You may be interested in the
communion cups we will using
during our Saturday morning
worship. They allow the juice
and bread to be passed simulta-
neously, and this years worship
planning team felt this would be
helpful in our communion ser-
vice. The cups are reusable, and
the CBFNC staff is planning on
using them often over the coming
years for future worship services
and retreats. If you are interested
in these unique cups for your
church, they are available for
order from Carolina Christian
Supply in Winston-Salem,

Who are all the youth
at the General Assembly
and what are they doing?
They are participating in
General Assembly
Youth Edition
Theyre diving into Reconciliation
divorce, culture, homelessness, the justice
system, the HIV/aIDS epidemic, bullies,
immigration, and race.
Their weekend is packed with great topical
studies and worship services.
The 2012 General Assembly offering
our CBFNC churches ministering in Belize
have made a decision to do something big
together ... something for the kingdom of
God ... something they could not accomplish
alone. a bare bones structure in Santa elena
will be transformed into a much-needed
school for Spanish, Mayan and Creole
students. The structure will also serve as
a hurricane shelter and community center.
Please join this effort to make a meaningful
difference in a needy area!

there clues from the history of the Church that might help us engage in worship that reconciles rather than divides us?

Hymn No. 589 Here I Am, Lord HeRe I aM LoRD
offertory Prayer Linda Jones
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many,
are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body
Jews or Greeks, slaves or freeand we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, Because I am not a hand,
I do not belong to the body, that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear were to say,
Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, that would not make it any less a part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would
the sense of smell be? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.
If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many members, yet one body. The eye
cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. On the
contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those members of the body that we
think less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect;
whereas our more respectable members do not need this. But God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor
to the inferior member, that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for
one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church frst apostles,
second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership,

various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

A Missional Event to Empower Churches
May 18-19, 2012
Providence Baptist Church, Charlotte
Sponsored by Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina,
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, The Columbia Partnership, and
Center for Congregational Health.
Equipping Churches for Impacting Tomorrow ...
In october 2010, CBFNC, in partnership with several other organizations
(CBF National, Columbia Partnership, Center for Congregational Health),
conducted Hopeful Imagination, a new kind of conference for church leaders,
in which the primary resource persons came from one teaching church,
First, Wilmington. That conference was a dream come true, borne out of our
conviction that in the 21st century, the real experts for resourcing congrega-
tions reside not in a denominational offce but in sister congregations.

Well take a similar but expanded approach May 18-19, 2012, as we gather at
Providence Baptist Church in Charlotte for Impacting Tomorrow: Traditional
Churches Finding Their Future in Gods Story. Complete information
about the conference and registration details can be found on our website:
www.cbfnc.org.

Here are some of the conference highlights:
n Celebrating the Power of Story - Mike Queen (retired pastor of First,
Wilmington) will interview fve churches that implemented and beneftted
from lessons learned at Hopeful Imagination.
nCongregational Case Studies Several congregations will lead work-
shops telling their unique stories of transformation and how they began and
are progressing on missional journeys of renewal and revitalization.
nTeam Time Participants of Hopeful Imagination who found the experi-
ence to be most powerful brought multiple leaders from their church, both
clergy and laity, to process their learning and plan next steps for their
congregations. Impacting Tomorrow will have this kind of team meeting
experience built into the schedule.

The Worship of God
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina
Saturday, March 24, 2012, 11:15 a.m.
Special Instructions: During worship on Friday evening, worship participants were instructed as to action Steps for
Reconciliation and Praying for Reconciliation (on cards distributed at registration). If you did not receive a card or
would like to review steps and pray for the community prior to Saturday morning Holy Communion, please see the
information below.

Action Steps for Reconciliation
Confess your faults one to another. James 5:16
Jesus teaches that confession is necessary in preparing to gather for worship (Matt. 6:24-25).
Complete these steps that lead to reconciliation and join this fellowship for Holy Communion on Saturday morning.
1. ask forgiveness of others for wrongs you have committed.
2. ask forgiveness of God for specifc sins which are only known by God.
3. Prepare for Communion with prayers, encouraging words and joy.
Confession as a routine duty is spiritual death; confession in reliance upon the promise is life. The forgiveness of
sins is the sole ground and goal of confession. Life Together, Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Based on action steps for recon-
ciliation from Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pages 120-122.)

Praying for Reconciliation
Prayer in community should be the prayer of the fellowship and not only the prayer of the individual praying. There-
fore, it is our responsibility to pray for the fellowship - to share the daily life of the fellowship; know the cares, needs,
joys, thanksgivings, petitions, and hopes of the others. We are called to pray as brothers and sisters for our brothers
and sisters. (adapted from Life Together, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, p. 63.)

You received a prayer request card at registration During Friday evening worship, you were asked to write a
prayer request on the card and then return the card to ushers as you exited worship On Saturday morning,
prayer cards will be distributed randomly to worship participants as you enter worship You will not receive
your card but the card of another for the praying for reconciliation

O God, we pray for unity, Give guidance from above,
In our differences unite us in the circle of your love.
O God, remind us we are not alone. Though we move on diff rent pathways,
We are walking to your throne.
Take our many ways of working, Blend the colors of each soul into the beauty of a rainbow,
Give us life, Lord, Make us whole.
Scripture John 17:20-26
Message In Search of Communion Neville Callam
Celebration of Communion
Now is the time for us to participate in the Lords Supper. Jesus our Lord invites us to this altar, His table, to remem-
ber Him and re-member Him His life-giving ministry and the new covenant sealed in His blood. We participate in
this Holy Communion as one body, a true fellowship, each offering our brothers and sisters beside us the body and
the blood of Jesus. We will be served the bread and the cup together by members of the CBF family who will say in
their native language as they serve Christs gift for you and me that we might be one. As you receive from them
and pass to your neighbor, you will say the same in your native language. We will hold the cup and bread until we
can all eat and drink together, in unison - as one body.

2011-2012 Ministry Highlights
Missions
Local Mission Engagement Grants
a new initiative was started to award grants to churches who
are doing innovative, creative ministry with an outside part-
ner organization and other partnering churches. This year 10
churches received grants, and the ministries were each unique
to their churchs context. applications for 2012-2013 Local
Mission engagement Grants will be available on april 1.
New Church Starts
Seven Hispanic and three anglo new church starts receive
fnancial support. Three more are in the process of partnering
with us. CBF national and CBFNC are collaborating together
in a process of training, evaluating and approving new church
starts. a New Church Start academy was successfully held
in collaboration with Campbell University Divinity School. a
second one with Campbell is being planned for this summer.
Hispanic Ministry
Pastor Javier
Benitez continues
as Leader/Coach
for the Hispanic
new church starts
and is actively
creating new
Hispanic churches.
He is also work-
ing with Hispanic
leaders in other
states to create an
east Coast network
of Hispanic churches and ministries. Companerismo Cristiano
emanuel held successful retreats for families, men, women, youth
and children this past year.
CBF Global Missions Partnership Ministries
CBFNC churches continue to be involved with CBF feld
personnel and their ministries worldwide. North Carolina
personnel with active ministries inside the state include:
LaCount and anna anderson in northeast North Carolina; Ce-
celia Beck in Shelby; and Fran and Mike Graham in asheville.
a new collaboration with Chaouki and Maha Boulos will bring
a team to Cairo, egypt, in october. The team will be partici-
pating in the evangelism Celebration and leading a womens
conference. This past year, a team of pastors and lay mission
leaders traveled to Beirut for the evangelism Celebration and
visited White Wings Retreat Center. The frst stage of building
is fnished, but much more work needs to be done.
our CBFNC covenant agreement continues with the Village
of Hope in Ukraine. Gennady and Mina Podgaisky are hosting
teams. While our major construction is fnished, other major
renovation projects and creative ministry with women and chil-
dren continue to be encouraged. This past year, a dental clinic
was held along with Vacation Bible School at Bucha Church.
Pastors and lay leaders continue to teach at the Belize Baptist
School of Belize. The school meets for a week three times a
year at the Baptist
Training Center in
Camalote. Dr. Bob
Lamb has passed
the mantle of being
the director to Rev.
Susan Pasour, pas-
tor of Mount adar,
Mebane.
In addition, CBFNC
churches have
built meaningful
relationships with
Belize Baptist churches. Together, they have worked side by
side renovating, building, and leading Vacation Bible School
and Backyard Bible Clubs. a new endeavor is happening with
many CBFNC churches joining together to build Santa elena
Primary School. This school will meet the needs of Spanish,
Mayan and Creole children attending overcrowded schools and
will also function as a community center and hurricane shelter.

Divinity School Orientation
In an effort to provide a CBFNC presence on the campuses of our partner
divinity schools, the Leadership Development Coordinator participated in
orientations at Campbell, Gardner-Webb and Wake Forest in Fall 2011.
Elevating Preaching Conference
Co-sponsored by CBFNC and Campbell Divinity School, the elevating
Preaching Conference was held on Monday, September 26, 2011. over 120
people participated in the event that featured Carolyn ann Knight of atlanta,
Georgia, Chuck Poole of Jackson, Mississippi, and Bill Shiell of Knoxville,
Tennessee. Personal interest groups focused on the following topics: plan-
ning preaching, preaching resources, preaching with no notes, preaching
with power point in the pulpit and conversations with guest preachers. The
conference will become an annual event, rotating among partner schools.
Peer Learning Groups
Peer Learning Groups meet monthly to provide opportunities for worship,
spiritual growth, Bible study, discussion of ministry-related issues, and fel-
lowship. There are 24 peer learning groups in North Carolina. These groups
of 6-12 members each are sponsored by CBF and/or CBFNC. Funding for
peer learning groups is offered through an annual application process with
CBF National and CBFNC.
Young Leaders Training
CBFNC and the Center for Congregational Health partnered to sponsor and
lead three sessions of Young Leaders Training. Involved in these sessions are
seven young ministers who are in their frst several years of ministry experi-
ence in the local church plus three faculty representing CBFNC, CCH and a
local pastor, plus one retired pastor who serves as minister in residence.

Coach Training/Certifcation
We have now trained 20 CBFNC coaches, provided coaching services to
CBFNC pastors/staff during 2011. additional training opportunities will
be offered in 2012-2013.
Deacon Training
Deacon/Spouse Training experiences were held in 2011 around the theme
Growing Churches in Challenging Times with over 250 participants from
approximately 30 CBFNC churches. Two similar training events are sched-
uled for 2012: oakmont, Greenville, on March 10, 2012, and a new topic
Recovering Hope for the Church at Mission, Locust on September 22, 2012.
Churches and Ministers
in Transition
Ongoing ministries include:
assisted approximately 72 ministers each
quarter to help them discern when it is time to
move into a new ministry position or to stay
where they are.
assisted approximately 34 search committees
each quarter in seeking either a staff minister
or pastor.
Provided emotional and fnancial assistance
to seven ministers who suffered forced termi-
nation of employment from their churches.
Conducted two Welcome to NC events for
ministers new to our state or recent seminary
graduates serving their frst full-time congre-
gational position. Thirty-two ministers plus
spouses participated.
New ministries include:
added a coaching dimension with our work
with search committees to not only help them
develop a search process and provide them
with the resumes of appropriate ministers, but
to meet with them more frequently and coach
them through their search process. Three
congregations have utilized this service, with
more to come in 2012-2013.
offering coaching services to pastors in their
frst post-seminary call for the six months to a
year of his/her new ministry.
established eight regional networks state-
wide and enlisted a volunteer coordinator
whose responsibilities are to encourage and
connect with the ministers and churches
in their region and then to network them
together as the need for resources, etc.,
surface. This networking is the present and
future paradigm for our life together. These
regional coordinators will also assist minis-
ters and congregations in transition.

Collegiate Ministry
CBFNC Collegiate Ministry on Campus
This year CBFNC hired three part-time campus ministers
for Cooperative Student Fellowships at three state schools.
ashley Mangrum is the campus minister at UNC; Lawrence
Powers is at eCU and Nathan Willard is serving at WCU.
CBFNC has also helped place interns on some of the
historically Baptist campuses. Their role is to help connect
those students with the ministry opportunities offered by
CBFNC and CBF.
Congregational Collegiate Internships
This was the second year of a three-year Lilly grant that pro-
vides stipends, orientation and debriefng for college students
who are interested in discovering more about the ministry of
the church. This is a national project, but NC churches have
been strong supporters of this initiative with 31 churches host-
ing interns this past summer. Wingate University has partnered
with us to provide the orientation for the students.
exit interviews have shown that about 40% of the students
who participated are considering ministry as a calling, but the
vast majority said that the internships gave them a much bet-
ter perspective on the value of congregational ministry.
CBFNC Collegiate Internships
CBFNC also provides some funds for internships with a wider
perspective on ministry. We funded interns who worked with
childrens ministry, college ministry and community ministry.
Missional Formation Communities
CBFNC is exploring ways to minister to young adults who are
in our congregations and beyond our walls. We have helped to
foster two community groups in the western part of the state
that are working to minister to this population.
Retreats
CBFNC sponsored the fourth Mid-Winter
Retreat for college students. More than 50
students and leaders attended the retreat at
Camp Mundo Vista.
Tampa Sessions was the collegiate
missional experience that brought students
from across the U.S. to Tampa during the
CBF General assembly. The students came
three days before the General assembly and
talked about immigration issues, attended
the Baptist Joint Committee lunch and
participated in many other components of
the CBF General assembly.
a fall retreat took place at Blue Ridge
assembly that was hosted by the Clemson
and Winthrop Cooperative Student Fellow-
ship groups. They invited all student groups
in the southeast. CBFNC had students from
four campuses that attended.
Christian Social Ministries
Racial Reconciliation
The Racial Reconciliation Ministry team held a day-long
workshop at First, asheville, which was well and diversely
attended. The Ministry Team has also been conducting
listening sessions at partner divinity schools to hear students
perspectives and discover how we can be an active resource
to graduates.
Gospel Without Borders, The Baptist Center for ethics
documentary co-sponsored by CBFNC, was screened around
the state at First, Greensboro; Providence, Charlotte; and
First, Raleigh. CBFNC then sent this resource to all partner
churches, colleges, and divinity schools. The documentary is
a non-partisan, biblically based flm about immigration, which
includes the story of CBFNC pastor, Hector Villanueva, who
faced deportation. Hector was granted a cancellation of depor-
tation after the CBFNC network organized character reference
letters and packed the courtroom as a show of support.
Hunger Fund
The CBFNC Hunger Fund
continues to give grants to
churches and non-profts
addressing food insecurity
issues in our state. Since
its inception in 2009, funds
have been distributed to
Brunswick Islands,
Supply; Hominy, Candler;
open arms Fellowship,
Creedmoor; St. Johns,
Charlotte; Gates emergency
Ministries, Gatesville; The
Memorial, Greenville; City

Faith Formation and Church Resources
From Events to Experiences
The Faith Formation Ministry Council is responsible for many
retreats, conferences and workshops. a challenge this year has
been to begin moving these events to experiences. For example,
before the Children Mission Days, those who registered received
a pre-retreat study that encouraged children to create a microenter-
prise business. The monies they raised would go to buy mosquito
nets for Kenyan children and gift cards for afghan refugees now
living in California. During the retreat, the children got to meet
and hear the stories from CBF missionaries who led those minis-
tries. Those who participated in the microenterprise venture were
interviewed on video. The video was shown as part of that days
worship service. a handout was given to all of the children with
suggestions of other ways they could make a difference in their
own communities. The offering from the childrens microenter-
prise efforts totaled over $4,000. We are transitioning deliberately
but steadily to transform events into experiences.
Retreats
In addition to the two Childrens Mission Days, CBFNC
hosted fve youth retreats, two choir festivals, an adult
retreat, and a staff ministers retreat. More than 100
workshops of interest to adults were offered this year
as part of the General assembly and Fellowship on the
Move gatherings across the state. The CBFNC staff led
several training events for local churches through the
year, including deacon retreats, missional understand-
ing, spirituality retreats, Sunday School teacher training
and evangelism training.
Resource Library
CBFNC is developing a new virtual resource library,
housed on the website, that is being unveiled at this years
General assembly. Resources for all areas of church life and
ministry are being identifed from a variety of sources, including
original resources shared by local church leaders.
Bible Study
This year, CBFNC strengthened our partnership with Baptists
Today by providing a signifcant portion of Rick Jordans time
to write the online teachers guides for Nurturing Faith, a new
Sunday School/Bible Study curriculum.

Congregational Coaching
Finding and embracing Your Churchs Future: a Coach approach
to Strategy Planning was conducted in fve CBFNC churches in
2011-2012 and four are planned for 2012-2013. This three- to fve-
month process is designed to help churches discern Gods leading
for their future, explore their options, make realistic plans, broaden
their leadership base and create partnerships in their community to
move the church forward in missional ministry.
Church Administration Resources
In May, CBFNC sponsored the conference, Governance and
Ministry for the Missional Church, led by Dan Hotchkiss of the
alban Institute.
CBFNC also consulted with 50 churches during this time period
with administrative needs related to personnel, fnance, and tax
and legal issues.
Growth and Development of our Fellowship
Partner Congregations
CBFNC welcomed 9 new partner congregations to our fel-
lowship. Currently, a total of 365 churches provide fnancial
support for state and/or national CBF ministries.
Financial Report
CBFNC issued an Offering for Global Missions Challenge and
offered to match dollar for dollar, up to $100,000, all gifts from
North Carolinians to the CBF offering for Global Missions,
given between our state general assembly in March and the
National General assembly in June. The challenge was
exceeded, and Larry Hovis presented a check for $100,000 on
behalf of CBFNC to Rob Nash, CBF Coordinator for Global
Missions, at the national assembly in Tampa.
In spite of lingering effects of the recession, fnancial support
of CBFNC remains strong, with both undesignated and desig-
nated giving for 2011-2012
trailing the previous year
only slightly, making it the
second highest year in our
history for fnancial support.
Staff Growth
Kathy Gore Chappell
joined the CBFNC staff as
Coordinator. She came
from the staff of Baptist
Theological Seminary in
Richmond, followed by
service in several North
Carolina churches, includ-
ing First, asheville; First, Cary; and Forest Hills, Raleigh.
General Assembly
our annual General assembly was held at First, asheville,
with 1,100 persons in attendance. The theme was The Heart
of Jesus: Living Justice and Mercy. David Gushee, professor
at Mcafee School of Theology, and Nancy Hastings Sehested,
asheville pastor and prison chaplain, served as preachers for
the worship services.
Fellowship on the Move
over 225 Hispanics, african-americans, and anglos gathered at
Mt. olive Missionary Baptist Church in Fayetteville for a worship
service, topical workshops, a fellowship meal, and a regional
organizing meeting where attendees, grouped by counties, shared
concerns, elected a facilitator and voted to move forward on issues
facing their communities. Issues raised include joblessness,
veterans issues, education, racial profling and immigration.
at Flat Rock, Mount airy, members of 16 local churches
gathered for a fellowship meal, ministry workshops on a
variety of topics and worship featuring musical talent from
several churches.
First, Sylva, hosted a joint meeting of the Western North Caro-
lina Baptist Fellowship (WNCBF) and CBFNC which included
a meal, ministry workshops and worship with Hector Villenue-
va bringing the sermon.
