening and encouraging Christian Stewardship, the Virginia Baptist Foundation raised $5 million and distributed $7.4 million in 2015 to nearly 400 charitable causes including the Baptist General Association of Virginia, HopeTree Family Services, the Religious Herald, the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, the Virginia Baptist Retirement Homes, Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia, 152 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 fi ve years the Foundation has raised $36.5 million and distributed $33.6 million to hundreds of donor-directed charitable causes. LEGACY As the chartered trust agency of Virginia Baptists since 1923 and a benefi ciary of Cooperative Missions support since 1927, the Foundation accepts the responsibility of assisting any individual or Baptist church wishing to establish a customized plan for the use of their fi nancial 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 fi nancial advisors; • Preparing trust or endowment documentation, investing the funds, administering the agreement, fi ling 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; • 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;

88 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS • 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 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 June 30, 2016 the assets of the Foundation were approximately $120 million 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 fi xed), certifi cates of deposit or money market programs, provide for our clients a diversifi ed 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 fi ve years we awarded $549,250 in scholarships to 297 recipients ($1,849 avg.) from across the commonwealth. On May 22, 2016, the Foundation hosted its 9th Annual Scholarship Reception awarding $151,000 in scholarships to 90 undergraduate and graduate students.

The overarching theme in 2016 has been “To See a World.” The Virginia Baptist Historical Society published a book with that title. (It also is the 2015 issue of the Virginia Baptist Register.) The lead article of the book, written by Fred Anderson, was on the travel experiences of 19th-century Virginia Baptists. The 18th-century witnessed the arrival of Baptists from England, their persecution and struggle to secure religious liberty and to plant a Baptist witness in Virginia. By the early to mid-19th century, some few Virginia Baptists were able to travel – some took “the grand tour” of Europe and beyond, some went as missionaries, some went to study abroad, some were ministers on leave from their church. Many wrote travel accounts – diaries, journals, correspondence and articles for the Baptist newspaper – and these were eagerly devoured by the stay-at-homes who were curious about the larger world. These accounts helped educate Virginia Baptists about the larger world, other cultures in faraway places, and missions opportunities. The Society mounted a new large exhibit on the same theme, “To See a World.” Included were travel accounts, artifacts and curios identifi ed with journeys beyond America and stories of fascinating Virginia Baptists. In May 2016 the Society employed the same theme for its annual meeting held at First Baptist Church, Richmond. The key speaker was Dr. John V. Upton, Jr. who masterfully shared from his unique travel experiences in his fi ve years as president of the Baptist World Alliance. He particularly shared about individuals whom he had met across the world. The new Virginia Baptist Register also carried articles on the Reconstruction period following the Civil War. David Laubach, an historian among American Baptists, contributed an article entitled “Baptist Boundaries: Northern Missionaries in the South.” He told about the missions work especially among the freedmen which was performed by Northern Baptists in Virginia. Fred Anderson contributed “Virginia Baptist Overtures Toward Reconciliation after the Civil War,” pointing out that the Baptist General Association of Virginia was the fi rst religious body in the South to purposely seek reconciliation with Baptists beyond the South.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 91 The Virginia Baptist Register for 2016 included the biography of James Thomas, Jr., a Virginia Baptist who was considered to be the most outstanding Baptist layman in the South in the 19th century. He was a self-made millionaire who shared his wealth with numerous Baptist causes but, more importantly, he was an active and devoted participant in the life of his church and denomination. He died in 1882 and his name has been virtually forgotten and Fred Anderson’s biographical article brings James Thomas, Jr. and his remarkable family before today’s Baptists. The Register also includes a major treatment on the history of Baptists and Baptist work in the Northern Neck of Virginia, that historical area between the Rappahannock and the Potomac rivers where Baptists early gained a foothold in its religious life. One of the important ministries of the Historical Society is assisting Virginia Baptist churches with the preservation of their records. The Society’s church records repository includes 4,140 church record books from over 500 Virginia Baptist churches. The records repository as well as the Society’s archives and library are in constant use by researchers. During the year of 2015 there were 260 researchers who used the Baptist collection and in the fi rst half of 2016 there were an additional 133 researchers. These include Virginia Baptist ministers, church clerks and historians, and individuals interested in a myriad of topics. Fred Anderson, executive director of the Society, continued to present heritage programs in churches across Virginia. Many of these programs were done in character as he told the church’s history through the memories of a Virginia Baptist personality from the past.

We work in the tradition of WMU by developing kingdom leaders through missions education, support, involvement and camping experiences. Our Board of Trustees, associational WMU Directors, along with their leadership teams, Ministry Councils, state staff and volunteers continue to champion the global missions enterprise. DEVELOPING KINGDOM LEADERS As a team, we develop leaders for the Kingdom of God! The younger Abigail Girls and the older State Panelists, are selected from Virginia Baptists churches for their outstanding passion and commitment to missions. This year the Abigail Girls enthusiastically raised $5,034.62 for the purchase of Physical Education equipment for the Dryden Elementary School in Southwest Virginia. The State Panelists planned the teenage girl’s event called Shine that is held annually at Eagle Eyrie each spring. In these leadership development cohorts, young ladies are given the opportunity to embolden and build upon their gifts, skills and abilities, including: helping to positively reinforce their courage of speaking before an audience about missions and of God’s call on their lives. They also engage in short-term mission projects. Two leadership development opportunities held for women include our annual Come to the Table event in the spring and the Women’s Get Away held annually in late fall. MISSIONS EDUCATION Missions education continues to be a key focus of our work. The leaders of Mission Friends, Girls in Action/ Children in Action, Royal Ambassador’s/Challengers and Acteens/Students on Mission are equipped through age- level appropriate resources including consultation and training. Our Children’s Missions Consultant, Rhonda Marstin provided training for leaders at the First Baptist Church (FBC), Ridgeway, as they sought resources that would make Wednesday night programing for children engaging while also alleviating some of the preparation work for the volunteers. Rhonda introduced them to WMU age-level curriculum and as a result they changed their Wednesday night children’s focus to Children in Action and Mission Friends. At FBC Ridgeway, one stated that “there is a brand new excitement for the Children’s Ministry overall!”

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 93 WMUV still continues to raise awareness on social issues that biblically demand a missional response from Christ followers. Our HOPE (Working Together in the Hope of Christ), Teams are being deployed throughout Virginia Baptist congregations and associations with a message of hope in ways which relate to some of life’s toughest issues. The volunteers on the Hope: Mental Health Team remain present in Virginia Baptist life by helping churches to respond to the challenge of mental illness in our shared families and communities alike. This is made possible due to gifts made to the Alma Hunt Offering. MISSIONS SUPPORT WMUV celebrates another year of supporting missionaries and their wide-range of mission causes at home and around the world. We support a child at the Source of Light Orphanage in Haiti and widows that are part of the work of the WMU of India led by Divya Ashish. Uniquely, this year we have been intentional about identifying the IMB Missionaries from Virginia that are back in the United States due to the Voluntary Retirement Incentive (VRI). Our goal has been to solicit prayer requests and to inform Virginia Baptist churches of any needs that the VRI missionaries had while in transition. One Virginia missionary wrote WMUV and said, “What a blessing to receive such an encouraging email! We have enjoyed our time with churches and WMU groups in our association. The opportunities to share and the kindness shown us have helped us immensely during our time of transition.” MISSIONS INVOLVEMENT Hands on missions involvement is a hallmark of Virginia Baptist life. WMUV continues to not only inspire others and to resource the church for missions but to provide opportunities for involvement as well. This year, teams were deployed to serve in North and South Dakota on the Standing Rock Reservation, in Romania at the Naomi Center, in Korea teaching English and in Flint, Michigan among those affected by the water crisis. Our Sisters Who Care Consultant, Lorae Ponder led the team to Flint, Michigan to clean and prepare a community center and to provide missions training for women. The people of Flint were tired, as it had been one year at the time of this visit since they’ve had clean water for drinking, cooking or bathing. Lorae tells us that they met one mother who travels a considerable distance once a week to a relative’s home in a nearby state to bathe. In spite of these challenges, says Lorae, “The team encouraged the church to remain steadfast.” CAMPING EXPERIENCES This past summer camp season is probably the busiest on record. We hosted 14 weeks of camp including our traditional camping program and three additional ones: including American Heritage Girls, Young Life and Camp Kesem. We witnessed many facility improvements at CrossRoads this year. We celebrate the: • completion of all 3 restrooms in Hunt Hall as a result of Campaign140. • HVAC systems installed in the Hunt Hall auditorium and kitchen. • new industrial kitchen equipment allowing us to accommodate larger groups more effi ciently. • new and improved bridge allowing access across the river for worship and activities. • new cabin bunk beds and mattresses as well as upgraded cabin path lighting. • new activities on campus to include two high ropes courses, a three-person giant swing, a pamper pole, a beach sand volleyball court, a gaga pit and 4-square/basketball mini court and a recreational Frisbee golf course. We also celebrate the fact that we continue to host weekend retreats at CrossRoads all year long. Our core work nevertheless is still to imprint the love of missions in the hearts of children! A goal of WMUV is to increase our camping numbers in an effort to ensure the missions future with tomorrows generations. CONCLUSION As always, we go forward as Virginia Baptist women inspiring, mobilizing and connecting the entire church to be on mission. At this Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, we echo our commitment to our larger work together as Virginia Baptists!

The mission of Averett University is to prepare students to serve and lead as catalysts for positive change. Through work in and out of the classroom, Averett not only prepares students to be those catalysts after graduation, but throughout their time as students. Averett offers students numerous opportunities to explore issues of meaning, purpose and faith as they engage with their peers, faculty and staff 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 serve. Averett’s faculty, staff and student leaders afford students the opportunity to fi nd their passion and turn it into action. This fall, a total enrollment of approximately 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students from 22 states and 14 foreign countries came to Averett. The 2016 entering class included 308 fi rst-year and transfer students and boasts a cumulative GPA of 3.2. Approximately 50 percent of the students in this year’s class are fi rst-generation college students. In December 2015, we graduated our fi rst students from our Averett School of Nursing, and every single one of those graduates is currently working in our region, making a difference in the lives of others. We continue to expand our online programs for adult learners, which currently enrolls 636 students, or 71.6 percent of the Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) student population. Our GPS program is now approved to offer online classes in 36 states. The Averett 2020 Strategic Plan, and the vision of the University, to be a premier, student-centered university renowned for innovative teaching and engaged learning, is fueling our focus and processes. Our four areas of strategic focus include academic innovation, student success, brand excellence and strategic growth. This strategic plan guides the work that all members of the Averett faculty and staff complete every single day, and we work to continually refi ne the projects that are housed in our strategic plan. 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.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 95 CARING AND COMPASSION FOR OTHERS Averett’s Center for Community Engagement and Career Competitiveness (CCECC) had a very successful year. The purpose of the CCECC is to bring classroom learning to life through service-learning courses, internships, community service and undergraduate research. The CCECC is becoming such a wonderful resource, not only to Averett faculty, staff and students, but to other local businesses and non-profi t organizations, as well. Fulfi lling Averett’s mission of preparing students to serve and lead as catalysts for positive change begins during our students’ fi rst semester on campus. Every single one of the required Averett 101 freshman seminar classes are service-learning courses. Students spend time in the classrooms learning from Averett instructors, while also serving outside of the classroom and off Averett’s campus with local organizations. Many classes spend time with local at- risk youth, tutoring them for several hours after school. This gives Averett students time to not only help the children complete their homework, but to also offer healthy, supportive, strong role models for the children to follow. Service-learning classes truly are a win-win situation. The community partners win by having support in the form of Averett students, Averett students win because of the great level of satisfaction they receive from their service, their increased commitment to serving others, the realization that life is not about self but about serving others, and the University as a whole wins by truly showing our mission in action. Currently for the fall 2016 semester, there are 24 service-learning classes, with approximately four service-learning classes being planned for the spring 2017 semester.

Additionally, earlier this year, Averett, along with two other private colleges, led the way for private colleges and universities across the Commonwealth in the signing of the Virginia Compact on National Service. An initiative spearheaded by the Governor and First Lady of Virginia, the compact represents the commitment of Virginia’s higher education institutions to provide more opportunities for young people in this country to undertake a year of national service. And, at the state level, the conversation on service year will continue this October, when Averett will host the Governor’s Summit for Enhancing Engagement in the Commonwealth. BAPTIST YOUTH SUMMER CAMPS This summer, Averett was proud to host more than 1,550 Baptist youth and approximately 25 staff members over a period of six weeks for Passport and IMPACT camps. This is the fi fth summer for Passport and the fourth for IMPACT at Averett. Both Passport and IMPACT are ecumenical youth mission camps that bring young people together for work on different rebuilding and revamping projects. Averett’s continued involvement with these camps has prompted the City of Danville to actively provide projects for these students and look forward to them coming year after year. 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. Averett was grateful to host such vibrant and dedicated young people, sharing their mission and service with our community. RELIGIOUS LIFE Excitement grows on campus concerning Averett spiritual life. Reverend Skyler Daniel is now in his second year as University Chaplain, overseeing student campus ministries and spiritual life programs, delivering weekly devotionals to the entire Averett family online, providing counseling and mentorship to students, and leading campus prayers and condolences. Rev. Daniel facilitates partnerships with the BGAV, local churches and church leaders, the CCECC, and other organizations to enhance spiritual life on Averett’s campus and make an impact in the community. Averett maintains its decades-long history of a Baptist Student Union, Christian Student Fellowship, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes – with more than 50 students involved and seven student leaders – groups who meet regularly for prayer, fellowship, and meals at West Main Baptist Church, led by Rev. Daniel. Additionally this year, a Christian Student Fellowship praise band has developed. New to Averett this year is the Prayer Wall that has been installed in the foyer of the Galesi Family Student Success Center. Created by Rev. Daniel and our students in the spring, this prayer wall gives students, faculty and staff the opportunity to anonymously share prayer requests, as well as pray for others who have shared their requests. This prayer wall also serves as an introduction to Rev. Daniel through a humorous but informative biography and photo of him, as well as introduces the different options for students to get involved in religious life on campus, and serves as an announcement board for passersby to learn of upcoming events in Religious Life. 96 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS Additionally, the Offi ce of Spiritual Life offers a small library of video curricula (e.g. Nooma) for students to check out and use for Bible studies in their residence hall rooms. Averett Spiritual Life is vibrant, pervasive, positive and growing. RELIGION DEPARTMENT Over the past fi ve years, Averett has had as many as 18 religion major/minors in a single year, and as few as four or fi ve. Of those students, roughly 40 percent are called to ministry and virtually all of them continue as lay leaders or conduct missional work. In addition, all Averett students are required to take two religion courses as part of their degree requirements. Beginning in the fall 2015 semester, Averett and the Latino Network of Virginia Baptists entered into a partnership in support of the Network’s Certifi cate in Ministry Formation, a one-year training program in Spanish for Latino pastors and church leaders in Virginia and beyond. Averett serves as the program’s educational partner, assuring quality instruction for church leaders in the areas of biblical formation and ministry leadership. The partnership represents Averett University’s covenant relationship with the Baptist General Association of Virginia, with which the Latino Network is a partner. There are 46 Latino church leaders and pastors who completed the Advanced Certifi cate in Ministry Formation certifi cate program. These 46 dedicated men and women, who are leaders in their families and communities and often holding full-time jobs in addition to their church work, come from all over the Commonwealth of Virginia. FINDING YOUR CALLING Averett’s focus is on developing and coordinating our educational offerings to promote a strong religious foundation and holistic education for our students. A key facet of college life for students is fi nding their vocation – their true calling in life. This may be a call to ministry, but we fi rst want to expose our students to explore their ‘inner and spiritual selves’ in any area in which they fi nd their passion. We want them to feel energized and be their authentic selves through more and more opportunities– in any discipline or major – to explore how they can give back of themselves to their community. As such, we are working with our CCECC to integrate missional opportunities for an alternative spring break, nursing missions to under-served counties and community assistance with churches in our region. UPTICK FOR WOMEN For the fi fth year, Averett was honored to host 10 participants in a day-long Uptick for Women session facilitated by President Tiffany M. Franks. This year’s event was held June 27 at Dr. Franks’ home. Uptick is a leadership process for high-potential missional leaders, providing an accelerated track for those who have already demonstrated signifi cant 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. Uptick Voice participants were hosted the next day to learn about inter-generational communication and fundraising strategies to employ in their work and ministry. BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF RICHMOND PARTNERSHIP An exciting partnership between the Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond (BTSR) and Averett’s GPS MBA programs to assist M.Div. students has been established. Through the new partnership, students will learn the business essentials of operating their churches – fi ling taxes, budgeting, staff and personnel human resources management, etc. It is the fi rst of its kind in our region and will be a model in its structure for others to follow. CAMPUS UPDATES The Averett 2020 Strategic Plan is continuing, with every member of the Averett family working to fulfi ll our vision of being a premier student-centered university renowned for innovative teaching and engaged learning. Some of our most recent highlights from the University include: • The opening of the new Frank R. Campbell Stadium. • Averett was ranked No. 20 Best Regional Liberal Arts College in the South by U.S. News & World Report, which is the highest ranking in the University’s history. Additionally, Averett was ranked No. 9 Best Regional College in the South for Veterans.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 97 • The School of Nursing recently received accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education for the fi ve-year maximum term for accreditation. • Creation of a Health and Wellness Center on campus through a partnership with Danville Regional Medical Center, as well as a partnership with the Danville Family YMCA to offer discounted YMCA memberships to students, faculty and staff. • Three exciting new sports have been added to Averett’s roster: women and men’s lacrosse and men’s wrestling. The addition of these new sports will add to our enrollment and attraction of new student- athletes. • Building on the demand and success of our RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees, Averett is exploring adding advanced nursing degrees to our deliverables to meet the needs of our medically underserved area. • This year, Averett will be opening the Carrington Academic Center at the North Campus, which will be the fi rst dedicated study area there. • Averett Aviation has partnered with Piedmont Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group Inc., to offer pilot prospects a guaranteed career path to American Airlines. Averett aeronautics majors will have the opportunity to interview for Piedmont’s cadet program after achieving their Private Pilot Certifi cate – something that usually happens within the freshman year of college at Averett – and fl ow through the program to become a cadet instructor, then eventually a Piedmont pilot, and fi nally a pilot with American Airlines. • Completion of a 10-year, incremental master plan for renovation of our residence halls. • Renovation of Averett’s “old gym” and re-opening it as the Carrington Gym. • The addition of a new music initiative in early childhood education – Growing up Musically (GUM). This initiative began in January at Head Start and Smart Beginnings’ childcare facilities in Danville. This program partners Averett early childhood education students with local pre-school aged children to incorporate music and movement as part of classroom instruction. • Introduction of a new instrumental music program.

In covenant with the Baptist General Association of Virginia since 1922, Bluefi eld College is an inclusive Christ- centered learning community developing transformational servant leaders. Committed to expanding students’ potential through academic excellence and the integration of faith, the liberal arts, career-oriented programs, and service to God and the global community, the college continues to be recognized for its classroom technology, affordability, personalized instruction, and learning settings on the mission fi eld and in countries abroad. At Bluefi eld College, we like to ask students: “What do you want to know,” and “how do you want to be known?” A quick review of the 2015-2016 academic year shows signifi cant evidence of how students and alumni are answering these questions and how Bluefi eld is continuing to fulfi ll its vision of graduating servant leaders who understand their life calling and transform the world. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN 2015-2016 As part of its commitment to academic excellence, Bluefi eld College sent students around the world for study in 2015-2016. For example, science students traveled to Brazil to study the Amazon Forest and other environmental wonders along the Brazilian coast of Belem. Others traveled to Spain for an “amazing” and “life fulfi lling” semester of study in intermediate Spanish and European history and culture. That trip also included visits to 20 additional cities in eight different countries, including Spain, Italy, Greece, England, France, Holland, Ireland and Germany. Even more students traveled to China as part of the school’s ongoing academic and cultural exchange with Jiangsu Second Normal University in Nanjing. That program also included four Chinese students and a professor spending part of a semester on the BC campus. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, the college further demonstrated its commitment to academic excellence through the development of new academic programs. In addition to its more than 40 current traditional and online offerings, BC added an art business major, created collaboratively by the school’s Art and Business departments and designed for students interested in starting or

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 99 running businesses related to art or interested in managing museums or galleries; a Teachers of Chemistry Certifi cate Program, designed to offer graduate level chemistry courses to teachers who need certifi cation to teach dual- enrollment chemistry classes at high schools and community colleges; an Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management Certifi cate Program for entrepreneur-minded adults interested in launching a new business and small business owners looking to improve business results; and is launching in January a Master’s of Science in Nursing for those pursuing family nurse practitioner licensure. For its efforts toward academic excellence, Bluefi eld College was ranked among the Top Tier Colleges in the South in U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges: 2016.” The college was also recognized for a third year in a row by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni as one of just 22 colleges in America with an A-rated core curriculum – a prestigious honor reserved for a mere 22 colleges and universities in the nation. Other distinctions bestowed upon the college in 2015-2016: ranked in the top 50 among the nation’s “best values” by The Economist magazine based on earnings of alumni that exceed expectations; ranked 11th among the Top 50 Most Beautiful Christian Colleges and Universities in the nation; selected as a top military friendly school by Military Advanced Education & Transition; named among the top colleges in Virginia by Virginia Living magazine; placed among the top 30 online colleges in the nation; ranked among the top three online colleges in Virginia; placed among the best online Christian colleges in America; rated among the most affordable online colleges in America; ranked among the best online criminal justice programs in the country; and named the number one college in Virginia for graduating students for careers in corrections and criminal justice. SERVICE ABOVE SELF IN 2015-2016 Bluefi eld College also demonstrated a yearlong commitment to service. For example, the BC family began the school year with a fall day of service called Operation Bluefi eld, a community outreach program that involved dozens of students, faculty and staff in hours of volunteer work at an after-school program for at-risk youth, a local food pantry, and community recreation facilities. Also in the fall, Bluefi eld students honored the memory of the victims of the tragic September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and paid tribute to the heroes who served the wounded that day by participating in a 9-11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. Other BC students took part in making 23 pillowcase dresses, a mission project in partnership with the BGAV for the Baptist Congress that provided dresses to underprivileged girls in South Africa. Later in the year, even more students took part in the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service. Designed to better communities through service and to honor the life of service lived by Dr. King, the day involved BC students in work at the Bluefi eld Union Mission, the Wade Center, the Salvation Army, Second Chance Cats, Open Heart Ministries, and the New Opportunity School for Women at Bluefi eld College. And, in the summer of 2016, the BC family responded to the needs of victims of major fl ooding in West Virginia by sending nearly 400 pieces of furniture to those in need. The furniture came from a timely residence hall renovation project that brought not only new furniture to BC resident students, but also relief to fl ood victims whose homes were devastated by the high water. For all this and more, the college received the U.S. Department of Education’s President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll distinction. And, for their service, integrity, respect, responsibility and sportsmanship, BC student-athletes helped earn the college a Champions of Character Five Star award from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). CHRIST-CENTERED IN 2015-2016 True to its mission, Bluefi eld College also remained Christ-centered in 2015-2016, demonstrated by the integration of faith in the classroom and in living and learning environments all across campus. Committed to providing an intentionally Christ-centered atmosphere where students are genuinely cared for and encouraged to pursue their God-given gifts and abilities, the college offered countless opportunities for students to grow spiritually through Bluefi eld Collegiate Ministries, Pursuit Women’s Ministry, Young Life, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, weekly chapel services, small group studies, and mission trips. The college also welcomed hundreds of youth from across the region to campus to take part in Winter Blast, a two- day extreme winter worship weekend featuring skiing, sledding and tubing, but also worship, Christian discourse, and spiritual growth. The school also hosted international missionaries Henry and Tasha Clary for the year to share the Gospel and the value of missions with the BC family and the public at-large. In addition, Professor Rob Merritt

100 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS attended a weeklong seminar on “Teaching Interfaith Understanding” in an effort to broaden his knowledge and strengthen his teaching of interfaith understanding for the development of future courses on the subject at BC. FULFILLING A LIFE’S CALLING IN 2015-2016 As a result of Bluefi eld College’s commitment to its mission, students are fi nding and fulfi lling their calling and making a name for themselves as they strive to transform the world. Among them, Sarah Cordill Jones (’08), who earned a Teacher of the Year award in 2015-2016 despite being diagnosed with cancer; Amber MacDonald (’12), who is conducting cancer research as a graduate student at the University of Tennessee; Jesse Cole (’02), who is making a difference in this generation of young adults as the founder of 1,000 Kings, an organization dedicated to building leadership skills and enhancing personal development in young men; Julie Austin (‘12), who is serving her country and protecting lives with the U.S. Coast Guard in one of the most extreme places on earth, the Bering Sea; and Richard Vaughan (‘06), a two-term sheriff of Grayson County, Virginia, now president of the Virginia Sheriff’s Association, just to name a few. And while helping students discover and realize their life’s calling is part of the BC mission, it doesn’t always adhere to conventional methods or apply only to traditional college students as evidenced in the New Opportunity School for Women at Bluefi eld College. Eleven women attended the spring 2016 session of the NOSW, a life- changing residential program for disadvantaged women from Appalachia who wish to confront their circumstances, overcome their conditions, and pave the way for a new and better life. 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 Bluefi eld College and the result of faithful and supportive alumni and friends, particularly Virginia Baptists, and their faithfulness to give. We invite you to visit campus sometime soon to see the ways in which your support is making a difference. And for prospective students, we invite you to come and consider our questions. “What do you want to know?” “How do you want to be known?” While here, we invite you to know the beauty of a Christ-centered community that encourages your passions. Know the self-discovery that is nurtured when your professors become your mentors. Know the joy of a refreshing hike after class through the Appalachian Mountains. Know the excellence of a liberal arts education that lays the foundation for your life’s calling. At the same time, come and be known by the caring professors who want only to see you succeed. Be known as a member of a community engaged in any number of student organizations, sports, service or ministry opportunities. Be known for the pursuit of your passions and the relationships you forge as you journey to discover your life’s calling. Bluefi eld College: Know and be known.

ABOUT FORK UNION MILITARY ACADEMY Fork Union Military Academy is a private, college-preparatory, Christian boarding school for boys located in Fluvanna County in Virginia. Founded in 1898 by Dr. William E. Hatcher, the Academy offers an extensive college preparatory program for boys in grades 7 through 12, as well as for recent high school graduates seeking a one-year postgraduate program to better prepare for the college of their choice. The Academy enrolls students from throughout the United States and from numerous countries beyond our nation’s borders. Over ninety-eight percent of our graduates are accepted into colleges and universities each year. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM Our Upper School utilizes a One-Subject Plan of Study. The school year is divided into fi ve terms, with approximately thirty-six days per term. One academic subject is taken by each student each term. One Carnegie unit of credit is earned for the successful completion of each academic subject. An array of electives is available, as well, with each offering academic credit. Our seventh graders follow a more traditional academic schedule involving core academic subjects and seminar classes to enhance their academic experience. Eighth graders transition from a more traditional program into the One-Subject plan in the spring of the year. BGAV AFFILIATION In 1913, the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) began supporting the Academy fi nancially, recognizing the school’s unique Christian service and ministry to young people. Even with the diminishing fi nancial support, the BGAV and Fork Union Military Academy have provided thousands of young men a sound education that is grounded in Christian values, that prepares them for higher education and for life, and that trains them for service and leadership in church and community.

102 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS OUR SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS During the school year, Fork Union cadets attend mandatory chapel services three times a week. In recent years, 28 cadets have gone through believer’s baptism during our chapel services after a public profession of faith before their peers. Academic classes each morning are started by teachers leading the cadets in a devotion and prayer. In addition, in order to earn a Fork Union diploma, cadets must take our Religion class, usually offered during the junior year. Opportunities to focus on the service aspect of Christian faith are afforded to cadets throughout the year by involvement in community service projects. Bible studies are offered on campus during the school year, and are attended by faculty, staff, and cadets. THE 2015-16 ACADEMIC SESSION In the fall of 2015, 393 young men from 26 states and 10 foreign nations arrived on our campus to begin the 117th academic session. Approximately 57% had been FUMA cadets the previous year, and 348 of them were boarding students. On the last Saturday this past May, after nine fl eeting months of hard work by all, the FUMA Alumni Association welcomed 93 new members as the class of 2016 received their diplomas and Post-Graduate certifi cates of completion. Although these young men were awarded nearly $5.5 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. CONCLUDING THOUGHTS Private boarding schools throughout the United States are struggling, and in particular those like ours who truly challenge young men to become all they are capable of becoming. At Fork Union we believe some military schools have struggled not because they are military, but because they did not hold fi rm to their Christian legacy, their core values, or their founder’s vision. We speak often at Fork Union of our founder, Dr. Hatcher, a prominent Baptist preacher, and ask ‘What would Dr. Hatcher do?’ What makes Fork Union unique is that we are college-prep, Christian, and military, and we use the One Subject Plan. We have no debt, we accept no federal or state money, and we have success in abundance in our alumni. We believe other schools are going out of business because they lost their way. They stopped believing in themselves and their mission. We want to reach more young men, not less. With an enrollment approaching 400, we are the largest boarding military high school in Virginia, and one of the largest in the country. We’ve intentionally been on the very edge of fi nancial sustainability since our founding, because we believe that boys matter more than money. We educate, develop, and inspire young men. We build character. We teach leadership. Boys become men at Fork Union…we believe the world needs more bright, fi t, and faithful young men…not fewer. So, our Board of Trustees initiated a “Called to Lead” Campaign, where we plan to raise $200M dollars over the next fi ve years for scholarship support and campus renovations. If anyone reading this has the means that would allow us to reach this goal, please let us know. The campaign is based on our belief that people will want to invest in the school that has stayed true to a set of core values that are clearly defi ned and values that guide our actions as an educational institution. If you cannot help us fi nancially, please pray that we will meet our campaign goal. Young men and this nation will surely benefi t when we do.

In May 2016 Hargrave Military Academy completed its 107th year of service and commitment to developing young men in mind, body, character and spirit. Cadets from Virginia, 13 other states, and 4 countries were in attendance at the commencement proceedings May 14, 2016, and 39 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 16 years 99.5% of its Cadets have been accepted into colleges and universities. These institutions notably include The United States Naval Academy, Norwich University, The Citadel, Virginia Tech, Liberty University, Regent University, and The United States Military Academy at West Point. Furthermore, the Class of 2016 earned $2.7 million in college scholarships and fi nancial 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 welcome 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 fi rst 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 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). 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 2016-2017 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.

Oak Hill Academy completed its 137th academic session on May 21 with 35 graduates receiving high school diplomas. 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”—137 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 girls and boys who need a change in their educational setting. The dedicated Christian faculty and staff view their tenure at Oak Hill as a time 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 2015, Oak Hill received 131 students from twenty-four U.S. States and from around the world. Over the course of the academic year our enrollment increased to 148. Our International Students hailed from the countries of Canada, China, France, Liberia, Tanzania, Israel, United Kingdom, Australia, Senegal, Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, and Botswana. On May 15th, a large congregation of family members, students, and faculty and staff welcomed to campus the Rev. Rick Page for the annual Baccalaureate address. The sermon to our graduates and student body was upbeat and inspirational.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 105 Some six days later 39 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: The College of William and Mary, Old Dominion University, Christopher Newport University, Hollins University, Emory and Henry College, Virginia Tech, University of Miami, University of Alabama, East Carolina University, Louisiana State University, Asbury University (KY), Miami University of Ohio, Washington College (MD), Mississippi State University, University of Missouri, Penn State, University of Miami, and University of Arizona. In the athletic arena Oak Hill continues to receive national recognition, particularly on the basketball court. In April our team won the Dick’s National High School Basketball Championship, appearing live to a nationwide television audience (ESPN). 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- fi lled. 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 refl ection 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 fi rst-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 the 2014-2015 school year because of the Ebola virus concerns, Oak Hill was happy to receive two students from Liberia the fall of 2015. Room, board, tuition and fees for the June 15 – May 16 academic year were $33,920. With a budget of $5,168,150, Virginia Baptists contributed $40,259.69, which represents .77% of our operating budget. Oak Hill also awarded scholarships or tuition reduction for students in need of fi nancial assistance, totaling $735,241. 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 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. OHA also represents the largest single employer in the western section of Grayson County. One hundred and thirty-seven 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 Association of Virginia.

We released in September a feature-length fi lm on what missionaries did to save lives in Nigeria in 1966. It is an untold story that is fi nally getting its due on its 50th anniversary. “The Disturbances” is an incredible story about ruin and redemption, blood and boldness, denial and dedication, guilt and goodness. It is both horrifying and inspiring. “Your documentary is smart, well told and has so much heart. I hope everyone sees it,” said a movie reviewer in The Tennessean. The UK’s Christian Today reviewer wrote: “The Disturbances is a fi rst-class piece of documentary that recovers a vital piece of history that could have been lost forever. But it’s also a window into how Christians responded at a time of terrible danger and distress, and how they remained faithful to their calling. It is not just informative, but inspirational.” Documentary interviewees include missionaries and missionary children with the Assemblies of God, Christian Reformed Church, Church of the Brethren, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Southern Baptist Convention and Sudan Interior Mission, as well as Nigerians. We also reference the role of the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We conducted more than two dozen on-camera interviews, acquired nearly 2,500 documents, slides and photographs, obtained several hours of missionary 8mm and 16mm home movies, worked with roughly a dozen different denominational, educational and fi lm archives, and talked to scores of other witnesses. Accompanying the fi lm is a book that goes into more detail and provides more stories than the fi lm. Both are available to order at the TheDisturbances.com. These moral resources bring texture and depth to the work of missionaries, showing risky leadership, humanitarian vigor and creative problem solving. These resources also provide a substantive look at genocide, one of the most grievous issues demanding attention from the church. “The Disturbances” is a dynamic resource that churches can use with their annual global mission emphasis and offering. The Baptist Center for Ethics, better known as EthicsDaily.com, observed its 25th anniversary in 2016. BCE/EthicsDaily.com is grateful for its partnership with the Baptist General Association of Virginia and deeply appreciative of the many Virginia leaders who interface with us to make good things happen.

2016-2017 promises to be a year of growth and excitement as BTSR celebrates its 25th year of educating women and men for servant leadership. The Offi ce of Admissions and Recruitment has a comprehensive plan in place for travel and recruitment, both in Virginia and the surrounding states. The Dean’s offi ce launched the use of e-portfolios last Fall, offering students and faculty an interactive, comprehensive method of assessment and review of student work. Financially, BTSR fi nds itself in its healthiest position in 20 years. The Advancement Offi ce is celebrating increased fi nancial support through pledges and annual gifts, and reengagement with alumni and other partners through the sharing of stories and visions for the future of BTSR. This summer, BTSR and the Religious Freedom Center of the Newseum Institute launched a partnership offering courses designed to equip civic and religious leaders to navigate the intersection of religion and public life. Students at BTSR will be able to declare a concentration in Religious Freedom as part of their Master of Divinity degree program, completing a total of 72 core semester hours at BTSR and 15 semester hours of concentration electives with the Religious Freedom Center, for a total of 87 semester hours. Virginia Baptists have long been champions of religious freedom, and we believe this partnership will strengthen our ability to provide another generation of ministry leaders well-trained in religious freedom.

108 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS BTSR offers four degrees and a Certifi cate program: M.Div. students may select a concentration in Biblical Interpretation, Christian Education, Justice and Peace building, Theology or Youth and Student Ministries. These different concentrations are all built on the same foundation of theological education that focuses on spiritual formation, global mission immersion and a congregational focus. Students may also pursue a dual degree program and earn a Master of Social Work or Master of Science in Patient Counseling with their M.Div. through a special partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University. The program utilizes Bowen Family Systems theory to provide 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. 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, and theology, along with cultural and social concerns. 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 fi rm 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. This program is focused toward church laity who desire deeper studies in Bible and Theology. This certifi cate 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 certifi cate 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 718 graduates – most of who have served, or are serving Virginia Baptist churches.

We are pleased to host our 2016-17 lecture series: Life on the Vine. Our year-long focus on congregational health will assist ministers and congregations in navigating the challenges of church in the 21st century. The four Coffee & Conversations, sponsored by Hampton Baptist Church in honor of Chester Brown, will feature a 20-minute lecture followed by a 40-minute dialogue with a knowledgeable expert. Those sessions are as follows: • 9/27: Dr. Amy Butler, “Reclaiming the Neighborhood Church” • 11/1: Dr. Valerie Carter, “Between Black and White” • 2/14: Rev. Colleen Burroughs, “Family Matters” • 4/18: Dr. John Vest, “Is Evangelism a Dirty Word?” Each session begins at 11:30am in the BTSR chapel, followed by lunch. As part of our series, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Virginia is sponsoring a Pastors’ School on October 13, featuring Dr. Jim Somerville and BTSR faculty, around the topic, “Teaching the Church to Swim.” We will explore how we help clergy navigate the changing tides of church life and how we move from a preservation mindset to a kingdom-building mindset.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 109 Dr. Scott Spencer will build off of our “Life on the Vine” theme with our Solon B. Cousins lecture series on “Passions of the Christ.” We look forward to using this opportunity to continue to train and equip area leaders for ministry in the 21st century.

RENEWING OUR PROMISES Each quinquennium offers us opportunity to renew our commitments – to cherish the family of Baptists around the world; to love and serve humankind and all of creation; and to offer unending worship to the triune God in whose mission we fi nd our calling. Last year, our 21st Congress, the fi rst ever on the continent of Africa, took us to Durban, South Africa. There we immersed ourselves into new and meaningful ways of relating cross-culturally and of expressing our oneness in Christ Jesus. We live in a fractured world where natural disasters large and small ruin the hopes of many; where war and injustice fuel a vast tide of refugees; where hatred, violence and heated rhetoric conspire to destroy our sense of belonging in the one human community that God has created. It is in this world that we have opportunity to display the Christian hospitality and spirit of service Jesus modeled for us. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide funds to help communities cope in the aftermath of disasters, to increase our efforts to relieve hunger and suffering; and to help churches show the face of Jesus to refugees, especially from the Middle East.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 111 Your gifts helped Baptists serve their communities in countries like Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Turkey, Kenya and Liberia. Because of you, we were able to support job training for women and girls in Central African Republic; farming and livestock programs in India and the Democratic Republic of Congo; and to offer needed help to rural schools in Sierra Leone. We used connecting technology to host web meetings with youth leaders across the world, giving them access to resources and relationships to enrich their ministries. We seek to nurture our young people and help reach the next generation for Christ. These are just a few of the ways we continue to deliver ministries that promote freedom and justice and respond to human need. Besides these, we have nurtured efforts to strengthen the passion for mission and evangelism; we have fostered fellowship and unity; and through all of our efforts we have called people to ground their actions in God, our creator, redeemer and sanctifi er. The 2015 report of our auditors is on our website. It is also available on request. We hope you will call us with any questions or comments on how we have used your gifts. Your feedback is always welcome. We fully trust that you will never forget that, as Jesus promised, our Lord walks with us on every step of our life’s journey. Let us join hands and give thanks for all God is accomplishing through our fellowship and engagement as a worldwide Baptist family. Thank God for your prayers and continued support.

The Baptist House of Studies was established in 1988 as a ministry formation center, embedded in an ecumenical Divinity School. The Baptist House is committed to the education and preparation of women and men following a call to Baptist ministry. Eight full-time Baptist faculty and senior administrative staff as well as other local Baptist pastors and adjuncts serve as advisers and mentors for the students with Baptist affi liations. They include: • J. Kameron Carter (Theology) • Stephen B. Chapman (Old Testament) • Curtis W. Freeman (Theology) • David Odom (Leadership) • Richard Payne (Theology and Medicine) • Luke Powery (Preaching and Dean of Duke Chapel) • James Travis (Pastoral Care, Emeritus) • William C. Turner, Jr. (Preaching) • Norman Wirzba (Theology, Ecology, and Agrarian Studies) There are currently 86 Baptist students across the denominational spectrum among the 633 students enrolled in seven degree programs. Baptists comprised just under 10% of the fall 2016 entering class of MDiv students. Baptists make up the second largest denominational group among students in the Divinity School behind Methodists. There are currently 6 students from Virginia enrolled in degree programs. Dr. Elaine Heath was named dean of the Divinity School this fall. She is a theologian, preacher, teacher, and writer, with a particular interest in Christian spirituality and missional engagement. She has already begun to collaborate as a speaker and resource for the Fresh Expressions programs in the BGAV. Dr. Curtis W. Freeman has served as Research Professor and the Director of the Baptist House since 2001. The Baptist House has begun collaborating with the BGAV Preaching Camp and the Spence Leadership Network for ministry placement and ongoing formation of Duke students and alumni, as well as cooperating with the BGAV regional fi eld strategists for the placement of graduates in congregations and other ministry settings. Several BGAV congregations supervised a Duke student for fi eld education this past year. Baptist graduates of Duke Divinity School continue to serve in BGAV connected congregations, including Chris Cadenhead, the pastor of Bonsack Baptist Church, which is hosting the 2016 Annual Gathering of the BGAV.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 113 In support of Baptist students, Duke Divinity School has received two challenge grants for which we are seeking matching funds. First, a donor has offered $50,000 in matching funds for current scholarships to support Baptist students. Second, a donor has offered a dollar for dollar $250,000 matching challenge to establish fi eld education placements for Baptist students in excellent and healthy BGAV congregations. The resulting $500,000 would establish an endowment for this purpose. For details, contact Betsy Poole, Duke Divinity Development (919-660- 3402). On October 17, 2016, the Baptist House of Studies and the Charles B. Keesee Educational Foundation signed a covenant partnership, enabling Baptist students, who are residents of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and enrolled in Duke Divinity School, to be eligible to apply for Keesee educational grants. We invite potential students from Virginia to contact our Admissions Offi ce for a campus visit (https://divinity.duke. edu/admissions/visit-us), and make sure to connect with the Baptist House of Studies (https://divinity.duke.edu/ formation/houses-of-study/baptist-house).

At Gardner-Webb University, we believe our love for God is expressed through love for humanity. We believe all persons are created in the image of God, and the best life is lived through selfl ess service that treats everyone with dignity and respect. Gardner-Webb is committed to demonstrating God’s love for humankind through our words and our actions. This year, students, faculty, staff, and alums showcased the love of Christ in tangible ways locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. LOCAL SERVICE: CHRIST-CENTERED PARTNERSHIPS In addition to providing world-class healthcare training for its students, the Gardner-Webb University Hunt School of Nursing worked hard this year to connect with the local community to offer medical, educational and ministry resources to improve the overall well being of residents. Those commitments were on display through a partnership with the N.C. Baptist Men, Crestview Baptist Church and several other local agencies that joined to provide uninsured men with tests for glucose and cholesterol levels, screenings for depression and other conditions, and information on topics such as nutrition and disease prevention. Volunteers with the N.C. Baptist Men parked the organization’s mobile Health Screening Ministry bus at Crestview Baptist Church between Boiling Springs and Shelby, and GWU nursing faculty and students provided a variety of nursing services including blood tests and wellness brochures. The church also provided assistance, including lunch and spiritual care. Screenings helped identify emergency medical needs of at least two men, one with a high blood sugar level and another with an infection and infl ammation in his foot, and both men were connected with additional healthcare resources. “Those are two people who will hopefully receive care who wouldn’t have received it otherwise, and that’s what it’s all about,” explained Dr. Sharon Starr, dean of the Hunt School of Nursing at Gardner-Webb. “These men have nowhere else to go, but today they are in a safe place, have learned about their health, and can interact with people who care about them. The whole day is a ministry just for them, and it gives the nursing school a chance to have a link in the community to provide care for people who need it.” With events like the screening day, the array of opportunities nursing provides for helping people attracted GWU senior Jillian Birkenstock, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student, to the profession and to Gardner-Webb’s academic program. She helped research and coordinate a nutrition project for a nursing class and presented much of that information 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 115 to men during the Health Screening Ministry visit. Birkenstock said Gardner-Webb’s nursing school has also provided many other connections to improve the community, including a dance class service for Shelby’s Life Enrichment Center that developed from a gerontology class project. “I’ve really learned what role a nurse plays in a community,” Birkenstock shared. “More than just people who give medication, we’re supposed to be people who are there to listen and care. I feel like I was called to take care of people. The nursing program at Gardner-Webb stresses who the nurse is as a person, not just the skills we need to know, and there are so many ways we can serve others.” REGIONAL SERVICE: MISSION-MINDED LEADERSHIP Venturing a littler farther from home with paintbrushes in their hands and a spirit of joy in their hearts, several Gardner- Webb students traveled a few hours from campus last fall to spend several days helping people in an impoverished North Charleston, S.C., neighborhood. Just a few weeks after devastating South Carolina fl oods and only a few months after the Charleston church shooting tragedy, Dr. Tracy Jessup, vice president for Christian Life and Service and senior minister to the University, accompanied nine students to Charleston County, S.C., during fall break. The group worked with Metanoia Community Development Corporation and was privileged to attend church services at Mother Emmanuel AME Church, a predominantly African- American fellowship located in downtown Charleston, where nine people were shot to death during a Wednesday night prayer meeting. Metanoia was birthed when the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of South Carolina decided they could not be faithful Christians without addressing issues of poverty within their own state. Based in North Charleston, S.C., Metanoia focuses on holistic community development by building youth leadership, establishing quality housing and generating economic development while nurturing people and allowing them to grow their faith in God and one another. During the fi rst day, the group painted offi ces and classrooms. On another day of work, the team spent about six hours clearing brush and trash away from the yards of two homes in the community. Although the work was exhausting, the group could clearly feel the impact of their efforts as residents of the neighborhood shared words of encouragement and gratefulness. “A couple that lived across the street from the house we worked on even brought us some apples in case we got hungry while we were working,” GWU student Megan White shared. “Although the people in that neighborhood had very little, they were all very friendly and willing to give us what they did have to make us feel welcome.” A highlight of the trip, students say, was their Sunday morning visit to the historic Mother Emmanuel AME Church, the location of the tragic mass shooting that claimed the lives of nine devoted members of the community. Jessup said the congregants were incredibly kind, and they were eager to hear about the efforts of the mission team. “Someone mentioned the well-known adage that the most segregated hour in America is on Sunday morning at 11 a.m.,” Jessup offered. “And they connected that concept to the reality that through the tragedy, their congregation had been given an opportunity to embrace and engage people of a variety of ethnicities. They really see that as a blessing that was birthed as a result of the shootings.” Throughout the extended weekend together, the team developed unity both emotionally and spiritually. Jessup gave team members the opportunity to lead the group’s devotional time. He was encouraged by the spiritual growth he witnessed, and asked the students to consider ways they could be more intentional with their personal, God-given assignments. “I hope they are deliberate about asking themselves ‘How am I going to be ‘on mission’ with God when it’s not built into my schedule?’” he refl ected. “That is something we want all students to be able to do as they transition from their time at Gardner-Webb into what their future holds. We want them to use their time here to develop those skills and then carry that spirit of Christ-minded service with them wherever they go.” NATIONAL SERVICE: DOMESTIC REINFORCEMENTS By serving the homeless at the longest-operating mission in the country and volunteering with a citywide 10K race to feed the hungry, a group of Gardner-Webb University students experienced service needs and opportunities during a trip to Chicago.

116 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS For the second straight year, the University’s Community Engagement and Campus Recreation offi ces teamed to offer the annual community engagement service trip, with assistance from Brian Arnold, assistant director of student activities, and Micah Martin, director of student leadership development and community engagement. “God calls us to serve others,” Martin explained. “This trip provided our students with exposure to the world outside of Boiling Springs and outside of the South, and it allows students to wade out into the deep waters of service in a big city with many in need.” The group helped with setup and cleanup for the Run 10 Feed 10 Chicago 10K, a race that traveled through downtown Chicago and helped feed the hungry. Each runner’s entry fee paid for meals for 10 families. “Events like this are just as good to volunteer for as something your church or organization is hosting, and we want our students to see that,” Martin offered. “Things like the 10K are community-wide events that have great benefi t for others.” GWU’s team also visited the Pacifi c Garden Mission, a rescue agency founded in 1877 that provides shelter, a food pantry and other resources to the needy. During the visit, students served meals and worked to provide other forms of aid to the homeless. “When you think of mission and service trips you often think of going to places like Honduras or Guatemala,” shared David Cole, a GWU sophomore. “Those are places that need our help, too, but there are people all across our own nation who need our help just as much if not more, so we liked the concept of going to Chicago. The service trip is a life-changing experience, both the work and service element. GWU student Kelsey Carithers agrees. “Gardner-Webb is a school that provides great opportunities to serve,” she offered. “Whether it’s across the country or right in your own backyard, there are always ways to step outside your comfort zone and help others.” GLOBAL SERVICE: INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS In addition to local, regional, and national service opportunities, Gardner-Webb University has been involved in multiple service-focused foreign mission trips. But one GWU student took advantage of an opportunity to serve as an intern for World Vision Bangladesh. Nathan Buckner may not have realized the impact his family’s move to China would have on his own future career goals. In the seventh grade, his mom, dad, and sister moved from their home in Clemmons, N.C., to Hong Kong where his father served as head of an international Christian school. His passion for global studies was kindled during those years, and his decision to attend Gardner-Webb University has offered even more opportunities for him to further develop his international inclinations. Now a senior at GWU, Buckner is majoring in global studies and recently took advantage of an opportunity to complete an international internship while his parents were living in Bangladesh. Buckner’s advisor encouraged him to connect with World Vision Bangladesh (WVB), a Christian humanitarian, non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the wellbeing of children, families and communities. Buckner was offered a summer internship position and spent the fi rst couple of weeks in the national offi ce, where he worked on research for the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals” for international development. “The new goals focus on resource management, population control, improving health care, maternal health, disease, and other efforts,” Buckner offered. “One of the main things I saw were the ‘Millennium Development Goals,’ which were established about 20 years ago by the United Nations to help improve maternal care, reduce diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria, increase primary education for children, reduce hunger, things like that.” After a few weeks in the national offi ce, he embarked on a weeklong trip to Pergande in the northwestern portion of Bangladesh near India. “I was able to work with a great area development program there, which is like tiny offi ces set up in each region,” he explained. “I really got to see the needs of the individual communities. I saw some income generation through sewing training and farming, through getting seeds and planting training. World Vision has helped get into these areas and offer proper training, for instance on hand washing and basic hygiene. The goal is that the development program can begin to focus on other important needs.”

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 117 Because the economy is mostly agricultural, Buckner said that children have not had as many educational opportunities. “You hear about it all the time, but to see it fi rsthand? It just breaks your heart to see 12-year-olds who chop wood all day and earn a dollar,” he said. “World Vision has helped set up schools in these areas to give basic education to the children. One of the children I met, Muhammad, couldn’t read when he was 10 years old. Through help with World Vision, he has school supplies, books, and is reading on a second or third grade level. He is 13 now, so it’s not perfect, but it’s way better than it was.” Buckner is considering work with another NGO, perhaps in China, since his family is back in Hong Kong now. “It was a really eye-opening experience. I had no idea just how NGOs worked and how they help communities,” he offered. “I had never really thought about how people go to these countries and gain trust and develop relationships and really work with the people there. They foster a bond and share the love of Christ. It was really helpful to see and a blessing to know that Christians all over the world are working together to help those who need it.” WORLD-CLASS ACADEMICS WITHIN A CHRIST-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT While Gardner-Webb consistently emphasizes the importance of serving others, the University remains committed to offering its students stellar academic opportunities. For the fi fth consecutive year, Gardner-Webb was named one of just 24 institutions throughout the entire U.S. to earn an “A” grade for its general education requirements, and remained the only school in the Carolinas to earn the “A” distinction. The 2015-2016 What Will They Learn? Study, conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), ranks the core curriculum (i.e. general education requirements) of all the major public and private colleges and universities in all 50 states. The ranking places GWU in the top two percent in the nation, included with schools such as Pepperdine University (Malibu, Calif.), Baylor University (Waco, Texas), Morehouse College (Atlanta, Ga.), and the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, Colo.), among others. GWU blends a liberal arts core curriculum with more than 60 specialized major and minor programs. Offi cials say the result is a truly comprehensive academic experience grounded in a Christian environment of service, leadership and intellectual freedom. Dr. Ben Leslie is provost and executive vice president for Gardner-Webb and believes the distinction is proof of the University’s commitment to providing an excellent academic backbone for its students. “More than anything else, it is a tribute to the Gardner-Webb faculty, who along with their predecessors, have expressed a deep commitment to a broad-based general education in the liberal arts for many years,” Leslie continued. “Not only does GWU’s general education curriculum conform to the criteria set forth by ACTA, but we actually exceed their expectations by requiring courses in arts, health and wellness, religion, and communications.” LIBERAL ARTS EXCELLENCE With such a strong liberal arts core curriculum, it’s no surprise that Gardner-Webb’s students have thrived in the rich academic environment. In fact, dozens of students were recognized at regional and national levels this year for their in- depth, primary research efforts. Nearly 60 undergraduate and graduate students participated in the Life of the Scholar (LOTS) Multidisciplinary Conference on Gardner-Webb’s campus, and 22 of those undergraduate scholars were delegates to the Alpha Chi 2016 National Convention in Washington, D.C. The Alpha Chi delegation was GWU’s largest since beginning its honor society chapter in 1972, and several students earned signifi cant prizes for their national presentations: • Rebekah Rhea, of Knoxville, Tenn., received one of only 12 national Nolle Scholarships for her essay, “Not Quite Alive: A Discussion of Disability in Terms of Mortality.” • Madison Swift, of Concord, N.C., won a Region III scholarship for “Female Reproductive Health Challenges in Africa and the Middle East,” which she also offered as a poster presentation. • Kevin Mills, of Kings Mountain, N.C., received the Best Presentation Prize for Business Administration for his paper, “Creating an Alternative Meal Plan Using Cost Accounting Principles at Gardner-Webb University.” • Emily DeVries, of Mooresville, N.C., won the Anthropology/Sociology Best Presentation Prize for “Socially Conscious Coffee: An Examination of Fair Trade Programs in the Coffee Industry of Central America.”

118 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS Students’ research topics incorporated both personal and professional interests and experiences, and many presentations displayed studies across multiple liberal arts disciplines such as psychology, languages and sciences. Both conferences spotlighted several students whose projects were supported by Summer Undergraduate Research program funding. Taylor Schwartz, one of those scholars, spent fi ve weeks last summer testing brain responses for evidence of social, performance and pain-related anxiety. “It was an incredible opportunity to do primary research and develop my skills as an academic,” Schwartz exulted. “This experience provided me with tools to design and conduct an experiment and write about my own attempt to understand the brain. This alone is a great contribution to my graduate school applications and enabled me to stand out from others in my fi eld.” Summer Undergraduate Research Scholars also included Elisabeth Moore and Nathan Lile, and Undergraduate Research Grant Winners included Mariana Mellado and Merideth Byl. Gardner-Webb will expand its Undergraduate Research Scholars program to provide opportunities for additional students in the future. In addition to the Alpha Chi awards, LOTS recognized elite scholarship through undergraduate presentation awards to Jeremiah Hamby, Christian Jessup, Mariana Mellado, Kevin Mills, Elisabeth Moore, Rebekah Rhea, Taylor Schwartz, Mary Toohey and Susan Ward. Karen Taylor was recognized for top graduate research, and the Alfred and Shirley Wampler Caudill Best Presentation prize was awarded to Wendy Harmon. Dr. June Hobbs, director of Undergraduate Research, Alpha Chi sponsor and GWU Professor of English, asserted, “These students are representative of all that is to be celebrated at Gardner-Webb.” BULLDOG NATION: STUDENTS EXPERIENCE ATHLETIC & ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE “FIRSTS” Research scholar and student athlete Nathan Lile was a high-performing member of the Runnin’ Bulldogs swim team throughout his collegiate career. Lile, who was a double major in Computer Science and Philosophy, maintained a 4.00 cumulative GPA over his four years at Gardner-Webb and proved to be a major competitor in the classroom as well as in the pool for the Runnin’ Bulldogs. As a result, he received the George A. Christenberry Award for Academic Excellence during the Big South Conference’s annual Hall of Fame ceremony. The award is given to the male and female student- athletes of the Big South Conference who attain the highest cumulative GPA during their college careers. Since 2009, six Gardner-Webb students have been Christenberry Award winners. The Waynesville, N.C., native was also named the 2016 Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Most Outstanding Male Swimmer, claiming the honors for the second year in a row. At the conference championship, Lile set four Conference records, won three individual events and was a pivotal part of two relay victories. A four-time CCSA Academic All-Conference member, and a two-time CCSA Scholar Athlete of the Year, Lile capped off his senior year by becoming the fi rst male swimmer in GWU history to ever qualify for the NCAA Championships. While at the Championships, Lile was honored with the NCAA Elite 90 award, which is given to the student athlete with the highest cumulative grade point average competing at the fi nals’ site. Lile continued his swimming pursuits after making Olympic Trial times in the 50 Free, 100 Back, and the 100 Fly. Lile swam alongside the best swimmers in the nation at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb, along with Gardner-Webb rising senior Connor Bos (Holland, Mich.), who also qualifi ed for the Olympic Trials in the 100 Backstroke. The two joined an elite group of athletes competing for a spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team and were the fi rst men’s swimmers from Gardner-Webb to qualify for the trials. EDUCATION WHERE FAITH & SERVICE CONNECT Gardner-Webb University is a Christ-centered institution founded on the belief that God is the source of all truth. We provide challenging undergraduate and graduate education that is strongly grounded in the liberal arts, while offering students the opportunity to prepare for professional and personal fulfi llment. The pursuit of wisdom and understanding in our community of faith and learning is guided by historic Baptist values. Gardner-Webb is dedicated to higher education that engages scholarship with Christian life by fostering intellectual development, critical refl ection, and spiritual formation. Because we are concerned about the needs of others, we enthusiastically affi rm our active participation in infl uential and impactful service, leadership, and ministry assignments.

The John Leland Center for Theological Studies, also known as Leland Seminary, is becoming one of the leading pan-Baptist seminaries in the nation. This evangelical school based in Arlington, VA, draws students from churches affi liated 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 Bonsack Baptist Church hosts our Southwest center. 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 added Dr. Andrey Shirin to our full-time faculty as Director of Transformational Leadership. Recently Dr. John Lee was promoted to Academic Dean and Dr. Jeff Willetts was honored by being elected as Dean of the McAfee School of Theology of Mercer University. Danielle Bridgeforth, who holds a J.D. from Howard and an M.Div. from Virginia Union, is Director of Enrollment and Development. Vicki Bohannon is continuing to lead our recruitment in the Hampton Roads area and Dr. John Snow, Pastor of Zoar Baptist Church in Deltaville, is now Director of Masters work in the Hampton Roads area. Dr. Eric Spano, Pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Roanoke, leads Leland’s Masters and diploma classes in Southwest Virginia.

The Ministering to Ministers (MTM) Foundation equips ministers through education to manage and thrive even in church confl ict 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 (over 1,700 per month) 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 Baptist General Association of Virginia’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 sent this note: Please extend my heartfelt thanks to the Board and Trustees of MTM, and all who give of their time, talent, and treasure to make this important resource [Healthy Transitions Wellness Retreat] available. Thank you for your taking action to insure that the redemption of your forced termination continues to redeem clergy who are hurting. We found the retreat to be restful, healing and encouraging and are grateful for the ministry of MTM. The Ministering to Ministers Foundation was created in 1994 by a few ministers who had experienced forced termination working with concerned laypersons who were 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 over 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 retreat alumni, two-thirds of those responding to the survey have gone back into a church ministry position – a signifi cant increase over the national norm.

2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 121 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, Christmas Comfort services, as well as awareness and fundraising events. We 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 resulting in more Christians responding to God’s call to vocational ministry, as well as greater retention of current ministers in parish ministry. A major portion of the MTM ministry involves providing a listening ear in person, over the phone, or through social media as ministers share their pain and receive practical advice from an MTM staff worker or representative, as they fi nd their way through one of the most diffi cult journeys of their lives and ministries. In early 2016, the MTM Membership Association was launched through the MTM website. Though everyone can continue to fi nd helpful information on the website, only MTM Association members can access the on-line forums. There is a General Forum which can be accessed by all MTM Association members, and some affi nity forums – clergy only, clergy spouse only, adult children of clergy only – which can be accessed by members fi tting that forum category. Additional affi nity groups are being added. Members in each forum can share their joys and frustrations in a safe setting in a forum which fi ts their status. We believe that some of the best ministry one can receive may come from others who are involved in similar experiences – learning from one another. Currently, there are over one hundred members of the MTM Association. The membership fee is $100 per year. Instructions on how to become a member may be found on the website: www.mtmfoundation.org/become-a-member.

122 2016 BOOK OF REPORTS 2016 VIRGINIA BAPTIST ANNUAL

PROCEEDINGS

Proceedings 2016 Annual Meeting

Monday Evening, November 14 1. At 7 p.m. the messengers and visitors to the Annual Meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia met in the sanctuary of Bonsack Baptist Church for a concert which featured an original script by Chris Cadenhead, pastor of the Bonsack Baptist Church, entitled “A Shepherd’s Heart – Th e Ministry of a Believer” on the nature of the servant-minister and the musical selections which accompanied the script as conducted by Barry Green, minister of music at the host church, and the church’s Adult Choir accompanied by an orchestra and Handbell Choir. John Upton, executive director of the BGAV, introduced the worship period and expressed appreciation to those who participated in the concert.

Tuesday Morning, November 15 2. At 8:45 a.m. the messengers assembled and were shown a video clip on someone sharing their sense of calling. 3. Stuart Crow, fi rst vice-president, called the 193rd Annual Meeting to order. 4. Anna Perry Miller off ered the invocation. 5. Stuart Crow announced that Nancy Stanton McDaniel, president, could not be present for the meeting due to her mother’s hospitalization. He shared a message from the president in which she stated that “a piece of her heart was broken” over not being able to attend yet she assured the messengers that she was with them in her thoughts. A time of silent prayer for Nancy Stanton McDaniel and her mother was concluded by Stuart Crow. 6. Th e fi rst vice-president off ered appreciated on behalf of the messengers and offi cers for the gracious hospitality of the Bonsack Baptist Church and especially for the Monday evening musical service. He introduced the parliamentarians, Beth Cumbie Fogg and Raymond Duke, and stated that they were ready and able to assist any messenger with the proper wording of motions. 7. Rupert Rose reported on behalf of the Program Committee and called attention to their printed report (see p. 28). He moved the approval of the report as worded as well as the program as printed; and in voting, the motion was approved. 8. Fred Anderson presented the report of the Clerk in which he shared some of the historical connections of Virginia Baptists with the Roanoke Valley. He introduced his assistant, Wayne D. Hannah. Th e clerk announced that the early registration of messengers was 501. (Messengers continued to be registered and by the close of the meeting there were 654 messengers and in addition there were visitors who increased the total attendance to 949.) 9. Traci Powers presented the report of the Committee on Boards and Committees (see p. 56-61) and the following were additions not in the printed report: Program Committee, terms to expire November 2019 – Brenda Armistead (L), Harmony Grove; Mark Holland (M) St. Stephens; and Luke Smith (M) Linden Heights, Staunton. Religious Liberty Committee, terms to expire November 2019: Richard Clore (M) Orange and Tommy McDearis (M) Blacksburg. Resolutions Committee: correction that Bill Nieporte’s name should read Bill Nieporte, Sr. and Linda May should read Linda Mays. Baptist Extension Board: Robert Collins’ church is Bethlehem, Chesterfi eld; Audrey Holmes’ church is Samaria, Providence Forge; and the addition of Charles W. Tilley (L), First Baptist Church, Richmond. Traci Powers moved on behalf of the committee that the report be approved as presented

125 PROCEEDINGS and amended. Crow opened the fl oor for nominations and, hearing none, closed the nominations and, in voting, the report was adopted. 10. Crow presented the following nominations to the Committee on Boards and Committees from the president and vice-presidents: Eloise Foster (L), Glen Memorial, Farmville; Mark Jones (M), Memorial, Staunton; and Ben Th omas (M), Bethany, Fredericksburg. In voting, the motion carried. 11. Carl W. Johnson, chair of the Executive Board, presented the report of the Executive Board (see p. 32-33), calling attention to the actions of the Executive Board over the year and noting that no action was required. He referred to three recommendations (see p. 34) as regards Recommendation I: Special Observances and Emphases for 2017 with two changes – that May 7 be known as LifeSpire of Virginia Day (formerly Virginia Baptist Homes Day) and that “Consider Your Call” Sunday previously set for October 29 be deleted from the list; Recommendation II: Special Observances and Emphases for 2018; and Recommendation III: Special Off erings for 2018. He moved approval of the three recommendations; and in a time for questions or comments and hearing none, in voting they were approved. 12. Carl Johnson announced proposed amendments to the BGAV Constitution and Bylaws (see p. 35) and Darrell Foster presented and explained the proposed amendments. 1) Foster reviewed the rationale behind the amendment regarding resolutions. He shared that Carl Johnson had called a meeting of former BGAV presidents to discuss the nature and purpose of resolutions and further noted that there was a range of opinions on the subject. He explained that as a result of the discussion, these recommendations were brought forward. He noted two changes: 1) previously the only direction to the Resolutions Committee was ambiguous so additional language was needed and it directs that the resolutions “further the purpose of the General Association” and 2) moving the time for submitting resolutions from the fi rst day of the Annual Meeting to the 15th of October which would prove to benefi t the Resolutions Committee which could give more careful attention to the resolutions and to benefi t the messengers so that the resolutions could be available with the other documents at registration. 2) Foster noted that the change regarding the Committee on Scholarships concerned confl ict of interest. 3) Foster also noted that there had been confusion as to the powers of appointment of chairs of committees by the in-coming president and, therefore, it clearly was stated in the proposed amendment that the duty to appoint extends to all standing committees. Foster stated that these proposed changes will be voted upon in tomorrow’s session and would be available for discussion in a breakout session. On behalf of the Constitution/Bylaws Committee and the approval of the Executive Board, Foster moved to amend as set forth. 13. John Upton presented Resolutions of Appreciation for approval. He shared comments of appreciation for each individual so honored. A) Recommendation V: Resolution of Appreciation for Richard L. Bidwell was presented (see p. 36) and Upton noted that Dick Bidwell “created a confi dence in this body on that whole publicity process.” In voting by the body, the motion to adopt was approved and, in the absence of Dick Bidwell, the plaque denoting the resolution was received by Bob Bass. B) Recommendation VI: Resolution of Appreciation for Daniel Carro (p. 37). Stuart Crow moved approval of the resolution and in voting it was duly approved by the messengers. Th e plaque was received by Daniel Carro who was accompanied by his wife Dina. C) Recommendation VII: Resolution of Appreciation for Charles H. Chandler (p. 38). Cathy Ralcewicz, director of administration and development at Ministering to Ministers Foundation accepted the plaque of recognition in Charles Chandler’s absence.

127 PROCEEDINGS 18. John V. Upton, Jr., executive director, presented a report. He began by referring to the Book of Acts which the reference to the beginnings of the Christian “church” and proceeded to refer to the 1823 founding of the BGAV. He noted that from Acts 1 we learn that the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon all so that every person would be irreplaceable as witnesses of Jesus Christ. He added that the Holy Spirit never makes copies but only originals and, therefore, each church is an original and likewise the BGAV is an original. He continued that the second truth from Acts is that the church did not become the church until it focused beyond itself. He emphasized that it was when they turned from themselves and engaged with the world that they became the church. He reminded the messengers of the BGAV’s history, noting that in 1823 only 15 gathered but they made a commitment to honor autonomy and that they looked beyond themselves by appointing two young people, Jeremiah Bell Jeter and Daniel Witt, who started a church-planting movement. He noted that it was both a church-planting as well as a youth movement. He pictured that by 1823 the church in North America was in decline and Virginia Baptists response was to send out these fi rst two “Plowboys.” He added that, later, Virginia Baptists found that wherever the railroads planted a depot, the BGAV would start a church. He stated: “Whenever the BGAV saw a crossroads, we responded.” He emphasized that “we fi nd ourselves at another crossroads in our day and time.” He shared the Barna Group’s recent report that the fi gures of “post-Christians” in America has increased from 37% to 44% and now to 48% and asked: “What’s that mindset?” He answered his question as follows: “Don’t believe in God; disagree that faith is important; have not prayed; no commitment to Jesus and no interest in reading the Bible – this is the culture.” He enumerated some positives in the current BGAV scene including: a strong base of churches, ministers, pastors and staff ; new churches; new affi liates; emerging ministries that are growing; a clear focus on developing, sending, and planting. (see pages 71-78 for more details). Under the heading of “developing” the executive director noted the work of the congregational fi eld staff and the Spence Network, sharing that there were over 3,200 contacts in 2016, 61 pastor search committees were trained, 647 decisions in Vacation Bible School, and 20 state-wide Sunday school training events. He expressed appreciation for the BCMs which have worked with 2,000 students and with 568 in various missions. He noted the receipt of the fi rst Lilly Grant (see p. 72). At this point in his presentation, Lynn Litchfi eld of Grace Inside ministries shared a dramatic presentation on prison ministry. Upton observed “the power when we work together, put our resources together and it takes all of us working together to impact lives.” Under the category of Sending, the executive director emphasized disaster relief and a video clip was shown regarding fl ood and tornado relief off ered through Virginia Baptists. Under the category of Planting, the executive director emphasized that church planting has “exploded.” A video clip was shown of a church planter, Matthew Watson, who ministers in the Washington, D.C. area through “Th e District Church.” Upton concluded with an emphasis that “everybody is an original, nobody a copy.” He maintained that “we will trust the Spirit.” He shared that as the BGAV approaches its 200th anniversary in 2023, there is the need to request the Executive Board to constitute a committee to plan a Bicentennial celebration. He off ered a challenge: “May God fi nd us faithful.” 19. Stuart Crow shared that this was the fi nal opportunity to add new items of business and, hearing none, he noted that any resolutions should be presented in writing to the clerk prior to the evening session. He called for an intermission until 10:30 a.m. 20. Following the intermission, the session moved into a period of worship. Brass 5 and Barry Green, minister of music of Bonsack Baptist Church, led the messengers and visitors in a period of “homecoming music” including such old-time standards as “Will the Circle be Unbroken, Down by the Riverside, I’ll Fly Away and When the Saints Go Marching In.” 21. John Upton extended the call to worship and introduced the various worship participants. 22. A video was shown on Kingdom Pioneers.

128 2016 VIRGINIA BAPTIST ANNUAL 23. Vallerie F. King pronounced the invocation. 24. Worship in music continued with other old standards including “I’ve Got a Home in Glory Land.” 25. Chris Cadenhead, the host pastor, welcomed the assembly on behalf of Bonsack Baptist Church. He off ered Scripture from I Corinthians 1:18-25. In his message, Cadenhead implored that “God expects us to bring our best skills for His service.” He insisted that “the unchanged truth of the Gospel is needed” and noted that “people came from all over the world to hear Paul [and that] Paul’s words were a guide for the early believers.” He noted that Paul had a strategy: “I preach nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucifi ed”; and the preacher added that Paul’s strategy was nothing less than “the message of the cross which is what the world needs.” Th e preacher continued: “In a post-Christian world what could be more transitional than God’s people sharing the meaning of the cross!” and proclaimed it to be “the transforming power of the cross.” “Do not lose that message!” Th e preacher emphasized “the new commandment” given by Christ to love one another. “Jesus loved us and anyone who would come aft er Him must do the same. As Baptist people we need to proclaim that word.” 26. Herbert Ponder off ered the benediction.

Tuesday Evening 27. In the evening, the messengers and visitors gathered for a worship period. Th e CLC worship team of the host church led the body in music. (Th e praise band team consisted of Josh Bartley, Amy Dooley, Daryl Huddleston, Steve Janosko, Sara Kennedy, Jeff McMeans, and Scott Quirin.) 28. Gabe Lyons, the main speaker for the Annual Meeting and an author and founder of Q Ideas, “a learning community that mobilizes Christians to advance the common good in society,” presented a message. He insisted that “God is still at work” and cited various statistics to indicate the current state of our general society. He based his message primarily upon the character of Daniel, the Old Testament prophet, and quoted from the Book of Daniel. He stressed that Daniel had determined in his heart that he would not defi le himself. He urged that his listeners “cultivate virtues and character in their lives that withstand cultural pressures.” Th e fl oor was open for questions and discussion. 29. Valerie Carter gave the off ertory prayer. 30. Th e CLC worship team provided additional music. 31. Michael Pumphrey off ered the benediction.

He noted that there were no recommended resolutions from the messengers and proceeded to read the Resolution of Appreciation, as follows: Resolution of Appreciation With praise and thanksgiving to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we have gathered and in whose resurrection we live, 129 PROCEEDINGS We, the messengers of the 193rd meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, meeting at Bonsack Baptist Church, Roanoke, Virginia, November 14-16, 2016, do hereby make it known that: We express our gratitude to Bonsack Baptist Church for their gracious hospitality. We applaud all the volunteers for all they have done to facilitate this annual meeting. We give thanks to the Program Committee and commend all the program participants for their positive and inspiring contributions. We are grateful to the staff of the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) for their faithful and thoughtful preparation of this annual meeting. We cherish their continuous, committed service to the BGAV, our churches, ministers and lay people. We especially appreciate the exceptional leadership of John V. Upton, Jr., our Executive Director. We are grateful for the service and contributions of our First Vice-President, Stuart Crow; Second Vice-President Adam Tyler; Clerk, Fred Anderson; Assistant Clerk, Wayne Hannah; and Parliamentarians, Beth Fogg and Ray Duke. We appreciate the dedicated leadership of our President, Nancy Stanton McDaniel And her faithful service to Virginia Baptists. Finally, we, the Baptist General Association of Virginia, commit to work together in obedience to the One who is, was, and is to come! In voting, the Resolution of Appreciation was duly approved. 37. (Attention was called to the amended resolution off ered by the BGAV Religious Liberty Committee as distributed in the Daily Bulletin.) Ellis West, chairman of the BGAV Religious Liberty Committee, expressed his honor in chairing the committee especially since Virginia Baptists have made important contributions to the cause of religious liberty including the securing of the First Amendment. He expressed appreciation to the members of the committee. On behalf of the committee, West withdrew the original motion as printed in the Book of Reports and substituted an amended resolution as printed in the Daily Bulletin and moved its adoption. He spoke to the substitute resolution. He noted that the committee’s report (see p. 65) indicated that early in the year the committee decided unanimously that the aff ronts to religious liberty in the United States as far as American Muslims were concerned needed to be addressed. He noted that the resolution was adopted by the committee more than a month ago and explained that, however, the committee felt that some might misconstrue some of the language in the original resolution as being political in nature and emphasized that such an assumption was not the intent of the committee. He called attention to the fact that the committee fully realized that the Annual Meeting would be held aft er the national election. He maintained that religious liberty was above politics so in that spirit and understanding, the committee reviewed the original resolution and removed some of the language that might be misconstrued and, along with a few editorial changes and the interest of brevity, submitted the following: Amended Religious Liberty Committee Resolution Whereas we believe that all persons regardless of their religion or lack thereof should have religious freedom, provided they do not exercise it in a way that violates valid civil law or the rights of others; Whereas we believe in practicing the Golden Rule, whereby persons should do unto others as they would have others do unto them; Whereas we do not believe in guilt by association, but rather in judging persons on the basis of their individual beliefs and actions; Whereas the religious freedom of Americans depends not just on constitutional restraints

130 2016 VIRGINIA BAPTIST ANNUAL on the government, but on the willingness of individual Americans to understand and respect each other’s religious beliefs and practices; Whereas some voices advocate that American Muslims be denied their religious freedom on the alleged ground that they want the government to establish Islam and deny non- Muslims their religious freedom; Whereas some voices call for laws that would prevent refugees, immigrants, and even visitors from entering the United States, solely because they are Muslims; Whereas recently American Muslims, solely on account of their religion, have been increasingly subjected to abusive and hate-fi lled remarks and to bullying, violence, vandalism, and other hate-crimes; Whereas some local governments, including some in Virginia, have made it diffi cult, if not impossible, for Muslim congregations to obtain permits to construct mosques; Whereas the overwhelming majority of American Muslims are decent, peaceful, law- abiding, and patriotic citizens who respect the moral and constitutional rights of others, including their religious liberty; Whereas the overwhelming majority of Muslims, both in America and elsewhere, are not terrorist but condemn the violence used by so-called Islamic jihadists as contrary to the tenets of their religion; Th erefore, we, the messengers to the Baptist General Association of Virginia, at its annual meeting on November 16, 2016, ask Th at all levels of American government refrain from discriminating against any group, including Muslims and refugees, on the basis of their religion; Th at our religious and political leaders characterize Islam and Muslims in a way that is fair, objective and based on how Islam is interpreted and practiced by the overwhelming majority of Muslims in this country and not just by extremists, such as ISIS; Th at Virginia Baptists, both individuals and churches, speak out against anti-Muslim rhetoric and bigotry, learn about Islam, get to know their Muslim neighbors, meet and t alk with them about their respective faiths and common concerns, such as religious liberty, and above all else show them the love of Jesus; and Th at Virginia Baptists support the passage of laws that would prohibit denying refugees, immigrants, and visitors entry into the United States on the basis of their religion.

In a time for questions, Mark Davis, Highland Church (Natural Bridge) stated that he fully believed in religious liberty for Muslims but could not agree with some of the wording in the Resolution, commenting that he does not believe that Islam is a religion that practices tolerance. Todd Blake, Madison Heights (Lynchburg) spoke in favor, quoting Jesus and the Biblical concern about being the stranger and foreigner. He cited the traditional role of the Baptists in support of “free worshippers.” He quoted Russell Moore of the SBC that soul freedom is for everybody. He concluded by stating that “we must speak in defense of religious liberty or stop being Baptists.” Riley Wilson, Fitzgerald Memorial (James River) stated that there seems to be a political aspect still involved in the wording of the Resolution and added that the religious aspects of the Muslims is not taking a stand in the public forum to condemn the jihadists and the violence. He asked, “Why are they not taking a stand to support what we are trying to do in giving them religious liberty?” Kenny Davis, Bybee’s Road Church (Central Virginia) observed that the amended version of the Resolution is not tied to political parties yet it does respond to what is realistic in a political world. He commented that it represents

131 PROCEEDINGS what Baptists look like in a world where this issue is taking place. He asked if we should wait for someone else to take the lead to practice our own Baptist principles and encouraged the passage of the Resolution. He further observed that the Resolution is more a statement about who we are more than who others are. Barrett Owen, First Church, Waynesboro (Augusta) stated his support and observed that it was out of fear that our language was too political that the committee soft ened the language so as not to off end. He commented that he saw a greater fear that we fear that Muslims’ lives do not matter. He maintained that through the Resolution we are just saying that in the case of American Muslims it is our belief that they should have religious liberty and says we see Muslims as our neighbors. He felt that this Resolution was a chance for us to rise above politics. He appealed to the messengers that the American Muslims should have no less freedom than us, adding that it was “a chance to add light in the midst of darkness.” He concluded by stating that the Resolution reminds the world that there is a voice that reminds that fear does not speak for us. Susan Lee, Ferry Farm Church (Fredericksburg) spoke against and challenged anyone to fi nd another country with greater tolerance for religious liberty than America and maintained that we already respect the religions of all people in our country. In a time for voting, at fi rst there was an attempt by raising ballots and the presiding offi cer ruled to employ the tellers for counting. Th e result was 215 in favor, 59 opposed and the Resolution passed. 38. Business turned to adoption of the proposed changes to the BGAV Constitution and Bylaws as previously presented. Darrell Foster reminded the messengers of the motion (see p. 35) for adoption. In a time for questions, and hearing none, in voting, the motion carried and the changes were approved. 39.

Gabe Lyons presented a message based upon Daniel 6 and the prophet giving the interpretation of a dream to the king. Th e guest speaker maintained that Daniel had been elected third in the kingdom because God had a plan. He noted that the people around Daniel were jealous because this Hebrew had power and they started to scheme to “take him out.” He stressed Daniel 6:10: “Daniel prayed ‘as was his custom.’” He reminded the messengers and visitors of the story of Daniel in the lion’s den and stated: “Our confi dence comes from God’s Word. Courage begets courage.” Th e speaker emphasized Daniel 6:20, noting that God’s reputation preceded itself and even the king had faith as shown in his recognizing God’s supernatural power. Th e speaker noted that “we are confounded by God’s work.” “Th e only thing we know about history is that God’s truth remains. God moves the hearts of people in His time and His way.” Th e speaker shared that “revival breaks out just as the culture appears to have full sway yet it is in those moments when God has His sway fi rst in the hearts of people and then in the general culture. Quoting Andrew Murray, Lyons stated that “it needs to begin with a great revival of prayer.” Lyons asked that the audience consider if there are any places in which they need repentance and realize that God wants to work through you. He asked: “Are we leading our churches in such a way that people are understanding the supernatural power of God.” Lyons expressed his belief that “the American church would soon get back to the basics of trusting in God for the outcome.” He also observed that “in our churches we have a business mindset in trying to judge success.” He closed his message with prayer. 48. John Upton expressed appreciation for the individuals who “carried the heavy load” in the Bonsack Church’s hosting of the BGAV. 49. John Upton and Adam Tyler presided over the serving of Communion.

He was predeceased by his parents, all of his siblings, and his wife. Soon aft er graduating from high school in Roebuck, he was draft ed into the Army where he served for 31 months from June 17, 1943–March 8, 1946, in the South Pacifi c.

He took his calling to the ministry seriously, gaining his bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest University and earning his master of divinity at Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, KY. At the seminary, he met Mary Elizabeth Richards, who became his wife and mother to their children. Together, they served at churches in Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Virginia, including Ridge Baptist Church in Richmond, Berea Baptist Church in Rockville, and Beale Memorial Baptist Church in Tappahannock. He valued his commitment to minister to his congregation through times of grief and happiness, offi ciating at funerals, weddings, and baptisms, visiting people in hospital rooms and at their homes, in urban settings and rural. On many occasions, he would take his children with him visiting, modeling his concern for others and his friendly, generous, and easy-going manner with people from all diff erent walks of life. He continued to enjoy visits with family and friends throughout his life, inquiring of their physical and spiritual health and well-being. He also valued the chance to preach to members of his congregation, focusing on the celebration of the gospel message and the route to godly living, spending much time in the study of biblical texts and spiritual books to prepare his sermons. Music was also important, whether in using his gift s as a tenor in singing hymns or listening to classical music, frequently providing the background sound in his study and home. Even in his waning years, he remained generous, good-hearted, kind, and well-meaning to those he came in contact with—whether family, friends, or strangers. His wife preceded him in death in 1984, but Rev. Tobey is survived by their three children: Margaret Tobey Taliaferro of Center Cross, VA; Manley “Chip” Tobey III of Tappahannock, VA; and Mary Ann “Annie” Tobey of Richmond, VA.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Baptist General Association of Virginia (“BGAV”), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Activities: Baptist General Association of Virginia (“BGAV”) 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. BGAV changed its name during 2015, and was formerly known as Virginia Baptist Mission Board.

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”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). 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 BGAV'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 BGAV, 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 BGAV. Operating Fund also includes the activities of Eagle Eyrie and Piankatank Camp and Conference Centers.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

Fund Accounting, Continued:

Board Designated Reserve Funds - Board Designated Reserve Funds represent amounts designated by the appropriate committee or working group within BGAV for specific purposes. These are unrestricted funds that have been designated for future use and pledges receivable with temporary time restrictions.

Restricted Reserve Funds - Restricted Reserve Funds reflect monies received from donors that are expendable by BGAV 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 BGAV's investment in property and equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, BGAV 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 twelve 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, 2016, all amounts are invested with the Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc., and are part of its diversified investment pool.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject BGAV to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and investments. Cash and securities are invested with several institutions and the management of BGAV 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. BGAV has cash deposits in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the federal government.

Bond Issuance Costs: Bond issuance costs represent costs associated with the issuance of bonds (see Note 8). BGAV has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 Interest – Imputation of Interest, which requires debt issuance costs to be reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the related debt instrument. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related borrowings by a method that approximates the effective interest method. Amortization amounted to $4,308 for 2016 and is expected to be fully amortized in 2017 in connection with the bond being paid in full (see Note 8). Net bond issuance costs are included as a component of bond payable on the accompanying statement of financial position.

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 $23,815 for 2016 and is included in camps and conference centers expense in the accompanying statement of activities.

Income Taxes: BGAV 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 FASB guidance surrounding uncertain income tax positions and concluded that BGAV has no significant financial statement exposure to uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2016. Management has determined that BGAV is not required to file an informational return (Form 990) based on its religious affiliation. BGAV is not currently under audit by any tax jurisdiction.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

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, specifically the reclassification of activity and accounts associated with Eagle Eyrie and Piankatank Camp to the Operating Fund.

Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through June 28, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the payoff of the bond as disclosed in Note 8, there are no other subsequent events to be reported in the accompanying financial statements.

2. Employee Receivables:

BGAV makes second mortgage and signatory loans to employees. These loans are made from restricted donor funds for this specific purpose. The loans bear interest at 5.0% and are amortized over a period of 15 to 20 years. The second mortgage notes are collateralized by deeds of trust. At December 31, 2016, there were twenty-two loans outstanding. Maturities of the employee receivables are as follows for future years ending December 31:

Year Amount

2017$ 14,882 2018 15,225 2019 12,450 2020 10,742 2021 9,431 Thereafter 45,510 108,240 Less - current portion (14,882)

Unrealized Cost Loss Market Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc. (see Note 6) $ 10,068,232 $ (345,008) $ 9,723,224

4. Beneficial Interest in Trusts:

BGAV has beneficial interests in thirty-two split-interest agreements in the form of perpetual trusts. The contribution portion of a trust is recognized as revenue when BGAV has the unconditional right to receive benefits under the agreement and is measured at the fair value on that date. During the term of the agreement, any changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of activities as gain or loss on beneficial interest in perpetual trusts.

BGAV is the beneficiary of various other trusts. There is not enough information available to value these interests. Annual receipts are included in donations income.

5. Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment at December 31, 2016 consisted of the following:

6. Fair Value Measurements:

The FASB established a framework for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

x Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; x Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; x Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; x Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

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.

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, 2016.

Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc.: Valued on the basis of the net asset value of units held by BGAV at year-end.

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 BGAV 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.

BGAV did not have any Level 1 or 2 assets at December 31, 2016. The following table includes the assets at fair value that qualify as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2016:

Virginia Baptist Foundation, Inc.: Money market $ 179,970 Certificates of deposit 586,223 Equity portfolio 5,197,965 Real estate 231,144 Fixed income portfolio 3,527,922 Beneficial interest in perpetual trusts 7,183,551

6. Fair Value Measurements, Continued:

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of Level 3 assets for 2016:

Virginia Baptist Beneficial Interest in Foundation, Inc. Perpetual Trusts Balance, January 1, 2016$ 8,741,474 $ 6,717,802

Realized gains 42,233 - Unrealized gains 253,645 465,749 Investment income, net 173,635 - Purchases 765,729 - Sales (253,492) - Net change for the year 981,750 465,749

Balance, December 31, 2016$ 9,723,224 $ 7,183,551

Amounts invested with the Virginia Baptist Foundation are held in multiple accounts based on specific naming criteria of BGAV, which primarily correlates to individual project funds within BGAV. For each account, there is an executed management agreement outlining the chosen investment guidelines for the account. The Foundation generally provides three investment portfolio alternatives: equity, balanced, and fixed income. The BGAV 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. Unexpended Alma Hunt Offering for State Missions:

BGAV administers the funds from its churches for the Alma Hunt Offering for State Missions. Contributions that are received are accumulated during the year and distributed in the same or following year. Receipts for outside organizations are not recognized by BGAV as support but are reflected as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position.

8. Bond Payable - Net:

In November 2008, BGAV issued a Fixed Rate Tax Exempt Revenue Bond through a private placement with Eastern Virginia Bank in the aggregate principal amount of $3,500,000. The bond was used to finance BGAV's construction costs of renovating and expanding Camp Piankatank. Monthly payments of $12,039, including 4.167% interest, are due until November 2021. The outstanding principal balance on the bond is presented net of bond issuance costs. Estimated minimum bond principal payments are as follows for subsequent years ending December 31:

Year Ending Bond Bond Issuance December 31 Payable Costs Net

2017$ 120,027 $ (4,308) $ 115,719 2018 125,125 (4,308) 120,817 2019 130,439 (4,308) 126,131 2020 135,980 (4,308) 131,672 2021 129,716 (4,120) 125,596

$ 641,287 $ (21,352) $ 619,935

Subsequent to year end, the full amount of the bond payable was paid off in full. Therefore, the balance at December 31, 2016 is listed as current on the accompanying 2016 statement of financial position.

9. Endowment Funds:

BGAV's endowment consists of six individual funds held in the Special Funds group, which are donor restricted endowment funds and one fund held in the Board Designated Reserve Funds group, which is a board designated endowment fund. These funds were established for a variety of purposes. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with these endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

At December 31, 2016, the endowment net asset composition by type of fund was as follows:

Temporarily Permanently Unrestricted Restricted Restricted Total

Donor-restricted endowments$ - $ 102,544 $ 255,946 $ 358,490 Board-designated endowments 4,043,618 - - 4,043,618

$ 4,043,618 $ 102,544 $ 255,946 $ 4,402,108

18

238 2016 VIRGINIA BAPTIST ANNUAL BAPTIST GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

9. Endowment Funds, Continued:

The management of donor-restricted endowment funds is governed by state law under the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMlFA) as adopted by the Virginia state legislature in 2008. 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, BGAV 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.

BGAV appropriates amounts for expenditure based upon accumulated earnings in the funds and the needs of the organization. The primary objective is long-term capital appreciation and total return. BGAV utilizes diversified investment classes that provide the opportunity to achieve the return objectives without exposing the funds to unnecessary risk.

A summary of the endowment fund activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 is as follows:

Temporarily Permanently Unrestricted Restricted Restricted Total

Balance, January 1, 2016$ 1,961,763 $ 88,873 $ 255,946 $ 2,306,582

Investment return: Investment income 112,300 6,959 - 119,259 Net realized and unrealized gain 168,604 7,792 - 176,396 Investment fees (16,992) (1,080) - (18,072) Board designated transfers 1,404,660 - - 1,404,660 Designations 413,283 - - 413,283 Net change for the year 2,081,855 13,671 - 2,095,526

11. Related Party Transactions:

BGAV leases portions of its buildings to certain of its various agencies. The leases expire on various dates through December 31, 2017, and expected annual rental income from these leases is $110,905. Receipts from these agencies are shown as rental income in the accompanying statement of activities and amounted to $121,229 for 2016.

BGAV has a loan payable to the Baptist Extension Board for capital improvements at Camp Piankatank. The loan required 36 interest-only payments at a rate of 4.25%, then 180 payments of principal and interest at the same rate, which began in March 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the loan balance was $159,078.

12. Retirement Plan:

BGAV participates in the Southern Baptist Convention Annuity Plan, an Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) defined contribution retirement plan, administered by GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. The plan covers all full-time salaried BGAV employees. The plan provides for contributions up to 15% of compensation. BGAV also provides a one-time gratuity payment to retiring employees, according to a predetermined formula. Total pension and related administrative costs paid by BGAV were $398,067 in 2016, of which $357,721 is included in business services expense and $40,346 is included in camps and conference centers expense in the accompanying statement of activities.

13. Post Retirement Health Care Plan:

BGAV sponsors a defined benefit postretirement health care plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all employees with an employment date prior to July 1, 1994. BGAV provides certain post-employment supplemental retirement pay and life and health insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. Employees become eligible for the benefits upon reaching age 55. The Plan is noncontributory. In 2007, accounting standards were implemented by BGAV 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, BGAV 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.

The following sets forth the change in the benefit obligation, plan assets and funded status of the Plan and the amounts recognized in BGAV’s statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016 using the measurement date of December 31, 2016 (the most recent actuarial data available):

Change in benefit obligation: Projected benefit obligation, beginning of year$ 4,252,544 Service cost 66,138 Interest cost 163,198 Change in assumptions 76,681 Benefits paid (199,259) Projected benefit obligation, end of year 4,359,302 Change in plan assets: Fair value of assets, beginning of year - Employer contributions 199,259 Benefits paid (199,259) Fair value of assets, end of year -

14. Commitments and Contingencies:

BGAV leases equipment and rental space under several non-cancelable operating leases with terms ending through 2019. Estimated minimum payments under these leases are as follows for subsequent years ending December 31:

Year Amount

2017$ 71,732 2018 21,568 2019 1,722

$ 95,022

Rental expense was $75,248 for 2016.

The Eagle Eyrie Conference Center leases 14 lots to its members for the construction of lodges. These leases run through 2030 at an annual rental of $700. The members are assessed for the costs of operation and maintenance of these lodges. BGAV has the right to sub-lease the lodges when the member is not using them and 50% of the rent received is paid to the member. Rent received is recorded with camps and conference centers operating revenues and rent paid to members, amounting to $85,286 for 2016, is included in camp and conference centers expense.

From time to time, BGAV may be involved in claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on BGAV’s financial position or results of activities.

15. Prior Period Adjustment:

During 2016, the Organization discovered certain asset and liability balances were understated or overstated, respectively, in conjunction with advancing its accounting policies and practices. As a result, a prior period adjustment was made to increase net assets as of January 1, 2016 by $249,507, or from as originally stated of $20,816,665 to $21,066,172.

16. New Accounting Guidance:

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-14, “Not-For-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-For-Profit Entities”, which both simplifies certain aspects of reporting required by not-for-profit organizations and increases disclosures with a goal to improve the usefulness of not-for-profit financial statements to the various stakeholders, including management, directors, lenders, and donors. Significant changes include the following:

x Replaces the existing three classes of net assets (unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted) with two new classes of net assets—net assets with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions

x Changes the net asset classification of the underwater amounts of donor-restricted endowment funds to be shown as a component of net assets with donor restrictions and requires additional disclosures for underwater endowment funds

x Requires all not-for-profits to provide expenses by nature and function

x Requires expansive disclosures (both quantitative and qualitative) of information about liquidity and availability of resources

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. BGAV has elected not to early adopt this ASU and intends to adopt it prior to the required transition date.

ACP COMPILATIONS Explanation of the Annual Church Profi le (ACP)

Th e Annual Church Profi le (ACP) is a process of collecting data from our churches that seeks to preserve Virginia Baptist history while collecting data on our ministries. 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. Th ose churches are designated with a red asterisk in the following pages, 260-298. Also to note, statistics for multi-site churches are included in the data of the original campus.
