CONSTITUTION

Illinois Baptist State Association

Complete document approved November 12, 2015

Updates approved November 4, 2021

INTRODUCTION

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.

ARTICLE II

NATURE AND PURPOSE

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.

ARTICLE III

DOCTRINE

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.

ARTICLE IV

MEMBERSHIP

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 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.

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.

Section 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.

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.

Section 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 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.

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.

Section 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.

President’s

Report

Heath Tibbetts

2020 was the year of “next man up”, a common sports philosophy that refuses to quit when players are lost unexpectedly. IBSA churches have been displaying that “next man up” attitude throughout the pandemic. Our churches at moments felt no bigger than the few people figuring out how to do online services, or the previously filled sanctuaries now with scattered worshippers throughout the room. But Illinois Baptists kept stepping up into new and unexpected opportunities and the church is still here!

Last year’s annual meeting faced its own struggles. We finalized plans to hold an inperson gathering, only to lose our IBSA president, Sammy Simmons, to covid quarantine days before the meeting. As your vice-president during that time, it was my privilege to not only step into the role, but to see how our entire IBSA staff rallied to support me and the gathered effort.

As Sammy accepted a call to begin serving with NAMB early in 2021, it was “next man up.” I dedicated myself to the responsibility of stepping in as a servant and encourager to our IBSA churches and staff. I’ve seen firsthand the dedicated efforts of our IBSA family. I’ve prayed with and for ministers around our state, encouraged by their efforts to not only regather, but to regroup for greater impact in the communities God has placed them in.

As we close the year, my hope is that we go beyond simple thankfulness that we’re alive, but adopt a desire to thrive! In the midst of worldwide challenges, the church has been challenged to rethink the way we do church. It’s easy to fulfill the weekly schedule of activities while wondering how well we have ministered. May this year’s annual meeting be a time of encouragement as you see all the ministry that has continued during the pandemic. Be intentional during this time to connect with fellow laborers among IBSA churches and staff. We are better together and those relationships remind us that we are not alone As the people of God, may we call the lost to come alive in Christ, and the alive to thrive!

Maranatha, Heath Tibbetts

HISTORICAL COMMITTEE REPORT

The Historical Committee met on March 23, 2021, virtually. Assigned tasks and responsibilities were reviewed.

Nate Adams reported on the progress of returning the IBSA historical library and archives to their renovated space in the lower level of the IBSA Building, after a sewer backup in the fall of 2020 required the removal of everything in that space. No items were damaged, but the pipe that needed to be replaced was below the floor of the room where the historical library and archives are housed Volunteers Susan Full and Deb Bier have worked tirelessly since that time to restore the contents of the room to their newly renovated space

IBSA Executive Director Nate Adams reviewed the status of the timeline project. A lengthy list of important dates and events in IBSA history has been compiled. A task list was presented to the committee to help move this project along with a deadline of July 31, 2021. After this date, the rest of the work will be turned over to the IBSA Staff for completion.

In recent years there have been inquiries about various monuments and markers related to Illinois Baptist history. To aid in monitoring their physical condition and to answer inquiries more easily, the committee is compiling a list and set of photographs of such monuments.

Resolutions and Christian Life Committee Report

The Committee met March 23 and June 29 to discuss potential resolutions to be presented at the 2021 IBSA Annual Meeting and assigned topics to members. The Committee then reviewed drafted resolutions during its September 16 meeting.

The Committee recommends the following resolutions for vote at the 2021 IBSA Annual Meeting. Any additional resolutions by messengers are to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 3. The Committee will meet to discuss any newly submitted resolutions, and either prepare those resolutions for presentation and vote at the Thursday afternoon session or recommend that they be referred to the 2022 Resolutions and Christian Life Committee for further consideration.

Resolution on the Equality Act

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), the following statements demonstrate our unity and agreement with sister SBC churches in opposition to the Equality Act, approved in resolution by messengers to the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.

WHEREAS, Scripture teaches that all people are created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), are designed to worship Him (Isaiah 43:7), and, established upon these veracities, hold fundamental gravity; and

WHEREAS, God’s plan was the creation of two separate sexes, male and female (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4), which define the essential distinction that God has rooted in the very ecology of the human race; and

WHEREAS, The Bible provides us clear directives and confines concerning what comprises God-honoring expression of human sexuality (Genesis 2:24; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Romans 1:26-27); and

WHEREAS, Southern Baptists resolved in 2014 “On Transgender Identity” that, “The Fall of man into sin and God’s subsequent curse have introduced brokenness and futility into God’s good creation,” and therefore; as a result, some are allured to question God’s gift of sexuality; and

WHEREAS, The Equality Act seeks to modify the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by addition of prohibition of discrimination on the base of sexual orientation or gender identity; and

WHEREAS, The First Amendment of the Constitution prohibits Congress from crafting any law forbidding the free exercise of religion; and

WHEREAS, as stated in the 2021 SBC Resolution and adopted by the 2021 SBC messengers, “Congressman Chuck Schumer and Senator Ted Kennedy wrote that “governments should not substantially burden religious exercise without compelling justification” in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), which President

Bill Clinton signed into law after the act passed with prodigious bipartisan support in the Congress;” and

WHEREAS, If ratified, the Equality Act would overtly reject RFRA claims concerning the Equality Act and would openly authorize the government to place significant afflictions upon religious exercise without having to validate any persuasive justification to do so; and

WHEREAS, This change in the significance of the right to free exercise enjoyed by all Americans, if it were to take place, would bring far-reaching and historic alterations to religious liberty with demoralizing effects to this foundational freedom; and

WHEREAS, Faith-based charities whose fundamental religious beliefs about human dignity, sexuality, gender, and marriage shape their ministry policies would be required under the Equality Act to choose between freely exercising those fundamental religious beliefs or deserting their ministries; and

WHEREAS, This type of lawmaking castigation against faith-based charities for serving the common good according to their valued beliefs would be unparalleled; and,

WHEREAS, The Equality Act would force healthcare providers to partake in and provide abortions, hormone therapies, and other procedures which may defy their genuinely held religious beliefs; and

WHEREAS, The Equality Act would emasculate the bipartisan, nearly half-century-old Hyde Amendment, which preserves federal taxpayer dollars from funding abortion; and

WHEREAS, The Equality Act would challenge decades of hard-fought civil rights safeguards for women and girls by threatening competition in sports and ignoring the privacy concerns women justly have concerning sharing sleeping accommodations and intimate amenities with members of the opposite sex; and

WHEREAS, By departure from our foundations of municipal forbearance, this acrimonious legislation would undermine the capability of Americans who differ in belief to work together for the communal good; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting in Springfield, Illinois, November 3-4, 2021, spread love and benevolence to those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender and invite all members of this community to trust in Christ and to experience regeneration in the gospel; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we declare that Christ offers forgiveness of sin for those who turn from their sins and believe on Christ; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we believe efficient Gospel ministry to persons who consider themselves part of the LGBTQ community necessitates that we speak to them and concerning them with respect and Christlike love while holding resolutely to our biblical principles on these issues, and be it further

RESOLVED, That we, therefore, embolden our fellow Illinois Baptist State Association messengers to engage dialogue of the Equality Act and interrelated matters with this in mind; and be it further

RESOLVED, That we vigorously contest the Equality Act and desire Congress to rebuff this treacherous legislation, which epitomizes one of the paramount dangers to religious liberty in our nation’s history; and be it finally

RESOLVED, That we uphold the role of churches in providing compassionate care, biblical truth, and invigorating hope to men, women, and children, irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity, while jubilantly celebrating God’s good purpose in sexuality as clearly conveyed in Scripture.

Resolution on the Sufficiency of Scripture for Racial Reconciliation

WHEREAS, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us, "All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work,” and

WHEREAS, Genesis 1:27 states "God created man in his own image;” and

WHEREAS, Acts 17:26 states "From one man God has made every nationality to live over the whole earth,” and

WHEREAS, Galatians 3:26-28 reminds us "Through faith we are all sons of God in Christ Jesus...There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female, since you are all one in Christ Jesus,” and

WHEREAS, Romans 12:18 clearly states "If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone;” and

WHEREAS, Revelation 7:9 states "After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every Nation, Tribe, People and language which no one could number standing before the throne and before the Lamb;” now therefore, be it

RESOLVED, Messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting in Springfield, Illinois November 3-4, 2021 affirm the sufficiency of Scripture on race and racial reconciliation; and be it therefore

RESOLVED, We reaffirm our agreement with biblically faithful Southern Baptist condemnations of racism in all forms; and be it further

RESOLVED, We reaffirm the Scriptural truth that all persons are made in the image and likeness of God, and are therefore worthy of respect, dignity, and opportunity; and be it further

RESOLVED, We affirm the primary human problem is sin against God, which manifests in all aspects of human brokenness, including racism, oppression, and discrimination; and be it further

RESOLVED, We affirm the ultimate solution for the sins of racism, oppression, and discrimination is in repentance and forgiveness of sin, found and proclaimed in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and be it finally

RESOLVED, We affirm that through reconciliation with Christ, we as Illinois Baptists seek to promote healing and unity in our world by standing together against racism, oppression, and discrimination in all their forms and expressions.

Resolution on the Church’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

WHEREAS, The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to nearly every institution, including churches, in Illinois, across the U.S., and around the world, and forced many congregations to temporarily suspend in person gatherings; and

WHEREAS, Churches of the Illinois Baptist State Association (IBSA) made numerous pivots to address new and urgent needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic, both in their congregations and in their communities, and to support first responders and healthcare workers with prayer, encouragement, and material supplies; and

WHEREAS, Pastors and church leaders were called to balance competing priorities, including the Scriptural mandate not to neglect meeting together (Hebrews 10:25), the commands to love God and love our neighbors (Mark 12:30-31), and the call to submit to governing authorities (Romans 13:1), as well as the desire to protect and promote public health; and

WHEREAS, The Covid-19 pandemic has brought to light new questions concerning religious liberty, especially as it relates to the restrictions placed on church gatherings compared to those placed on businesses and other organizations; and some congregations in the U.S. have been treated differently and therefore unfairly, particularly related to reopening, compared to the other establishments in their communities; and

WHEREAS, We as Christians trust in Christ’s statement that while life will bring trouble; we can take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33) and our faith and hope are in God (1 Peter 1:21); now therefore, be it

RESOLVED, IBSA churches are urged to continue defending the protections granted in the U.S. Constitution for our houses of worship and others, committing to stand firm on our calling as Christ’s church while seeking peaceful resolution when conflicts arise; and be it further

RESOLVED, IBSA churches are urged to continue seeking new ways to serve in our communities with urgent needs, health concerns, and with new and difficult circumstances brought by the pandemic, and those who do not yet know Christ, always giving reason for the hope we have in him (1 Peter 3:15); and be it further

RESOLVED, We as an IBSA family of churches are urged to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3), acknowledging that the differences of opinions and practices revealed during the pandemic do not exceed our shared faith and calling in Christ, and be it finally

RESOLVED, IBSA churches are urged to continue to pray fervently for an end to the pandemic, for the healing and restoration for those who are sick, for those who have suffered loss, for medical professionals and first responders that have been serving on the front lines, and for the Lord’s continued transforming work through every circumstance, trusting in the God who is making all things new (Revelation 21:5).

Resolution on the 50th Anniversary of IBSA’s Move to Springfield

WHEREAS, 2021 marks fifty years since the Illinois Baptist State Association staff and offices relocated from Carbondale to Springfield, Illinois; and

WHEREAS, The IBSA Building was first dedicated to the service of the Lord and to Illinois Baptist churches on November 11, 1971 at the IBSA Annual Meeting held in Springfield, Illinois, which is also the site of the 2021 meeting; and

WHEREAS, Visionary Baptist leaders in the 1960s saw growing spiritual need in the vast mission fields all across Illinois following the attention of two national Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meetings in Chicago in the preceding years, and

WHEREAS, The relocation of IBSA offices to Springfield represented a bold, missional move toward expanding the reach and ministries of Baptist churches throughout the state, and toward making the IBSA staff and services more accessible to all member churches; and

WHEREAS, The prime location, size and quality of facilities, and continued renovations and beautification of the IBSA Building located at the prominent corner of Stevenson and Dirksen have served IBSA churches well for the past half century, and given Illinois Baptists an attractive and positive witness to both the Springfield community and to visitors from around the state, nation, and world; now therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the messengers meeting at the November 3-4, 2021 IBSA Annual Meeting in Springfield commend the vision and stewardship of IBSA’s leaders who undertook the many challenges of moving the IBSA offices to Springfield; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the churches, board, and staff of IBSA are to be congratulated for so carefully maintaining and updating the IBSA Building over these fifty years, and are encouraged to continue stewarding this facility for the glory of God, and for the benefit and gospel mission of IBSA churches for many years to come.

Chairman of the IBSA Board of Directors’ Report

Andy DeWitt

The past couple of years have provided the IBSA Board the opportunity to adjust and be creative is carrying out its responsibilities. We’ve met virtually the past four Board meetings. Only a few years ago, who could have anticipated that we would “go virtual” in attending to the tasks for which the IBSA Board is responsible. Nevertheless, IBSA staff and our Board members adjusted well to the new format, and from the Chair’s perspective, the meetings went smoothly.

During the spring meeting, the Board was introduced to IBSA’s Vision Frame. This is a shift from the past when churches and associations were more program driven. Today, it seems expedient to be process driven. The mission of our State Association is to “Deliver network values that inspires each church to thrive in health, growth, and mission.” The supportive values are: “At IBSA, we value measurable Excellence for the churches, delivered in practical Helpfulness to churches, that inspires cooperative Engagement with churches, and leads to Gospel Advance through churches.

The ReFocus revitalization process is off to a great start. Some 40 churches have expressed interest and becoming involved in the process. In addition, several local associations are also looking to participate in revitalization. Revitalization will be a major emphasis for years to come as Illinois Baptists seek to continue to minister and spread the good news of Jesus in an everchanging culture.

I personally wish to thank the 2021 IBSA Board for their work and involvement in making the Illinois Baptist State Association one of the best state conventions. Nate, and the IBSA staff do incredible work in our state. I’m also grateful to the chairs of the three committees of the Board: to Jay Simala, Strategic Planning Committee; Josh Bledsoe, Resource Development Committee; and Bob Dyer, Administrative Committee and to the members of these committees.

Please continue to pray for our Executive Director, the IBSA Staff, and the proposed new IBSA Board officers for 2022. The Chair is Jeff Logsdon, Vice Chair Bruce Kirk, and Secretary Terry Foster. And continue to pray for and encourage IBSA pastors and churches. This is a great state association and with God’s grace it will continue to be.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Illinois Baptist State Association

Dr. Nate Adams

The IBSA Board of Directors approved four major goals for 2021, 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 Evangelistic 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 corresponding metrics, many of which cannot be fully reported until after year-end 2021 Annual Church Profile data is available from churches in January 2022 The Coronavirus pandemic that immersed the country and world throughout most of 2020, and that has continued into most of 2021, has had several negative impacts on these goals and metrics, but some positive.

By the end of 2021, 9 to 12 new church plants are anticipated (14 new churches were planted in 2020, and 11 in in 2019), and about 65 church plants are in some stage of development. In addition, 16 new churches are being recommended for affiliation at the 2021 IBSA Annual Meeting, up from 12 in 2020. Baptisms in IBSA churches were down 42% in 2020, after being down only 3% in 2019, and up 6.8% in 2018. And while continued travel restrictions and health concerns continue to restrict the number of mission trips possible in 2021, 1,307 individuals and 304 churches have engaged in at least 29 IBSA-coordinated missions projects through August. During a year when several disaster relief ministries have been somewhat restricted, volunteers have pivoted to a food distribution ministry that has served thousands in need during the various pressures of the Coronavirus pandemic.

IBSA’s two camps properties, Lake Sallateeska and Streator Baptist Camps, had forced sabbaticals for most of 2020, due to state-mandated Coronavirus restrictions and safety precautions. But attendance at both camps has rebounded thus far in 2021 to about half to two-thirds of 2019 levels.

2021 marks the 50th year of IBSA in Springfield and the 50th anniversary of the IBSA Building on the corner of Dirksen and Stevenson. A special celebration of that milestone is planned during the 2021 IBSA Annual meeting, which is being held in Springfield, as it was when the building was first dedicated in November 1971.

In spite of this year’s ongoing Coronavirus pandemic restrictions, IBSA will again surpass its goal of having more than 600 pastors and leaders involved in leadership development events and groups (635 through August) In addition to these leadership development efforts, 4,980 individuals from 429 churches have participated in one or more of IBSA’s training offerings through August The Midwest Leadership Summit, planned by 9 cooperating Midwest Baptist state conventions every two or three years, will again by hosted by IBSA in Springfield in January 2022, with more than 1,100 participants anticipated.

In 2020 IBSA began a new church revitalization ministry, under the leadership of Scott Foshie. Our goals in this area involve enlisting both pastors and churches in separate self-assessment processes, and then beginning relationships through trained coaches that may lead to more intensive revitalization process with certified pathfinders. Many pastors found it necessary to postpone their plans for revitalization processes in 2020 due to pandemic-related needs such as virtual worship services, online giving, and the requirements of socially distant ministry. Still, through August of 2021, 57 pastors and 47 churches have completed a revitalization readiness assessment. And 33 churches and 14 Illinois Associations are actively participating in a revitalization strategy.

Year-end measurements of missions giving from churches will not be available until Annual Church Profiles are compiled in early 2022. Through September, however, Cooperative Program giving is up 5% over 2020, though still 5% below 2019’s pre-pandemic level. Mission Illinois Offering receipts through August are up compared to the previous year by an encouraging 41%, though most churches receive the MIO offering in September and October

The 2021 IBSA Budget anticipates a return in CP giving to $6.2 million by year-end, and a draw on up to $500,000 in reserves as necessary. However, through August 2021 only $109,000 in reserves have been needed.

While face-to-face contact has continued to be a challenge in 2021, IBSA staff have made a concerted effort to connect with and engage pastors and churches in 2021, through phone, e-mail, webinars, town halls, and videoconferencing. Through August, our staff has had direct contact with 65% of IBSA churches, with a goal of reaching at least 85% by the end of the year. And for the fourth time in five years, The Illinois Baptist was again named top Christian Newspaper by the Evangelical Press Association.

IBSA continues to be engaged in an ongoing, 3-year strategic planning process with consultants from Denominee that is scheduled to run through 2022. This is in partnership with the North American Mission Board, who is also subsidizing Denominee’s consultation with 8 other Baptist state conventions. One significant outcome of this process for IBSA is a new mission statement, which is to “Deliver network value that inspires each church to thrive, in health, growth, and mission.”

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.

Nate noted that nearly every ACP category was down for 2020 because of COVID. He explained a few anomalies in the reported data. Nate reported while giving was down in 2020, giving had rebounded so far in 2021 to a level closer to 2019.

IBSA churches have been resilient. 15 churches in danger of closing their doors were given grants totaling $41,000.00. CP giving was down 12%, MIO giving was down 15%, and undesignated giving was down < 3%.

IBSA was able to navigate the budget shortfall through reduced spending and through the aid of the CARES Act’s PPP funding.

The meeting was called to order by David Grove, Chairman, at 10:10 am. He thanked Springfield Southern Church for hospitality.

Opening Devotion and Prayer

Doug Morrow reminded participants of the Treasure Principle mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 6:19-21. He submitted that this is the central teaching of Jesus, often echoed by later New Testament writers. Doug equaled “the moth and rust” destruction of treasures in this passage, to the depreciation and the “passing away” of earthly securities. However, investing in Christian Kingdom causes is not only investing in “assets” that are appreciating, but also investing in the destination of permanence to which we are moving closer, every day. This principle is crucial because one’s investments are shaping one’s affections. Doug exemplified this point by briefly contrasting two interaction of Jesus from Luke 18 and 19.In Luke 18, Jesus met with the rich young ruler, who was accustomed to living by the rules and checking-in boxes. But he missed the stewardship and generosity invitation of Christ, and therefore missed salvation. By contrast, Zacheus, the tax collector from Luke 19, embraced the generosity and stewardship principle, and he was welcomed by Christ into His kingdom. Doug concluded by leading the Board in prayer.

Review of the last meeting’s minutes and adoption of the agenda

The Fall meeting minutes were read by Mihaela Sexton, Board Secretary. David Grove, Chairman, called for the approval of the minutes from the Fall meeting, as well as the Agenda for the Spring meeting. A motion was made by Newlin Wollaston and seconded by Ron Knox. The motion passed unanimously.

Executive Director’s Report

Doug Morrow started his report by pointing to the BFI Dashboard, located on the Trustees’ intranet, and which captures a snapshot of all the areas of activity at BFI. He pointed to the value of Assets under Management (AUM) of $52.5 million at the end of the 4th quarter of 2020. He mentioned that due to the financial climate of 2020, the investment committee had to meet several times throughout the year to decide diversification in investments and adjustments in allocation limits of the different pool components. This flexibility kept BFI in a good position with a 3.99% yield in the Long-Term Fixed Income Investment pool (8.2% TR) and a total return of 14.2% in the Blended pool.

Next, Doug introduced Shannon Jones, from partner Bank of Springfield, who presented a new analytic tool she and her team developed for BFI: the Global Account Investment Dashboard. This complex tool is required by the uniqueness of BFI’s financial activity with its many components (loans, investments, bank debenture) and allows careful monitoring of fund allocations per correct parameters. The Global Account Investment Dashboard is currently being updated manually by Shannon’s team on a quarterly basis. There was a discussion regarding the availability of this tool to the Board and/or investors. Due to the fact that this is a live document with a high level of technical details, this tool is currently available to the Trustees of the Investment committee. At the request of Chairman David Grove, Doug explained the term “bank debenture” as a different type of bond which purchases bank debt. The current earning for the BOS bank debenture that BFI purchased is 6.5%, accrued quarterly. It is a low-risk investment due to the financial health of BOS and it is a “win-win” solution for both BFI (due to its earnings, currently much higher than the corporate, or municipal bonds) and BOS (where it can be reported as assets and therefore increase their loan capacity).

Doug continued his report with a couple of examples of Individual Legacy Custodial Investment accounts for Earl and Marcella Cannedy and June Slaton, both members of Calvary Church in Alton. Doug pointed out that upon the death of these clients, their assets came under management and BFI was in the unique position to administer the legacy of these families, according to the client’s exact desires and very specific requests.

Ken Steward, part-time Assistant Director, was then invited to present a few examples of Church Legacy accounts and their recent opportunities and challenges. It is the desire of BFI to see most of the church properties in the Church Legacy program continue to be used as churches. In that regard, Ken mentioned Heartland Caseyville Church which was recently purchased by Citadel Deliverance Temple (through a reverted asset loan with BFI) and South Pekin which will transfer to New Hope Baptist in the near future. Maintaining the properties in the Church Legacy program is not without challenges - but BFI partnered with Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams to repair water leak damages in East Side, Mt Vernon and a heater failure in Eagle Summit, Colona, thus enabling the Congolese congregation of Maranatha Revival, who is space-sharing in Colona, to return to worship.

The bulk of Doug’s presentation was centered on three strategic items that he brought before the Board and for which he asked for guidance and feedback.

First strategic item was the situation of the BFI owned property of Paradise Church in Tamaroa. This is a beautiful property appraised at $89,000, for which BFI sought a new church plant for several

years, without success. BFI was also approached in the past by prospective buyers, but the offers were considered too low for the value of the property. Seeking to find a godly purpose for this building, BFI initiated discussions with the Baptist Children’s Home, the Franklin Association and the Nine Mile Association in order to establish a Baptist Center, where BFI and these organizations would have satellite offices, sharing in the cost of improving and maintaining the property. This initiative was previously discussed during the 03/19/2021 Administrative Committee meeting, and the Committee approved the project and the spending of a maximum of $15,000 of BFI reserves for the initial remodel. However, now Doug has submitted that he has received a new purchase offer for the property for the amount of $50,000, which he considered acceptable in value. The prospective buyer is a person with previous ties to the church and who would use the space to open a local heritage museum and offices. This was considered an honorable function for the property, in the absence of a church plant. Doug sought feedback and advice from the Board. From the discussion resulted that selling the Paradise, Tamaroa property would be the most prudent decision, since there was not yet any definite commitment/agreement from the other organizations to the project of a Baptist Center. In addition, the establishing of the Baptist Center and the initial remodel would require a considerable managerial effort, not justified by the benefit of a BFI satellite office used only seldomly.

The second strategic item brought up by Doug was the need for a new, more sophisticated software which would address BFIs accounts complexities in real time, allowing for daily reconciliations of all securities and an interface with Charles Schwab. Doug mentioned that this will be a major item for discussion on the Fall Board meeting agenda. Currently BFI uses software from Trinergy with a contract for $15,000 annually, which expires in 3 years, and has no buy-out option, other than paying the $45,000 remaining. However, the present software cannot handle accurately the dynamic activity of the multiple-component funds, which have to be reconciled manually on a monthly basis. Doug is considering using a different software company, HWA International Trust Processor, from Tennessee, which is servicing other Baptist associations and promises to be able to deliver the required features. A major demonstration of the new software is set up for Tuesday, April 13, 2021. Tonya Downard and Doug will be present for the demonstration. The benefits of the new software, as pointed by Doug, Tonya and Tim Sadler would be improved accuracy, improved customer satisfaction and streamlining of operational workload for staff, which would allow both Doug and Sheila to work on growth acceleration. The cost of the new software is $90,000 for the first year, followed by $21,000 annually. The Board asked Doug to enquire if HWA would consider amortizing the first year cost, over a period of several years, if HWA would do a buy-out from Trinergy in BFI’s behalf, or if some type of specialized contract can be worked out with HWA. Advice was given to start saving now for the initial cost needed potentially in 2025. Doug was asked if BFI could accept a donation restricted to the purchase of software and his answer was affirmative.

Before the third item was mentioned, the BFI staff was temporarily invited out of the meeting. The third strategic issue was the need for increased operational help, which Doug suggested could be solved by elevating Ken Steward’s position from part-time assistant Director to full-time Assistant Director, starting May 1st, 2021. In addition to his current role, Ken would work in the office several days a week and learn all the operational workflows that are currently performed by Sheila. This will allow for a thorough understanding of operations for Ken, making him a better manager in the future. It will also provide the expertise overlap needed for Sheila’s time off and which does not currently exist. Doug submitted that the increase in the Assistant Director’s salary and benefits will be funded for a year from the Vision fund, which sits currently at $52,000. For subsequent years, the increase in salary could be funded by an increase of $5.00 millions in AUM, which is estimated by Doug as achievable. Newlin Wollaston, BFI Board Vice-chair commented that this is a positive step in the direction of instituting legacy and continuity in the BFI management for the future. Several trustees who knew Ken, while he was working for the Baptist Children Home, made positive remarks about Ken’s

abilities. Doug mentioned that Ken has clear aptitude for the Church Legacy program and that the Board could trust that there will be competent continuity in the area of BFI’s management of operations, upon Doug’s retirement. It was also mentioned that with the ending of Caitlin Glick’s term as an intern, the internship program will be discontinued, but it might resume in 6-7 years.

The BFI staff was invited back in the meeting and Ken was made aware of his position’s elevation to full-time starting May 1st, 2021.

Doug offered special recognition and words of thanks for the work that Caitlin Glick has done as in intern with BFI. Upon her graduation from Hannibal-LaGrange University, she will be joining the Navy.

Administrative Committee Report and Recommendations

The report was presented by Don Carlyle, Chair. During the Administrative Committee meeting from 3/19/2021 the following items were discussed:

● the need to revise / update the current BFI-IBSA Cooperative Agreement before our Fall BFI Board Meeting

● the need for maintaining quality standards for BFI Board of Trustees members

● the updated BFI Employee Handbook was approved by the committee, and it is now available on the Trustees’ intranet. Don Carlyle moved to have the updated BFI Employee Handbook approved by the Board. It passed unanimously.

● the BFI owned property Paradise, Tamaroa, as mentioned above in Doug’s Report

● permission for Doug to work with IBSA Constitution Committee in order to change the wording of article XI of BFI Bylaws. The current wording requires both the BFI Executive Director and BFI Board Chair signatures for the sale of BFI properties, slowing this process down. Doug argued that the move and disposition of assets is BFI’s core business, therefore an exemption should be permissible. To change the language of Bylaws is a two-year process. Don Carlyle submitted a motion to affirm Doug’s seeking the wording change. It passed unanimously.

● the need for new software as mentioned above in Doug’s Report

The Board paused for lunch at 12:15 and reconvened at 12:45. Board Chairman, David Grove, asked all present trustees to fill out and sign the “Conflict of Interest Policy Disclosure” and, if needed, the “BFI Reimbursement/Donation Request”.

Investment Committee Report and Recommendations

David Rochleau, Chair, gave the following informational report: The Investment Committee met several times since the Fall Board meeting in order to decide on investment diversification in the absence of acceptable municipal bonds, as well as to approve several Church loans.

The investment Committee had no recommendations at this time.

Audit Committee Report

David Rochleau, Chair, mentioned that the committee met on 04/08/2021 and Lauren Groff from Sikich Auditing presented the Draft Report of 2020 Audit, which is available on the Trustees’ intranet. Tonya Downard said the draft reports a good, clean 2020 Audit. She mentioned that in the past two years the cost of the audit was higher due to the extra work required from Auditors to complete the report. For 2020 the cost, and the timeline of the audit should align with the customary audit processes. Tonya also mentioned that there will be a change to the BFI Dashboard to reflect the figures for the entire 2020 year and not just the 4th Quarter.

David Rochleau moved to request approval from the Board for the Draft version of the 2020 Audit Report, pending any subsequent material findings which will be reported to the Board. The motion passed unanimously.

Scholarship Committee Report and Recommendations

Tim Sadler, Chair, reported that this year BFI awarded 37 scholarships (to Associate, Bachelor and Seminary students) amounting to a total of approximately $78,000 generated by the earnings of the three types of BFI Scholarship funds: restricted, preferential and unrestricted. There was a record number of volunteer evaluators that presented on March 6th, 2021 to read the applications and the process went smoothly. Also, unique for this year, the candidate with the top score received a paid-for trip to Israel with Passages Israel, due to an anonymous donation which covers the cost of the trip. Tim moved that the 37 scholarships, as well as the Israel trip be awarded as listed. The motion carried without dissent.

Doug made Tim aware that since Mihaela Sexton is now an officer of the Board, she cannot hold the Vice Chair position in the Scholarship Committee. Presently this committee is without a Vice Chair and Secretary.

Tim mentioned the following issues discussed at the Spring Scholarship committee meeting, held via Google meets on 03/19/2021:

● the Committee’s decision to publicize the story behind each of the 31 scholarships in the fund. This information will be added to the BFI public website and it will be included into a brochure to be presented to the scholarship recipients, in order to inspire both the students and potential new donors. Currently Sheila Jessen, Tim Sadler and Mihaela Sexton are gathering the biographical information and pictures of the donors. The Trustees will be provided and email list of the 31 scholarships and are invited to help in the search for information.

● the need to develop a standard of requirements for prospective evaluators/readers. Currently there is no guideline in this regard.

● next year’s evaluation session will be held on the first Saturday in March (03/05/2022) at Tabernacle Baptist church in Decatur. All trustees are encouraged to participate.

Call to Order

Doug Morrow

The meeting was called to order by David Grove, Chairman, at 10:14 am. He mentioned that this is a hybrid meeting with a couple of participants online. He opened the meeting in prayer.

Opening Devotion

Ben Foxworth started with a family anecdote in order to illustrate the role of a steward. He defined the word “steward” as caretaker, or manager of someone else’s stuff. He stated that God gave us the role of stewards from the beginning when, at the time of creation, in Genesis 2: 15, Adam was tasked by God to tend and watch over the Garden of Eden. In Romans 1:20 the caretaking role is given a new meaning: when we steward God’s creation, we are actually taking care of that which reflects God’s invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, manifested in creation so that all can see the reality of God and believe. Throughout God’s word, we see that we are not only stewards of material things, but we have also been entrusted to take care of the Gospel, of God’s word and its proper handling, and ultimately of people, by loving, helping, serving, teaching, training and encouraging one another. BFI is a steward entrusted by churches and individuals to manage their resources. As Trustees we are therefore stewards also and we should be mindful that one day we will give an account to the Lord for our service. Rev. Foxworth urged us to recognize God as the source of all the gifts and to serve with faithfulness daily, as we aspire to hear from the Lord one day “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Review of the last meeting’s minutes and adoption of the agenda

The Spring meeting minutes, and the Agenda for the Fall meeting were adopted unanimously as presented on the intranet, without change.

Executive Director’s Report

BOT Update:

Doug Morrow, Executive Director of BFI, started his report by showing the pictures of five future BFI Board of Trustees members expected to join the Board after the Nov 2021 IBSA convention. They are:

● DeWanna Oliver , from Algonquin, present client and upbeat, positive personality,

● Greg Kyrouac, from New Beginnings Church in Ashland IL, replacing his pastor who was a Trustee for a short term,

● Paul Stanford, from, with previous involvement with the Foundation,

● Scott Andrews, pastor and army chaplain, client of BFI and previously involved with the Baptist Children Home, and

● Brent Cloyd, Director of Missions in the Grand Wabash Association, and a precise thinker.

Doug asked for prayers for the new members, and noted that before our Spring meeting there might be another new Trustee to replace David Sutton who now has a position with IBSA which precludes him from being on the BFI Board. Doug added that several of the new members are pastors and that would balance the composition of the Board which is at present in majority formed by laity.

HWA International, Trust Processor Update:

Doug mentioned that June data is ready to import and it is anticipated that live and parallel data being input with 1 October 2021, with the expectation that after January 1st, 2022, the Trust Processor software will be totally live and the first contractual payment will be due to HWA at the end of the 1Q22.

Budget reporting and 2022 Budget:

Tonya Downard, CPA started by pointing to the BFI Dashboard (found on the Trustees’ intranet) which she and Ken maintain, and which captures a snapshot of all the areas of activity at BFI including the current budget in a graph comparing projected versus actual figures. She pointed to the value of Assets under Management (AUM) of $55.4 million at the end of the 2th quarter of 2021 and the upward trend of AUM over the last decade. Tonya asked the Board to give her feedback if the Trustees would like to see additional data reported on the dashboard.

Q.Mihaela Sexton asked what areas contributed to the growth of 3 Million in AUM in the last two quarters.

A.Doug Morrow answered that it is a combination of four-digit individual investments (primarily custodial) and six-digit estate gifts reaching maturity. Doug and Ken affirmed that even last week they each did financial coaching with individuals who are beginning the stewardship journey. However, there is much potential for growth. Strategically BFI has five divisions and does not plan to increase that number in the near future, but in Doug’s estimation only 1-2% of Illinois Baptists are aware of the BFI and what it does. With the implementation of the new accounting software which can handle AUM of 150M, we are positioning ourselves for economies of scale.

Tonya referred next to the 2022 Proposed Budget (on the intranet) and noted some changes compared to the 2021 budget:

● BFI Bonds line is projected to remain the same as the projected 2021, even though the realized amount had a negative variance for the first two quarters of 2021 – the feeling is that the projection is realistic

● The Loan Processing Fee line remains blank – Doug commented that even though BFI is authorized to charge loan processing fees, it has suspended its 1% origination fee on loans during Covid

● The Contract Clerical Support line will be -0-

● The IT – Accounting Software line will be significantly larger because it will involve paying both Trinergy per contract until it expires, and HWA – Doug pointed out that the cells in the budget form which have a small black triangle in the top-right corner, contain comments or breakdown of totals for details.

● The Vision Fund line – is a one time line item that will be used in 2022

Q. Dan Huffman asked if the Office Rental to IBSA line is increasing every year or it is constant

A. Doug Morrow answered that it is constant, that the BFI offices are back on the 3rd floor in the IBSA building and the rent is flat, being based on square footage and including all utilities.

Q. Tim Sadler commented that the rent seems high compared to what he pays in Decatur

A. Doug responded that it is smaller compared to other offices, at least per pre-covid data, and that IBSA has a demand on office space even though some vacancies still exist in the building.

Tonya concluded her remarks by thanking the board for deciding to proceed with the introduction of the new software before the Trinergy contract ended. She stated that even though it is a grueling process right now to transition to the Trust Processor, she is excited about the increased versatility, better reporting tools with more transparency this application will allow in the near future. Doug asked for prayer for a smooth transition process to the new software.

Investment Performance:

Doug stressed the seriousness of the fact that 2022 is a pivotal year. In the BFI model of five divisions, only two divisions that provide income streams: the management fees from AUM and the BFI Loans to churches.

Next, Doug introduced Marcus McGlasson, VP at partner Bank of Springfield, who presented the investment performance of the Blended Pool, Long Term Fixed Income Fund and Endowment Accounts. Distinction was made between reporting growth in Yield (Y) vs growth in Total Return (TR), where TR is a function of asset gain and yield.

Blended Pool performance: Total Return is 10.89% annualized compared to 7.16% in 2019 and 13.5% in 2020. This fund is comprised currently of 55% quality equity and 45% bonds

● Long Term Fixed Income fund performance: Yield of 5.15% compared to 5.29% in 2019 and 3.99% in 2020. The TR on this fund is stable at around 7%. This fund is comprised of >90% fixed income bonds. In the last 12-18 months this area experienced challenges, not just due to a slower economy, but also due to the Government involvement meant to drive the interest rates low. BOS worked closely in this period with BFI Investment Committee to offset some of this challenges. One strategy was to invest in utility funds: they are a conservative equity that keeps pace with inflation and their the long term distributions will be tied to the prices they charge which have increased at a rate of 19% in the last year

● Endowment Fund has a Yield back at around 5% after its decrease to 3.99 % in 2020. Some structural and strategy changes were done on this fund as well in the past year in consultation with the Investment Committee. For the first time a TR of 6.87% was

reported on this fund in 2021. This is linked to the motion that was presented later by the Investment committee.

Q. Dan Huffman asked if BFI struggled with companies rushing to call their bonds in today’s economy.

A. Marcus McGlasson answered in affirmative.

Q.Dan Huffman asked if Doug is discerning an uptick in enthusiasm among Illinois Baptists regarding investing with BFI.

A. Doug answered that he has no tool to measure it at the state level and that all his evidence is anecdotal. He would like to have an analytic tool to measure BFI name recognition, for example.

Q. Dan Huffman commented that the challenge to reach pastors in his association is that the churches are small and the pastors are bi-vocational, therefore have limited time and interest.

A. Doug answered that we will be successful at promoting BFI when we will be helpful to pastors. The Biblical Financial Management Series videos were designed with this purpose: to be a resource to pastors.

Q Dan Huffman asked if the BFI connection with Directors of Missions in the IBSA Associations is strong enough to promote BFI through DOMs.

A. Doug answered that some DOMs are very excited, but that there are a number of Associations that do not have DOMs at this time.

C.Pam White commented that in a small way we can promote BFI programs when the Trustees present the educational scholarships, if we ask to have five minutes extra during the service.

C.Tim Saddler advised that we should not ask for extra minutes, but instead use the opportunity to promote BFI anyway.

A. Doug suggested the use of the explainer video “What is BFI?” found at https://baptistfoundationil.org/ Baptist Foundation of Illinois - Christian Stewardship in Illinois (baptistfoundationil.org) as a preamble to the scholarship presentation. The video could be viewed over the church wifi, or it could be downloaded to a memory stick.

Q. David Grove commented that the most effective promotion is possibly done by the Trustees in their own churches. In this regard he asked Doug to name one thing that we should promote above others.

A. Doug answered that we should make the pastors aware of the BFI Cash Management Fund which produces 1% interest, 4 to 10 times higher than the average checking account in a local bank. The churches have the potential of increasing their ministry funds and maintaining the same level of liquidity by investing their cash in a BFI cash management fund. Doug estimates that there are 75M-100M dollars in church funds sitting in banks across the state and producing very little interest.

Doug concluded the Executive Director’s report by pointing to the book “Don’t Waste Your Life” by John Piper, which was offered by the Foundation as a gift to each Trustee. He considers it an impactful book that should be shared.

Administrative Committee Report and Recommendations

The report was presented by Dan Huffman, Vice Chair. During the Administrative Committee meeting from 9/17/2021 the following items were discussed:

● The Proposed budget for 2022 was examined in great detail and with a decision of 7-0 the committee submitted to the whole Board the motion to approve the 2022 BFI Operating Budget as presented. Motion passed unanimously.

● The Trustees Self Evaluation Survey discussion will be postponed to the Spring Committee Day due to the large number of incoming Trustees

● The committee received an update from Doug on the timeline of implementation of the HWA International Trust Processor software

● The need for greater harmony and mutual understanding among BFI, IBSA and BCHFS. These three Illinois Baptist entities have the common goals of expanding God’s kingdom and increasing stewardship and generosity among Baptists. In this regard, the Administrative committee submitted the motion to authorize BFI management to begin a process of drafting a Memorandum of Understanding with IBSA and BCHFS, acknowledging and encouraging our shared efforts in our general work to expand the Christian Kingdom and our efforts to improve stewardship and generosity among Illinois Baptists. Chairman David Grove asked for advice from the former Chairs of the Board present, and they agreed that such a document was necessary and timely. The motion carried without dissent. The long term goal is to increase awareness and understanding among IBSA, BCHFS and BFI with the scope of mutual promotion.

● The Administrative committee elected the following officers for 2022: Don Carlyle, Chair; Pam White, Vice-Chair; and Ben Foxworth, Secretary.

Investment Committee Report and Recommendations

David Rochleau, Chair, gave the following report:

● The Investment Committee on 9/17/ 21 looked at investment performance as presented earlier by Marcus McGlassen and Doug Morrow.

● In order to stabilize the income stream generated by the Endowment fund and compensate for the fluctuations in yield seen in the past year, the Investment Committee recommends the following motion: BFI is authorized to distribute endowment gifts at a calculated rate based on the total return for 12 regressive quarters. Twice annually, the Investment Committee will recommend to the Board of Trustees the distribution rate for the subsequent

two quarters following a meeting. For quarters 4Q21 and 1Q22, the Investment Committee is recommending a distribution of ¼ of 5%. The motion passed unanimously.

● The Investment Committee has elected the following officers for 2022: Dave Rochleau, Chair; Alan Monroe, Vice Chair, and Bruce Guebert, Secretary

Scholarship Committee Report and Recommendations

Tim Sadler, Chair, mentioned the following issues discussed at the Fall Scholarship committee meeting, held via Google meets on 09/17/2021:

● Next year’s scholarship evaluation session will be held on the last Saturday in February (02/26/2022) at Tabernacle Baptist church in Decatur, instead of the first Sunday in March as previously announced. All trustees are encouraged to participate and bring other evaluators to the event. For overnight accommodations, there is the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel, located near the church.

● The Committee has always aimed at making the evaluation process as objective as possible. In this regard additional procedural steps were discussed.

● The Scholarship Committee awards an annual grant of $2500 to a church initiative for community outreach. There were seven grant applications submitted this year. The committee advanced the following motion: BFI awards the 2021 Christian Service Grant of $2,500 to the First Baptist of Litchfield for their Tending the Vine Children’s Ministry. The motion carried with 100 % Yes votes.

● The Scholarship Committee has elected Tim Sadler, Chair; Anthony Richardson, Vice Chair; and Nedra Robinson, Secretary for service during 2022.

● Mihaela Sexton asked if possible that all grant requests be made available to the Trustees for their personal consideration, since many of the projects were worthy of support, and only one BFI grant was awarded.

Executive Director Performance Evaluation

David Grove, Chair, mentioned that he had asked Vice Chair, Newlin Wollaston, to compile the results of the Evaluations surveys submitted by the Trustees and to lead the Performance evaluation discussion which took place on 10/01/2021 prior to the BOT meeting. Doug, David and Newlin were present. Newlin mentioned that they had a serious, positive and candid discussion during the evaluation, and Doug was receptive when presented with growth opportunities. Doug responded that he delights in his work and values the relationships he formed over the years with the Board members. He takes seriously their accurate feedback because it prepares him to be ultimately ready to give an account to the LORD.

David Grove mentioned that the evaluation is available to the Trustees upon request.

Election of 2022 General Board Officers & Advisory Committee Recommendations

The following motion was submitted by Alan Monroe to select as General officers for 2022: David Grove, Chair of the Board, Newlin Wollaston, Vice Chair, and Mihaela Sexton, Secretary. Julian Williams seconded. The Motion passed unanimously.

ARTICLE XIV INDEMNIFICATION

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.

They are awaiting the online release of the new SBA forms.

XII.Committee Reports

1. Administrative Committee Report & Recommendations – Sarah Ballard.

The Administrative committee chair, Sarah Ballard, presented eight recommendations for approval (While listed in the handout, the recommendation “to approve revised policy” was tabled in committee). Rebecca Whittington notes that the committee recommendations come as a motion and a second.

Recommendation #1 – To approve the recommended change to the Staff Development Policy. The policy was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #2 – To approve removal of a Staff training Schedule as a policy. The policy was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #3 – To approve the defense of employees in litigation policy. The policy was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #4 – To approve the policy relating to the destruction of personnel files as it in present form contradicts the board approved Record Retention Schedule. The policy will ensure records are kept for an appropriate length of time per legal review.

Denny Hydrick explains per attorney advice, because we work with minors, BCHFS will maintain these records for 22 years, which is “18 plus 4.” This covers the period a minor can sue through their first 18 years plus 4 more years to age 22. The policy correction was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #5 – To approve the policy relating to the destruction of personnel files as it currently contradicts the Personnel Record Policy. The policy corrections (as displayed on screen) were unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #6 – To approve a consolidated Transportation policy per the recommendation of our new liability carrier. Denny Hydrick explains our liability carrier has asked for a Driver Conduct section be added to the policy. He also notes that in the future the wording will be updated. The policy as presented was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #7 – To approve the new policy regarding helmets.

Denny shares a past work experience where a house parent died in front of the kids while skateboarding. Which emphasizes the importance of a helmet policy. Brock Bauer questioned if the helmet policy should apply to all open-wheeled devices (i.e., ATVs, 4-wheelers, hoverboards, etc.).

After much discussion, Rebecca Whittington recognized Jake Gray’s motion to amend the motion on the floor, and include additional wording suggested by Chris Slusser. The helmet policy was amended to include the phrasing: “And any activity as deemed necessary by the Executive Director, including but not limited to all open-wheeled devices (i.e., motorcycles, ATVs, 4-wheelers, hoverboards, or scooters, etc.).” The motion to amend by Jake Gray was seconded by Bennie Tomberlain. The motion to amend was unanimously approved by Roll Call. To conclude, the recommendation to approve the helmet policy, as amended, was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #8 – To approve newly created job description of Client Relations Officer The policy was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

2. Finance & Development Committee Report & Recommendations – Emily Tynes.

The Finance & Development committee chair, Emily Tynes, presented a three recommendations for approval.

Recommendation #1 – To accept the Audit Report. The report was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #2 – To approve the Overage of the Timber Stand Improvement.

Emily shares that additional funding is needed to exterminate the Japanese Chaff Flower. Denny gives a brief overview of the issue. While the Timber Stand Improvement Plan was approved by the Board in 2017 and accepted by the State, we now must deal with an invasive flower, the Japanese Chaff flower, which has taken over 40 to 50 acres of the property. Last year’s controlled burn was only partially successful, so we need to do another burn, as well as the scheduled components of the improvement plan, resulting in additional costs. The total cost will be $40,290.00, Denny notes that $20,000 of this amount was approved in this year’s budget. Approval of this recommendation would cover the additional $20,920.00 Note also that we have been approved for a grant by the State to receive a refund for these expenses money, but receipt is not anticipated until about 2023.

The Timber Stand Improvement Overage was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #3 – To approve reallocation of the Capital Money for Security System. BCHFS did not receive the actual estimate until after the 2021 budget was approved, hence the estimated cost used in the budget was low. With Board approval, $20,000.00 from the $50,000 Angels’ Cove designated money at the Southern Baptist Foundation will be used to complete the project at Angels’ Cove. The actual cost of project is $56,287.00. The reallocation of the Capital Money for Security System was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

A. Financial Report – Krystal Donelson

Krystal Donelson presented the Financial and Investment reports highlighting key items noted below. The complete presentation is available on the Board Portal, and Krystal is happy to answer any Board questions.

2020 Year End

• In 2020 BCHFS received its 2nd highest gift income since 2003 despite the pandemic and not including PPP. A miracle.

• Bequests at $119,110.00 in 2020 were low compare to previous years. However, we have already received $124,000 this year.

• 2020 Non-gift income. Counseling Fees were the highest we have ever received almost $315,000; on average we are at less than $200,000 annually. Direct Support was our lowest year attributable to our low census last year. Adoption Fees came in at $72,000, which agrees with the average.

2021 – First Quarter

• Gift income 7% below budget but 9% above 2020 levels.

• Total Revenue is 6% below budget and 7% above 2020.

• Total Expenses are 12.6% less than budget and 9.5% above 2020.

• Income. At the end of the quarter this year, our income which includes our investment withdrawals was $2,000 above expenses. Our budget called for us to be $84,000 in expenses over income, we have had a decent quarter.

• Professional Training Expense. We will run over budget in professional training for GraceHaven because the Ultrasound training anticipated for 2020 did not occur until the first quarter of 2021. Cost: $8,000.00.

• Capital Expenditures Replacement of Angels’ Cove furnaces at $5,600.00. Angels’ Cove conference room flooring will be installed next week with payment upon completion. Flooring for Ballard and Mathias Cottages is finished, and that bill be paid next week and appear on next quarter’s report.

• Investment Report We started the year with a market value of all investment accounts at $5.4 Million, and as of March 31, 2021, we are at $5.56 Million, which is an increase in our market value. We did realize a gain of $83,816 on our liquidation from our Quasi-endowment fund to build our operations reserves so we can withdraw money. So that came out of flexible income fund and our equity fund. We had the addition of a $125,000 bequest, and we have taken out $120,000 in withdrawals. We had $59,000 income for the quarter, an addition of $125,000, a withdrawal of $120,000, and an unrealized loss of $25,959.

B. Development Report – Pamela Joy

Pamela thanked the Board for the opportunity to serve as the Director of Development and Marketing. She currently engaged in building the team to serve on this mission field.

• Giving. Church Giving is steady over the first quarter, we received an estate gift, and we have realized an increase in our individual giving not counting the bequest. In the midst of a pandemic, we are especially grateful for the giving from churches and individuals.

• New Hire. Pat Scarborough as our fulltime Media Specialist. Pat is from Fairfield and was highly recommended by Pastor Bennie Tomberlain (Board member), and Carmen Halsey (IBSA). Pat is currently updating our website and working on our social media for job postings, etc.

• Job Openings. Denny and Paula have been interviewing several people for our development positions; they are wonderful candidates, but we are waiting on the Lord, trusting Him for the right candidates. We do not want to rush into anything. We are praying over positions and ask that you join us in those prayers as the candidates will represent the ministry.

• Women of Compassion. A wonderful event held on March 6th at Logan Street Baptist Church. The goal was to have 50 women and we had over a 125 in attendance. They have experience growth (30% each year) and increases we have seen in Women of Compassion over the past 11 years. The original goal was to have 100 Women of Compassion, and we exceeded that at 109 this year. For years

we sought church representatives to share in our churches, but now we have 109 Women of Compassion who are going back to their churches and sharing the ministry. They recommend people, refer people, and tell others how they can give and become Women of Compassion. We celebrate that. The March 6th event is available on the website, but it does not compare with the in-person experience.

• Mother’s Day Appeal. Paula went through the Mother’s Day Appeal promotional materials (i.e., individual & church mailers, QR codes, videos, etc.) that have already been mailed. Cheryl Dorsey asked if digital downloads of the promotional material are available? Yes, they are available and posted on the website. Mother’s Day is May 9th and many churches run their offer through Father’s Day.

• Director’s Dinner this year has been moved to October 15th at 6:30 at Logan Street Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon. The third quarter Board meeting will be held in Carmi.

• Priority 2021. We will be promoting GraceHaven at the conference.

• Fall Festival. September 18th. We welcome volunteers for that planning committee.

Pamela shared and reemphasized the scripture for year: Ephesians 3:20-21. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” This week this verse has become a reality.

One week ago, one of our young mothers at Angels’ Cove gave birth to a 1.5 lbs. baby, at 27th weeks. The update: The baby has survived a week, mother is doing well, and in the deciding mode between adoption or choose adoption. We also have her parents who are involved and helping, and in the midst of all these decisions and emergency events . . . this young woman accepted Christ as her Savior! Please pray for these families we serve. Rebecca Whittington requests prayer for this new mom and baby. Bro. Kevin Hutchinson leads us in prayer for them and all involved in her care.

Danny Hampton had comments for Paula, and shares a phrase, “Price is just an objection in the absence of value.” Regarding Women of Compassion, I think the price of $50 a month (for 10 months) should not be an objectionable if they know the value. In asset gathering for the BCHFS have you made any contacts for appreciated stock or gift annuities? Or are you familiar with that? Paula notes some familiarity with it; it is not an area they have pursued. Danny volunteered to assist with that and referenced the Southern Baptist Foundation in Nashville and others to see a positive result. Moody Bible Institute has been particularly good at that, and while they are a larger organization with a larger budget and reach, there is no reason we can why we can do the same things. Rebecca asks that we pray for Paula in her work, and in appreciation of the time and energy she has invested and planted.

3. Program Committee Report & Recommendations – Brock Bauer

No recommendations. Brock does highlight the Strategic Planning Session May 5-6, 2021 at Pere Marquette. Every board member is invited to participate if they wish. If you wish to participate, please contact Melinda. This will a very important time for the BCH.

Brock also shares a prayer request with the Board regarding staffing. We are down one house parent at Angels’ Cove, we need 2 couples for parents at the Children’s Home, and our Pathways counselors are at full capacity, so we are looking for 2 new counselors in Maryville. Denny adds, “or counselors anywhere.”

The motion to approve the schedule and locations for BCHFS 2022 meetings was made by Danny Hampton and seconded by Bennie Tomberlain. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

XIV. Miscellaneous Business – Denny Hydrick & Rebecca Whittington.

Retirement –Denny Hydrick “reluctantly” shares that Mark McCormack has announced his retirement from BCHFS as Director of Clinical Services, effective August 31, 2021. Mark will stay on part time as a counselor. “Mark loves the Lord, loves what he does, and loves people. He is one of the most passionate people I know, and we at BCHFS will miss that component of leadership.”

Resolution. Rebecca Whittington shares that Sister Delores DanielsHunter passed away between board meetings; she was a pillar of faith; Woman of Compassion and she gave sacrificially. Rebecca Whittington asks the Board to entertain a motion to send a Resolution to her family acknowledging the appreciation for her unwavering support and Christian mentorship through Women of Compassion. The motion is made by Jake Gray and seconded by Bennie Tomberlain.

Question from the floor: For equity’s sake, are we going to do this for all women going forward? Rebecca believes that when people impact our ministry, the Board should issue a resolution, recording our appreciation in the minutes. This motion is specifically for Delores DanielsHunter, but similar actions should be written up as the need arises. Denny notes there is no BCHFS policy, however, when someone to directly affiliated with the ministry in leadership capacity, like Ron and Delores, the practice is to send flowers to the funeral in recognition. The DanielsHunters raised in excess of $8,000 in memorials. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Rebecca Whittington notes the changes in State leadership with departure of Sammie Simmons to NAMB, and the onboarding of our new IBSA president, Heath Tibbets.

XV. Executive Session – Rebecca Whittington.

BCHFS Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes

July 17, 2021

I. Call to Order

Rebecca Whittington called to order the regular meeting of the BCHFS Board of Trustees at 9:05 a.m. July 17, 2021 GraveHaven Pregnancy Resource Clinic, 4227 Lincolnshire Drive, Mt. Vernon, IL 62864. The meeting began five minutes late due to the advisory committee meeting which ran over by a few minutes.

The Chair notes that today’s board meeting is also a retreat that will serve as an orientation to new board members and be a time for the rejuvenation of effort, rekindling of spirit, and refreshing of relationships within the board.

II. Scripture and prayer

Denny Hydrick and Sandy Absher shared during our devotional time. Denny shared on how to be “plugged in” so that the ministry has impact and changes lives. He recalls the “What If” questions we often ask in life. In the biblical context:

What if

. . . God hadn’t provided a ram in the bush for Abraham & Isaac?

. . . Noah had not built the Ark?

. . . Moses had turned and ran from the burning bush instead of running to it?

. . . Jonah had remained stubborn inside the belly of that great fish and not gone to Nineveh?

outcome of those decisions would have had generational impact.

Carrying this thought further, into our BCHFS context:

What if

. . . Today I decide I’m not going to go to this meeting?

. . . Today I decide that I’m not going to speak my thoughts?

Sometime little decisions that we make at a crucial moments can not only impact the present but the work we do here can have generational impact. Denny notes that throughout scripture, God often references generational work, changes, and outcomes. Specifically referencing the Book of Joshua where the Children of Israel miraculously cross the River Jordan to enter the Promised Land. In celebration of that miracle, Joshua has one man from each tribe bring a stone and build an altar in Gilgal memorial so that when their children ask what the stones represent, they can recount to those generations how God delivered them. Sadly, we learned in Judges 2:10:

“After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.”

They didn’t do a good job of passing on to their children the testimony of the stones and what the Lord had done for them at the River Jordan.

So often in the work that we do we are not privileged to see the results of those changes. Continuing in this theme, Denny asks Sandy Absher to share her childhood testimony, which she calls her

“Delores Petticoe Story.” Sandy shared her of coming to faith in Jesus Christ at the age of 6 because Delores invited her to VBS. She particularly shared the impact that childhood decision for Christ has had in her family for current and future generations. Sandy “fell in love with Jesus.” Mom and Dad also fell in love with Jesus and never missed church. By the time, Sandy graduated high school, 14 other family members came to know Jesus at that time, but that’s not the end of the story. In 2020, Sandy and Bill saw their 8 yr. old granddaughter come to Jesus. “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” Matthew 19:14 Children are fearless in sharing Jesus, and they are our greatest resource!

What if Delores had decided not to ask Sandy to VBS that day long ago? Generations were impacted by Delores’ invitation & Sandy’s acceptance. Denny closes our time in prayer

III. Roll call

Board President Rebecca Whittington prefaces Roll Call by providing the set up of the Introduction & Connection section that will immediately follow Roll Call. Everyone is asked to introduce themselves and share how God connected them to BCHFS.

Cheryl Dorsey conducted the Roll Call. The following members were present: Sandy Absher, Brock Bauer, Sarah Clark, Cheryl Dorsey, Tom Denton, Jake Gray, Tina Grooms, Danny Hampton, Diana Henry-Aten, Kevin Hutchinson, Rick Layne, Chris Slusser, Emily Tynes, Rockell Warren-Daniels, and Rebecca Whittington. Absent members: Sarah Ballard, Doug Haile, Mark Lee, Bennie Tomberlain, David Smith, and Sherman Smith.

Also attending today’s meeting were Denny Hydrick, Mark McCormack, Bill Foote, Sarah Usery and Krystal Donelson.

IV. Introduction & Connection

As prefaced in the sections above, as part of the Board Retreat & Orientation, the Introduction section was expanded so that all Board members and staff present could introduce themselves and share their unique connection with BCHFS of Illinois.

A powerful, tearful, and joyful time.

There were many powerful testimonies of strong connections wrought through: 1) their love of Jesus, 2) their love for and work with children in their work, church and family life, 3) seeing children come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, 4) God’s faithfulness through crises pregnancies and other life experiences, 5) personal experiences as an adoptee or an adoptive parent, 6) God’s power through counseling ministry through life challenges & tragic loss, as well as 7) many who God drew through their church’s belief in and support for BCHFS.

Danny Hampton commented about the diversity of life experience around the table noting that, “the ground is level at the foot of the cross.”

After sharing her connection, Rebecca Whittington shares Psalms 56:8, which the Holy Spirit brought to her remembrance as she listened to the many testimonies: “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” Our tears aren’t futile, this as been a powerful bonding experience.

After all the shares, Pastor Jacob Gray closes this section with prayer. To God be the glory.

V. Approval of the April 17, 2021, Board Meeting Minutes

The motion to approve today’s board meeting agenda was made by Jake Gray and seconded by Danny Hampton. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

VI. Adoption of the July 17, 2021, Board Meeting Agenda

The motion to approve today’s board meeting agenda was made by Jake Gray and seconded by Danny Hampton. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

VII. Welcome to Visitors and Announcements

While we had no visitors today, Rebecca Whittington has invited a guest encourager. The honorable David Overstreet and his wife Suzanne are strong Christians and friends of the ministry, and in his position, David can testify to the impact of the BCHFS ministry on his family and Mt. Vernon. He was unable to attend today but will hopefully a guest at the January meeting.

VIII. Board Retreat and Orientation

Due to the constraints of the pandemic, we missed our normal new board member orientation. Consequently, Rebecca Whittington shared how God had laid on both she and Denny’s hearts the need for a board retreat and orientation to inform new and refresh current board members. So the reports’ sections will not be like our regular quarterly reports, but will be from the perspective of what board members need to know to be informed ad plugged in.

IX. Executive Director’s Report – Denny Hydrick

1. General Report.

A. Denny had donor related meetings and preached at several of IBSA churches since the April board meeting, including Freedom Baptist, Oblong, Clay City, Ten Mile.

B. Attended Critical Incident Training in April 2021.

C. Conducted a Strategic Planning Retreat at the Pere Marquette Lodge & Conference Center, staff and two or three board members were in attendance.

D. Met and signed an agreement with an architect who will draw up rough plans for the consideration should we decide to replace some of our older cottages. This was budgeted for this year.

E. We are very near completion of the transition to one electronic record system, where Pathways, Residential Care, and Angels Cove will all be using the same system. While challenging, it’s moving along.

F. Timber Stand Improvement Plan has been initiated in 2021. Ozark-Corolli Ecosystem Services will be marking trees and has completed and will do another controlled burn in the Fall. In addition, they will be spraying invasive species discussed in our previous report.

G.As reported in late 2019, BCHFS signed an agreement with a local energy company to drill for oil on our property. Then, the bottom fell out of the oil market. Last month they notified me that they are ready to proceed, they have dug one well, and it is a good producer. While doing that, they have located an even more promising site. So, through this God may provide supplementary income.

H. We’ve hired a new couple to house parents in Carmi, the Landings, who come with house parent experience from Arkansas. A former house parent couple, Don, and Dora Riley have returned to Angel Cove. We’ve also hired a new staff accountant who will replace Emily, who is expecting a baby any day now. We continue to interview for the development position, and still have an opening for house parents.

We have created a commercial video featuring house parents discussing their call to this ministry. It is designed and appropriate for a pastor or church to share during service. It is available on the website. There may be a couple in our churches called to this type of service.

I. On July 1, 2021, the BCHFS staff received the pay raises budgeted and approved by the board, and the staff communicated its thanks to the boards via emails to the executive director. Denny read a Thank You Card received from a long-term staff member.

2.Denny reviewed the Service Delivery Report published for this quarter. Total services provided in June, 498. You will notice that GraceHaven service numbers are now included in this report, and we have worked with 10 women who will probably keep their babies. A doxology moment, Rebecca Whittington observes.

X. Financial Report – Krystal Donelson

Krystal Donelson gives a brief report noting that hardcopies of the Financial and Investment reports in our folders She summarizes by saying, “God is Good!” Krystal is available happy to answer any Board questions.

PPP Forgiveness is still pending. Krystal is in regular contact with K-Services provider, who asks us to be patient. The forgiveness portion of servicing has been handed off to a different service provider. We have done all that we can on our side. Responding to Sandy’s question on terms of repayment, Krystal notes that worse-case scenario is we’d have to pay back the loan at an estimate 1 percent over three years (to be confirmed).

Denny anticipates that we will have a definitive answer by the next Board Meeting as the deadline falls in August.

The motion to accept the Director’s and the Financial reports was made by Jake Gray and was seconded by Sandy Ashber.

XI. Board Orientation– Denny Hydrick

Regularly the scheduled new board member orientations were canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to inclement weather and the pandemic. As a result, in this retreat Denny Hydrick provides a wealth of information for a board member orientation & refresher. He reviews the history, mission, and ministries of the BCHFS, and the responsibilities of board members and board committees (as noted in the board packet, bylaws, and his PowerPoint presentation).

BCHFS ministries include: 1) The BCH (Residential Care/Carmi), 2) Angels’ Cove Maternity Home (Mt. Vernon), 3) Faith Adoption Ministry (statewide), 4) Pathways Counseling (11 locations), and 5) GraceHaven (Mt. Vernon).

BCHFS Funding. Denny reviews the sources of BCHFS funding. We have always raised our own money for the BCHFS. In meeting with pastors and churches, Denny is careful to share that we do not receive funds from the Cooperative Program and have not in 104 years.

Board Composition. Denny provides an overview of BCHFS BOT composition (materials provided in board packets/notebooks) and reviews the standing committees of the BOT (as delineated in our bylaws).

Highlights:

• There are 21 board members with 4 ex officio members who are IBSA board officers, who have voting privileges. See bylaws (located on the Board Portal) for specific details.

• Due to Illinois licensing requirements, our board meets quarterly (unlike other IBSA boards who meet twice a year).

• This year, new board members were seated via Zoom meetings. Denny reminds board members of their roles and responsibilities.

o You are encouraged to “be engaged, be curious, & ask questions.”

• Standing Committees responsibilities are detailed in the bylaws, “Section VI –Committees of the Board of Trustees.” Standing Committees of the BOT are:

o Advisory Committee. Bylaws – Section VI, paragraph A.

Denny shares an addition he has made to the responsibilities of the Advisory committee pursuant to the practice by which we operate, and felt it should be recorded for future generations:

“The Advisory committee shall meet with the executive director prior to the July board meeting for the purposes of the review and evaluation of the executive director’s performance and recommend any corrective action needs or recommend any salary change.”

o Administrative Committee. Bylaws – Section VI, paragraph B.

o Program Committee. Bylaws – Section VI, paragraph C.

o Finance and Development Committee. Bylaws – Section VI, paragraph D.

• Your Role as a Board Member. The Mission of the agency is not set by the executive director or the staff.

o It is the Board’s responsibility to establish, review, and ensure the agency stays in compliance with the mission.

o Set policies to make sure the mission is fulfilled. Policies are integral our ability to function.

o Establish long- and short-term goals and work with the agency.

o Establish fiscal guidelines. As a board, the fiscal oversight of the ministry is the responsibility of the board, as a whole. While these things are monitored more closely by the finance committee, but each person on the board is responsible for the oversight of that.

o Help to provide adequate financial resources and support. “Friend-raising.” Be an ambassador, a champion for the ministry.

o Recommend others with desirable skillsets to serve on the Board. See bylaws, Section III, paragraph 3, Qualifications.

• Denny shares these Helpful tips:

7 Deadly Sins of Board of Trusteeship

1. Acceptance without commitment

2. Membership without attendance

3. Affiliation without dedication

4. Meetings without participation

5. Decisions without integrity

6. Involvement without advocacy

7. Identification without giving

7 Deadly Positions of Trusteeship

1. “We’ve never done it that way before.”

2. “It can’t be done.”

3. “It will cost too much.”

4. “We’re doing alright without it.”

5. “Let’s put it off for now and discuss it later.

6. “We tried it that way and it didn’t work.”

7. “We’re not ready now.”

Group Prayer Chain Email Pray@BCHFS.com. Denny Hydrick has established a group email to share with those who are willing to pray for the agency, staff, and board member needs

Update the Board Contact Sheet. Denny Hydrick asks that the board complete the contact sheet and questionnaire. If you are willing to participate in the prayer chain, note “Yes, I’d like to participate,” and add this to the to the bottom of the sheet

Lunch break: As we prepare to receive “natural food,” Rebecca Whittington asks Kevin Hutchinson to pray and give thanks for the “spiritual food” we received this morning and ask the Lord’s blessings on our lunch.

XII. Strategic Planning – Denny Hydrick

Denny gives a report and summary on our strategic planning process so far. We recently held a 2-day retreat at Pere Marquette, where we began the strategic planning process. Denny looks at our origins and the faith exhibited by those who started the BCHFS.

“Many wondered if the Baptist community of Carmi, would have a strength to continue the ambitious plans for the orphanage, since many southern Illinois citizens were taken by the influenza. But as is so often does, necessity overrules the luxury of doubting. The burden of parentless and homeless children had grown even more during the Spanish Flu Epidemic, quickly outstripping the amount of orphans left in the wake of WWI.”

We now see the results of that faithfulness, and we are in a position today to set similar foundations for the future.

Denny provides an overview to questions discussed during strategic planning retreat, define a SWOT analysis, and reviews the employee survey.

• We received 39 responses from staff, which were anonymous

o Clarity of our mission – 38 strongly agreed they had a good understanding of the mission.

o The greatest need for the agency’s leadership to address in the next 3 to 5 years

 30% fell into staffing/corp. structure/organization

 Program improvement

o The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Threats) Analysis

 Top three strengths – 50% of responses noted that we were Christ-centered, a called staff, & our ministry focus; 13% Leadership & Vision; 10% Programs & Benevolence (the people we serve); 10% We are a “trauma informed agency;” 10% listed our funding and donors (staff is appreciative that we have donors that pay the paychecks); 4% listed our history/longevity; and 3% fell into miscellaneous topics.

 Top three weaknesses – 77 responses; 17% Programs not diverse or our processes/outcomes were a weakness; 16% felt staff (short staffed or turnover); 16% technology, training, tools to do your work (safety/physical environment); 14% communication (top-down, flow of information from supervisors); 12% lack of promotion (marketing/advertisement of our services/public relations); 10% Lack of a strong plan for expanding donors or diversifying funding; 8% facilities, programs, location; 8% leadership structure.

 Opportunities for the future of the ministry – 50 responses; 32% Enhance or expand our programs; 26% New programs (transitional living); 20% Help More/Share Christ More/Support More; 12% Promote/Network more; 8% Technology uprades & upgrades to our facilities.

 Threats to the BCHFS, current or future – 39 responses; 36% political/social/govt. interference for a faith-based service.

Example: In KY the governor threatened not to sign the religious waiver allows Sunrise (our counterpart in KY) service residents and receive state funding. The governor changed his/her mind and signed the waiver. Without that waiver that agency would have gone out of business.

21% staff retention/fatigue; 18% aging donors/church closures/denomination decline; 13% litigation/lawsuits; 11% program death (not meeting contemporary needs).

 Areas or items you feel we must address in the next 3 to 5 years? 51 responses; 25% staffing issues (retention/development needs); 24% program structure/design (staffing model); 12% replace cottages & staff housing; 10% “I don’t know.” 8% outcomes/models of care; 8% communications; 6% promotion/marketing; 6% miscellaneous.

o Core Values – Denny felt strongly that we need to land strongly on our core values. While not formally read for board action, here are some of the core values discussed during the strategic planning retreat. Our filter.

 BCHFS C. A. R. E. S.

C – Christ focused (centered)

A – Attitude focused (gratitude, grace, & mercy)

R – Relationship focused (Customer: client, donor, churches, coworkers)

E – Excellence focus (Self Spiritually; become an outcome driven program w/the metrics that confirm)

S – Stewardship focus (Resources, staff & clients)

A preliminary report of concepts discussed during our strategic planning retreat included:

• Organization & Leadership with enhanced review of and revision of our staff structure and job descriptions. Collaborative management style. Focus on and implement a staff training protocol. Training our supervisor. Risk management. Improve our communication. Focus on staff retention and improvement. Discipling & mentoring staff. Discussions about branding.

• Operational Needs – Communications; IT and enhanced systems. Functional space in our offices, cottages, and staff housing. Maintenance of property long-term. Transitional plans in our leadership. Move from the fire-fighting mode. Disaster plans. Creating a collaborative culture and support. Networking and professional growth for staff.

• Programs – Create a process to review our programs. Relevance to 2021 & 2022. Stabilizing our programs. Expansion of current programs: teaching life skills, job skills, & trades. Expand our scholarship fund & encouraging our kids to use it. GraceHaven Mobile Unit. Improved Marketing of our services. Increasing the number of therapists. Transitional Living, which is 18 to 20 years old. Homes for sex trafficking victims (DCFS advises that rural setting are the ideal place for these homes). Specialized services around residential care. Family care model around residential care. Statewide community hubs for the ministry; satellite offices/outposts around the state (mobile units). Establish and maintain an alumni association.

• Infrastructure & Facilities – New cottages. Hathaway renovation. Ropes course: without certified staff it’s a liability (it’s staff intensive and an attractive nuisance if it remains idle). It’s Denny’s opinion that it is a liability and should be removed. Properties – Aging and current facilities. Need for fiberoptics on the campus. Allow outside groups to use our facilities, like a seminary extension or additional Sunday schools rooms to local churches.

• Finance & Funding – Donor engagement and expansion. Minimizing social media; advertising constraints. Emphasize our independence / we do not receive Cooperative Program dollars. Corporate matching donations. Our insurance is partially self-funded and so we carry liability and need to minimize our risk.

• From the Executive Director’s perspective – Threats/Concerns – denominational changes; engaging with the churches; reach across denominational lines to have like minded people support the ministry. Finalize our core values. We have significant social and legal challenges against faith-based agencies. Licensing changes and requirements. We have no religious exemption or waiver in the State of Illinois. Education – home district must fund education for BCH kids. Minimize risk, cost of our benefit package. Resident staff property security: how do we secure our properties. The heaviness of our non-liquid assets.

XIII.Miscellaneous Business – Denny Hydrick & Rebecca Whittington.

Budget Preparation Denny notes that the Directors meet next week to prepare the budget for the BOTs approval in October.

Rebecca Whittington asks the Board, “Where to we fit in?” As we moved out of the pandemic, we need to be plugged into the base. We also need to be plugged in to one another. The prayer email will help us focus on the needs of the ministry and one another.

What can we do to be better friend-raisers and fundraisers? In every board packet folder, you’ve been provided with an “elevator speech” for sharing and building relationships with BCHFS.

We reviewed the giving by association, we looked at our budget (we are looking at a $1M gap), and we need to be a resource and a support to our Developmental Director and Officer. As we reflect on the 7 deadly sins of a trusteeship, and the 7 deadly positions of trusteeship, how do we measure up? What’s our commitment?

Thank you & Congratulations, Mark McCormack on your retirement! Mark shares a watchword he lives by: “Every day you get a chance to be either grateful or hateful.” I’ve been really grateful for you and my clients. Thank you.

BCHFS Board of Trustees

Meeting Minutes

October 16, 2021

I. Call to Order

Rebecca Whittington called to order the regular meeting of the BCHFS Board of Trustees (BOT) at 9:00 a.m. on October 16, 2021. GraceHaven Pregnancy Resource Clinic, 4227 Lincolnshire Drive, Mt. Vernon, IL 62864. Chris Slusser and Cheryl Dorsey open the meeting with prayer.

II. Scripture and prayer

Cheryl Dorsey shares on the importance of sight, seeing, and vision. Through her experience with cataracts, we are reminded of importance of our eyes being enlightened with spiritual understanding (Eph. 1:18). Through Hagar’s encounter with on El-Roi, The God-Who-Sees (Genesis 16:13), we are assured that God “sees” is aware of our situations, at all times. And, through lessons learned in Hebrews, grasp the responsibility we have to God and that “great cloud of witnesses,” (Hebrews 12:1) as we carry out the mission As relates to the BCHFS that “great cloud of witnesses” include people like Rev. D.F. Marlin of First Baptist Church, his two deacons, John W. Hall and Eben Renshaw, and the 20 families who sacrificially gave $3,000 to purchase the first 40 acres of land for an orphanage in 1918. They “laid aside every weight” to heed God’s call and give sacrificially during the height of WW1 and the Spanish Flu pandemic to start an orphanage that would become BCHFS, a five-fold ministry Pastor Marlon was only at FBC of Carmi for 6 years (1916-1922). He like Esther was put in this place “for such a time as this.” He obeyed God.

“Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20, 21

VI. Welcome to Visitors and Announcements

Nate Adams, IBSA Executive Director visits via Zoom at President Rebecca Whittington’s invitation and provides a word of encouragement to the board. He shares some key points for the board as we work during this time of transition:

1.In the IBSA, at any given time, 10 percent of the member churches are searching for a pastor.

2. You are not alone. There is a larger Baptist family to encourage, support, and advise your board.

3.Many times, the work of the board is routine, but there are two instances when the work of a board requires heroic effort. Those times are:

A. In a time of leader transition.

B. In a time of crises. (And sometimes that time of transition is a time of crises.)

Nate reminds us of various Psalms of Assent (Psalm 22, in particular). BCHFS Board, like the children of Israel making the arduous upwardly trek from Jericho to Jerusalem, you’re being called to heroic effort and “higher ground.” The Psalms of Assent, like Psalm 125:1,2, which says

“A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.”

When God calls us, challenges us, it’s festival time, it’s a rallying time. It’s time for heroic effort, and trust in God. A board’s responsibility is not to the leader or each other, the primary responsibility of the board is to its mission of the organization, and, in our case, to the God we serve. Be encouraged!

VII. Election of BCHFS BOT Officers

The vice-chairmen of the Advisory Committee, Danny Hampton, makes the report. The Advisory Committee recommends, in view of this time of transition, that the slate of BOT officers remain the same. Current BOT officers are Rebecca Whittington, Chair; Danny Hampton, Vice-Chair; and, Cheryl Dorsey, Secretary. Motion made by Tom Denton, and second by Cheryl Dorsey. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

VIII.Executive Director’s (ED) Report – Denny Hydrick

The Chair advises that the ED report will include the ED’s resignation, which will be voted upon as part of the acceptance of the ED report.

1. General Report.

A. “What do you see?” Denny shares 3 photos of a woodland road in a forested area. It’s the same photo, the original, then the original with two filters. Each filter gives us a different context of the picture. We also have filters. What is the context of my last ED report today? I want to focus on the context, I reflect on the last five years. Focus on the numbers

(1) Twelve – In five years, Salvations in the ministry (at least 12). That’s worth celebrating in God’s kingdom.

(2) 5,571 – Since January 1, 2017, we have served 5,571 individuals in ministry.

(3) $16,051,406 – The number of dollars received from people by this ministry since January 1, 2017.

(4) Four– the number of adoptions last year, the number of infants in a new home because of the ministry of BCHFS

(5) Three – Three Moms who just in the last few weeks have visited GraceHaven, and because of that ministry, they will carry their babies to term.

Let’s celebrate God’s work. Psalm 9:12, “Teach us to number our days carefully so we may develop wisdom in our hearts.” Let’s filter these things through the lenses of our Creator, who allows us to do the work.

B. Oil Leases. The new well in Carmi, IL, as of August 2021, has produced gross value $100,918.69, and 17% of the should be coming to BCHFS. In September, it produced $82,674.19, of which $14,040.56 (17%) should be coming to BCHFS. As of this week, they began drilling a second pump that they anticipate will be a better producer than the first one. So, Denny estimates that by year’s end, BCHFS should receive approximately $115,000 to $120,000 in royalties. Note: We own 100% of the mineral rights on these tracks, but that is not the cases on other tracks we own. There may be some pumps where that royalties are shared.

While this is a blessing, it also creates a need for PR component to explain this income merely offsets our use of investment money that we use to operate. There is buzz in White County about “all the money coming to BCHFS due to the oil wells.”

C. Resignation. Denny has previously submitted his letter of resignation. Denny must change the date of his resignation from Friday, December 3rd to Wednesday, November 30th.

The motion to accept the ED’s report, which includes Denny Hydrick’s resignation and new out date, was made by Bennie Tomberlin and was second by Tina Grooms. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

The Chair called for a Voice Vote for all those who wish to signify by “Aye” their regrets that all this is happening in the way it is happening. The Roll Call unanimously said, “Aye!” None opposed.

IX. Report of Administrative Committee

1. Administrative Committee – Sarah Ballard, Committee Chair. (Since Sarah is joining via Zoom, Kevin Hutchinson, Cmte. Sec’y. assists by presenting the recommendations.)

A. Recommendation #1 – Part 1, to approve the limits of work-related Family Travel Expenses in 2022 at the current maximum of $850.00, and Part 2, to Establish Honorarium Limits for BCHFS employees in 2022 at the current maximum $250.00. Both items are a continuation of limits set in current policy. An annual review of these policies is required. The policy was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

B. Recommendation #2 – Approval of Director of Operations & Compliance job description. With the retirement of the Director of Clinical Services, we’ve made some adjustments. The manager of Compliance and Quality Improvement was moved into this new position. Bill Foote is currently carrying out those responsibilities of Dir. Of Operations & Compliance, and the proposed job description aligns with current responsibilities. This recommendation to approve the job description comes from committee.

Question: Is that a temporary change as we go through this season, or is it a permanent change? Rebecca Whittington notes that there was some discussion on this point, that is, interim vs. permanent. The consensus was that to foster stability in day-to-day operations & upper management, the position is permanent, but can be changed by the board in the future. It does not preclude any reorganization in the future and does not bind the hands of the ED or the

board pursuant to current operational practices. This does not expand the duties that he already has, nor does it give this position hiring/firing authority.

Question: Given Bill is in the room, is this something that should have been discussed in Executive Session? Rebecca Whittington responds that were the discussion covering an individual’s performance, it would require moving to executive session. However, in this case, we are discussing the establishment of a position.

Question: Where is the accountability for this new position? How does the BOT know what is going on? Kevin Hutchinson & Rebecca Whittington note according BCHFS bylaws, in the absence of the ED, the Advisory Committee will give oversight to day-to-day operations. With regard to DCFS compliance, policy has been established that provides for a backup to the ED with the clinical credentials to meet DCFS compliance standards. Per that policy, Bill Foote is already the “next in line” meets DCFS requirements. The Advisory Committee consists of the BOT Officers, and the Committee Chairs of all standing committees. The job description was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

C. Report of New Officers for the Administrative Committee for 2022 – Tom Denton, Chair; Tina Grooms, Vice-Chair; and, Chris Slusser, Secretary.

Motion made by Cheryl Dorsey, and second by Brock Bauer. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

X. Finance

& Development Committee

Report and Recommendations – Emily Tynes

Financial Report – Krystal Donelson, Director of Accounting

1. PPP Forgiveness. Krystal Donelson reports that PPP Forgiveness is still pending but with assistance of board member Chris Slusser, she was able to contact Congressman Mike Bost (IL12), who reach out to SBA on our behalf. SBA was aware of the widespread problem with K-Services. They kept in touch with us, and Krystal continued daily monitoring of the site. On August 26, 2021, we did gain access and were able submit our application for PPP Forgiveness. Our account status is now, “Under Review,” and the process takes 90 days. Krystal’s hope is that the process is wrapped up by years end, so it can be reflected in our reports. Chris Slusser’s assistance is greatly appreciated. We filed a complaint against K-Services with the Better Business Bureau.

2. Financial Report. Krystal Donelson gives a brief report on our financial report. Our revenue continues to be below budget, but about the same as last year’s. Our expenses are 13% below budget, but 7% more than last year. So, our net expenses exceeding revenue this year, ignoring our investment distributions, is at a negative $700,000.00. So, we have been drawing off of our investment account, which Krystal will highlight in that report. Our Accounting Director reminds us that we are a non-profit, but expense-wise nothing unusual has come up.

A. Capital Improvement Status highlights. See financial reports, page 11. In total, we’ve spent about $95,000 YTD. We still have a few items in progress, i.e. the Angels Cove Security System, as well as, that facility’s Landscaping. Our ED notes that the Angels Cove Security System is complete, Krystal indicates that we may not have received all billing for that project yet. GraceHaven Landscaping project for capital not showing any expenses for this year because we tried to take care of it with just items that would be expensed. Rather than major capital improvement. However, this project will be included again in next year’s budget; in case the winter weather proves that the major project still needs to be done. That is the replacement of this porch. Recognition and gratitude is expressed by Denny for Krystal’s husband, Leslie Donelson, an engineer by trade, who has helped us with this project.

B. Investments Report. Krystal advises that it has been an amazing year market value-wise. We began the year with a Fair Market Value of $5.4 million, and we’ve taken out $494,000 to support our operations and capital improvement projects. However, with the gains, both realized and unrealized, we’re sitting at a Fair Market Value of $5.4 million. As of this meeting date, Krystal had not received the September 30th statement from the Illinois Baptist Foundation, so the numbers reflected in the report is as of August 31st

C. 2022 Budget. The 2022 budget calls for total revenues and expenses of $3,905,000. Krystal gave an overview of the budget highlighting key items by ministry. The budget highlights include:

• Oil Lease Royalties of $100,000 have been included in the budget. As Denny noted in his report, the royalties will be used to offset (decrease) our use of investment money used for operations.

• Residential Care We have a 2nd full time maintenance specialist is included in the budget. Two cottages with four sets of fulltime houseparents. Contracts Tutors to assist student with homework. ARC Training and Consultation. Sealing of campus circle.

• Angels Cove. Two sets of houseparents. Case manager/Transportation Coordinator. ARC Training and Consultation. Painting of Cottage.

• Faith Adoptions. Renewal of Haig accreditation is not included.

• GraceHaven. With more historical information, we are able to improve our estimates, and reduce our utilities and maintenance budgets to be more accurate.

• Pathways Counseling. The addition of a FT therapist (salaried) for SE Pathways, and a additional licensed (contractual) and non-licensed (salaried) therapist at Metro East.

• Development. Giving Tuesday Appeal and Fall Festival are being combined. Title I grant income is being moved to “non-development income.” Addition of both a FT marketing person, and a FT development officer.

• General. Retirement of the Director of Accounting and accompanying training and recruitment expense.

Question: The last time there was a search for an ED, 1) were there expenses, 2) how were they handled in the budget, and 3) how do we handled them in this budget? Krystal explains the proposed budget was prepared and submitted to IBSA prior to the 2021 annual meeting, as required. Denny notes that last time, while the board voted to cover moving expenses, recruitment and associated expenses were not in the budget. Further, he notes that the BOT has the ability to change the budget up to within three percent, which is approximately $100,000.00. A buffer that would cover said expenses. In closing on this question, Krystal and Denny share that there are areas (i.e., Workers Compensation premiums, Salaries for open positions, etc.) where budget vs. actual expenses will give us a slight surplus that will allow us to absorb unanticipated recruitment expenses.

Question: Should the BOT choose to the hire of an interim ED, how are those expenses handled? Krystal responds that an interim would receive a salary, and because Denny’s salary is in this budget, a salary expense for an interim ED would be covered. Additionally, Denny’s retirement percentage of between six or eight percent would provide a savings, as a new person would start with a retirement percentage of two percent. Jake Gray recalls that the last time an ED was hired, we authorized the board to spend up to $20,000.00 from our investment account for expenses related to recruitment/hiring of an ED. Krystal concurs, and notes that the BOT has the authority to do so.

Question: Do you have a recommendation that the BOT adjust or change the budget in light of this discussion? As the proposed budget has already been submitted to the IBSA for their

annual book of reports (flagged as “subject to change”), but Krystal is comfortable with leaving it as is and believes we will still meet budget.

Denny highlights and wants the BOT to understand that in this budget, based on his review of the data from the past six or seven years, the proposed Residential Care budget is based on the operation of only TWO cottages. Historical data doesn’t support the sustainability of more than two cottages. Once voted upon this will be a big change to the budget and to staff expectations for next year.

Question: Do we have any tracking on what the residential care budget has been? How has the residential budget changed in regard to staffing? If the budget has stayed the same, and we are only serving 11 children, it is time to address the issue of residential care. Denny responds that staffing overall (the number of staff) has changed dramatically, but the expenses has not decreased. Denny also notes that he made the decision to early in the year to increase the salary of our house parents to make it more marketable. Turnover for the house parent positions is high. It is challenging work.

Question: Is there data available to determine where we stand in comparison with other children’s homes? Denny has exhaustively talk with other ministries, and there is a network of other Baptist Children’s Homes executives, which meets annually. We met last month in San Antonio, TX, and there was discussion about this. Most children’s homes, including Baptists, are closing down cottages. They are moving toward “a family model,” where single moms (and in one case a dad) move into the cottages. The agency then works with the kids, as mom works on her life/job skills to move toward independent living with her/his family. Florida no longer to group home care, and Oklahoma & Alabama are moving away from group home care toward this “family model.” Oklahoma only has one campus (out of three) doing group home care. We are one of the few ministries still offering group home care; the others are Mississippi, New Mexico, and Indiana. Those ministries operating successfully are smaller campuses like Illinois, Indiana, and New Mexico with two or three cottages versus up to 20 buildings.

Question: Do you have an estimate on what percentage of our budget goes to residential care compared to the overall ministry? Because if, for example, we spend 60% of the budget on two cottages, a discussion on viability is warranted. Denny says, in terms of dollars, $1.2 to $1.3 million of our expenses goes to residential care annually.

Question: Are there plans for the shuttered cottages; and in terms of the budget, what provision has been made for maintenance of the shuttered cottages? Denny: Various ideas on alternative uses have been discussed. A number of ideas were brought up during our recent strategic planning retreat. They are assets that should be used for ministry. Krystal: The budget includes funds for maintenance & upkeep of shuttered cottages.

Comments from the floor: 1) If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. 2) In view of the historical data, staffing challenges, and changes in group home care landscape, God may be telling us to study and address issues for the future. 3) This will be important as we go into the recruitment process.

Denny feels the proposed budget is a solid, robust, and doable budget. It is the best we can do to predict 2022. It is only $28,000.00 higher and will allow the new ED to have some flexibility. Comment from the floor: This is amazing in light of the fact that we added the GraceHaven ministry this year, and with that addition, we are only $28,000.00 higher.

Question: Is there data available on how donations are going for nonprofits? Denny: There is a trend upwards that is heavily focused on “mission.” New generations are more focus on the

mission versus historical or denominational value. So, it’s time we communicate our mission better. Perhaps that’s a name change. Perhaps a name that more accurately reflects our mission. Newer generations are moving away from the concept of group homes because children should be in families. That orphanage structure no longer exists. There are truly no orphans in the United States. Should a child have no legal guardian, the State steps in and becomes that guardian, the adult making decisions for those kids.

Comment from the floor: Fox Valley Christian Action runs Riverwoods Family Camp, and they have an apartment dedicated to use by Pastors and pastor families needing R&R. Covenant Harbor Christian Camp and Retreat Center in Lake Geneva offers a similar program to pastors and their families. Recently, we hosted a IMB missionary on furlough from Tanzania who stays on David Jerimiah’s church campus in California, where they have housing for missionaries on furlough.

Question: According to the line item, is the Executive Dinner being canceled in 2022? The Executive Dinner was turned into a fundraiser. Why was the Executive Dinner turned into a fundraiser; how did that come about? Denny: We wanted to have a fundraiser for the GraceHaven ministry, and with COVID-19, the two events were morphed together in 2021. Given the unknowns about the pandemic, social distancing, and the like in the future, that same model (of a combined event) was budgeted for 2022.

Comment from the floor: Danny gives a word of dissent and gives an example of how the Executive Dinner in his region is a celebration, introduction to the BCHFS ministry, with outreach potential. He believes fundraiser for GraceHaven is a wonderful idea but should not replace the Executive Dinner. In the northern part of the state, the BCHFS ministry is not well known. Rebecca expresses concern about clipping the wings of the incoming ED and ask how we can address reinstating Executive Dinners in the budget. Denny says there is very little expense (food costs), and should we choose to have a few executive dinners next year, the costs would be easily absorbed in the proposed budget.

Additional Comment: As we are discussing the budget, both the executive dinner and a GraceHaven fundraiser are essentially programming issues involving discretionary funds. Shouldn’t we approve the budget, and this discussion move to the Development & the Programming committee? There was agreement on discussing programming & development issues later as ordered in the agenda.

3. Financial Committee Recommendation – Emily Tynes. The Finance committee voted to approve the 2022 Budget/Capital Improvements as presented. This comes from the committee as a recommendation to approve the financial reports as presented, and the proposed budget for 2022.

The 2022 Budget & Capital Improvements were unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Development Report – Paula Joy, Director of Development & Marketing

1) The new BCHFS tote bag is introduced and will be used in promotions. The maroon tote not only advertises and promotes BCHFS, but also lists the other ministries available: Faith Adoptions, Pathway Counseling, Angels Cove, & GraceHaven

2) Fundraising Goals and Methods.

a. The Fundraising Dinners – In an effort to reach a different group people, invitations were sent to major gift donors and new donors.

b. Social Media – All program ministries have their own unique Facebook pages. The individual pages will offer detailed information about that ministry. Through this effort we also hope to reach clients. The BCHFS Facebook page is designated to reach and inform our donor base. Comments: Can we post announcements to Associational or Church facebook pages or websites? Can social media be an assigned task, where the person responsible reaches or and posts to these pages, etc.?

c. Through our Virtuous System Specific Marketing or Fundraising Emails – These emails are targeted to a specific interests or significant calendar days. That is, in honor of a birthdate or memoriam; or geared to those with interest in babies or abortion prevention, etc. Prayer prompts are also being posted and have generated a lot of interest and engagement.

d. Marketing/Development Literature are now being updated.

e. Development Officer – Our new development officer is Mariah Bowker who was introduced at the dinner last night. She’s has also been doing client relations for GraceHaven, working to identify our target group. She has visited health departments, schools, churches, and doing diaper drives, etc. She also connecting with Rend Lake College and getting information to students.

f. Fall Festival – Our Fall Festival was a success. Despite attendance being down compared to past years, we tried both “site” and “online” quilt auctions with wonderful auctioneers who donated their time. The quilt auction raised $25,000.00, the largest amount in many year, if not the highest. Quilts went to Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri. Mariah actually hand-deliver the Missouri quilts to the families. While interested in quilts, they had no knowledge of BCHFS, so Mariah was able to share about the BCHFS ministry.

g. Thank You Notes. A general thank you card for BCHFS has been development.

h. Women of Compassion Events. We will be hosting events in northern Illinois, in the suburbs of Elk Grove Village, and the town of Chabanse.

i. The Newsletter – The format has been changed from newsprint to magazine style. Question: What can the board to do to help you? Be a champion. Visit and share with your circles.

Motion to accept the Development Report was made by Jake Gray, and second by Danny Hester. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

3. Slate of Finance Committee Officers for 2022 – Emily Tynes

Emily Tynes, Chairman; Rockell Warren-Daniels, Vice Chair; Doug Haile, Secretary

XI. Program Committee Report and Recommendations – Brock Bauer

Recommendation – The committee recommends that BCHFS not renew its Haig accreditation in 2022.

Rationale: Due to the decrease in international placements, and the willingness of all countries (with the exception of China) to allow home studies to be completed by agencies without Haig accreditation. Additionally, there have been changes in the accreditation body itself, it’s an intensive process, and there are fees associated with accreditation. With these things in mind, it’s the committee’s recommendation that the Haig accreditation NOT be renewed.

The recommendation was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Report of New Officers for the Program Committee for 2022 – Brock Bauer, Chair; Diana HenryAten, Vice-Chair; and, Sarah Clark, Secretary.

Motion made by Jake Gray, and second by Doug Haile. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

XII.Executive Director transition and Ad Hoc Committee Reports – Rebecca Whittington

1. Bylaw review – discussed earlier in the meeting.

2. Review of Position Requirements and Job Description. Tina Grooms shared the Ad Hoc committee review process and presented the changes to the ED job description made with suggestions by Denny Hydrick. A line-by-line review was completed, suggestions were made, and there was discussion on to clarify and include financial background checks pursuant to final attorney review.

The committee modified their recommendation to include the changes discussed and present the ED job description for approval. The recommendation, as discussed, was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

3. Committee to Aid in Transition Planning – Benny Tomlinson. Update: One matter is recommended by the committee, Denny’s laptop computer purchased in 2017 and scheduled to be replaced in 2022. The committee recommends that Denny purchased his laptop for $225, a fifth of the purchase price. After discussion, the recommendation was amended to “give the 4 yr. old laptop computer” to Denny at no cost. This comes from the committee as a motion and a second. The recommendation, as amended was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

4. Office and cybersecurity – The committee reviewed various office and cybersecurity needs in transition. Overall, we are in good shape. Upon further discussion, we need an authorized signatory for the primary operation account to replace Denny Hydrick, where he is the sole signatory. The suggestion is for Emily Tynes, Finance Cmte. Chairperson to be the signatory on those accounts. Any fees required for Bonding will be considered a business cost, so no motion/action on this point is required.

Krystal Donelson secured from the files a previous resolution, which after necessary language changes, will cover the needs discussed here.

Action: Chris Slusser made a motion that the resolution that Emily Tynes, become a signatory on any account where Denny Hydrick was the sole signatory, be approved, subject to necessary language changes. The motion was second by Brock Bauer.

The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

5. Liaison Committee with counsel, insurer. Update: The claim we discussed before in now in the hands of our insurance carrier. Any discussion must be done in executive session.

6. Interim Executive Director – Jake Gray, Sandy Absher, & Sara Ballard. Denny supplied the committee with his thoughts on the Interim position, which Jake shared with the BOT.

Recommendation: No former employee of BCHFS should serve as Interim Executive Director.

• Will an interim be caretaker only or will that person be allowed to apply for the ED position?

• Would we consider a female for the interim position?

Action: Rebecca Whittington, BOT President & Moderator appoints the Advisory Committee to act as the Search Committee for the Interim ED, with the advice and consent of the full board.

XIII. Recognition of Retiring Board Members - Denny Hydrick. Our ED recognized all retiring board trustees: Bennie Tomberlin, Rick Layne, Mark Lee, & Jacob Gray. Thank you all.

XIV. Miscellaneous Items - Rebecca Whittington

ARTICLE XV INDEMNIFICATION

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.

ARTICLE XVI DISSOLUTION

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.

ARTICLE XVII AMENDMENTS

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.
