Free Together “For Freedom Christ has set us free.” (Galatians 5:1)

introduced at the Annual Gathering and is being developed into a curriculum resource for churches. •

“And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together…but encouraging one another.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

C

hristians often assume freedom and community pull in opposite directions. Yet throughout Scripture, God calls people into freedom not for isolation, but for shared mission. North Carolina Cooperative Baptists have long cherished freedom in Christ. We have also discovered that freedom finds its fullest expression when we choose to serve alongside one another. We know instinctively that Christian faith cannot be lived in isolation. We need not only the community we experience in local churches, but also expressions and organizations beyond the local church, such as CBFNC. We are better together. Freedom produces diversity and diversity enriches our fellowship. Yet living in community also requires humility, patience and a willingness to focus our shared energy on the ministries that unite us. This issue of The Gathering is doing double duty as our Annual Impact Report. Please look through the statistics and stories of the many ways we are exercising our freedom to do far more together than we ever could alone. Here are some highlights of our cooperative ministries from 2025–2026: •

•

Western NC Disaster Response: Our work in this devastated part of our state continued in 2025 through support of churches and mission teams, a summer feeding program and the second “Christmas for the Mountains” emphasis. Covenant of Cooperation Process: For two years, the Coordinating Council facilitated a process to navigate ideological diversity in our fellowship, reflective of larger trends in churches and our nation. A covenant was

By Larry Hovis CBFNC Executive Coordinator

Church Leader Research: In the summer of 2025, the Coordinating Council conducted a series of interviews with diverse church leaders (laity and clergy) around the state to discern congregational needs and focus CBFNC’s ministries around those needs. Priorities that emerged are: •

Clarifying and communicating CBFNC identity

•

Engaging laity in the life of our fellowship

•

Developing greater opportunities for missional engagement

•

Developing additional opportunities

•

Aligning staff around key priorities

regional

networking

•

Callings Lilly Grant Partnership: CBFNC, along with four other partner organizations, were invited by Campbell University Divinity School to collaborate on a large-scale grant from Lilly Endowment focusing on “Cultivating a Culture of Calling.”

•

Helping Churches Thrive Creative Workshop Retreat: A two-day retreat, with a strong emphasis on practical resources for lay leaders, was held in Winston-Salem in November 2025. This was perhaps the most successful lay-focused leadership development event held in CBFNC’s history. A similar event is scheduled for November 13–14, 2026.

•

Regional Development: Regional Gatherings with a focus on Helping Churches Thrive, were conducted in several locations around the state. Also, CBFNC has worked closely with two regions, Northeast and Foothills, to develop intentional regional connections and ministries.

•

Staff changes: The ministries we pursue together require leadership. Over the past year, we have experienced several leadership changes. •

Amy Lee Gallaher moved to full-time and added responsibilities for missions and resources.

•

Jamie Rorrer shifted roles from communications director to development specialist.

•

Daniel Sostaita became assistant director for Red Latina.

Wanda Kidd concluded her role as Western NC disaster response coordinator.

These cooperative ministries could never happen without the generous support of churches and individual

donors. As we look toward the future, we remain convinced that God’s call is larger than any one congregation, ministry or leader. Together, exercising the freedom Christ has given us, we will continue bringing Baptists of North Carolina together for Christ-centered ministry.

Who We Are

North Carolina Cooperative Baptists join together in responding to Jesus’ call to go into all the world to share God’s love (Matthew 28:19-20).

F

ounded in 1994, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina is a fellowship of individuals and churches voluntarily partnering in ministry so that all people may know they are loved by God. As a steady and trusted ministry partner to local churches, CBFNC is committed to serving Jesus Christ, preserving historic Baptist freedoms and calling out God’s gifts in Christians and churches to engage in ministry in our state and world. CBFNC collaborates with a vast network of partner ministries including historic Baptist agencies and institutions, as well as newer organizations that share our values and extend our mission. Though we are a free-standing body, CBFNC is grateful to partner with the larger CBF movement of God’s people, including CBF Global, and state and regional CBF organizations. Our primary partners are local churches, their members and other Christians who desire to be in fellowship and mission together. CBFNC exercises no ecclesiastical control over churches and ministers. CBFNC is not a member organization but a partnership of equals. All individuals and churches who embrace our mission, principles, commitments and values, and desire to share in our ministries, are welcome in our fellowship.

OUR MISSION Bringing Baptists of North Carolina Together for Christ-Centered Ministry.

OUR MINISTRY PRIORITIES EQUIP Ministers and Churches CBFNC supports and strengthens church leaders to guide thriving churches.

EMBRACE Neighbors Through Missions CBFNC joins with churches and missional partners to embrace neighbors with the love of Christ.

ENGAGE Youth and Young Adults CBFNC invests in emerging generations for discipleship and leadership.

We come TOGETHER as a fellowship, to be more and to do more TOGETHER for God’s kingdom than we could ever do alone.

Equipping Churches to Serve: First Baptist Church of Drexel

I

n small towns like Drexel, North Carolina, the local church is often the first place neighbors turn when needs arise. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows each other and waving to a stranger on the street is simply the neighborly thing to do. First Baptist Church of Drexel took that trust seriously when it began to notice several unmet needs in the community. And CBFNC was able to equip the church with a Missions Engagement Grant that helped them turn vision into action, living into their calling to bloom where they are planted.

nursery and the town’s Public Works department, which helped light the playground for evening events like free family movie nights. In March 2026, the congregation hosted the community movie night they had long dreamed about. “The lawn was full of laughter, smiles, and conversations between neighbors and friends,” said Pastor Michael Chandler. “We had 100-plus people from the beautiful melting pot of our Drexel community.”

Thanks to a grant from CBFNC, First Baptist, Drexel revamped its outdoor spaces and opened a food pantry, bringing new ways to serve and gather for families in its community.

The congregation had identified two pressing needs: families lacked safe, welcoming outdoor spaces to gather, eat and play, and many households were food insecure. The church recognized that its beautiful property and spacious outdoor areas were assets that could be shared with the larger community. With a clear plan to address both needs, FBC Drexel applied for a grant in fall 2025. CBFNC fully funded the request. Grant dollars went toward picnic tables including ADAaccessible seating, renovated playground spaces designed for parent-child interaction and a weekly car-line food distribution program. The church quickly built partnerships with the local library, elementary school and Second Harvest Food Bank. It received in-kind support from a local 6 | The Gathering

Listening, responding, partnering and loving their neighbors well has built deep trust between the church and the community it serves. The weekly food distribution has since become a cornerstone ministry, rooted in what Chandler describes as a deeper calling: “We hope to communicate in a much deeper way how much we care about our community and that we are here to serve.” Through a grant, a plan and a willingness to bloom where they are planted, FBC Drexel is showing what it looks like when a church loves its neighbors well—and CBFNC is honored to come alongside churches like theirs to help make it possible.

EMBRACE Reflections on Faith:

A Sacred Conversation on Being Latino/a Today

W

hen CBFNC gathered faith leaders and community advocates online for a sacred conversation on a spring evening, it became more than a meeting. It became a testimony to the lived experience of Latino/a Americans navigating faith, identity and justice. As part of CBFNC’s Reflections on Faith: A Look into the Life of the Immigrant virtual interview series, Bella Campo shared her story. A J.D. candidate at Campbell University School of Law, daughter of a Mexican immigrant pastor and emerging advocate for immigrant rights, Bella’s story is one that CBFNC’s Red Latina ministry helped nurture and lift up.

churches across North Carolina and the entire nation. Fear becomes a constant companion. She described the impact of ICE activity in communities like Siler City: parents hesitant to attend school events, businesses losing patrons and families living in quiet vigilance. Yet even in naming this pain, Bella grounded her words in theological conviction, “Every person bears the image of God and deserves dignity.” This is the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because CBFNC creates spaces where voices like Bella’s are heard and honored. Her words echo the enduring call of Scripture: “You shall love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Deuteronomy 10:19). For CBFNC, this is not merely a verse but a framework for ministry.

Bella’s upbringing reflects a sacred blending of cultures, where family, church and community life nurtured her identity. As the daughter of a pasCalling and Courage in the Law tor who immigrated from Mexico, Bella’s journey into immigration law is she was raised within a tradition rooted in calling.

ENGAGE Finding Faith, Community and Purpose Through CBFNC’s Collegiate Ministry

U

pon fist arriving at Appalachian State University in 2021, Ozzy workman never imagined the possibility of one day leading a spiritual organization on campus. In fact, Ozzy had spent years away from the church. After painful experiences growing up, faith By Tierney Boss Appalachian State felt distant and church no longer felt like home. Campus Minister Then a friend invited Ozzy to join the Cooperative Baptist Student Fellowship (CBSF) group at App State. That invitation changed everything. Through authentic community, meaningful relationships and the steady love of people who reflected Christ, God’s love became real in new ways for Ozzy. What began as curiosity grew into deep faith, belonging and ultimately leadership in serving as president of CBSF at App State—a role they once would have thought impossible. But Ozzy’s story doesn’t stop there. As a social worker, Ozzy now carries that same love into work each day. The transformation they experienced through campus ministry is now creating impact far beyond one student’s life. “God has given me a hope and a future so much more fulfilling than anything I had ever imagined for myself. I am so grateful for CBSF App State, for being there through my journey and showing me God’s incredible love,” said Ozzy. This is the power of CBFNC’s collegiate ministry. One invitation. One transformed life. Countless lives touched because of it. 10 | The Gathering

Our Gatherings

There is something powerful about the people of God coming together. Each year, the Annual Gathering draws Baptists from across North Carolina to a local church in a different corner of our state. It’s our signature gathering—a multi-day experience filled with worship that inspires, workshops that inform, leadership development that equips and fellowship that reminds us we are not alone.

And the gathering doesn’t stop there. Throughout the year, CBFNC offers regional events, retreats, workshops and online trainings that keep our clergy and laity connected and engaged in the mission we share.

Around 500 Baptists from across North Carolina reconnected at Hayes Barton Baptist, Raleigh in March for Annual Gathering 2026.

Our Leadership

The day-to-day operations and ministries of CBFNC are conducted by paid staff and coordinated from the office based in Winston-Salem. Members of our staff travel frequently around the state, speaking in churches, visiting ministers and church leaders, and serving congregations.

The Coordinating Council is the official board of directors of the nonprofit corporation known as “CBF of North Carolina, Inc.” and members are elected by the fellowship during Annual Gathering. The council’s purpose is to strengthen the bonds that tie us together in fellowship and ministry through communications, gatherings, partner relationships, personnel, finances and other resources. The Coordinating Council also establishes ministry teams of elected volunteer leaders who assist in discerning and delivering the ministries required to enable CBFNC to accomplish its mission.

Our Finances

What Makes Our Work Possible

CBFNC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and does not receive operational support from any denominational group, including CBF Global. As a result, CBFNC is dependent on financial contributions from churches and individuals to ensure that our ministries continue to support churches, their leaders and their communities.

Your financial support is vital.

As church giving continues to decline, CBFNC is becoming more reliant on contributions from individuals and other revenue sources. We encourage individuals to give to your local church first; then consider making a contribution to CBFNC, on a recurring basis and/or in your will or estate plans. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Churches have long provided most of the support to CBFNC. As patterns of church giving change, gifts from individuals and other supporters are more important than ever to sustaining our shared ministry. Other sources of income include donations from individuals, grants, investment earnings, sponsorships and fees. The budget is prepared annually under the leadership of the Coordinating Council and voted on by our fellowship during the Annual Business Meeting at the CBFNC Annual Gathering in March. The budget is available on our website at cbfnc. org/about/finances.

When you support CBFNC, you help make ministry possible far beyond any single congregation. Your generosity equips leaders and congregations to serve, lead and respond faithfully to God’s call in communities all across our state.

SUPPORT CBFNC WITH A GIFT TODAY! Your generosity strengthens churches, encourages leaders and makes ministry possible far beyond any single congregation. You may make a gift online, by mailing a check or by including CBFNC in your will or estate plans.
