CONSTITUTION

Illinois Baptist State Association

Complete document approved November 12, 2015

Updates approved November 9, 2023

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 applications for affiliation, as well as constitutions and bylaws, operative documents, statements of faith, (in accordance with Article III Section 2) and other documents requested by the committee, from those churches seeking to affiliate with the IBSA. The IBSA Credentials Committee shall then make recommendations

to the IBSA messengers in session regarding those churches’ requests for affiliation with IBSA.

Section 3. An IBSA member church will be considered a cooperating church when it has submitted an annual church profile and has contributed financially to IBSA through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention the preceding year to fulfill the nature, purpose, and doctrinal affirmation of IBSA.

Section 4. Cooperating churches who subsequently fail to fulfill the requirements of cooperation shall be subject to review and possible dismissal.

1. As soon as possible after the close of the annual meeting the Credentials Committee shall check all available records to determine whether there are churches failing to meet all the expectations of a cooperating church.

2. During the course of the year, the Credentials Committee shall make every effort to encourage non -cooperating churches to begin fulfilling all of the expectations of a cooperating church.

3. The Executive Director of IBSA will assume responsibility for communicating with churches who fail to meet the requirements of a cooperating church. Determination will be made as to the church’s intent/desire to continue as a cooperating church in IBSA. IBSA reserves the right to remove churches who do not fulfill cooperation requirements of IBSA.

4. The Credentials Committee shall report its findings and recommendations at the next annual meeting of IBSA.

Section 5. Each cooperating church of IBSA shall be entitled to four (4) messengers, plus one messenger for each multiple of fifty (50) resident members, except that no church shall exceed fifteen (15) messengers.

Section 6. Voting privileges are given only to seated messengers.

Section 7. Messengers elected and certified by cooperating churches shall be seated at each IBSA annual meeting, upon verification by and recommendation of the Credentials Committee.

Section 8. Churches seeking affiliation with IBSA may have their messengers seated, upon recommendation by the Credentials Committee and approval by IBSA in session.

Section 9. Any motion charging doctrinal incompatibility against an IBSA member church shall only be presented in writing by a messenger at an annual meeting and will be automatically referred to the Credentials Committee.

1. The Credentials Committee shall seek other information or evidence and, along with the accusing messenger, shall consult with the leadership of the church being charged to determine the validity of the charges.

2. The Credentials Committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the next annual meeting of IBSA.

Section 10. Upon recommendation of the Credentials Committee of the Illinois

Baptist State Association in annual session reserves the right to withdraw fellowship, by a 2/3 vote of the messengers present and voting, from any IBSA member church for failure to conform to Article IV Section 3 or Article IV Section 9.

There is also a proposed change as an addition to the Mission Illinois Offering to the Cooperative Program giving as an acceptable criterion to remain in cooperation with IBSA.

• Pages 14 through 16 are Second Readings. These changes primarily focus on consistency with the use of the word chairperson; defining what constitutes a full term of an officer of IBSA, and changes to the Baptist Foundation Bylaws to ensure consistency in wording regarding the execution of documents by the BFI Executive Director. There was no discussion. Vote taken; motion adopted.

50.

Resolution was adopted by affirmation and a round of applause.

• Resolution on Peace in the Middle East and Support for Israel

This resolution speaks to the present crisis in the Middle East. In recognition of the unique significance that Israel, this small plot of land, and the people who inhabit it hold in God’s past and future, Illinois Baptists are urged to pray for peace for the Middle East, through all means but first and foremost through the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Vote taken; resolution was adopted.

It calls Illinois Baptists to seek partnerships with pregnancy resource center and other local organizations, providing help and support to those on the front lines of the pro-life movement within Illinois, and to further bathe every effort in prayer; knowing that only God can transform the current culture into one that values all life.

Vote taken; resolution was adopted.

No other resolutions were submitted from messengers for consideration.

President Nave thanked the Resolutions & Christian Life Committee for helping Illinois Baptists address these critical issues facing Illinois Baptists in our time.

51. President Nave directed the messengers to look at the remaining committee reports in the 2023 Book of Reports:

• Committee on Committees Report on pages 9 through 11, There is one clarification to the Committee on Committees’ report on page 9. Ken Sharp should be listed as a member of Marion First, not Fairview Baptist in Creal Springs.

• Historical Committee Report on page 55, and

• Nominating Committee Report on pages 56 through 59

President Nave explained that for the sake of time, reports would be adopted as a block rather than having the chairperson of each committee bring a motion. Each report comes as a recommendation from the committee submitting it, so a second will not be needed. Vote taken; motion adopted.

52. President Nave called for Miscellaneous Business. There was none.

53. President Nave welcomed to the platform from the Baptist Foundation of Illinois; Board Chairperson Newlin Wollaston, incoming Board Chairperson Pam White, and Executive Director Doug Morrow to present the BFI report and proposed 2024 budget as printed on pages 73 and 74 of the 2023 Book of Reports.

Chairperson Newlin Wollaston provided a brief introduction.

Executive Director Morrow shared “Everything we do for good or for ill in our Christian lives is dependent on, “Can we see eternity from here?” When we invest in people we are investing in eternity. Executive Director Morrow then introduced Judy Shoemaker, Carol Stewart (both in person) and Skip and Joni Leininger (on video) where they shared their personal stories of engaging with BFI and seeing eternity from here. President Nave called for the motion to approve the BFI report and proposed 2024 budget as printed on pages 73 through 74 of the 2023 Book of Reports.

Vote taken; motion adopted.

54. President Nave asked for nominations for the office of Vice President of IBSA for 2023-2024 Noah Lee from Tremont Baptist Church nominated Carlton Binkley, Pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Decatur to serve as IBSA Vice President. There were no other nominations. Motion was made and seconded to elect Carlton Binkley as IBSA Vice President by acclamation. Vote taken; motion adopted.

55. President Nave asked for nominations for the office of Assistant Recording Secretary for IBSA for 2023-2024 Pastor John Sedgwick of New Hope, in Coal Valley nominated Matt Philbrick of First Baptist Church in Ramsey to serve as Assistant Recording Secretary. There were no other nominations. Motion was made and seconded to elect Matt Philbrick as IBSA Assistant Recording Secretary by acclamation.

Vote taken; motion adopted.

56. Executive Director Nate Adams came to the podium to give special recognition to:

• Jack Shelby (1936 to 1923) passed on October 19th. He served IBSA 1999 - 2006 as Director of Missions and Men’s Ministry, Associate Executive Director for Missions Mobilization and with Illinois Baptist Disaster Relief. He was awarded the Robert E. Dixion Lifetime Achievement Award by SBDR. Executive Director Adams commented, “He (Jack Shelby) had long and significant service to the network of churches that is IBSA. It is appropriate that we remember him in this way.”

• The 2022/2023 IBSA Officers, presenting them each with a gift of appreciation:

o President – Michael Nave

o Vice President – Carlton Binkley

o Recording Secretary – Charlene Moe

o Assistant Recording Secretary – Matt Philbrick

57. Worship was led by Dustin Keele and the Cornerstone Worship Team.

58. Pastor Josh Crisp, First Baptist Church in Bethalto, delivered the Annual Sermon to “charge, motivate and encourage” pastors, pastors’ wives, and ministry leaders. Pastor Crisp based his sermon on 1 Kings 19 and the Prophet Elijah. Pastor Crisp noted, no matter how good your ministry is going, it can still be difficult. But “God will give you everything you need when your ministry is difficult. God who loves you, knows you and is personal with you; giving you supply, comfort and reminders that He is your God.” Pastor Crisp challenged us to stop having “Poor ‘ol me parties” and get back on mission with Jesus.

59. The Cornerstone Worship Team led our closing worship through music.

60. President Michael Nave reminded us we will meet again next year at Ashburn Baptist Church in Orland Park, November 13-14. He encouraged the delegates to remember, “…we do not minister alone. We have both a network of churches beside us and God… We are better together and …let us lead our churches to thrive in pursuit of God’s plans.” President Nave led the benediction and adjourned the meeting by gavel at 11:10 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Charlene Moe IBSA Recording Secretary

IBSA President’s Report

Michael Nave

Welcome to the Annual Meeting.

I have the unique honor to serve as both president and host pastor for this year’s gathering.

Thus, it is my privilege to say, “Welcome to our old Wal-Mart building.” This has been our renovation project since 2012, and we are truly grateful for the special place God has provided for us to gather each week! In the nineties, Wal-Mart commercials claimed this building to be the “Savings Place.” By God’s grace, we are seeking to give eternal fulfilment to that 30-year-old marketing campaign!

It is also my joy to say, “We gather together this week celebrating our Association’s cooperative ministry.” Most weeks, we are the Church of Jesus, scattered throughout Illinois, gathering diverse churches and communities. This week, we have travelled and gathered in one place to remember and celebrate the unifying purpose of sharing the Gospel and expanding The Kingdom in Illinois!!!

Seeing the diversity of ministry throughout our churches has been my favorite aspect of serving the IBSA during this past year. Both CarolAnn and I grew up in PalestineAssociational churches: Island Grove for her, and Olive Branch for me. In my early days of ministry, Tom Marsh, from FBC Casey (Westfield Association) served as my mentor. In those early days, all I knew was rural ministry. Now, 30 years later, I am privileged to have dear friends leading ministries in Metro St. Louis, in Chicagoland, scattered throughout our State, and at the hub of our network in Springfield.

I marvel at the grand diversity of Jesus’ Church. I celebrate how God has gifted and anointed each of you for the unique ministry to which He has called you. To Him Be The Glory!!!

In my early years of ministry, I pastored First Baptist Church of Shelburn, Indiana. I have many fond memories of serving with those believers across the state line. In that congregation was a man named O.P. Woodsmall. He was a retired machinist, in his 90s at the time and with corresponding wisdom. My favorite of his pithy phrases was this one: “The day you stop learning is the day you start dying.”

Thirty years later, I’m still challenged by that phrase. To be candid, there are times I wish it weren’t true. I don’t always want to keep learning. Some days, I just want to do what I already know. Some days, I simply want to know that what worked in the past will keep working. And then I again hear O.P. say, “The day you stop learning is the day you start dying.” Today, God is inviting us to keep learning living!

Good News: we will spend all of Eternity discovering the limitless wonder and grandeur of our God! We will not get bored. It will be an Eternity of ceaseless wonder and discovery!

Good News: as we continue to learn how to effectively engage ministry in our rapidly changing world, we know that the Gospel remains unchanging and unfailing!

Good News: as we experience genuine concern about our State and our Nation, we know that Jesus is on The Throne, and we are already seated with Him. Our future is secure! We will reign with Him!

We gather for this Annual Meeting to remember and celebrate our Gospel Partnership in preparation for being sent out, still together, to declare and share The Kingdom of God in Illinois. It is my pleasure and joy to serve with you to that End!

CONSTITUTION

Illinois Baptist State Association

Complete document approved November 12, 2015

Updates approved November 3, 2022

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 AND ENTITIES

The name of this organized body of messengers from voluntarily affiliated Baptist churches organization is Illinois Baptist State Association, hereinafter referred to as The Illinois Baptist State Association or IBSA or the Association.

Through the election of independent boards of directors or trustees, IBSA facilitates ministry to its member churches through three separate entities or corporations: the “mission board” of IBSA (hereafter referred to as “IBSA the corporation”), the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (hereafter referred to as “BCHFS”), and the Baptist Foundation of Illinois (hereafter referred to as “BFI”).

IBSA the corporation 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. 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.

BCHFS is a nonprofit agency that is a ministry of Southern Baptists in Illinois established in 1918 and incorporated in 1939 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Corporation recognizes the value of children and families and is dedicated to providing Christ centered services to protect, heal, and restore.

BFI was formed under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1965 and is organized to serve and further the development of any religious, benevolent, charitable, educational or missionary purpose, undertaking, institution, or agency operated, sponsored, sanctioned, supervised or supported by the Illinois Baptist State Association.

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 affirms, 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, 2000, and 200023. 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, 2000, and 202300, 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 the corporation.

ARTICLE IV

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.

Historical Committee Report

The Historical Committee met on March 21, 2023. Assigned tasks and responsibilities were reviewed.

All the historical items are now back in the archives as part of the cleanup process from the sewer backup in 2020 .

IBSA Executive Director Nate Adams reviewed the status of the timeline project. We currently have a nice brochure available that has a timeline of Illinois Baptists. Progress is being made on completing a display area on the first floor of the IBSA Building in the welcome area of the Resource Room.

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

The Committee met March 14 to discuss potential resolutions to be presented at the 2023 IBSA Annual Meeting and assigned topics to members. The Committee then reviewed drafted resolutions at its September 7 meeting.

The committee held a special-called online meeting October 17 to discuss adding “A Resolution on Peace in the Middle East and Support for Israel” to the 2023 IBSA Book of Reports. After a brief discussion, the committee unanimously passed the resolution to be submitted to messengers.

The Committee recommends the following resolutions for vote at the 2023 IBSA Annual Meeting. Any additional resolutions by messengers are to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 8. The Committee will meet to discuss any newly submitted resolutions, and either prepare those resolutions for presentation and a vote at the Thursday session or recommend that they be referred to the 2024 Resolutions and Christian Life Committee for further work and consideration.

Resolution on Appreciation to Cornerstone Church of Marion

WHEREAS, Cornerstone Church has clearly demonstrated the gift of Biblical hospitality in hosting the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Illinois Baptist State Association; and

WHEREAS, Lead Pastor Michael Nave and the incredible staff and members of Cornerstone Church have so generously offered their facilities to the Illinois Baptist family; and

WHEREAS, the Cornerstone Church worked so tirelessly in full cooperation with IBSA officers, staff, and leadership of this meeting to ensure a successful and profitable annual meeting; now therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the messengers to the 2023 Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting, November 8-9 at Cornerstone Church in Marion, Illinois, express our deepest appreciation to this gracious host church, and pray God’s richest blessing on their leadership team and church family as they continue to share the light of the gospel throughout Southern Illinois and points beyond.

Resolution on Peace in the Middle East and Support for Israel

WHEREAS, God initiated a covenant relationship with Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 12:7-8; Genesis 15), established his Godhead over his people in the covenant with Moses (Exodus 19:3-6; 20:1-3), and in covenant promised David that his progeny would reign over Israel forever (Jeremiah 33:14-17); and

WHEREAS, God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of that promise, grafted the Church, His Body on earth, into that divine relationship and has expressed the desire to bring all Israel unto Himself (Romans 11:22-27); and

WHEREAS, God has throughout history demonstrated his concern for his people, Israel, across more than three millennia, with the distinct admonition that all his people are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6-9); and

WHEREAS, Southern Baptists, as a people of the Book, united in prayer, take God’s directions seriously and responsibly, as evidenced by the response from Southern Baptist Convention entities, including the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, to the recent and ongoing terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas and other militants, prompting military response from the Israeli government, and resulting in civilian deaths in the

thousands on both sides of the armed conflict; and

WHEREAS, the Southern Baptist Convention has historically stood in support of the modern-day nation of Israel, both in their right to exist and in their response to previous attacks from neighboring states and militant groups; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting, November 8-9 at Cornerstone Church in Marion, Illinois, urge all Illinois Baptists to make peace in the Middle East an urgent matter of prayer and a regular part of their private intercession, including the cessation of armed conflict with its mutually destructive devastations, and with the goal of long-term resolution of geopolitical issues unresolved since the advent of Isaac and Ishmael and the Hebrews’ entry into the Holy Land; and be it further

RESOLVED, that Illinois Baptists are urged to honor, support, and uphold in prayer the work of Christians in Israel and the Middle East, both Messianic Jews and Palestinian believers, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with their unbelieving relatives, neighbors on all sides of the conflict, and those who would consider themselves adversaries to the Gospel, that by conversion to the Christian faith and a personal, living relationship with God through Jesus Christ, Himself the Prince of Peace, that true peace may be achieved in that region, first in the hearts of humanity, then among the nations; and be it further

RESOLVED, that Illinois Baptists, through their State Association, join together with the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention in urging national lawmakers and policy makers to sustain support for modern day Israel, even as the Church upholds spiritual Israel before God Almighty.

Resolution on Prayerful and Peaceful Citizenship

WHEREAS, Illinois Baptists believe the biblical truth that there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time; and

WHEREAS, it is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:1-6), that we pray for all people; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting at Cornerstone Church in Marion, Illinois, November 8-9, 2023 will make entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, on behalf of all people, for elected leaders and all who are in authority (1 Tim. 2:1-6); and be it further

RESOLVED, that we will endeavor, as aided by the Holy Spirit, to lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity

Resolution on Supporting Pro-Life Ministries in Illinois

WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade returned to individual states the responsibility to determine abortion restrictions within their borders; and

WHEREAS, Illinois lawmakers previously codified Roe v. Wade into law, ensuring abortion would remain an option in the state regardless of Supreme Court action; and

WHEREAS, an increase in abortion services in Illinois has made our state a “destination” for people from

other states now seeking an abortion; and

WHEREAS, advocates for abortion rights are urging women to seek abortions in “safe haven states” like Illinois by funding travel and accommodations; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the messengers to the Illinois Baptist State Association meeting at Cornerstone Church in Marion November 8-9 celebrate the life-affirming reversal of Roe v. Wade, while acknowledging the responsibility to embrace a holistic perspective on the sanctity of life; and be it further

RESOLVED, that we affirm the work Southern Baptist agencies do to promote a sanctity of life ethic, and will support, through our resources and through prayer, the Illinois Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services as they work to change the cultural tide that would choose abortion over other alternatives; and be it further

RESOLVED, that IBSA churches will seek to partner with pregnancy resource centers and other local organizations, providing help and support to those on the front lines of the pro-life movement; and be it finally

RESOLVED, that we will bathe every effort in prayer, convicted that only God can transform our current culture into one that values all life.

Chairman of the Board of Directors’ Report

Jeff Logsdon

This year the Board has given attention to the first full year of operation following the three-year strategic planning process IBSA has undertaken. Initial reports on goals and measures have been encouraging, and several churches are seeing results in their ministries.

IBSA continues to promote the understanding that every church is a missionary in their community or context. IBSA has more intentionally focused on equipping our churches to fulfill that purpose. While IBSA has continued to provide some expertise, there has been a shift toward more effectively using the human and entrepreneurial resources contained in our member churches. By mobilizing all the resources of IBSA, both those headquartered in Springfield and those scattered in churches throughout the state, it is our hope that the partnerships produce measurable Kingdom results.

The Board continued a format developed last year of hosting an expanded meeting in August. During that meeting, the Board has an opportunity to hear more of Nate’s heart and leadership focus than time usually allows. It was also an opportunity to hear how churches throughout the state are benefiting from our new strategy. This is also a valuable time to better connect with our fellow Board members, which is nurturing an environment of greater collaboration within the Board.

The Board also had an opportunity to hold our August Committee meetings in the newly renovated office space on the first floor of the IBSA office building. The layout of the new space seemed to promote greater discussion and collaboration which will benefit the work of the Board going forward.

I want to personally thank the 2023 IBSA Board of Directors for their commitment to providing oversight of the IBSA with wisdom and integrity. I want to especially thank Paul Cooper for his service as Board Secretary during the past year and Bruce Kirk for serving alongside me as Board Vice Chair for the past two years. The commitment this Board has to Illinois Baptists and to the Kingdom of God as a whole is inspiring. It is an honor to serve alongside these men and women. It is also an honor to serve with the IBSA staff. Nate and the entire team at IBSA provide thoughtful, God honoring leadership for Illinois Baptists throughout the year.

Please continue to pray for Nate Adams, our IBSA Executive Director, the IBSA staff, and the IBSA Board for 2024. Vice Chair Bruce Kirk will assume the role of Board Chair. I have valued serving alongside Bruce for the past two years. I have benefitted greatly from his wisdom and compassion. Josh Bledsoe will assume the role of Vice Chair and Paul Cooper will continue as Board Secretary. Both these men have already provided valuable leadership within the IBSA Board. I have appreciated the opportunity to serve Illinois Baptists these past two years. It is an honor to serve Illinois Baptists and to partner with you to serve our Lord.

Executive Director’s Report Dr. Nate Adams

Our devoted IBSA staff continues to passionately pursue the mission of “delivering network value that inspires each church to thrive, in health, growth, and mission.” We pursue that mission with five specific strategies. Three are “church-facing” strategies: Health, Growth, and Mission. And two are “network-facing” strategies: Engagement and Partnership. Each strategy has statements of measure, and from those more general statements of measure flow specific, annual goals and metrics, approved by the IBSA Board and monitored throughout the year.

While year-end data from the 2023 Annual Church Profile will not be available until January 2024, below are a few highlights of IBSA’s ministry outcomes thus far in 2023:

•Through September, 10 new churches have been planted in Illinois, with the possibility of more by the end of the year. About 50 church plants are currently in some stage of development, from planning to gathering, to launching, to constitution and affiliation.

•In addition to those new church plants in progress, 6 new churches are being presented for affiliation with IBSA and celebrated at this year’s IBSA Annual Meeting.

•96 churches have been trained in developing intentional evangelism strategies, and 428 students thus far have been trained to share their faith, with fall Youth Encounter events soon to be added to that total. IBSA’s annual goal is to train at least 1,000 students in personal evangelism. We were encouraged to see baptisms bounce back by 41% in 2022, and we continue to hear anecdotal evidence of continued increases in baptisms in several churches this year.

•Through August, 1,257 volunteers from 112 churches had participated in IBSA-coordinated mission projects. In partnership with NAMB’s Send Relief and Chicagoland Baptists, IBSA churches participated in the August 4-5 Chicago Serve Tour, drawing more than 700 volunteers from 67 churches to 46 projects that saw 982 Gospel conversations and 26 salvations.

•Our 2023 goal of increasing from 100 to 150 the number of IBSA churches engaged in an intentional, Next Step consulting process is well underway, with 136 churches engaged through August.

•Through September, 618 pastors and leaders have participated in leadership development processes, and 1,992 workers from hundreds of churches have been trained in various church ministry skills.

•Throughout 2023, IBSA has been diligently planning to host in Springfield more than 1,000 leaders from 12 Midwest states at the January 23-25 Midwest Leadership Summit. More than 300 leaders are expected from IBSA churches.

•As of the end of August, IBSA’s Health Team and its trained pathfinders and coaches are now engaged in an intentional revitalization process with 84 churches and 15 Associations. 32 new pastors have entered coaching relationships, adding to the total of 128 who were coached during the previous two years. 17 churches are utilizing the Church Renewal Journey as a strategy, with 8 churches having completed a weekend and another 9 scheduled.

•Through August, IBSA staff have directly trained or assisted 30 IBSA churches in their pastor search processes.

•While gatherings and face-to-face contact have continued to be a challenge for many in 2023, IBSA staff have made a concerted effort to connect with and engage pastors and churches through phone, e-mail, webinars, and videoconferencing. Through August, our staff had direct contact with 69% of IBSA churches, and we continue to pursue a goal of reaching at least 85% by the end of the year

•Participation at our two IBSA Camp properties continues to resurge in 2023. Through August, 93 groups from 204 unique churches have used one of IBSA’s two camps, for a total of 3,786 campers. And Streator Baptist Camp recorded another new high in camper participation this year, hosting 1,756 campers through August, compared to a 2022 year-end total of 1,182.

•2023 Cooperative Program giving from churches through September is similar to the same period in 2022. Some churches have been reporting concerns about issues at the national SBC level that may be affecting CP giving, but we are hopeful that these will continue to resolve, and that the 100th anniversary of the Cooperative Program in 2025 will give churches a renewed passion for and confidence in Cooperative Program giving.

•Renovation of the IBSA Building’s first floor was completed early this year. Visitors and IBSA’s many committee and board members now enjoy a new café and meeting area just inside the building’s primary entrance.

As 2023 draws to a close and we prepare to enter 2024, IBSA is beginning a “For the Pastor” emphasis, designed to deliver practical care, encouragement, and forward momentum for IBSA pastors. Included in the emphasis will be surveys and focus groups to better understand pastors’ deepest needs, resources, retreats and other encouraging gatherings for both pastors and spouses, and partnership with local associations and others to further expand IBSA’s capacity for delivering more intentional and consistent pastor care.

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.

8.Kevin Carrothers offered greetings from the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services. Shared from Matthew 9 on Jesus and compassion for the people in need of a shepherd.

9.Jeff Logsdon announced that the IBSA Nominating Committee recommends that Jeff Miller (First Baptist Church, Marion in Williamson Association) fill the vacancy on the IBSA Board of Directors (a Class A term expiring in 2023).

The IBSA Nominating Committee recommends that Sarah Bordewick (First Baptist Church, Mt. Zion in Central Association) fill the vacancy on the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services Board of Trustees (a Class B term expiring in 2024).

The board officially accepted that report. The board voted unanimously to elect the candidates for these two Board openings proposed by the Nominating Committee.

Nate Adams reminded the board that Alex Crain’s nomination from the Committee on Committees to fill a Class A position on the Committee on Order of Business also needed to be brought forward. The board voted unanimously to elect Alex Crain to that position as well.

10.Report on Committee Selections to Board Officer Nominating Committee given: LaRue Parr-Administrative, Jeff Logsdon – Strategic Planning, and Curt Lipe – Resource Development Jeff Logsdon will convene the group.

11. The Executive Director’s Report was presented by Nate Adams. Nate shared about the Cycle of Key Board Actions, explaining the work of the IBSA Board and the various committees. Nate reminded the board of the 2022 ACP reports. It’s a rebound year, but still not all the way back to 2019 levels. Nate mentioned the 2022 Church Needs Survey and how it helped give the IBSA information on how to help churches. Nate mentioned reviewing the 2022 IBSA Goal Recap and how well the IBSA did.

Next Nate showed the IBSA Vision Frame and mentioned how the IBSA is using this for IBSA strategic long-term planning. Nate then highlighted some of the 2024 proposed church-facing (2, 5, 8, and 11) and network-facing goals (2, 4, and 9) that were new.

Nate then gave several quick updates on contracts, vacancies at IBSA, how IBSA is having to field questions on national SBC issues, IBSA’s 2024 budget, IBSA’s 2022 audit, the 2024 Midwest Leadership Summit, and how churches are responding positively to IBSA Revitalization and “Next Step” consulting. The IBSA is engaged in “Next Step” consulting with 114 churches, toward the 2023 goal of 150.

The board was then shown an updated organization chart. Nate highlighted the addition of Paul Westbrook as Associate Executive Director, a role which he will start on July 1st. Paul will manage IBSA’s church-facing teams. Mark Emerson will begin to manage IBSA’s networkfacing teams.

Nate shared before and after slides of the new renovated first-floor space in the IBSA building. The space is now 95% complete and has generational improvements.

Jeff Logsdon had Bruce Kirk take the chair.

12.The Strategic Planning Committee Report was presented by Noah Lee, committee chair. Noah highlighted the minutes from the committee’s February meeting.

The committee brought a motion to approve the IBSA Vision Frame and 2024 goals and celebration targets as presented. The Board unanimously approved the motion.

13.The Resource Development Committee Report was presented by Josh Bledsoe, committee chair.

Josh brought forward two motions from their committee: the approval of the 2022 Audit Report Recommendation and the 2024 Cooperative Program Goal and Ratio Recommendation. The Board unanimously approved both motions separately.

14.The Administrative Committee Report was presented by Bob Dyer, committee chair.

Bob Dyer made the committee's motion for consideration of input to the IBSA Constitution Committee regarding the number of IBSA standing committees. The consideration is for input on possibly eliminating the Historical and Resolution and Christian Life committees.

Tracy Smith asked a question of who would pick up those responsibilities from those committees if eliminated. Nate Adams responded that the reduction has been suggested by some on the IBSA Committee on Committees because it is sometimes hard to fill all the positions on committees. Nate said the Historical Committee responsibilities could be assumed by IBSA staff. Resolutions Committees are being eliminated in some other state conventions because of motions that have become so divisive rather than uniting. Most of these state conventions allow their Board of Directors to bring resolutions when deemed necessary.

Kevin Carrothers asked if all resolutions would have to go through the Board of Directors. Nate Adams responded that the Constitution Committee would need to define who all can handle future resolutions.

Tanja Sedabres mentioned that she thinks the committees can be absorbed. Tracy Smith asked for clarification on how this change would take place. Nate Adams said the Constitution Committee would provide general guidelines and then the Board would have to figure out how it would handle resolutions using those general guidelines. Nate said this is currently an issue the Constitution Committee is just looking into at the moment.

There was more group discussion about whether this takes the changes far enough. Jerry Higdon responded that this is the first step of possible more change to committees becoming more

streamlined. Nate mentioned that the more committees get removed that the Board would have to handle more things. Committees are a way to get more people from the congregations involved.

Rob Schneider asked for clarification on what is currently being asked of the Board. Nate answered that he wanted the board to hear that the idea was being discussed, because it might mean more responsibility for them. Tracy Smith asked for an idea about how difficult it is to fill committee vacancies. Nate said there are usually 2-3 unfilled at the annual meeting that have to later be filled. Mitchell Johnson talked about the tough balance of being both efficient and providing more engagement to the people in the churches. Josh Bledsoe mentioned that we aren’t the ones voting on a constitutional change.

Jeff Logsdon suggested we let the Administrative Committee report back on these things to us in time for our August gathering. Nate said that would delay the Constitution Committee a year. The Constitution Committee will meet in late August to consider the matter. Jeff asked if we could have a special Board meeting at our August gathering to discuss the issue further and make a recommendation before the late August Constitution Committee meeting.

Mike Thomas said he previously served on the Constitution Committee and he believes they need input soon. He asked for a recommendation today to tell the Constitution Committee to rewrite the Constitution to eliminate the two committees.

Bruce Kirk returned the chair to Jeff Logsdon. Jeff received the motion from Mike Thomas and there was a second from Tracy Smith.

Noah Lee asked if the Constitution Committee needed us to give direction to make their decision. Multiple people said no. Tracy Smith said the Committee wants to hear from the board.

Jeff asked if Mike Thomas and Tracy Smith would be willing to withdraw their motion. They did. Jeff asked the board to say the Constitution Committee had our blessing to continue to look into the issue. The board unanimously voted for that.

15.Under miscellaneous business: Jeff acknowledged the Board officers. He then discussed the August Board gathering.

16.On the Motion of Rene Escalante and seconded by Bob Dyer, the Board voted to enter Executive Session. Those members who were on the phone were allowed to participate.

17.The Board returned from Executive Session on the Motion of Mitchell Johnson and seconded by Tonja Sedabres. The meeting was adjourned on the motion of Mitchell Johnson and seconded by Tonja Sedabres. The closing prayer was made by Rene Escalante.

Respectfully Submitted,

Paul Cooper, IBSA Board Secretary

BAPTIST FOUNDATION OF ILLINOIS 2023 Report to the Associations

Larry Douglas Morrow, Jr. Executive Director

Life Stewardship

BFI’s work in the Life Stewardship area probably, more than any other division, represents the heart of BFI. We provide our most custom, time sensitive work in the area of Christian Estate Planning. This service— often the largest single act of stewardship—is provided without charge. BFI has helped close to 200 families put a Christian Estate Plan in place. Collectively, they will give over $250 million to permanently support Kingdom causes. BFI also continues to see churches and individuals throughout the state utilize the Biblical Financial Management video study to grow in the area of Christian stewardship. This eightpart video series (with downloadable study guides) is available for free under the “Resources” tab of our website.

Church/Ministry Loans

The year 2023 marks the 10th Anniversary of BFI investing in church expansion through our bond program. Sold in $1,000 increments, these bonds provide a low cost loan for the church while returning a stable, low risk return to the investor. In ten years, BFI has written 92 bond issues for churches and ministries in every section of our state. In this same time period, BFI has raised more than $21 million for the loans. To date, BFI has operated our loan and bond program without default.

Custodial Investing

BFI offers several ways for Christ followers to save that are designed to honor the Lord both with their object (where the funds are invested) and method (how the funds are invested). In 2023, both our Cash (2.00%) and Bonds account (4.75% for a 5 year maturity) rates hit high water marks. Over the last ten years, the Long Term Fixed Income has produced a steady yield of 4.71% and an average return of 5.60% per year through 2022. The balanced fund is our newest, begun in 2019. It has seen an average total return of 12.5% since the fund began. BFI currently manages 1,715 custodial accounts valued at more than $64 million. In the last ten years, these accounts have generated more than $10 million in interest which returned to Illinois Baptist churches and individuals.

Educational Scholarships

Providing educational scholarships is the oldest area of our work. BFI manages 34 scholarship endowments and each year distributes somewhere between $80,000 - $100,000 depending on earnings and the number and type of applicants. In the last ten years, BFI has invested approximately $800,000 in the education of Illinois Baptists students.

Church Legacy

The Legacy Program allows closing churches to revert their remaining assets to BFI and then establishes a “missions fund” in the churches name. This fund provides ongoing support for organizations the church selects—in perpetuity—while allowing the church to have ongoing impact long after the doors are closed. In addition to the “funds” creation, BFI works with church planting partners to attempt to replant a new church start at that location. To date, 38 churches have had their resources maintained through the Legacy Program for an approximate value of $2.24 million. Of this number, 23 have resulted in a church that is either space sharing, re-planted, or now meeting at that location.

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.

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.

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.

Executive Director’s Report

Kevin Carrothers

It is harvest season. Every day I see combines and wagons full of grain. Despite a cool, wet spring and a very dry summer, the Lord has produced a crop for the harvest. The words of Solomon come to mind. “For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven” (Eccl. 3:1 ASV).

As I complete my ninth month as Executive Director, I have been reflecting on the seasons that we have experienced during this time. They consist of a variety of seasons that the agency has been encountering: learning, celebration, challenge, faithfulness. The season of learning is flowing through the ministry of BCHFS. With almost twothirds of the staff being new to the agency or in new roles in the past two years, we are learning together as we grow in the knowledge and understanding of our roles. This also provides us the opportunity to look at things through fresh eyes and imagine what could be. We are also getting to know one another as we work together. Our clients are learning too. Whether it is school work or parenting skills or biblical truth, they receive opportunities to grow in faith and in life skills.

The celebration season is a joyous time. One of the most joyous times happens when a young man or woman professes faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In 2022, we celebrated that occasion 5 different times. This year we have seen 7 residents come to faith in Christ through the ministry of Angels’ Cove and Baptist Children’s Residential Care. We are pleased to have two cottages open on campus, one for girls and one for boys. (The first time in two years boys have been on campus.)

There have been seasons of challenges. The first half of 2023, we were understaffed in the house parent positions. There are legal issues involving new legislation and litigation that we continue to monitor and navigate. We grieve the death of our board chair, Rebecca Whittington who faithfully served BCHFS for six years.

The season of faithfulness is a testimony to the great and glorious God whom we serve. He has provided staff in His timing and in our need. He blesses us with the resources to serve hurting children and families and individuals in need. His goodness is all around us, as He brings people to us who are looking for help and hope. This season is one of thanks to you, our churches and donors. Your faithful investment in the lives of young men and women have made an eternal impact. Because of you, the gospel has been shared and souls have been saved. To God be the glory for the great things He has done!

Pending approval at press time.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

THE OFFICIAL ANNUAL REPORT OF BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME AND FAMILY SERVICES

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The changing seasons offer opportunities to experience different aspects of life. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” (Eccl. 3:1) In The Seasons of God, Richard Blackaby describes the seasons this way: “Spring is the time of beginnings, exciting opportunities, and anticipation for the future. Seeds planted in this time will then take root and mature during summer’s labor, producing a harvest in the fall, a reaping of our efforts. Then everything draws to a close in winter.”

I am excited about the spring season that is upon BCHFS and what God desires to do through this ministry to serve children and families. We are committed to our mission of “providing Christ-centered services that protect, heal and restore.” Over the past year we served more individuals than the previous year. The ministries of Pathways Counseling and Faith Adoptions have experienced growth in counseling sessions and home studies for adoptive parents. GraceHaven continues moving forward with a message of life and hope in Jesus Christ to mothers with unexpected pregnancies. Residential care at Angels’ Cove and Baptist Children’s Home Carmi Campus offer a supportive home environment to their residents. Even the spring season offers turbulent weather at times. The same is true for BCHFS. Cultural challenges offer opportunities to communicate the hope and life found in Jesus Christ. There are continued staffing needs in the development, maintenance and residential areas. Our investments suffered from the economic decline of 2022. The good news is that our God reigns. Despite some turbulence, He will continue to provide for all of our needs as we faithfully carry out His mission.

We are thankful for the Lord’s provision in bringing new staff to BCHFS and supplying the material needs to serve our clients and residents. We are also thankful to you our generous churches and donors for your partnership in this ministry.

In Christ Alone, Kevin Carrothers Executive Director, BCHFS

BCHFS Board of Trustees

Meeting Minutes

January 28, 2023

1. Call to Order & Prayer. Rebecca Whittington called to order the regular meeting of the BCHFS Board of Trustees (BOT) at 9:01 a.m. on January 28, 2023, at the GraveHaven Pregnancy Resource Clinic, 4227 Lincolnshire Drive, Mt. Vernon, IL 62864. Rebecca Whittington calls for an opening prayer by Brian Fuller, with special prayer & praise report on the health of Doug Haile’s dad, and appreciation for the legacy of BCHFS Board support by the Haile family.

2. Prayer of Commission. Rebecca Whittington introduces ex officio member, Nate Adams, Executive Director of the IBSA to pray a Prayer of Commission over our new Executive Director (ED), Kevin Carrothers and his family as he begin his new role as BCHFS Executive Director.

Bro. Nate pledges his continued support and friendship to our new ED and launches this commissioning prayer time with a thought from John 14:23: “Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” Noting that the word “home” is central to the ministry of BCHFS and, in fact, is central in our name. You offer “home” however temporary in every ministry at BCHFS (BCH-Carmi, GraceHaven, Angel’s Cove, Faith Adoption and Pathways Counseling), and ultimately, “home” in Jesus Christ as our Savior. Recalling The Wizard of Oz, Nate notes “there is no place like Home.” Prayer is offered for Kevin and family by Nate Adams, various board members, and this prayer time is closed by Rebecca Whittington.

Kevin introduces his dear family: his wife, Jennifer, his son Ian, and his daughter Elena.

3. Comments & Roll Call. Cheryl Dorsey gives a brief overview of her process in recording minutes. The minutes are produced from recordings taken with her locked iPhone as well as with her hard copy notes. The recordings are unlabeled. Once the minutes of a meeting are ratified by the BOT, the recording is deleted. A Draft, MS Word copy of the minutes is transmitted to Melinda & Kevin. Melinda removes the “Draft” watermark & posts to the Board Portal, which is the official copy of the our minutes. When Cheryl reviewed the minutes on the portal, she discovered that they had been accidentally altered with highlighting and red lettering of an entire section by “anonymous.” We should be advised that Google Docs is a collaboration tool, that allows group member to work on & revise a shared document. For this reason, Cheryl recommends we return to the past practice of posting a PDF of our minutes to the portal. This will prevent accidental revisions. Any need for revision may be presented by any board member during the “Approval of Minutes” portion of the board meeting.

The following members were present: Sandy Absher, Eric Bramlet, Brad Burzynski, Ron Daniels, Tom Denton, Cheryl Dorsey, Brian Fuller, Tina Grooms, Doug Haile, Danny Hampton, Diana Henry-Aten, Rick Layne, Jason Plumer, Steve Richard, Chris Slusser, David Smith (via Zoom), Wendee Turner, Marilyn Vaughan, and Rebecca Whittington.

Break. Meeting is called to order by Rebecca Whittington at 10:22 a.m. A quorum is present.

10. Executive Director’s (ED) Report –Kevin Carrothers

Kevin provides his first quarterly reports. A written copy of the report may be found on the Board Portal. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:” Winter feels like the longest period of the year, but in order for Spring to come, Winter must occur. During seasons of dormancy, and barrenness God is working.

Kevin shares the many ways that God was working at BCHFS during our “winter season,” and noting how some things seen as negative were ultimately positives for BCHFS [see ED Report].

• Staff shortages protected revenue finances.

• Number of clients served has increased.

• BCH is fully staffed at Garrison Cottage

• Transition/Movement in Staffing, 22 new positions

• Meeting as a staff more often, including meeting to pray for and about the organization.

• Conduct a 360 Degree Evaluation with staff, clients, and other stakeholders over the next six months.

Despite the winter season,Kevin is encouraged because BCHFS continued to provide Christ-centered services that protect, heal, and restore children and family services.

11. Recognition of Years of Service – Kevin Carrothers

Paula Joy – 10 years and Phil Mitchell – 20 years. Kevin presents Paula with a check in recognition of her anniversary, and Phil will receive his during the work week.

Resolutions attached.

13. Administrative Committee Report & Recommendations – Tom Denton

The Administrative committee met in their regular meeting on January 23rd and a single recommendation (as detailed in the Administrative section of the Board Portal).

Recommendation #1 – Motion to allow $30,000 of the ED’s gross salary to be designated as Housing Allowance, effective February 1, 2023. (See Administrative Section of the Board Portal). Eric Bramlet and Rebecca Whittington discussed the recommendation, and this is in keeping with how Kevin has handled this in the past. We are seeking CPA review but that will not be available until for several weeks. Since this cannot be handled retroactively, the recommendation is to approve now, and change accordingly should the opinion require it. Kevin notes he contacted the ED in Missouri and learned that the Missouri Baptist Children’s Home do the same thing.

The committee approved the motion as proposed. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Direction to Seek Legal Opinion on the recommendation above.

The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

14. Finance Committee Report & Recommendations –Sandy Absher

The Finance committee met in their regular meeting on January 28th prior to our Board meeting. Our Director of Accounting, Christopher Cox, makes the 4th Quarter Financial Reports.

A. 4th Quarter Financial Reports –Christopher Cox, Director of Accounting, gives an overview of current BCHFS financial reports. [See Board Portal/ Finance for financial reports.]

B. Chris also reviewed the Investment Report with the BOT, giving an overview of the report available on the Board Portal. For the year market value is down 23.14%, which is in line with the stock market for the year.

There was significant discussion on the ideal role/use of endowment fund, that is, to build the fund to the extent that we are “living off the increase” as opposed to drawing down from the principal. Currently, we draw down from the principal of our Endowment Fund. Ideals were also discussed on marketing strategies, i.e. estate planners, funeral directors associations, family attorneys, and other affinity groups.

D. Development and Marketing Reports – Paula Joy, Director of Development, gives an overview of development and marketing activities during the 4th Quarter. Paula attributes her love of missions to Ron Daniels, who as her youth pastor, invited her to “go on mission” during her teenage years. Expressing her appreciation for both Ron and his dear late wife, Delores.

The Holiday Appeal was budgeted to raise $100,000, and realized $71, 614.00. Paula also reported on the IBSA Annual Meeting activities, which included “Buckets of Blessings” delivered by IBSA staff to Pathways, Angels Cove and GraceHaven. In terms of outreach, Paula 47 visits during the year. [Please see Paula’s written report for specifics, which was distributed at the board meeting. The report is also posted on the portal.]

Doug Haile makes a motion that the BOT approves the Development and Marketing reports as presented. The motion was seconded by Jason Plumer and approved by the BOT by Roll Call.

15. Program Committee Report & Recommendations –Ron Daniels

Ron Daniels reports the Program Committee make on January 24, 2023 with four of the seven member in attendance. Ron expressed appreciation to the program managers, who attended the meeting and made an inpersonreport.

Recommendation #1 – Approve the motion to serve only adults (expectant mothers) in Angels Cove, and suspend servicing minors under 18 years of age. Rationale: DCFS contacted Doug Devore on Dec. 14th , they has changed a DCFS interpretation from 2000. As a result, minors and adults cannot be housed in the same space. They must have separate facilities and staff. The Carmi location is not an option, due to the distance from OB/GYN care. Currently, we have no minors and would not accept minors until research is completed. In the last five years, we have served 30 adults and 5 minors.

Kevin suggests tabling the recommendation until the April BOT, after completion of due diligence and feasibility study. Brad Burzynski suggests reaching out to legislators on the issue. There is concern about giving up a license to serve minors at Angels Cove (current through June 2023). The re-application process is a long and arduous one, hence the concern about giving up a license prematurely.

After discussion, Eric Bramlet makes the following motion: That the BOT make a decision to only serve adults at Angels Cove and suspend the housing of minors under 18 years of age, AND to develop a plan to look at having a separate space for minors to pursue renewing our license. The motion was seconded by Tom Denton. The motion was approved by Roll Call.

16. Search Committee Final Report – Eric Bramlet

Rebecca Whittington compliment Eric Bramlet on leading the Search Committee, with not only his legal skills, but also with his incisiveness, for pushing the committee deadline, and for the outcome. With the hiring of our new ED Kevin Carrothers, Eric Bramlet gives his final report as ED Search Committee Chair. It was a long arduous process, and can’t say it was always a fun process, but there were some shining moments. Eric thanks the entire committee, and extends special thanks to retired board member, Kevin Hutchinson, who was

always a light in the darkness, and Cheryl Dorsey for the love, prayer, support, and insight she gave to the committee. Further, Eric strongly states that we owe Doug Devore a debt of gratitude, for stepping up an coming out of retirement to help us. “It was a tough, tough year.” Eric recommend that the BOT does something materially for Doug, like a $2,500.00 travel gift. Rebecca agrees notingthat in manner ways it was a legacy issue.

Ron Daniels makes a motion that the BOT award Doug Devore a $2,500 monetary gift to be used however he’d like. The motion was seconded by Doug Haile. The motion was unanimouslyapproved by Roll Call.

On behalf of the search committee, Cheryl Dorsey wanted to commend Eric Bramlet on his leadership, and his focus. No matter how a vote went down, Eric was to first to say “this is the committee’s decision.” He did a yeoman’s job.

Eric Bramlet makes a motion to disband the Executive Director Search Committee, and the motion is seconded by Danny Hampton. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Those absent: Rebecca Whittington , Chris Slusser, David Smith, Sandy Absher, Cheryl Dorsey. Based on the foregoing Roll Call, a quorum was established.

4. Correspondence from Absent Trustees: Andrea Spicer missed too many meetings last year so she was removed from the board and replaced with Sarah Bordewick. David Smith and Sandy Absher have resigned.

5. Approval of Minutes of January Board Meeting: Ron Daniels moved for approval of the January 28, 2023, board minutes as presented, with Tom Denton seconding said motion. After a call for vote on the motion, the minutes from the January 28, 2023, board meeting were approved.

6. Adoption of Agenda: Upon motion by Doug Haile and seconded by Rick Layne, the proposed Agenda was adopted by vote of the board.

7. Welcome to Visitors and Announcements: The board welcomed new member Sarah Bordewick to the board and to the meeting.

8. Seating of New Trustees: Sarah Bordewick was seated as a new trustee to the board.

9. 2022 Audit Report: The designated representative from the accounting firm preparing the 2022 annual audit was not available due to travel issues. Therefore, the 2022 Audit Report was deferred.

10. Remembering Why…2023 Mother’s Day Appeal Kevin Carrothers and Paula Joy presented the 2023 Mother’s Day appeal and stated that packets had been sent to churches. Kevin is presented on the 2023 video appeal to share his story of losing his parents last year and to introduce him to the churches throughout the state.

11. Executive Director’s Report. Executive Director Kevin Carrothers addressed the Mission Statement of BCHFS. He read Matthew 7: 24‐27, the ending of the Sermon on the Mount. He discussed this spring season and the wind, rain and destruction that has occurred. He compared it to 1918 when similar issues happened with a focus on looking towards the future. There will always be rising waters, wind and rain. However, as long as BCHFS is based on Jesus Christ and a firm foundation to withstand against the forces against it, we will continue on Christ based stability.

Kevin Carrothers reported on the following items:

o Angel’s Cove: new house parents have been hired.

o Development Officer: New placement for Southern Illinois.

o Faith Adoption: Valari Veteto is out on medical leave. Jessa Karcher is out on maternity leave. Regina Thompson is helping out with Faith Adoption in their absence.

o Staffing Needs: 4 residential house parents; 1 for Angel’s Cove

o Marketing: The marking specialist resigned and whether to have in‐house or a contractual service is being evaluated.

o Investment updates: The funds at both the Southern Baptist Foundation and the Baptist Foundation of Illinois were reviewed on a 15 year look back to 2009. The SBF has held its own and is still somewhat healthy but more funds are needed to keep up with expenditures. Cash flow to date has been better than 2022. God does provide. Kevin’s goal is to get the endowment up from approximately 6.8 million dollars to ten million dollars. The funds at the Baptist Foundation of Illinois have done well. Grace Haven was funded largely from the fund. There is in place a cap of 5% spending policy on the fund. This is being lowered to 4% to help increase the size of the fund.

o Angel’s Cove Licensure: Discussion was led by Kevin Carrothers regarding the licensing of Angel’s Cove which had been tabled since the January meeting. Due to state regulations, unassociated minors and adults should not be housed together. As most of the need at Angel’s Cove is for non‐minors, the proposal was to give up the licensing for housing of minors at Angel’s Cove. BCHFS can always re‐apply if the needs arise and appropriate facility changes are made. It was also discussed that any minors coming with a need could be referred to another home or could be housed at the girls’ residential facility at Carmi.

Based on the foregoing, motion was made by Eric Bramlet and seconded by Tom Denton to voluntarily surrender the license for minors at Angel’s Cove while preserving the right to re‐apply in the future as facts and circumstances dictate. The motion passed with one “Nay” vote.

o Remodeling Projects: Garrison Cottage – The kitchen will be remodeled and funded by the Women of Compassion and the Lighthouse Church in Huntley, Illinois. The basement at Grace Haven is to be re‐modeled to allow an outside entrance to get to the

boardroom. This project will also be funded by the Lighthouse Church, which has been disbanded, but their funds are still being used for Christian faith‐based projects.

o Kevin Carrothers is doing a 360‐degree review with staff members. This allows Kevin to meet and get to know the Staff and see what their visions and goals are. He plans to follow up with this program with the board of trustees, families and with pastors.

12. Administrative Committee Report and Recommendations: The report was given by Tom Denton. No recommendations at this time.

13. Finance and Development Committee Report and Recommendations: The report was given by Rick Layne. CFO Chris Cox reviewed the financials for the 2023 first quarter.

The only capital budget item was payment for a furnace at Angel’s Cover in the 1st quarter of 2023. It was further reported that two life insurance policies were paid to BCHFS as a result of a donor’s death in the amount of $32,191. They are hoping for a large Mother’s Day offering. A Zoom meeting was held by the Committee with the Auditors to review the 2022 audit report, which was not fully completed at the time of the Committee meeting.

8 2022 Audit Report: The 2022 Audit Report from ATLAS CPAs and Advisors was presented by Loni Woodley. He stated it was an unqualified opinion, meaning there were no issues found. The board was provided with a balance sheet that contained BCHFS assets and liabilities which was reviewed by the Auditors. A Statement of Expenses showed nothing of note other than the investments impacts. There is an internal control issue. The internal controls and issues were discussed, as BCHFS is not able to have a larger staff to totally separate accounting and finance functions because of its small size.

ATLAS Discussed issues during the audit due to their staff assigned to the audit. The late audit report put BCHFS at risk, as the renewal with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is still pending due to the late report.

9. Investment report: Southern Baptist Foundation CEO Warren Peek and Vice President of Investments Jim Mooney provided the 2022 Investment Report. Their mission is to put Christ first above all other things. Jim Mooney covered the endowment and investments, which are in two different funds. 2022 was a tough investment year with 2023 looking to be stronger. Rising interest rates led to poor performance 2022 BCHFS investments were consistent and ahead of index funds. Inflation is decreasing which is a good sign for the investment market. Southern Baptist Foundation filters investments to be consistent with the gospel.

7. Remembering Why . . . Pathways Counseling / Guy Willims, Program Manager. A 12 yr. old client asked Guy this week, “Have you always wanted to be a counselor?” We learned that originally Guy wanted to be a Nuclear Engineer until God changed his trajectory & he became a Counselor with a Christian perspective. YTD Pathways has conducted 4285 sessions, by comparison in 2022, we conducted 5179 sessions for the entire year. For 2023 through the end of the third quarter we have served 573 clients & 354 ancillaries (i.e., parents, spouse, or other related to but not the client). Numbers do not tell all the stories, and the stories are so varied and numerous, Guy shares that “counselors at Pathways get a “front-row seat” to God’s miracles.” He shares the success story of “Kay” [name changed], a 50-year-old who struggled with OCD experiencing isolation and fear & trouble making decisions. through 20 sessions over 7 ½ months, Kay was able to identify and trauma from her teenage years was causing her anxiety, and learned coping mechanisms, tools & scriptures dealing with anxiety which have brought her to a place of peace & “courage in Christ.”

8. Executive Director’s (ED) Report – Kevin Carrothers

Kevin provides his quarterly report, as well as the development report, as Paula Joy is out today attending her son’s wedding A written copy of the report can be found on the Board Portal

To date, Kevin has shared about BCHFS at nine associational meetings around the state. In discussing / reviewing our programs and the number of services supplied with churches & associations, he shares with the BOT “We’re in a good place!” There’s stability, not without challenges, but we continue to do what we do, we continue on our mission.

A. 4th Quarter Financial Reports –Christopher Cox, Director of Accounting, gives an overview of current BCHFS financial reports. [See Board Portal/Finance for all financial reports.]

Highlights:

• Gift Income is $50,000 over this period last year but still $364,000 under budget.

• Service Fees are up $109,000 from last year but $56,000 under budget.

• Overall Revenue is $432,000 under budget but $91,000 higher than where we were at this time last year. Some of the differences were made up in our Expenses, where we are under budget in every category, with the largest savings found in Salaries & Benefits (unfilled positions, etc.).

• Expenses are $436,000 under budget for the year.

• Investment Distributions – We pulled $200,000 from our endowment fund with the Southern Baptist Foundation (SBF) and $29,000 from Baptist (BF) for a total of $229,622 taken out this year. Which is $97,000 less than what we had taken out this time last year. Comparatively, we have performed $5,500 better than budgeted YTD.

• Capital Expenditures – We purchased a zero-turn mower for the BCH at a cost of $12,800 in August.

• Investment Report – We received a $340,000 estate distribution in July 2023, which was added to our SBF endowment fund. At the end of June our market value was $5,740,000, and at the end of September 2023 our market value was $5,748,000. An increase of $8,000 in the third quarter. Comparatively, at the beginning of the year, we were at $4,600.000, and have added $923,275 in bequests YTD. We made $191,000 in income for the year.

B. Overview of Renovation Projects. Renovation projects were underwritten by Women of Compassion, the former Lighthouse Community Church of Huntley, Marion FBC, Campers on Mission, and the donation of a structural beam by the manufacturer. A PowerPoint presentation is given to show the before, during, and after renovations in the Garrison Cottage Which opened up the kitchen to the recreation & dining space. Residents were moved to Ballard Cottage for a few months during construction. BOT members were invited to tour the lower level of GraceHaven to see new alternate office space for our Executive Director and Executive Assistant.

C. Overview of IBSA Coordinating Council Activity. This is reported at length in the Executive Directors Report under IBSA UPDATE. The issue of specific interest is No. 3, “Include all entities in the Cooperative Program budget by adding BCHFS at 4% and BFI at 1% above the percentages currently retained for the work of IBSA; 61.5% would be retained within Illinois.” Kevin has discussed this point with Leon Talley and Doug Devore, and after those discussions, Kevin’s biggest concern is that if this proposal was accepted, what is the risk to BCHFS funding. The prevailing thought is we do better without being tied to the CP. The BOT discussion centered around the belief that BCHFS experiences a healthy level of energy and engagement from Illinois churches, and the desire / preference to maintain the status quo. It is important the BCHFS education process is ongoing, so that pastors, churches, and their congregants. After discussion with Doug Morrow, Kevin’s understanding is that this is now a dead issue.

D. Oil Well Lease Activity – Not good. Anticipating $22,000 for the year, if that. Out of nine months, we experienced two months with no payments at all. We may have overbudgeted income from the leases for next year.

E. Audit Update – Update on Audit billing after the travails experienced in the Spring. The auditor gave us an adjusted fee of $17,000 for FY2022, a savings of $1,500 under quoted rate $18,500, and for FY2023 (next year’s audit) a fee of $16,500. They are on notice. Chris Cox interjects that originally for FY2022 the rate was $18,500 PLUS some additional fees we had never encountered before. Through Chris’s negotiations, the auditor waived the “additional” fees, and reduced the rate from $18,500 to $17,000, contingent upon BCHFS signing with them for the FY2023 audit in 2024. That rate was negotiated to $16,500. We are hopeful that with personnel changes, and the resolution of issues, things will improve. They are on notice.

F. Development Report – Kevin introduces the video “Kay’s Testimony,” which was shared that last night’s fundraiser, recognized Paula and the development team, and Regina and the GraceHaven team for their contributions to this video. This moving video shares the story of a 62 year old adult, Kay (not to be confused with the “Kay” discussed earlier), who as a PK made the decision to have an abortion. She came to GraceHaven on a quest for information for a friend who also had an abortion as a teen and was still suffering from the effects of her decision. Kay found us via the internet, visited the offices, met Regina, and found herself sharing her personal story. Regina offered to help her and led her through the Bible study, “Surrendering the Secret.” Through GraceHaven, Kay is being trained to speak into the lives of women at her church who have had abortions. “A wonderful testimony of God’s transforming power.”

G. Three Concluding Thoughts – In concluding his ED report, Kevin shares three thoughts in looking forward to the new year. I want us to continue to build on the progress of 2023 by:

• Getting creative in staffing at BCH Residential Care in response to law labors laws, so in committee reports you will be introduced to a new position, House Parent Assistant.

• Exploring and developing new streams of revenue (e.g., grants from non-profit foundations, estate planning, new donor recruitment events (church & individual).

• Clarifying our mission and our corporate look. Our present logo was developed by Doug Morrow when he was here, and in conversations with Doug, he agreed/felt that it was probably time to refresh it. Our mission statement says, “We provide Christ-centered services that protect, heal, and restore.” As Kevin reviews the statement and discusses it with staff, it is clear that it is a statement more pertinent to an insider, speaking more to staff than to our clients and those outside. Discussions on this continue with staff and board input will also be solicited.

9. Administrative Committee Report & Recommendations – Tom Denton

The Administrative committee met in their regular meeting on October 23rd , and this was Tom’s last committee meeting as Chair and he thanked all the committee members for their support, hard work, and dedication.

10. Finance Committee Report & Recommendations – Marilyn Vaughan

Marilyn is standing in for Rick Layne today, and present the finance committee report and recommendations.

Recommendation #1 – The Finance Committee met on October 26th , and they have elected new officers for 2024: Rick Layne (Chair), Marilyn Vaughan (Vice Chair), and Doug Haile (Secretary). The committee approved the motion as proposed. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation #2 – The Approval of the 2024 Budget and Capital Improvements. Chris Cox highlighted specific areas of change:

a) Lowered development income. A review of the last three years shows that we have not met income goals, so the Development income has been lowered by $215,000. Consequently, our withdrawal from the endowment fund will increase (up $283,000 in the budget). Of course, we are looking for savings in expenses and other places, in the hope that we will not have to draw this much from the endowment account.

b) Lowered adoptive fees. Down $25,000.

c) Lowered counseling fees. Last year in Metro East, we budgeted for a counselor that we did not hire.

d) Lowered Royalty fees from $50,000 to $30,000.

e) Lowered salaries by $12,000. We have some open positions.

f) Three percent salary increases for July 2024. Fairly standard.

g) Large savings in the Insurance category. Last year at budget time we were between insurers and assumed increased insurance costs. Once found our current carrier rates were lower than anticipated (a savings). We have budgeted a ten percent increase over 2023, but it is still lower than what was budgeted for insurance last year.

h) Unique Development Expense: In 2024 we host the Connections Conference (a 3-day national conference of other Baptist Children’s Home development staff, 50 to 60 people), and we budgeted $17,000 for expenses. Conferees do pay fees to offset expenses, but we will have to bear some expenses. Per Chris we’ve budgeted $10,000 in income and $15,900 for expenses. The committee approved the motion as proposed. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

11. Program Committee Report & Recommendations – Ron Daniels

Ron Daniels reports the Program Committee met on October 24, 2023. It was a good meeting, and a number of the positive items discussed were reflected in the director’s report. The new officers for 2024 are: Ron Daniels (Chair), Steve Richard (Vice Chair), and Jason Plummer (Secretary). The committee approved the motion as proposed. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

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 XV 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

ARTICLE XVI

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.
