Illinois Baptist State Association received a charter as an Illinois Corporation on November 2, 1907, at Marion, Illinois, and is governed by the Illinois General Not For Profit Corporation Act.
ARTICLE I
NAME
The name of this organization is Illinois Baptist State Association, hereinafter referred to as The Illinois Baptist State Association or IBSA.
Section 1. The Illinois Baptist State Association is an organized body of messengers from Baptist churches cooperating to encourage sound Biblical doctrine, cooperative missions, and Baptist fellowship. As an autonomous body, IBSA shall not violate the autonomy of any church or other Baptist body.
Section 2. The purpose of IBSA is to assist in establishing and developing effective Baptist churches in their context. IBSA shall engage in other related activities it considers relevant to its corporate fellowship.
Section 1. As IBSA, we adopt the Bible as the basis of all our faith and practice.
Section 2. Illinois Baptists have used various confessions of faith to better explain their understanding of the Bible. As IBSA, we acknowledge the value of all these documents, especially the Philadelphia Confession of Faith (1742), the New Hampshire Confession of Faith (1833), and the Baptist Faith and Message of the Southern Baptist Convention statement of 1925, with revisions in 1963, 1998, and 2000. We encourage IBSA congregations and associations to use confessions of faith as resources to inform and edify Illinois Baptists concerning the basic tenets of our faith. These documents will thus equip us as we seek to fulfill our historic commitment to evangelism, discipleship, missions, education, godly living, and mutual cooperation in bearing a Baptist witness to the world.
Section 3. The churches of IBSA have historically recognized that there are distinctive doctrines that unify us as Baptists and set us apart from other
denominations. Throughout our history, doctrinal statements have been adopted that express the common, but not necessarily universally held, elements of our faith. Baptists have always cherished the belief that individuals and churches are to study the Bible and form their beliefs as the Holy Spirit leads them. In keeping with this history, IBSA affirms the following statement as a basis of our continued cooperation in sharing our message with the people of Illinois and the whole world:
1. Confessions of faith constitute a consensus of opinion of some Baptist body for the general instruction and guidance of its people and others concerning those articles of the Christian faith which are most surely held among us.
2. We do not regard confessions of faith as complete statements of doctrine, having any quality of finality or infallibility. Baptists should hold themselves free to revise their statements of faith as may seem to them wise and expedient at any time.
3. Any group of Baptists has the inherent right to draw up for itself and publish to the world a confession of faith whenever the group determines it advisable to do so.
4. The sole authority for faith and practice among Baptists is the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. Confessions are only guides in interpretation, having no authority over the conscience.
5. Confessions of faith are statements of religious convictions, drawn from the Scriptures, and as such are not to be used to hamper freedom of thought or investigation into other realms of life.
Section 4. We affirm that the Baptist Faith and Message of the Southern Baptist Convention adopted in 1925, and revised in 1963, 1998, and 2000, represents a consensus of Baptist beliefs for general instruction and guidance. These documents may be used with confidence by local churches and associations, and contain statements of Christian convictions, drawn from the Scriptures, affirming historic Baptist beliefs including the doctrines of soul competency, the priesthood of all believers, and salvation by grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ. Cooperating churches or other interested parties may be instructed in how they might obtain a current publication of these documents by contacting the IBSA registered offices.
Section 1. IBSA, in session, shall be composed of messengers who, as members of cooperating IBSA member churches, are elected and certified by said churches that have voluntarily accepted the nature, purpose, and doctrinal affirmation of IBSA and that have been approved by vote of IBSA messengers in session, based upon the recommendation of the IBSA Credentials Committee (see Article VIII, Section 7).
Section 2. The IBSA Credentials Committee shall receive and review all letters petitioning for affiliation, as well as constitutions and bylaws, operative documents, statements of faith, (in accordance with Article III Section 2) and other documents requested by the committee, from those churches seeking to affiliate with the IBSA. The IBSA Credentials Committee shall then make recommendations to the IBSA
messengers in session regarding those churches’ requests for affiliation with IBSA.
Section 3. An IBSA member church will be considered a cooperating church when it has submitted an annual church profile and has contributed financially to IBSA through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention the preceding year to fulfill the nature, purpose, and doctrinal affirmation of IBSA.
Section 4. Cooperating churches who subsequently fail to fulfill the requirements of cooperation shall be subject to review and possible dismissal.
1. As soon as possible after the close of the annual meeting the Credentials Committee shall check all available records to determine whether there are churches failing to meet all the expectations of a cooperating church.
2. During the course of the year, the Credentials Committee shall make every effort to encourage non-cooperating churches to begin fulfilling all of the expectations of a cooperating church.
3. The Executive Director of IBSA will assume responsibility for communicating with churches who fail to meet the requirements of a cooperating church. Determination will be made as to the church’s intent/desire to continue as a cooperating church in IBSA. IBSA reserves the right to remove churches who do not fulfill cooperation requirements of IBSA.
4. The Credentials Committee shall report its findings and recommendations at the next annual meeting of IBSA.
Section 5. Each cooperating church of IBSA shall be entitled to four (4) messengers, plus one messenger for each multiple of fifty (50) resident members, except that no church shall exceed fifteen (15) messengers.
Section 6. Voting privileges are given only to seated messengers.
Section 7. Messengers elected and certified by cooperating churches shall be seated at each IBSA annual meeting, upon verification by and recommendation of the Credentials Committee.
Section 8. Churches seeking affiliation with IBSA may have their messengers seated, upon recommendation by the Credentials Committee and approval by IBSA in session.
Section 9. Any motion charging doctrinal incompatibility against an IBSA member church shall only be presented in writing by a messenger at an annual meeting and will be automatically referred to the Credentials Committee.
1. The Credentials Committee shall seek other information or evidence and, along with the accusing messenger, shall consult with the leadership of the church being charged to determine the validity of the charges.
2. The Credentials Committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the next annual meeting of IBSA.
Section 10. Upon recommendation of the Credentials Committee of the Illinois Baptist State Association in annual session reserves the right to withdraw
fellowship, by a 2/3 vote of the messengers present and voting, from any IBSA member church for failure to conform to Article IV Section 3 or Article IV Section 9.
Section 1. IBSA shall meet in annual session at such time and place as it may determine.
Section 2. Special meetings of the IBSA may be called:
1. Upon the request of five (5) messengers at the Annual Meeting of IBSA in writing to the president of the IBSA or by two officers of the IBSA in writing to the chairman of the Board of Directors of IBSA.
2. Approval of a Special Meeting shall require a two-thirds affirmative vote of those present and voting either by the messengers at the IBSA Annual Meeting or by the IBSA Board of Directors.
Section 3. The time and/or place of the annual or special meetings of IBSA may be changed upon approval of two-thirds of the Board of Directors.

The vice president may appoint an assistant, subject to the approval of the messengers, to serve when IBSA is in session.
Section 6. Motions made by messengers dealing with internal operations or ministries of an entity shall be referred to the elected board of the entity for consideration and a report to the constituency and to the next Annual Meeting of IBSA. On all matters referred by the messengers of the IBSA shall respond in writing at the close of their report in the Book of Reports and the IBSA Annual, giving specific information on:

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. Indemnification in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation.

Section 3. Right to Payment of Expenses. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 4. Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of trustees who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (c) by the members entitled to vote, if any.

or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
Section 6. Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of members or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

These changes are mostly about formatting, and consistency with the use of the word “chairperson.” There is one clarification about committee members’ ineligibility to serve repeat terms on the same committee, until one year has elapsed. Again, this is a “first reading” and the vote will be at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
On pages 11 and 12, you will find proposed changes to the Illinois Baptist State Association’s Constitution, Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services, and Baptist Foundation of Illinois Bylaws that were presented for first reading last year. The purpose of these amendments is to bring the three entities legal documents into alignment, and to clarify eligibility for board membership of BFI and BCHFS, as it pertains to employees or their family members of these entities.
The IBSA Constitution Committee recommends for second reading and vote, the updates to the IBSA Constitution, the Baptist Children’s Home and Baptist Foundation Bylaws found on pages 11‐12 of the Book of Reports. Vote taken; motion adopted.
49. Nathaniel Trowbridge, Resolutions and Christian Life Committee chair, presented the report from the Book of Reports, pages 20 through 24. These were voted on individually. Below are excerpts from his script overviewing each of the resolutions.
We would like to recognize the hospitality of our host church, Cornerstone Church of Marion, and their pastor, Michael Nave, and gracious staff. Resolution was adopted by affirmation, and shown by a round of applause.
Southern Baptists were met in February with the sad and disturbing news that some churches had sexual abusers in their midst. Of particular concern was the report that some of the accused were church leaders and pastors who had moved from one church to another without being detected. And the survivors of abuse, in many cases, felt unheard when they reported abuse and uncared for in their own churches.
Since that first newspaper report, Southern Baptists have responded with a series of strong statements against abuse, for the protection of children and vulnerable adults, and for pastoral care for the abused. The executive Committee and SBC President J.D. Greear led the way. They urged the national convention, state conventions, local associations, and local churches to adopt a series of statements about abuse prevention and ministry, and a series of actions on preventing abuse in the local church.
This resolution is the Illinois version of the national statement. The IBSA Board expressed its support in the March Board Meeting, while we awaited action by messengers at this Annual Meeting. By adopting this resolution, Illinois Baptists will be taking their stand with Southern Baptists nationwide, with 40 other state conventions, plus local associations and local churches, on the abhorrence of sexual abuse, and the mandate we have as representatives of Jesus Christ to do all in our power to prevent such abuse, cooperate with local authorities, and minister to those who have been hurt.
We move the adoption of the Resolution on the Evil of Sexual Abuse on pages 20‐22 of the Book of Reports. Vote taken; resolution is adopted.
On the issue of abortion, our committee feels the need to ask Illinois Baptist to make a statement on the value of life, and to repudiate all actions by the Illinois General Assembly that are making our state a haven for abortion providers. This resolution was drafted months ago, even before we knew about the massive new abortion clinic that opened in Fairview Heights a few weeks ago.
We believe Illinois Baptist need to make a bold statement at this time, for a Biblical and God‐fearing response to the liberalization and expansion of abortion regulations in Illinois – as presented on page 22 in the Book of Reports. Vote taken; motion adopted.
Whereas we rely on the scriptures as the foremost and final authority, particularly 1 Corinthians 6:9‐11, the gospel has the power to deliver one who is washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ from the LGBTQ lifestyle and
Whereas the 2019 Illinois House bill HB0217, titled, “The Youth Mental Health Protection Act” did not in fact protect all youth, but rather attempted to “protect” only youth who prefer to stay in the LGBTQ lifestyle from Reparative Therapy, thereby discriminating against minors and adults who might seek to receive Reparative therapy and find it effective, and
Whereas the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Section 1, stating in part that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws” should allow for minors and their parents the right to choose counseling that supports the Biblical view of human sexuality, and
Whereas Dr. Nicholas J. Cummings, President of American Psychological Association, stated that, “With clinical experience my staff and I learned to assess the probability of change in those who wished to become heterosexual.

The Leona Tyler Principle (that it is possible to leave the homosexual lifestyle) not only ceased to be followed, it was wiped from the APA journal,” thus opening the door for homosexuality to be promoted as a Civil Right, therefore be it
RESOLVED, the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting in Marion, Illinois, November 6‐7, 2019 affirm the position that minors have rights

68. The meeting adjourned at 11:13 a.m.
Welcome to the Annual Meeting of the Illinois Baptist State Association. This year’s theme is: ReFocus. I hope that during our time together, the Lord helps us to refocus and fix our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. As a pastor I know how easy it is to get bogged down in the daily duties of church work and slowly lose focus on Christ and our calling. There are so many issues to deal with and so many needs to be addressed. But Hebrews 12:1-2 reminds us that we follow in a long line of faithful brothers and sisters, who were imperfect people just like us, yet they remained faithful to God and finished the race because they keep their faith in God.
I also want to say that it has been a joy to serve as your President for the past two years. God has allowed me walk alongside many of you as He shined the light of the gospel into the darkness of Illinois. God has gifted this association with many faithful and gifted brothers and sisters in Christ who are committed to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. May we never forget that we are stronger together than we are apart. I am convinced that God will continue to use IBSA to reach the lost equip churches to reach the world for Christ as long as we stay focused on Him.
Finally, I need to report that the Coordinating Council met twice this year, as required, and you will hear the reports of the Executive Directors of IBSA, BCHFS and BFI during our meeting. I am grateful to each of them for their leadership and I solicit your prayers for them and myself as we continue to serve you in the days ahead.
The committee met on August 20 and October 4 for the purpose of nominating individuals to fill IBSA Standing Committee positions for 2020. The names in bold are recommended to serve a complete term. The names in italics are being recommended to complete an unfulfilled position. Those marked with an * are laypeople.

The IBSA Constitution Committee met on March 28 to review and consider the IBSA Constitution, Bylaws for both the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (BCHFS) and the Baptist Foundation of Illinois (BFI), and the Association’s Officer and Committee Manual as directed in Article VIII, Section 8 of the IBSA Constitution.
During its August 26 meeting the Committee discussed several items in the IBSA Constitution that included removing formatting dates, clarifying that a convention employee cannot serve on the Board, that a person can move to a different IBSA standing committee when rotating off a different committee, and changing one place that still used the term chairman rather than chairperson.
Following are the committee’s recommended changes to the IBSA Constitution and the BCHFS and BFI Bylaws, for first reading at the 2019 IBSA Annual Meeting, and for discussion and action at the 2020 IBSA Annual Meeting.

The Historical Committee met on March 19, 2019, at the IBSA Building, and reviewed its assigned tasks and responsibilities.
The committee with the help of IBSA staff members and other past leaders put together one hundred and eight possible items for a historical timeline to be made into large pictures. These pictures are to be displayed in the IBSA Building in Springfield. Because each item would be presented as a large picture, items could be added or deleted as new major events occur. The pictures could also be made into video and be displayed in a local church. This would give more of our members knowledge of Baptist work in Illinois.
Delbert Penrod wrote an article for the Illinois Baptist encouraging the churches to digitize their historical records by scanning or photographing them. Digitized copies could then be sent to our Baptist Building and stored in the vault for inclusion in our collection of IBSA history in the archives.
Susan Full reported on the work of the Archive Ad Hoc Work Group updating the Committee on what has been completed and what they are preparing to do next to continue preserving our history. As is the Committee’s tradition, they toured the IBSA Historical Archives that are located at the IBSA Building.
Also, this year we received materials to add to the IBSA Historical Library from the Redeemer Baptist Church of Panama, IL, Jerad File, pastor. They sent a picture of a large community church field map picturing areas coded for a survey and visitation for prospects. The IBSA rural church program which produced it was called Design for Rural Church Achievement. It was led by IBSA leader Walter Mihlfeld and pastor Roger Elsworth. This program produced church growth.

The Committee met March 19 to discuss potential resolutions to be presented at the 2019 IBSA Annual Meeting and assigned topics to members. The Committee then reviewed drafted resolutions at its September 12 meeting.
The Committee recommends the following resolutions for vote at the 2019 IBSA Annual Meeting. Any additional resolutions by messengers are to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6. The Committee will meet to discuss any newly submitted resolutions, and either prepare those resolutions for presentation and vote at the Thursday, November 7 session, or recommend that they be referred to the 2020 Resolutions and Christian Life Committee for further work and consideration.
Whereas Cornerstone Community Church has shown great hospitality in hosting the 113th Annual Meeting of the Illinois Baptist State Association, and
Whereas Dr. Michael Nave, pastor, and the staff and members of Cornerstone Community Church have been so kind in offering their facilities and working in cooperation with IBSA officers, staff and leadership of this meeting, now therefore be it
Resolved that we the messengers of the 2019 Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting, November 6-7, at Cornerstone Community Church in Marion, Illinois, express our deepest appreciation and pray that God grants its leadership and members spiritual wisdom and understanding so this local body might grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As messengers from local churches affiliated with the Illinois Baptist State Association (IBSA), in friendly cooperation with thousands of other churches across the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), we gladly demonstrate our unity and agreement with sister SBC churches by affirming the following statements on sexual abuse, approved by messengers to the 2019 Southern Baptist Convention in Birmingham, Alabama.
WHEREAS, God has created all people in His image, with equal value and dignity (Genesis 1:26–27); and
WHEREAS, any harm perpetrated against one of God’s image bearers is an attack on God Himself (Genesis 9:6); and
WHEREAS, God detests all forms of sexual abuse and calls His people to defend abuse victims (Psalm 82:4), to stand for justice (Psalm 82:3; Proverbs 31:8–9), and to deliver victims of sexual abuse from the hands of their oppressors (Proverbs 6:17; 24:10–12); and
WHEREAS, sexual abuse refers to sexual activity that involves the use of physical force, manipulation, coercion, or deception; involves the abuse of authority by a perpetrator over a victim; or takes place with a minor or other person who is presumed legally incapable of consent; and
WHEREAS, new revelations of sexual abuse have come to light as victims, survivors, and journalists have exposed the scope of incidents which have occurred within SBC and IBSA churches and institutions; and
WHEREAS, as a community of believers, we deplore each and every instance of sexual abuse and apologize and ask forgiveness for failing to cultivate a culture of protection for those in IBSA churches and institutions who have been sexually abused; and
WHEREAS, we condemn any abuse of power by any leader who has ever sought to protect the perpetrators of sexual abuse or silence and marginalize the victims of sexual abuse; and
WHEREAS, the autonomy of the local church is compatible with the protection of innocents and should not be used by any church or organization as a reason not to take appropriate actions to protect the people it serves, including (but not limited to) the decision of an organization to remove from fellowship any church that fails to protect the vulnerable; and
WHEREAS, we affirm that sexual abuse is not only a sin to be disciplined in the context of the church, but also a crime to be prosecuted in the context of civil government; and
WHEREAS, we affirm that survivors of sexual abuse may by the grace of God forgive their abuser, but that such forgiveness should not be interpreted to mean that a victim must have an ongoing relationship with their abuser in order to be in right fellowship with God or their church, nor be regarded as a substitute for justice for the crime of sexual abuse; and
WHEREAS, we recognize that godly sorrow over the incalculable damage of sexual abuse in a church or ministry setting should lead us to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10), recognizing that institutions that tolerate such sexual immorality stands in opposition to Holy Scripture and Christ Himself (Revelation 2:18–29); now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the messengers to the IBSA Annual Meeting at Cornerstone Community Church in Marion, Illinois, November 6-7, 2019, condemn all forms of sexual abuse and repudiate with a unified voice all sexually abusive behavior as unquestionably sinful and under the just condemnation of our Holy God; and be it further
RESOLVED, that we lament any and all instances of sexual abuse, particularly in a church setting, and express our appreciation to journalists, victims, and survivors who have brought to light the sexually immoral rot that has existed within churches, including some that identify as IBSA churches; and be it further
RESOLVED, that we call on ourselves and our network of congregations and institutions to create a culture where victims can share about their abuse with the assurance of protection, but also receive care while church leaders fulfill their obligation to implement policies and practices that protect against and confront any form of abuse in the future; and be it further
RESOLVED, that we call on all persons perpetrating and enabling sexual abuse to repent and to confess their sin to Jesus Christ and to church authorities, and to confess their crimes to civil authorities; and be it further
RESOLVED, that we implore all persons to act decisively on matters of abuse, to immediately report allegations of sexual abuse to civil authorities according to the laws of the state of Illinois, to intervene on behalf of the abused, to do everything possible to ensure their safety, and to exercise appropriate church discipline upon abusers; and be it finally
RESOLVED, the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting in Marion, Illinois November 6-7, 2019, urge our sister churches and their leaders to develop partnerships within their communities to serve the abused, calling on government officials to strengthen laws that maintain justice and protections for the vulnerable in our society.
WHEREAS, the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution affirms that no state shall deprive any person within its jurisdiction equal protection under the law, including life, and liberty, and therefore the life of a baby in its mother’s womb;
WHEREAS, this year the Illinois General Assembly passed and Governor JB Pritzker signed into law the Reproductive Health Act (RHA) which repeals several long-standing restrictions on abortion and declares the choice to have an abortion a “fundamental right;”
WHEREAS, Exodus 20:13’s statement, “Thou shall not kill” applies to babies in their mother’s wombs;
WHEREAS, Deuteronomy 30:15-16 states: “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply;”
WHEREAS, Genesis 1:28 states: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,” therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting in Marion, Illinois, November 6-7, 2019, affirm the belief that the church and society have a responsibility to protect the sanctity of human life by passing laws that protect the unborn who cannot protect themselves, and call upon churches to work together to call for legislation that will remove the tragedy of abortion in our state, and finally be it
RESOLVED, that we call upon churches to work together to minister to women carrying children and considering abortion, by providing families, programs, and funds that support adoptive care.
WHEREAS we rely on the scriptures as the foremost and final authority, particularly 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, the gospel has the power to deliver one who is washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ from the LGBTQ lifestyle and,
WHEREAS the 2015 Illinois House Bill HB0217, titled, “The Youth Mental Health Protection Act” did not in fact protect all youth, but rather attempted to “protect” only youth who prefer to stay in the LGBTQ lifestyle from Reparative Therapy, thereby discriminating against minors and adults who might seek to receive Reparative therapy and find it effective, and
WHEREAS the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Section 1, stating in part that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws” should allow for minors and their parents the right to choose counseling that supports the biblical view of human sexuality, and
WHEREAS DR. Nicholas A. Cummings, former President of American Psychological Association, stated that, “With clinical experience my staff and I learned to assess the probability of change in those who wished to become heterosexual. Of the roughly 18,000 gay and lesbian patients whom we treated over 20 years through Kaiser Permanente, most had satisfactory outcomes,” and
WHEREAS, according to Cummings, (https://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/item/11640-formerapa-president-says-homosexuals-can-change), “After the decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder was made, gay lobbyists and their allies gained control over the APA and from then on, all findings were cherry picked in favor of what these people wanted to say to serve their political agenda. The Leona Tyler Principle (that it is possible to leave the homosexual lifestyle) not only ceased to be followed, it was wiped from the APA journal,” thus opening the door for homosexuality to be promoted as a Civil Right, therefore be it
RESOLVED, the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting in Marion, Illinois, November 6-7, 2019, affirm the position that minors have rights under the First Amendment to the free exercise of religion, and under the 14th Amendment to the right of Equal Justice Under the Law, including the right to receive counseling that would allow them to be free from unwanted same sex/gender attraction.
WHEREAS data compiled from IBSA’s 2018 Annual Church Profile (ACP) reports indicates that 525 Illinois Baptist churches average 50 people or less in Sunday morning worship service attendance, and
WHEREAS it is also noted that of those 525 Illinois Baptist churches reporting, 39 have volunteer pastors, 19 are served by part-time pastors, 168 have bi-vocational pastors, 55 serve as interim pastors, and 244 are served by full-time pastors, each of whom has in common a love for the Lord and a love for the people they pastor, and
WHEREAS these same 525 Illinois Baptist churches graciously gave $897,752 dollars through the Cooperative Program of our Southern Baptist Convention in 2018, accounting for over 15% of the total dollars recorded from Illinois Baptist churches. Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting in Marion, Illinois, November 6-7, 2019, express our fondest appreciation for the faithful work of all our Illinois Baptist small church congregations!
ResolutiononRevitalizationandRenewal
WHEREAS the decline in baptisms, worship attendance, Bible study participation, and other key indicators of church health have been well-documented in Illinois Baptist churches; and
WHEREAS, the word revitalize means to renew or restore life; and
WHEREAS, scripture teaches that true spiritual life comes from the Spirit of God, through the preaching of the word of God (1 Corinthians 2:13-14, Galatians 5:16, Romans 8:11); and
WHEREAS, the word of God gives us a prescription when there are maladies in and among the church (Revelation 2:5, 2:16, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10), to repent and return to God; and
WHEREAS, IBSA’s 2016 Resolution on Church Revitalization and Renewal reminded messengers “that as Christ is head of the church, the body will submit to His authority;” therefore be it
RESOLVED, that pastors and churches are urged to have a renewed commitment to the preaching of the gospel, asking the Holy Spirit to bring new life to the churches; and be it
RESOLVED, that pastors and churches are urged to engage in the intentional, spiritual processes of church revitalization that are available to them, and be it finally
RESOLVED, that the messengers of the November 6-7, 2019 Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting at Cornerstone Community Church in Marion, Illinois, encourage Illinois Baptist pastors and churches to have a renewed commitment to preaching the full counsel of scripture to those who name the name of Christ for the discipling and edification of the body of Christ.

As the theme of the 2019 Annual Meeting suggests, the IBSA Board has spent the year praying and envisioning with our Executive Director the groundwork needed to prepare our association to refocus and continue to remain relevant in assisting churches to be healthy as God empowers them to reproduce spiritually. While cultures, churches, and individual members change, the Word of God and God Himself remains the same. The theme of this year’s annual meeting, “ReFocus” is an accurate one-word summary of the board’s work this past year which will continue and manifest in God’s power as it comes to fruition in 2020.
Every year the board focuses on the Mission Statement from the IBSA Constitution which reads: “The purpose of this Association is to assist in establishing and developing effective Baptist churches in their context. This Association shall engage in other related activities it considers relevant to its corporate fellowship.” Our Vision Statement reads: “We see healthy, effective, well-led Baptist churches, sacrificially working together to advance the gospel, make disciples of Jesus, and establish new churches throughout Illinois and the world.”
The 2020 goals to engage our God-given Mission and Vision can be summarized by this statement. “Praying for God’s guidance and power, and cooperating with associations and other partners, we will strive to truly assist churches as we develop leaders, inspire cooperation, stimulate church health and evangelistic growth, and catalyze evangelistic church planting and missions.”
For those who are prayerfully led by God to utilize the training and resources that will be made available, Church Revitalization will be a focus in 2020. Recent statistics presented to the Board by consultants show that 38,000 out of the over 45,000 Southern Baptist churches in the Southern Baptist Convention are plateaued or declining. The IBSA Board has agreed with our Executive Director that Church Revitalization should be a priority ministry for those churches who would choose to take advantage of opportunities that will be made available to assist them in determining ways to refocus their ministries to more effectively fulfill the Great Commission in their context.
In light of this, IBSA is looking at establishing Church Revitalization processes, responding proactively to change, consolidating and synergizing ministry areas, focusing on processes more than programs, expanding IBSA’s effectiveness and extending its reach through key partners and technology processes, and focusing on increasing overall and deeper church engagement.
These are “Big Goals” but we must keep in mind, we are empowered and serve a “Big God” who has called us to embrace His “Big Idea” of leading others to become part of His family and kingdom through the ministry of the local churches.
The role of IBSA is to “assist” the churches. Please pray for our Executive Director, staff, and board as they seek to agree with God and provide opportunities for churches to turn the statistics around for His glory. May our hearts be in unity to move forward as we seek those things we can do better together than we could do alone. To God be the glory, great things He has done and will do this year through the ministry of IBSA.
For 2019, the IBSA Board of Directors approved four major goals, along with multiple metrics for each goal:
Praying for God’s guidance and power, and cooperating with associations and other partners, we will strive to truly assist churches as we:
1.Develop Leaders: Effectively engage a growing network of church pastors, staff, planters and other leaders in spiritual, relational development processes, striving for breakthrough growth in leaders that helps transform churches into higher levels of effectiveness.
2.Inspire Cooperation: Effectively communicate and consult with IBSA churches and leaders, continually developing excellent relationships and trustworthy services and processes that strengthen Baptist identity, affinity, and cooperation.
3.Stimulate Church Health and Growth: Effectively train and resource churches in the making, maturing, and multiplication of both disciples and leaders, and in the development of new and improved ministries.
4.Catalyze Evangelistic Church Planting and Missions: Effectively facilitate the movement of evangelistic volunteers from churches to their Acts 1:8 mission fields, and the multiplication of evangelistic, cooperating Baptist churches and pastors throughout Illinois.
The IBSA staff has been pursuing each of these goals and their corresponding metrics, which can be best reported after year-end 2019 Annual Church Profile data is available from churches in January 2020. We are optimistic about improvements in several areas of ministry in 2019, in part because of the 257 IBSA churches that, by the end of 2018, committed to one or more of the Pioneering Spirit commitments to “go new places” in church planting, “engage new people” in evangelism, “make new sacrifices” in cooperative missions giving, and “develop new leaders” to send as pastors, missionaries, or church planters.
By the end of 2019, 17 to 19 new church plants are anticipated (up from 14 in 2018), and about 70 church plants are in some stage of development. In addition, 16 new churches are being recommended for affiliation at the 2019 IBSA Annual Meeting. Baptisms in IBSA churches were up 6.8% in 2018, and we are hopeful that evangelistic and baptism emphases such as “One Grand Month” and “Who’s Your One” may further increase baptisms in 2019.
IBSA continues to see strong growth in its children and student camps, especially at its two camp properties, Lake Sallateeska and Streator Baptist Camps. Participation at IBSA’s nine summer camps this year was up 17% over 2018, the second consecutive year of double-digit growth.
IBSA’s efforts in Leadership Development continue to expand, with over 500 pastors or church leaders participating this year in leadership development events, cohorts, or self-guided resources. The Midwest Leadership Summit, planned by 9 cooperating Midwest Baptist state conventions every three years, was hosted by IBSA in Springfield in both 2015 and 2018. The MLS will again be hosted by IBSA in Springfield in both 2020 and 2022, with the increased frequency being due to the event’s popularity and effectiveness. The January 2019 Illinois Leadership Summit with keynote speaker
Dr. Nate AdamsMark Clifton resonated strongly with more than 200 pastors and leaders, and launched an emphasis in church revitalization that continues to shape IBSA’s future strategies and structure.
In order to allocate staff and resources to a new church revitalization ministry, this past summer IBSA eliminated one missions position and one worship and technology position. IBSA will continue to resource these areas of ministry through its Leadership Development staff, but will now focus less on individual programs or church ministries staffed with specialists, and more on three overarching processes of Revitalization, Leadership Development, and Mobilization, which will include church planting, evangelism, and missions.
Year-end measurements of missions giving from churches will not be available until Annual Church Profiles are compiled in early 2020. Through September, however, Cooperative Program giving is up 3.1% (2% increase is the annual goal). Mission Illinois Offering receipts through September are up compared to the previous year by 13.3% (3% increase is the goal). Total income over expenses through September are a strong $293,209. The proposed 2020 IBSA Budget reflects no subsidy from IBSA to the Baptist Foundation of Illinois, meeting the goal of BFI’s financial self-sufficiency by 2020.
At the end of 2019, Pat Pajak will retire after 12 years of service through IBSA. The IBSA staff and I, as well as many years of IBSA Committee and Board members, gratefully acknowledge Pat’s tremendous service over these years. Pat will continue to work with IBSA part-time as a Zone Consultant relating to three local IBSA Associations.
The IBSA missionaries, staff, and I appreciate so much the partnership and cooperation of IBSA churches, and consider it a joy to serve the Lord through this ministry. We welcome any questions or input that may assist us in serving IBSA churches more effectively.
Board of Directors
Tuesday, March 26, 2019 10:00 AM
1.Chairman Bob Dickerson called the meeting to order at 10:00 AM.
2.A motion to adopt the printed Agenda was made by Mike Jameson and seconded by Cal Callison. The motion carried.
3. David Starr gave a brief devotion from I Corinthians 12. God has gifted each of us uniquely for service; therefore, each Board member has something significant to contribute. God doesn’t want us to try to be someone other than who we are. As Scripture says, we are to walk worthy of the calling to which we were called (Ephesians 4:1).
4.A motion was made by Curt Lipe and seconded by Jerry Higdon to accept the printed minutes of the September 11, 2018 Board Meeting. The motion carried.

7. The Chair recognized Denny Hydrick who brought greetings from the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services and then shared the following story. Not long ago his family adopted a dog from a shelter. The lady helping them process Moose’s adoption told him that she had been a resident at the Carmi Baptist Children’s Home and she expressed appreciation for the impact that experience had on her life. For Denny Hydrick, the appreciation wasn’t his to keep; it was his to share. He expressed gratitude to the Board, noting that the BCHFS exists and changes lives because of the association of churches it represents.
Chairman Bob Dickerson announced that First Baptist Church of Marion, where he pastors, will be hosting a 5K race the Saturday after Mother’s Day, with the benefits going to the Carmi Baptist Children’s Home.
8.Board members were directed to Board Advance Materials regarding the proposed motion from the Nominating Committee with the following two recommendations: Jeff Dalton (Central Baptist Church, Three Rivers Association) fill the vacancy on the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services Board of Trustees (a Class A term expiring 2019) and Mark Goldman (First Baptist, Herrin, Williamson Association, Region 6) fill the vacancy on the IBSA Board of Directors (a Class B term expiring 2020). The motion carried.
9.Chairman Bob Dickerson reported that the Board Committees selected the following members to serve on the Board Nominating Committee: Roger Marshall (Administrative), Jacqueline Scott (Strategic Planning), and Curt Lipe (Resource Development). Roger Marshall has agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board Nominating Committee.
10.Danny Donato, the Vice Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee, brought one item for Board action.
The Strategic Planning Committee recommended the approval of the 2020 Goals. Executive Director Nate Adams noted that he and the staff are re-evaluating the work of IBSA in light of NAMB funding, staff vacancies, and other matters, and will develop the specific metrics in the near future. Until then, the overall 2020 Goals will remain unchanged as the 2020budget is created. The motion carried.
11.Curt Lipe, the Chairman of the Resource Development Committee, brought three items for Board action.
Item #1 – The Resource Development Committee recommended the Board accept the Audit Report from Capin Crouse, which was positive, giving IBSA a clean audit. Appreciation was expressed to Nate Adams, Jeff Deasy, and the IBSA staff. The motion carried.
Item #2 – The Resource Development Committee recommended a correction to the 2019 Budget due to a minor error in calculating the Cooperative Program amount to be sent to the national Southern Baptist Convention. The adjustments were highlighted in the Advance Materials. The motion carried.
Item #3 – The Resource Development Committee recommended that the Executive Director prepare a 2020 budget and salary structure based on a Cooperative Program Goal between $6,200,000 and $6,300,000 (to be finalized prior to the August 13 Resource Development Committee meeting), and a Cooperative Program ratio of 56.5 percent/43.5 percent (IBSA/SBC), excluding shared expenses not to exceed 10% of the Cooperative Program Goal, and with Cooperative Program funds received beyond the budget goal to be distributed at a ratio of 50 percent/50 percent (IBSA/SBC). The motion carried.
12.Bob Dyer of the Administrative Committee brought three items for Board action.
Item #1 – The Administrative Committee recommended that the Board express its support of the Statement of Principles concerning sexual abuse proposed by Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear on February 17, 2019. The motion carried.
Item #2 – The Administrative Committee recommended the following change to the Board Handbook (Board Member Expense Reimbursement, item #3): Members will be allowed up to $15 per eligible meal for reimbursement. The motion carried.
Item #3 (since this affects all three committees it is found in three sections of the Board Handbook) – The Administrative Committee recommended that the following be added to
the Board Member Handbook under the heading of Governance Process for all three committees: In the event a vacancy occurs within the office of chairperson, the vice chairperson shall be the chairperson. In the event of a vacancy occurring within the offices of vice chairperson or secretary, the selection of these officers shall be the first order of business at the next meeting of the committee. The motion carried.
Bob Dyer concluded by informing the Board that the Administrative Committee will present one additional recommendation during Executive Session.
13.Executive Director Nate Adams began his report by introducing the only staff member hired since the last meeting of the Board: Aubrey Krol, who fills the vacancy left when Barb Troeger moved to the position of IBSA Executive Assistant. Executive Director Adams expressed appreciation to Van Kicklighter for his eight years of service to IBSA. He will transition to disability status on April 1. During Kicklighter’s tenure almost 150 IBSA churches were planted.
While IBSA staff members have received a check and recognition internally in recognition of 10-year increments of service, beginning with this Board meeting they will also receive a memento to mark these milestones. Jeff Deasy and Barb Troeger presented awards to the following staff members for ten years of service: Nate Adams, Linda Darden, Carole Doom, Philip Hall, Steve Hamrick, Drew Heironimus, Kris Kell, Lisa Misner, Debbie Muller, Pat Pajak, and Kendra Jackson. Drew Heironimus, Kendra Jackson, and Lisa Misner also received an award for twenty years of service and Kendra Jackson received one for thirty years of service.
After briefly describing each Board Committee’s focus in the Spring and Fall, Executive Director Nate Adams shared some successes to celebrate from 2018 which included strong numbers of mission volunteers, 14 new church plants with others moving along in that process, an increase in baptisms, an increase in IBSA Children’s Camp participation, a strong number of Illinois Baptists involved in leadership development, ACP data received from 97% of IBSA churches, 257 churches committed to at least one of the components of the Pioneering Spirit emphasis, and the Illinois Baptist received the Award of Excellence from the Evangelical Press Association. To sum it up, he said our mission is Churches Together Advancing the Gospel.
Executive Director Nate Adams named 7 Key Priorities that must influence our 2020 strategy, goals, and budget.
Church Revitalization – must be intentional with evangelism at its core.
Illinois Contextualized Church Planting – with the North American Mission Board moving to year-by- year funding commitments, it is vitally important that IBSA maintain a strong Church Planting staff and strategy.
Equipping Churches to Reach Younger Generations – our most effective churches are reaching younger generations while benefiting from older generations.
Transformational Leadership Development – resulting in healthier churches.
Assist Churches with Evolving Cultural Issues – churches need to be prepared to deal with things happening in our culture such as same sex marriage, unisex bathrooms, and sexual abuse.
Effective Associational Partnerships – this continues to be a need due in part to gaps left in associational leadership when the North American Mission Board cut Associational funding. IBSA Zone Consultants are helping to ease this burden.
Inspiring Church Engagement – through local associations of churches, leading regional churches, and technological means.
Executive Director Nate Adams noted that addressing these 7 Key Priorities requires vision casting and re-evaluating what a valuable, relevant State Association of the future looks like and must be reflected in the IBSA 2020 budget. As he and the staff work on metrics for the 2020 Goals, they will look at how best to focus on the following four challenges from the Pioneering Spirit: Go New Places, Engage New People, Make New Sacrifices, and Develop New Leaders.
14.Following the Executive Director report, the Board moved into Executive Session.
15.At the conclusion of the Executive Session, the Board reconvened into General Session. It was announced that the Board Nominating Committee would meet immediately following the Board Meeting. Sharon Carty asked for prayer for IBSA President Adron Robinson and herself in the upcoming specially called meeting of the Executive Committee of the SBC, with the purpose to consider the election of its next President.
16.A motion to adjourn was made by Alan Newcomb and seconded by Robert Windes. The motion carried.

Executive Director Nate Adams recognized Carole Doom for twenty years of service to IBSA and invited Jeff Deasey to present the award to her. Carole is now one of four current IBSA staff members with 20 or more years of service.
Board members were encouraged to pray for Bill Weedman and his wife Judy. Bill, who served IBSA for 28 years is in Hospice care, nearing the end of his life.
Pat Pajak was invited to speak about IBSA Evangelism efforts. He reported that baptisms increased nearly 7% in 2018. One Grand Sunday was introduced last year and saw over 650 baptisms. It was relaunched this year as One Grand Month, and over 700 baptisms were reported. Reports from this year’s SBC emphasis on Baptism Sunday (September 8) are still coming in; so far 54 have been reported from IBSA churches on that one day. Other evangelism emphases include Who’s Your One? and the use of Three Circles of Evangelism. It was also reported that there are forty evangelism resources available through the online Shelf section of the IBSA.org web site.
Executive Director Nate Adams noted that it is estimated IBSA will have nineteen new churches this year. Other things to celebrate include a continuing increase in the number of students attending IBSA camps and an approximately 1% increase in Cooperative Program giving.
The IBSA Annual Meeting will be held at Cornerstone Church in Marion. The theme is Refocus. Worship will be led by the Cornerstone worship team, with their pastor Michael Nave and IBSA President Adron Robinson bringing sermons.
Executive Director Nate Adams explained that the 2020 budget and metrics reflect an intentional revitalization strategy. The twelve metrics were included in the advance materials the board received.
Board members received an IBSA organization chart that shows staff members and their positions under the new structure. Executive Director Nate Adams also addressed the 40 Steps of Change which summarized IBSA’s 2020 Restructuring. He noted that perhaps the most important item on the list is the first one under Precipitating Factors: multiple flat or declining trends in overall IBSA church statistics (worship attendance, baptisms, Bible study, missions giving) noted and communicated during both 2017 and 2018 IBSA Annual Meetings, leading to the “Pioneering Spirit Challenge.”
The necessary changes will take time and move through stages, including evaluating strategies and structure and budgeting that needs to be done now for 2020 (that stage is complete), planning processes that will affect 2021 (a “Vision Team” of IBSA staff, board, associational leaders and church leaders has begun that work) and a longer term planning process (that has been initiated this fall with a “Future Team” of IBSA staff, in consultation with Will Mancini, President of Denominee and founder of the Auxano process now owned by LifeWay) that will take place from 2019 through 2022.
Executive Director Nate Adams concluded his report by sharing letters he received from two individuals on opposite ends of the age spectrum, each recognizing the value of IBSA. Kenneth Neibel spoke words of affirmation for the heritage of IBSA and its ministries and
included a check for the Illinois Offering. Rachel Vanbebber expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve as an IBSA intern this summer.
9. Jay Simala, the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee, brought one item for Board action.
The Strategic Planning Committee recommended the adoption of the Metrics for the 2020 Goals. The Goals were approved at the March 26, 2019 Board Meeting. The motion carried.
10. Curt Lipe, the Chairman of the Resource Development Committee, brought three items for Board action.
Item #1 – The Resource Development Committee recommended the following three overspend items:
An overspend of up to $2,000 in the Church Cooperation AED department of the 2019 IBSA Budget due to commissions on tenant lease renewals that were not anticipated.
An overspend of up to $122,000 in the Properties department which reflects an $11,000 overspend due to higher insurance expenses related to added equipment at the camps and a projected $111,000 overspend due to the repair of the roof of the IBSA building from wind damage. Brotherhood Mutual Insurance is covering the cost of the roof repair in its entirety, which will appear in the revenue/income side of the budget.
An overspend of up to $22,000 in the Student Ministries Department due to a 17% increase in anticipated attendance at Student Camps. The additional expenses will be matched by additional income in the Cost Recovery income line of the budget.
The motion regarding the three overspend items carried.
Item #2 – The Resource Development Committee recommended approval of the 2020 Cooperative Agreement between the boards of the Illinois Baptist State Association and the Baptist Foundation of Illinois. It was noted that the Baptist Foundation of Illinois will not receive any money through the 2020 IBSA budget, though emergency funds (from IBSA’s Special Emphasis & Projects Net Asset Fund) may be requested, on an as needed basis. The motion carried.
Item #3 – The Resource Development Committee recommended the approval of the 2020 Proposed Budget which reflects strategies for revitalization and also includes the Cooperative Program ratio, pay scales, etc. The motion carried.
11. Bob Dyer, the Chairman of the Administrative Committee, reported on the findings of the Board’s self-evaluation. For the most part, members are satisfied with the work of the Board. He brought one item for Board action and noted that the Administrative Committee would also have an item to bring during Executive Session.
The Administrative Committee recommended several changes to the Board Notebook, mostly to clean up the language and formatting of the document. These items were included in the advance materials that Board members received. The motion carried.
12. Board Chairman Bob Dickerson brought a report from the Advisory Committee. They brought two motions for Board action; these motions required a second since the Advisory Committee did not approve the exact wording of the motions.
Item #1 – The Advisory Committee of the IBSA Board recommends that IBSA’s Executive Director, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, be authorized to engage IBSA in litigation that proactively challenges zoning restrictions in Illinois municipalities (e.g. Evanston) which do not currently allow religious institutions (e.g. churches or church plants) in certain zones of their cities, in violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). The unrecovered cost of litigation shall not exceed $5,000 without further IBSA Board action. The motion was seconded by Bob Dyer. Nate Adams gave some background information and shared that at the Advisory Committee’s recommendation, he spoke with an attorney (Matthew Flanigan from Logan Street Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon) who in turn spoke with John Mauck to assure that IBSA is not at risk in joining this proposed litigation. The motion carried.
Item #2 – The Advisory Committee of the IBSA Board recommends that IBSA’s Executive Director, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, be authorized to engage IBSA in litigation that seeks exemption for IBSA entities and IBSA member churches from the “Reproductive Health Act,” which requires employers to provide abortion coverage as part of their employee health insurance plans. The unrecovered cost of this litigation shall not exceed $5,000 without further IBSA Board action. The motion was seconded by Jeff Logsdon. It was noted that by gaining exemption to this law on behalf of all of its churches, IBSA would be protecting the religious freedoms of its members. The motion carried.
13.A brief break was taken to allow time for the three committees to elect their officers for the coming year. At the conclusion of the break, the Committee chairs announced the following officers:
Strategic Planning
Chairman Jay Simala
Vice Chairman Danny Donato
Secretary Jeff Logsdon
Resource Development Chairman Curt Lipe
Vice Chairman Cal Callison
Secretary Barbara Lee
Administrative Committee
Chairman Bob Dyer
Vice Chairman Sherry Harlow
14. There was no Miscellaneous Business to consider so Cal Callison made a motion that the Board move into Executive Session. The motion was seconded by Kent Renshaw. The motion carried.
15.At the conclusion of the Executive Session a motion to adjourn was made by Kent Renshaw and seconded by Cal Callison. The motion carried. Chairman Bob Dickerson closed the meeting in prayer.
The IBSA Board of Directors moves that the proposed 2020 budget and salary structure be adopted as printed (see pp. 29-34), based on a Cooperative Program Goal of $6,300,000 and a Cooperative Program ratio of 56.5%/43.5% (IBSA/SBC), excluding shared expenses not to exceed 10% of the Cooperative Program Goal, and with Cooperative Program funds received beyond the budget goal to be distributed at a ratio of 50 %/50 % (IBSA/SBC).
1.IBSA's highest annual CP receipts to date were $6,640,960 in 2009, followed by $6,389,302 (-3.8%) in 2010, $6,223,212 (-2.6%) in 2011, $6,278,257 (+.9%) in 2012, $6,396,037 (+1.9%) in 2013, $6,136,168 (-4%) in 2014, $6,230,082 (+1.5) in 2015, $6,089,576 (-2.3%) in 2016, $5,933,578 (-2.6%) in 2017 and $5,991,634 (+1%) in 2018. Weekly 2019 CP receipts through June are virtually even with 2018, though they have been running about 1% higher most of the year. 1% higher than 2018 CP at year-end 2019 would be $6,051,550.
2.Income from IBSA’s investments with BFI is now projected at 4.2% return for 2020, based on current performance (2019 projection was 5%).
3.One financially distressed tenant unexpectedly did not continue its IBSA Building lease in early 2019. Typically, leasing vacant office space in the Springfield area requires 12-16 months.
4.MIO income for the coming year is projected based the most recent year’s offering, so the 2020 projection is based on the now complete 2018 offering.
5.The proposed CP goal for 2020 is $100,000 higher than the 2019 CP goal.
6.Program expenses have been reduced to allow for staffing in the new area of church health and revitalization.
7.A change in health insurance providers for IBSA staff and retirees has resulted in substantial savings.
8.Multimedia Production expenses have been added, to allow the reduction of one staff position in Communications.
9.Salary budget increased to allow for staffing in new church revitalization area.
Part-time pay grade maximum is 50% higher than base and full-time pay grade maximum is 33% higher than base 2% increase pay grades 1-9 and a 4% increase in pay grade 10 - over 2019 structure
Few things are a more effective barometer of discipleship than how one thinks about, invests, and gives money. BFI’s mission involves challenging the Illinois Baptist family to use resources entrusted to us by God in ways that both honor Him and work to further His Kingdom.
BFI accomplishes this through six divisions. In the following pages, we’ll provide a brief overview of our progress in each.
In the US we often accumulate things retirement accounts, real estate, and life insurance, just to name a few. Because of this, the single largest opportunity to have an impact on our needs AND Kingdom causes is often at the end of our physical lives. BFI offers confidential, customized Christian Estate Planning services at no charge. When we really believe that God owns what we manage and that God has expectations for us, it really does change our entire approach! To date, BFI has served more than 300 families, helping Illinois Baptists care for their families AND advance the Kingdom.
Additionally, BFI provides individual financial coaching to help them maximize the effectiveness of their stewardship efforts. And generosity is emphasized by using BFI’s Donor Advised Fund; each year realizes dollars for various ministries.
Snapshot
Year founded: 1985
Total 2018 funds under mangagement: $43.5 million
Annual amount to ministry from endowment: >$300,000
Interest generated for Illinois Baptist Ministry: >$1,000,000
# Churches receiving BFI Capital Loans: 60
Amount of capital loans outstanding: $9.8M
This year we’re celebrating 60! Not 60 years, but sixty churches who currently have BFI capital loans, helping them build, renovate or purchase their buildings. These loans have a simple application process and represent permanent financing (no balloon payments). And of course growing church buildings supports growing churches! The great majority of our $10M+ in loans are currently being pre-paid, many aggressively, saving our churches even more in interest.
Perhaps most important of all, the interest from these loans supports Illinois Baptist investors, keeping these funds in the Kingdom and amplifying the effect of these resources.
Each year BFI awards almost $80,000 in scholarships to Illinois Baptist students. These scholarships range from awards for Associate Degrees ($1,000) to Bachelor ($2,000) to Seminary ($2,675). These scholarships are the product of generous Illinois Baptists who believe that God is very interested in the “transforming of our minds” as we serve and prepare for future service. We were reminded of how powerful this generosity can be when just this year Mary Lou Cameron (pre-deceased by long time Illinois Baptist leader Harold Cameron) passed away. Even though she’s with the Lord, each year the Camerons support Illinois Baptist students through their scholarship fund.
Applications are received online each year at BaptistFoundationIL.org for 30 days beginning January 1.
BFI provides investing and saving accounts for both churches and individuals with a wide variety of options, all of which considerably outperform bank savings. If we’re managing God’s money, then wise stewardship really does matter and prudent investing honors God.
To receive a multi-year performance report on all of BFI investment options, visit BaptistFoundationIL.org. BFI also provides customized counsel to financial teams, helping them allocate resources, plan prudently and even communicate with their congregations in a way that maximizes the stewardship and generosity of God’s people.
To date, BFI has helped 25 Illinois Baptist congregations ready to close by helping them have future ministry impact and, in many cases, seeing a new church replanted at their location. We create a “legacy fund” that provides ongoing support for missions and ministry in the church’s name, ensuring that the good work God has done will not be forgotten, will be honored and continues to help expand His Kingdom.
From Harrison (north of Murphysboro) to Chicago, churches that entered the Legacy Program have also seen new congregations planted at their locations. These new congregations are baptizing new Christians and are helping to ensure an enduring gospel witness in these church building locations.
Each year BFI provides customized consulting services for capital fundraising, strategic planning, and advanced developing training. If interested in these specialized services for your church, give us a call. We’ll provide you with a list of Illinois churches and organizations where we’ve served and discuss how we can best meet the need of the church in your community.
It truly is our honor to serve. On behalf of the 21 Illinois Baptist men and women who comprise our Board of Trustees, let me again say thank you for allowing us to lead in a conversation about stewardship, and how we can most honor our King by serving Him with all we manage.

Also attending: Sheila Jessen, Chase Cribbett, and Kim Morrow. Not present: Tom Slusser and David Sutton.
OPENING DEVOTION AND PRAYER: Doug Morrow, Executive Director, began his devotion by playing a video of Tim Keller, Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church. Dr. Keller was speaking to Generous Giving volunteers. He discussed the passage from Acts 20:36 where Jesus says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. In verse 25, Paul was speaking to the church saying he would never see them again. His last two admonitions included giving them the gospel and teaching them Jesus wanted them to be radically generous. In essence, Paul was saying if you truly understand the gospel you will be radically generous.
Dr. Keller pointed out Jesus warns against greed ten to twenty times in His teachings. Greed is a heart issue and where your heart is, there can be your idols. So all of us need to examine our hearts to watch out for greed and become radically generous. Doug pointed out, at the conclusion of the video, all Illinois Baptists need to hear and heed that message. Doug then prayed for the meeting and work of the BFI.
REVIEW OF LAST MEETING’S MINUTES AND ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA – David Chumley asked the Board to review the minutes of the fall meeting and called for their approval. Don Carlyle
moved they be accepted and Jean Powell seconded the motion. The minutes were approved unanimously. Next, David Chumley asked for the adoption of the agenda. Dan Huffman moved the adoption of the agenda and Dave Rochleau seconded. The Board approved the motion unanimously.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT – Doug Morrow, Executive Director, initially began his report by highlighting the new tools for the Board members to utilize on the BFI website. He felt like this type of resource would be very useful to the Trustees reviewing all the reports, minutes and financials of BFI. He stated the Standard Operating Procedure Manuel is now on the website.
Next, Doug mentioned that through the Church Legacy Program, BFI now owns ten Illinois Baptist church properties. Managing the upkeep on these properties is a tough administrative challenge for the staff at BFI. He is encouraging Trustees to consider adopting a church which would be nearby where they live and check in on the property periodically. If there are issues, report them to Doug for assistance in resolution. Doug then reviewed some slides of the current ‘adoptees’.
For those not familiar with the video titled BFI Explainer, Doug played that for the Trustees to see the overview of the work of BFI.
In the fourth quarter report, he highlighted the following: Total Assets under management stood at $43.51 million
The online estate planning tool through FreeWill.com should “go live” on the website the first quarter of 2019.
BFI ended the year with a positive cash flow of $32,324 due ISBA’s gift of $36,000 later in the quarter. This gift will be reduced $18,000 in 2019.
BFI generated $1,310,082 in endowment and custodial interest using $207,050 operational cash. Endowment support distributions in the amount of $295,936 helped churches and associations, IBSA including church planting, BCHFS, CAC, IMB, NAMB, and Scholarships. Current account holdings were reviewed as well the performance by account type. Doug then introduced the new trustees who are Nedra Robinson, Ron Closson, and Dan Huffman.
ADMINSTRATIVE COMMITTEE & RECOMMENDATIONS – Don Carlyle, Chair, presented the report of this committee, which much was covered in the Executive Director’s report including the endowment distributions, the ISBA subsidy, and FreeWill.com. He did mention that the Board Evaluation Sheets are now on the BFI website. The committee recommended a BFI Vision Leadership Fund of $20,000 be created as there is a former Trustee who match dollar for dollar up to $20,000 to hire other managers in BFI to begin educating them in succession planning and regionalization of BFI. The idea is to intern individuals and potentially groom the next Executive Director for BFI. This recommendation was approved by the Board. Trustees will be called on to assist in funding this program.
Doug suggested that it was management’s intent to develop an end of the year report to give to all BFI investors. A motion was made by Gerry Odell and seconded by Newlin Wollaston to proceed with this reporting as time permits for the BFI staff. Additionally the Board approved a
recommendation to develop an active working group of three or four Trustees to begin working on a communication strategy for BFI. The Board approved this recommendation. Finally, the committee recommended, beginning in 2020, to hold the twice yearly full Board meetings on Friday afternoons rather than Saturday mornings. A roll call vote was taken and passed 14 yeas, 4 nays, and 2 not voting. The recommendation passed.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT & RECOMMENDATIONS – Dave Rochleau, Chair, stated in his report the 2017 audit is not yet completed. He called on Chase Cribbett, from Quorum Consulting, to review a draft of the audit for the Board. Chase stated the final report would be available in two weeks. According to Chase the end of the year numbers look very good with steady growth. BFI has covered all the bond maturities and investors continue to by short-term bonds. He said he believes BFI will receive an unqualified opinion, which is the best an organization would receive from an audit. The only note to the audit will be concerning controls.
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE REPORT & RECOMMENDATIONS – Dave Rochleau, Chair, reported that the blended fund in now available for investing through BFI. Endowment funds are utilizing 10% of their assets in this new fund. There were two loan requests since the last meeting that were reviewed by the committee. Calvary Baptist had their loan close on April 5. First Corinthian is still pending for their closing. All loans (nine million) outstanding are in good order and payments are being received on time.
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE & RECOMMENDATIONS – Tim Sadler, Chair, thanked the 30 people who came and reviewed the applications. He noted that there were a total of 37 scholarships awarded with 21 going for individuals pursuing undergraduate degrees and 16 attending seminaries. There was one exception granted a child of a missionary who was home schooled and they were awarded the Bradley Trustee Scholarship Fund. The various recipient certificates were distributed to the Trustees and Tim requested all be awarded no later than the end of May.
The committee recommended a $30,000 grant for Woodstock church be allocated from the Glenfield Heritage Fund. Thurman Stewart seconded the motion from the committee chairman and the motion passed unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS – Dan Hunter thanked the Board for their prayers and support concerning the passing of his wife. He stated that gifts totaling $2,000 was given in Mrs. Hunter’s memory to the Gideons.
It was noted that gifts to the BFI Leadership Vision Fund would be due by December 10th in order to meet the challenge deadline.
ADJOURN – A motion was made by Thurman Stewart and seconded by Lea Neff to adjourn the Board meeting a 12:05pm. Newlin Wollaston closed our meeting with prayer blessing our lunch and deliberations of the BFI Board.

Ron Knox moved they be accepted and Dave Rochleau seconded the motion. The minutes were approved unanimously. David Chumley asked for the adoption of the agenda. Don Carlyle moved the adoption of the agenda and Gerry Odell seconded the motion. The Board approved the agenda unanimously.
OPENING DEVOTION AND PRAYER- Jean Powell gave a devotion based on I Corinthians 4:1-2. As faithful stewards, we should be prepared for family events and ways we can prepare them for the best use of our financial resources. She mentioned an experience with her family and her mother. They had prepared a will, but also needed to have in place a Power of Attorney. When her mother went into an assisted living facility, the POA made many of their decisions easier. As Christian stewards, we should think about having these documents in place and think about how the financial resources we have been blessed with should be used to further the kingdom of Christ. Jean led the Board in a prayer.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT- Doug Morrow, Executive Director, highlighted aspects of the Executive Director’s Report that had been distributed to the Board.
He noted that the total funds under management was now between $45-$50 million. The operating cash is currently better than the report that was distributed. In the Life Stewardship area, the Foundation is advising in eight areas. They are: 1) Budget and Margin Creation, 2) Debt Elimination, 3) Savings and Investments, 4) Taxation 5) Life Insurance 6) Testamentary Wealth Transfer 7) Incapacity Planning, and 8)Generosity and Giving.
The Foundation had awarded scholarships to 37 students this year.
In the area of custodial savings and investing, BFI manages 1300 accounts. In the area of consulting, BFI currently has two engagements. There are now 60 currents loans which represent $11.5 million to churches throughout Illinois. There have been 22 congregations go through our Church Legacy program. Doug highlighted Maplewood Park in Cahokia where the building was flipped to another congregation in 30 days. Forty five days later 15 people were baptized. Harrison in Murphysboro was replanted to Grove Baptist Church, which is growing, and had four recent baptisms. Doug also highlighted that the Vail Brothers had given their farm to BFI to support IBSA and the Baptist Children’s Home.
The 2019 Budget through three quarters shows zero subsidy from IBSA. In the 2020 Budget, BFI revenues will begin charging churches a 1.0% loan origination fee. BFI will not be carrying a lot of cash on the books, but move it to money market fund. Next year now shows an operating loss of $7,000. Doug’s salary will be frozen, but there will be an increase for staff salaries. Health care costs continue to rise. There will probably be a need to utilize contract clerical staff to assist Shelia and the audit fee will be $15,000.
Doug mentioned he will be using his 30 day sabbatical to work through Indiana Wesleyan in their program to become a Kingdom Advisor and CFP®. He also discussed the next Board meeting would be held on Friday, March 13th. Doug also mentioned the upcoming IBSA convention where BFI will distribute Bill Wiedman’s 3,000 books from his library. Finally, he mentioned the Vision Leadership fund was at $18,000 with the goal of $20,000 to obtain the full match.
2018 FINANCIAL AUDIT UPDATE – Lauren Groff from Sikich Audit gave a presentation about the 2018 audit process. After introducing the Sikich staff, she covered the areas that would be presented to the Board which included net asset classifications, improving disclosures, assessing liquidity, their communication to the Board, the audit plan, the final fieldwork, the focus and the most recent technical update. Don Wienhoff from Quorum Consulting discussed his role in assisting in preparing the documents which will be needed by Sikich for their audit. He will also work to get an understanding how Trinergy works in order to prepare the documents for the audit. Doug will be investigating a solution to replace Trinergy when its contract expires at the end of next year.
ADMINSTRATIVE COMMITTEE – Don Carlyle, Chair, recommended the following from the Administrative Committee:
1) BFI owned farm management policy to increase the management fee from 2.5% to 10%.
2) Presented the 2020 budget.
3) BFI would replace Doug’s automobile with at Honda CRV at a cost of $25,635.00.
4) Kent Renshaw was approved as the new legal counsel for BFI.
5) A 30 day sabbatical for Doug was recommended.
6) The funds for Vision Leadership will be used to hire four management interns.
7) Under IBSA/BFI agreement, there will be zero funding from IBSA.
8) Allow employees the option to open a Roth IRA at no cost to BFI.
All of the above recommendations were approved by the Board.
As a matter of information, the spring board meeting will be Friday, March 13th and the fall board meeting will be Friday, October 2nd.
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE- Dave Rochleau noted the following highlights from the Investment Committee. BFI is utilizing more ‘dividend aristocrats’ in our investments to improve our yield. A loan for Mount Carmel was approved. Two loans, one for New Vision and one for I Corinthian Church, were not approved. BFI had one church not performing on its loan, but it is now caught up and is current.
Craig Metz, from the Bank of Springfield, discussed continuing to work for a 5% yield on some of BFI investments and this due to the careful addition of some equities to our investments.
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE – Tim Sadler, Chair, gave his report which included:
1) A policy needed to be developed for evaluating applicants who are home schooled.
2) The committee will be working on a communication plan to increase donations to the scholarship fund.
3) Scholarship evaluations in 2020 will be held on March 6th.
4) The committee recommended that the Annual Christian Service Grant be awarded to Mosaic Church in Highland for $1,500. This church has grown from 23 to 500 members and has worked to develop three church plants. The Board approved this recommendation.
TRUSTEE WORKSHEET AND BOARD SELF-EVALUALTION, RESULTS OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EVALUATION – Ted Zimmerman, Board Chair, noted that a report had been sent out about the Board Self-Evaluation. He asked the Administrative Committee to review and research cybersecurity for BFI. The Board went into Executive Session to review the results of the Executive Director’s evaluation.

1. Indemnification in Actions other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the Right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
2. Indemnification in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the Right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
3. Right to Payment of Expenses. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
4. Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of trustees who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (c) by the members entitled to vote, if any.
5. Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Trustees in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
6. Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of members or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article.
Only the Association in annual session shall authorize the dissolution or merger of the Corporation. As a wholly owned, single member organization of the Illinois Baptist State Association (IBSA), if
dissolved, all net assets and all contractual or fiduciary obligations of the Corporation become the property or responsibility of IBSA.
By passing this Article, the IBSA agrees to accept all assets and all contractual or fiduciary obligations of the Corporation upon dissolution of the Corporation by the Association.
These Bylaws may be amended by a vote of the Association in annual session, and the submission and approval of any amendments shall follow the same procedures required to amend the governing documents of the Association. The Bylaws may contain any provisions for the regulation and management of the affairs of the Corporation not inconsistent with law or the Articles of Incorporation.
Recently, I ran across a Baptist Children’s Home newsletter from August of 1959. On one of the pages, this little poem was printed:
The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop, At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own; live, Love, toil with a will; Place no faith in tomorrow, for the clock may then be still.
- Christian VictoryThis poem reminds us that life is short. Yet, isn’t it interesting that some 60 years from the printing of this poem in the Baptist Children’s Home newsletter and many thousands of lives later, we still see the work of the One who does hold tomorrow, the One in whom we can place our faith!
As is our custom, this Annual Report brings to you a simple overview of the previous year. It is worth noting that 2018 was a year of celebration at the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services. We celebrated 100 years of God’s work through this ministry. A hundred years is more than a lifetime for us, but not even a fraction of a second for the Holder of time. 2018 was also noteworthy because we served more individuals last year than in any other year in our history.
My objective with this report, however, is that you will not only see what the ministry has done in the past, but more importantly, that you will continue to engage with BCHFS to see how God plans to use this ministry in the future.
I have heard statements that maybe the “time” for BCHFS is up. After all, there are many ministries that have come and gone. Even from a secular viewpoint, there is a national emphasis to end residential care for children and adolescents. Maybe on some level these thoughts are worth considering. However, for the 1,953 people whose lives were touched in 2018 by your ministry (again - the most served ever in one single year) at BCHFS, God seems to demonstrate His transcendence over human perceptions. He reminds us of His sovereignty in how He continues to choose to do His work. All this is evidenced by the lives we see changed through His work in this ministry. The stories that God has written
Over the years, needs have changed and the ministry at BCHFS has adapted and prayerfully considered how to meet those needs. Whether it was moving from orphan-care only to caring for abused, neglected or behaviorally challenged children; or moving from just being pro-life in our beliefs to creating a ministry at Angels’ Cove which assists young women in birthing and keeping their baby; or whether it was a change from simply caring for children without families (orphans) to helping create new
forever families through the adoption ministry at BCHFS; or whether it was creating a pathway from just serving the physical and spiritual needs of children to a holistic ministry through Pathways Counseling serving people of all ages; BCHFS has demonstrated an ability to adapt while remaining true to our Mission. Our clock is not yet stilled!
Recently, I had an encounter with a middle-aged lady that touched me in a deep, convicting way. A profound emotion erupted inside of her that left me speechless and in need of repentance for my own apathy.
I saw this lady in tears after a service addressing various issues including the Sanctity of Life. She was crying profusely, and I asked if I could help her. In that moment of brokenness, she erupted with a justified emotional anger wanting to know why we would allow “the babies” to be killed. “Why”, she asked me, “would anyone think it is OK to kill the (unborn) babies. Jesus loves them (as she pointed to her Bible); I love them,” she said. Then she went on to sternly instruct me of my responsibility. She said to me, “You tell them to stop!”
It was hard for me to hold back my own tears. Though I felt her simple but intense astonishment and righteous anger at people who stand for the “killing of the babies,” in that moment, I could not give her a clear or even adequate response. This encounter impressed on me two things – first, that my faith should be that simple, focused and intense. Secondly, I came to understand that I too need a righteous anger - I need to be mad at how we have fallen for the lies of the deceiver. I did indeed need to “tell them to stop.”
God has called this ministry (and me as your leader) to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. As you read this article and the included information in our annual report, I hope you also take away a small glimpse of our movement forward. I have prayed for God’s forgiveness for taking the quiet approach to the atrocities around us. The problem is hard hearts, hatred for the Gospel, and a disdain for all that is good. The problem is ultimately sin and the father of lies is responsible. Jesus is the only answer!!
This encounter brought me to a more urgent understanding that this ministry must continue standing in the gap of the failures of our society. We must continue to promote God’s plan for His creations and biblical truth, while serving any and all who need to see the mercy and grace of God and be introduced to hope in Jesus Christ.
For God’s glory, this ministry will be steadfast in our message AND our work to demonstrate that ALL human life has value to God, as He is the one who determines the value of His creations. Moving forward, as long as the LORD allows me to humbly but firmly serve Him in this life, we will work to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. BCHFS will continue to serve the orphaned and the widowed, while also loudly promoting the value of human life and the need for a Savior to a lost world.
Our hour is not up! Though my clock may be stilled at any moment, the clock is not yet stilled for the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services. God is working in your ministry at BCHFS. Will you join Him in his work and serve with us?
“...This ministry must continue standing in the gap of the failure of our society.”

1. Indemnification in Actions other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the Right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
2. Indemnification in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the Right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
3. Right to Payment of Expenses. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
4. Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of trustees who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (c)by the members entitled to vote, if any.
5. Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Trustees in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay
such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
6. Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of members or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article.
Only the Association in annual session shall authorize the dissolution or merger of the Corporation. As a wholly owned, single member organization of the Illinois Baptist State Association (IBSA), if dissolved, all net assets and all contractual or fiduciary obligations of the Corporation become the property or responsibility of IBSA.
