CONSTITUTION

Illinois Baptist State Association

Complete document approved November 12, 2015

Updates approved November 13, 2024

ARTICLE I

NAME AND ENTITIES

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

Through the election of independent boards of directors or trustees, the Association facilitates ministry to its 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 strengthening families across Illinois by sharing hope in Christ.

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

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, the Association shall not violate the autonomy of any church or other Baptist body.

DOCTRINE

Section 1. The Association affirms 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 the Association, 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 2023. We encourage the Association 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 the Association 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, the Association 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 2023, 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 IBSA the Corporation.

ARTICLE IV

o There was no discussion. Vote taken; resolution adopted.

• Resolution on the Office of Pastor/Elder/Overseer

o When asked if there was any discussion:

 Pastor Donald William Johnson of Destiney Baptist Church, Rock Island asked a question based on I Timothy 3:11, “Do we continue with deacon and not allow for the deaconess counterpart?” Tom Rains addressed the question. “This resolution deals with the office of Pastor. It does not deal with the office that you are speaking of.” That answer was satisfactory to the question.

o There was no further discussion. Vote taken; resolution adopted.

• Resolution on the Commitment to Strong and Successful Marriages

o When asked if there was any discussion:

 Bob Montgomery, messenger from Clarksville Baptist Church noted he did not see where the words male or female were used in the resolution and thought it was important they be used based on Genesis 1:27. It was pointed out that in the first WHEREAS the words

“one man and one woman” appeared He thanked the Vice Chair for pointing that out.

 Sylvia Raquel, messenger from First Baptist Church McHenry pointed out in the 3rd RESOLVED where Ephesians 5:22-26 appeared, she feels verse 21 should be included in the reference since it is the beginning of the sentence. Vice Chair Tom Rains stated the committee would take this as a friendly amendment having no problem including verse 21.

o President Carlton Binkley asked for a motion to add verse 21 to the reference of Ephesians 5:22-26 in the original Resolution. A motion was made and seconded. In discussion, Rubin Raquel from First Baptist McHenry read aloud Ephesians 5:21. There was no further discussion. Vote taken; motion to add this amendment to the Resolution was adopted.

o Discussion on the Resolution as amended was called.

 John Pennington, Chicagoland Community Church pointed out a need for defining man or woman as biological. He felt this would be helpful to include, especially where he ministers.

 Vice Chair Tom Rains asked Committee Member Rich Barnett, who originally authored this Resolution, to address the point. Rich explained the heart of this Resolution was for pastors and churches to do a better job to promote strong biblical marriages and not follow the culture where 50% of Christian marriages end in divorce. It was not to address biological gender.

o There was no further discussion. Vote taken; resolution was adopted as amended.

45. President Carlton Binkley reported, in consultation with the Executive Directors of Illinois Baptist State Association (the non-profit corporation), Baptist Foundation of Illinois (BFI), and Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (BCHFS) that:

46. President Binkley asked for nominations for the office of Vice President of IBSA for 2024‐2025. Pastor Bruce Kirk from Alpha Missionary Baptist Church nominated Jeff Logston to serve as IBSA Vice President. There were no other nominations. Motion was made and seconded to elect Senior Pastor Jeff Logston, Island City Baptist Church in Wilmington as IBSA Vice President by acclamation. Vote taken; motion adopted.

47. President Binkley asked for nominations for the office of Assistant Recording Secretary for IBSA for 2024‐2025. Kevin Alvarez, messenger from Celebration Community Church in Pana nominated Lead Pastor Nate Mason, First Baptist Church in Effingham to serve as Assistant Recording Secretary. There were no other nominations. Motion was made and seconded to elect Nate Mason as IBSA Assistant Recording Secretary by acclamation.

48. Pastor Phil Nelson, Lakeland Baptist Church in Carbondale, Chairperson of the IBSA Constitution Committee brought the Constitution Committee’s report and proposed recommendations found on pages 13 through 51 in the 2024 Book of Reports.

• The Committee proposed two amendments (found on page13) to the recommendation that will be voted on today.

The first proposed amendment would apply to the recommendation printed in the Book of Reports on pages 15 through 51 and would further clarify references to either “IBSA” only or “IBSA the Association.”

o “That all references to “IBSA” only or “IBSA the Association be either removed or changed to read “the Association” when referring to IBSA the Association and not IBSA the non-profit corporation.

There was a point of inquiry brought to the floor by messenger Alex Melton, Heartland Baptist Church, Alton. With no further discussion, vote was taken; motion adopted to amend the recommendation.

The second proposed amendment reads:

o That the IBSA Constitution, Article 1 the last sentence of the BCHFS description, be updated with BCHFS’s new mission statement, to read: “The Corporation recognizes the value of children and families and is dedicated to strengthening families across Illinois by sharing hope in Christ.”

There was no discussion. Vote taken; amendment to the recommendation adopted.

• President Binkley asked if there were any other amendments to the recommendations.

o Alex Melton brought an amendment; reference on page 17 Article 4, Section 3, in red to strike “and/or the Mission Illinois Offering”. The amendment proposed was seconded. In the pursuing discussion Nate Adams clarified if a church asks to designate money around a particular entity of the SBC...it is not considered Cooperative Program giving. In further discussion, messenger Paul Cooper, Marshall Baptist Church spoke against this new amendment and in favor to keep the wording in the original amendment on page 17.

There was no further discussion. Vote taken; the amendment to the recommendation failed

• President Binkley called for the vote to approve the Constitution Committee Report and Recommendations as amended, including the second reading changes to all three Association entity Constitutions and Bylaws, printed in red, as amended.

50. President Binkley called for miscellaneous business. There were two items brought to the floor.

• Phil Nelson, Lead Pastor and messenger from Lakeland Baptist Church, Carbondale moved to: Direct the Board of Directors to appoint a committee to consider selling the Baptist Student Center in Carbondale; putting that money into escrow for college ministry in the future. There was a second.

Messenger Kevin Caruthers, Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Mount Vernon called for a point of order. Since this is a direction to a Board of Directors, it has to be referred to that specific board and cannot be voted on in this meeting. The motion was referred to the Board of Directors of IBSA the non-profit corporation for further consideration.

• Pastor Thomas Worsham, messenger from Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church, Collinsville brought a motion to the floor for consideration: To form an exploratory committee to find ways to reach college students on the campuses of the schools in the Illinois Baptist Convention area. There was a second.

President Binkley informed the messengers because this is directing action for IBSA the non-profit corporation to take, the proper procedure is to refer this to the Board of Directors of IBSA the non-profit corporation, instead of voting on it at this meeting. There was a round of applause in support. There was no further miscellaneous business.

51. IBSA Board Chair Bruce Kirk came to the platform to present the chairman’s report, and the IBSA Board of Director’s recommendations. Recommendations:

• A 2025 Cooperative Program Goal of $6 million

• A Cooperative Program Ratio of 56.5 percent for IBSA and 43.5 percent for the national SBC, excluding SBC recognized and Board-approved shared expenses, not to exceed 10 percent of the Cooperative Program goal.

52. Executive Director Nate Adams presented an encouraging IBSA Partner report through a video presentation, written report, and a narrated slide presentation.

54. Pam White, Chair of BFI and member of The Ridge Church, Carbondale made a motion to accept the BFI printed budget and written report as documented on pages 74-76 of the Book of Reports. There was no discussion. Vote taken; motion adopted.

Doug Morrow, BFI Executive Director shared with the messengers three strategic shifts that they believe God is leading for the future:

Constitution Committee Report

The IBSA Constitution Committee met on March 21, 2024 to review the IBSA Constitution, the Bylaws for both the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (BCHFS) and the Baptist Foundation of Illinois (BFI), and the Association’s Officer and Committee Manual as directed in Article VIII, Section 8 of the IBSA Constitution. The committee reviewed the proposed changes to the IBSA Constitution, BCHFS Bylaws, and BFI Bylaws recommended for second reading at the 2024 IBSA Annual Meeting. Changes to all three entity documents are being proposed, primarily to more clearly differentiate between IBSA the 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and IBSA the association of churches. In addition, a change included in the second reading proposes that giving through the Mission Illinois Offering be added to Cooperative Program giving as an acceptable criterion for cooperation with IBSA

The committee also moves the following amendments to the above mentioned, proposed document changes first presented to messengers at the 2023 IBSA Annual Meeting, and being presented for second reading at the Association’s 2024 IBSA Annual Meeting:

1. That all references to the abbreviation “IBSA” only or “IBSA the Association” be either removed or changed to read “the Association” when referring to IBSA the Association and not IBSA the Corporation.

2. That in the IBSA Constitution, Article 1 the last sentence of the BCHFS description be updated with the BCHFS’s new mission statement, to read: The Corporation recognizes the value of children and families and is dedicated to strengthening families across Illinois by sharing hope in Christ.

During its August 29 meeting, the Committee discussed further recommendations for changes to the IBSA Constitution, BCHFS Bylaws and the BFI Bylaws to be presented for first reading at the 2024 IBSA Annual Meeting These changes include:

• Clarified descriptions of the relationship between IBSA the Association and autonomous, cooperating churches

• Qualifications for serving on the BCHFS and BFI Boards, and how to handle vacancies between annual meetings.

• Removing IBSA the Corporation from involvement in filling vacancies on the BCHFS and BFI Boards, and placing responsibility for filling vacancies between annual meetings with the respective (IBSA, BCHFS, or BFI) boards.

• Changing references in the BCHFS and BFI Bylaws to read “BCHFS” or “BFI” rather than “the Corporation,” creating greater clarity between IBSA the Corporation and the other two entities in these documents.

• If there is a vacancy between Annual Meetings on a Standing Committee for the Association they will operate with the number left on the committee instead of the IBSA Board filling vacancies.

The Committee also made changes to the IBSA Officer and Committee Manual to reflect the changes in the IBSA Constitution.

The pages following this report contain the committee’s recommended changes, in red print, to the IBSA Constitution, BFI Bylaws, and BCHFS Bylaws which received first reading at the 2023 IBSA Annual Meeting and are now ready for discussion and action at the 2024 IBSA Annual Meeting. Also included, in blue print, are recommended first reading changes to the IBSA Constitution, BCHFS Bylaws, and the BFI Bylaws, to be voted on by Association messengers at the 2025 IBSA Annual Meeting.

ARTICLE III

DOCTRINE

Section 1. As IBSA affirms, we adopt the Bible as the basis of all our Baptist faith and practice.

Section 2. Illinois Baptists have used various confessions of faith to better explain their understanding of the Bible. As IBSA, we acknowledges the value of all these various 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 IBSA encourages IBSA Baptist congregations and associations to use confessions of faith as resources to inform and edify Illinois Baptists concerning the basic tenets of our biblical faith. These documents will thus equip us as we churches and church members as they seek to fulfill our Baptists’ 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 both unify us as Baptists and set us apart distinguish them from other Christian groups denominations. Throughout our history, doctrinal statements have been adopted that express the common, but not necessarily universally held, elements of our Christian 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:

2. We do IBSA does 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., while remaining true to Holy Scripture.

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.

HISTORICAL COMMITTEE REPORT

The Historical Committee met on March 12, 2024. Assigned tasks and responsibilities were reviewed.

The committee was excited to see the newest acquisition to the archives. It is the first mechanical recording device used by any employee of IBSA. It had been purchased in 1943 by the editor of The Illinois Baptist and was used at the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Chicago in 1950. A pastor found it at an antique auction and bought it for $100.

Deb Bier and Susan Full gave the Archive Ad Hoc Work Group Report. They stated that associational annuals continue to be the best source of Illinois Baptist history. They asked that the annuals be sent each year to the library for storage. A policy is being developed that will outline how donated materials from disbanded churches will be handled when received.

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.

Resolution on Continued Affirmation and Celebration of the Baptist Faith & Message as its Centennial Anniversary Approaches

WHEREAS, the year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Southern Baptist Convention’s doctrinal statement, The Baptist Faith and Message, that helped summarize the biblical basis of our overall unity and cooperation together as Southern Baptists; and

WHEREAS, this unity and cooperation enables autonomous churches to partner together and advance the gospel locally, regionally, nationally, and globally in order to fulfill the Great Commission; and

WHEREAS, this voluntary partnership calls for an ongoing commitment to both biblical unity and missional cooperation; and

RESOLVED, that we will continue to strive for unity together around God’s Word as the basis of our cooperation which this association of churches believes to be faithfully summarized in The Baptist Faith and Message 1925, 1963, 1998, and 2000 (rev. 2023); and be it further

RESOLVED, that we will continue to strive for doctrinal fidelity and clarity around the essentials of our faith, and the good news of Jesus Christ, which will enable us to continue to cooperate

RESOLVED, that our hope and our pursuits in this life are ultimately guided by our hope in Christ Jesus and not by the results of an election, and regardless of the outcome of said election, we, as members of Christ’s church will seek to pursue peace in our nation and in our Association, thanking God especially for giving us a fellowship that celebrates unity and cooperation among autonomous church bodies, respecting one another; and, be it finally

RESOLVED, that we encourage all Southern Baptist churches in Illinois and nationwide to continue elevating Jesus Christ above all political parties or partisan stances in the church, community, and home, and to deepen our commitment to cooperate with unity in the mission of advancing God’s kingdom during this election season and beyond.

Resolution on the Office of Pastor/Elder/Overseer

WHEREAS, the Baptist Faith and Message, (2000, rev. 2023) affirms that a New Testament church is “an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers,” (Article VI.) and the Holy Bible, the scriptures, are “the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.” and

WHEREAS, Galatians 3:26-29 states that “there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female,” recognizing that the church welcomes people who come from all ethnic backgrounds, different sociopolitical status, and both genders, and calls them all to come and find their truer identity in Christ; and

WHEREAS, the scriptures, in Titus 1:5-9 and 1 Timothy 3:2-7, when giving the qualifications for pastors/elders/overseers use masculine language; and

WHEREAS, 1 Timothy 2:12-14 indicates that the primary authorities in the church under the headship of Christ are to be male, recognizing this as rooted in the order of creation and the fall; and

WHEREAS, the Illinois Baptist State Association recognizes autonomous churches who hold to various Baptist confessions of faith, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the messengers to the 2024 Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting, November 12-13, at Ashburn Baptist Church in Orland Park, Illinois, affirm our agreement with the Baptist Faith and Message (2000, rev. 2023) that “two scriptural offices are that of pastor/elder/overseer and deacon,” and that “while both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor/elder/overseer is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.” And be it further

RESOLVED, that Illinois Baptists will endeavor to prayerfully encourage the service of spiritually qualified and gifted men and women in our autonomous churches within the guidance of the scriptures’ teaching on the offices of the church.

Resolution on the Commitment to Strong and Successful Marriages

WHEREAS, the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 (rev. 2023) states that “God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society,” and that “Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime;” and

WHEREAS, Illinois Baptists joyfully and steadfastly rely on the Holy Bible as true and totally trustworthy, without any mixture of error; and

WHEREAS, according to the American Psychological Association, approximately 40-50% of first marriages and 60-67% of second marriages end in divorce, due to some valid, yet many other invalid and unbiblical reasons, therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the messengers to the 2024 Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting, November 12-13 at Ashburn Baptist Church in Orland Park, Illinois, grieve deeply the spiritual and mental anguish that families have suffered due to the current state of the institution of marriage in our country; and be it further

RESOLVED, that we encourage pastors, officiants, and other leaders of the church to take seriously their commitment to strong biblical marriages by counseling with couples before marriage in order to ensure that there is an understanding that marriage is a commitment between one man and one woman, as well as a covenant with God, to remain bound together as one flesh (Mrk. 10:8) until only death shall separate (Mrk. 10:9), and they should also determine, through such counseling, whether or not the couple should be counseled to continue forward in marriage, especially if there is evidence that there may be an issue or issues that will

seriously hinder the marriage, being the voice of reason when needed, and to consider excluding themselves from the wedding when necessary; and be it further

RESOLVED, that we, as members of the body of Christ will also seek to encourage and promote strong marriages within our churches, even among those in leadership, by being vigilant to encourage couples, providing opportunities for education and growth, and by bearing one another’s burdens (Gal. 6:2), and we will also take seriously our commitments within our own marriages, and seek to love and respect (Eph. 5:22-26) our spouses according to God’s description of love (1 Cor. 13:4-8); and be it finally

RESOLVED, that we will endeavor to help struggling families find peace in Christ that is beyond understanding (Phil. 4:7), love amongst the saints that is without hypocrisy (Rom. 12:9) and hope in the future where God makes all things new (Rev. 21:5).

Chairman of the Board of Directors’ Report

Bruce Kirk

The IBSA Board of Directors continues to bring value to the 900 Baptist churches in the state of Illinois. As our world recovers from the repercussions of Covid-19, many different areas of church ministry continue to be affected, including baptisms. However the Board has kept its focus on kingdom initiatives. Based on the proactive approach of our executive Director Nate Adams and his staff there is evidence of recovery across our state. The IBSA continues to promote health, growth, and mission among churches, and encouraging results are surfacing. Pastors who embrace assistance from this strategic plan are beginning to see and reap its benefits.

Based on the close working relationship between the board and our executive director and staff, new strategies were adopted. Recognizing that if the pastor of a church is fatigued, burned out, or unhealthy, the entire church may suffer, the board recommended greater attention be paid to the health of the pastors in Illinois. Without hesitation, Nate and his staff crafted a “FOR the Pastor” plan to address the health of the pastors across the state. This spirit of cooperation between the board and our executive director and his staff bring great value to the churches of our state.

A careful consideration has been made to prioritize kingdom resources before brick and mortar. However future generations of Illinois Baptist will inherit our Illinois Baptist State Association building in good condition. Many upgrades have been made on the first floor of our facility The resources were well spent. The parking lot has been repaved, and there will be some additional upgrades on the building.

Serving as IBSA board chair I am encouraged by the commitment of the board members and staff. I am blessed to have Josh Bledsoe working beside me as vice chair and Paul Cooper as Board secretary. I believe these two men love God, and God’s people. These two men’s service to Illinois Baptists is a testimony of their commitment to growing the kingdom. I would be remiss not to mention Jeff Logsdon our prior Board chairman. It was a blessing to serve with Jeff as he meticulously served Illinois Baptist. Jeff had great knowledge of the inner workings of the Illinois Baptist Association. It was a blessing to witness the seamless collaboration Jeff exhibited between himself, the board, our executive Director and the staff.

I would also like to thank Nate Adams and Barb Troeger for their help and their commitment to keep me updated. The day-to-day operations of this organism led by Nate Adams our Executive Director and his staff are commendable. The brotherhood and sisterhood of Nate’s staff is visible to all. There is so much more that I could say, but I will end this report by saying that the Illinois Baptist State Association by the power of the Holy Spirit in my opinion is in good hands.

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 2024 Annual Church Profile will not be available until January 2025, below are a few highlights of IBSA’s ministry outcomes thus far in 2024:

•Through September, 7 new churches have been planted in Illinois, with the possibility of 5 more by the end of the year. One of these plants was IBSA’s first in Brown County, reducing the number of Illinois counties without an IBSA church from 10 to 9. 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,11 new churches are being presented for affiliation with IBSA and celebrated at this year’s IBSA Annual Meeting.

•100 churches have already been trained in developing intentional evangelism strategies this year, and 165 students thus far have been trained to share their faith, with fall Youth Encounter events soon to be added to that total. We were encouraged to see baptisms by IBSA churches bounce back by 41% in 2022, and another 30% in 2023, to 3,361, just below 2019’s pre-Covid level of 3,553. And we continue to hear anecdotal evidence of continued increases in baptisms in several churches this year

•Through August, 1,414 volunteers from 254 churches participated in IBSA-coordinated mission projects. In addition, 47 churches have been trained in developing intentional missions strategies.

•Our 2024 goal of continuing to engage at least 150 IBSA churches in intentional, Next Step consulting processes is well underway, with 136 churches engaged through August.

•Through August, 812 pastors and leaders have participated in leadership development processes. 2,108 church leaders have participated in a variety of ministry events, and 1,101 workers have been trained in specific church ministry skills.

•In January (23-25), IBSA hosted 988 leaders from 12 Midwest states for the Midwest Leadership Summit at the Crowne Plaza and surrounding hotels in Springfield, including 331 leaders from IBSA churches.

•As of the end of August, IBSA’s Health Team and its trained pathfinders and coaches are engaged in intentional revitalization processes with 89 churches. 41 new pastors have entered coaching relationships, bringing the current number of pastors in coaching relationships to 83. An additional 34 churches are using simpler revitalization processes. 4 churches have completed Church Renewal Journey weekends, and 12 additional churches weekends scheduled.

•Through August, IBSA staff have directly trained or assisted 11 IBSA churches in their pastor search processes.

•IBSA staff continues to make concerted efforts to connect with and engage pastors and churches through phone, e-mail, webinars, and videoconferencing. Through August, our staff had direct contact with 72% 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 Camps continues to be strong. Through August, 103 groups from 197 unique churches have used one of IBSA’s two camps. Including outside groups, almost 4,000 campers have utilized the camps. Streator Baptist Camp recorded another new high in camper participation this year, hosting 1,795 campers through August, compared to 1,756 in 2023 and 1,182 in 2022.

•2024 Cooperative Program giving from churches through September is roughly even with the same period in 2023, but still 9% lower than 2019, the most recent (pre-Covid) year when the annual CP goal was met. Some churches continue to report concerns about various 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.

•IBSA’s 2024 “For the Pastor” emphasis has included 5 IBSA-led retreat offerings for both pastors and wives, multiple grants for Associations to host local pastor or pastor and wife retreats, free personal retreat lodging at both IBSA camps, and free counseling sessions in partnership with Pathways Counseling from the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services.

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.

As the church’s repay the loan, investors are given a great rate of return. A KINGDOM win-win!

Chuch Legacy

Church Legacy is BFI’s program to churches facing closure. The resources of the closing church are used to establish a “Legacy” endowment fund in the church’s name. The fund will provide ongoing ﬁnancial support to the Christian causes selected by Legacy church in perpetuity. BFI maintains the property, and if possible, works with state and association missions directors to establish a new church at the location. BFI has helped over 40 churches establish Legacy Funds that have generated over $4 million in support to KINGDOM causes.

Of course all endeavors require budgets and growth, and so a quick look at 2023 operations and the trend line for growth is helpful here.

Spring 2024 BFI Board of Trustees

10:00 A.M. - April 19, 2024 - IBSA Building

The meeting was called to order by Board Chair Pam White. Kyle Edmiston was appointed as Secretary Pro Tem.

Scott Andrews gave a devotion from Psalm 121, and led in prayer.

Those present at roll call included: Brent Cloyd, Scott Andrews, Sheila Brown-Walker, Christine Miller, Dan Ahlenius, Paul Stanford, Pam White, DeWanna Oliver, Greg Kyrouac, Greg Gomez (via video), Anthony Richardson, Brenda Spada, Dennis Fulkerson, Thomas VanHorn, Bruce Guebert, Kyle Edmistion, Julian Williams, and Steve Wright. Absent were Bob Carruthers, Mihaela Sexton, and Richard Harris. Staff members Doug, Ken, Sheila, and Melissa were present, along with guest Kim Morrow. Ex-Officio member Nate Adams attended online.

The Minutes (motion by Pam, second by Tom) and Agenda (motion by Bruce, second by Pam) were approved with no changes.

Executive Director’s Report

● The 2022 and 2023 audits still have pieces that need reconciliation. Two guests were streamed into the meeting for this report. Lauren, the auditor from Sikich, gave an update. Robert Minsky from Trust Processor reported the broker had incorrect prices on bonds, resulting in loan payments posting to an incorrect ledger. The cause was reported as differences between systems information. Tom requested an explanation of the problem, but Robert’s response did not provide full understanding. Brent requested clarification on the source of the issue; and questioned the outlook and time frame for completion of the remaining 10 months for 2022. Doug stated that they need to finish in 30 days. Sheila is working with our vendor on that. Pam questioned whether Trust Processor will bill us for extra hours incurred due to their mistakes. Robert does not believe we should be, but has not received confirmation of this from his superiors.

● Doug presented a draft of his 2023 Annual Report in a clear format that provides strong evidence of the ways we are fulfilling our mission. It is hoped that this type of report will communicate a clearer understanding of what BFI does in full. Endowment is being designed to withstand a down market, and to be more durable in the long run. Scott questioned how we determine the organizations that received endowment funding. Doug explained that the donors choose the charities that their endowments benefit. There were no other questions on the annual report.

Administrative Committee Report

Paul Stanford reported that our 2023 operations closed approximately $100K over expenses. He reported that we are searching for a full-time accountant to be compensated by an approximately $80K package. He reported that we had 19 responses to the Board Self-Evaluation.

Paul brought the following recommendation from the Administrative Committee:

“The Board authorizes BFI Management to devise and implement an endowment campaign supporting the existing BFI Vision Fund, utilizing both contemporary and deferred gifts.”

The extensive rationale for this motion was printed on the agenda. At present, only two of our five areas of service fund the entire organization, and those two do not have the strongest ties to our mission. Discussion followed, and Tom inquired about what these additional funds would enable us to do, beyond what we are not now doing.

Doug responded that we would not add new types of ministries to our current five divisions, but that the additional funds would allow us to go deeper in our established ministries. Pam offered that the Advisory Committee hoped the additional capital would help fund additional staff to meet the growing needs of our organization.

The endowment campaign recommendation passed with no opposition.

Paul presented a second recommendation from the Administrative Committee as follows:

“The Administrative Committee moves that we amend the Board Policy and Procedure Manual to delete the 4th sentence in section IV: ‘The Board Chair and Vice Chair shall not serve on the same standing committee.’”

The motion passed unanimously.

Investment Committee Report

Dennis Fulkerson reported that we ended 2023 with $59.4M under management, and indicated the asset mix is represented by the Main Asset Review Report linked to the Agenda. He stated we have continued to see both existing and new clients migrate toward less volatile fixed income bonds and term investments. He also referenced the link to our 2023 performance from components managed by the Bank of Springfield. Thus far in 2024, the Investment Committee has approved six loans for a total of $2.7.

Dennis presented the following recommendation, which was approved with no opposition.

“The Investment Committee moves that we amend our endowment distribution policy to reflect a net interest distribution not to exceed 5% annually.”

Scholarship Committee Report

Dewanna Oliver reported a record-breaking application season (167). She stated that we will move to a less expensive software package at a savings of $2500. She reported that the committee reaffirmed the final of three $50K installments from the Glenfield Initiative to Chicagoland Baptists.

Dewanna presented the following recommendation:

“The Scholarship Committee recommends that we fund and award 42 scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year as presented in the link attached to the agenda.”

The recommendation passed unanimously.

Chair’s Report

Pam White presented a summary of the Board Self-Evaluation results.

She offered a challenge to the Board to respond to the question: “What Next?” She emphasized that board service continues beyond the time and space in the conference room, and offered the following ways to “live it out:” Pray, Tell, Give, and Learn. Business cards with BFI’s mission were distributed to help share the good news of what we offer to clients and to the Lord.

Other Business

● Doug provided a Kingdom Giving article about the story of Delman and Clifford Vail.

● Greg Kyrouac requested that our annual report be printed in the Illinois Baptist.

● Scott motioned to adjourn, and Paul seconded. Pam closed the meeting in prayer.

Call to Order

The meeting was called to order by Pam White, Board Chair, at 09:22 am.

Opening Devotion

Dan Ahlenius read from Matthew chapter 25 the parable of the talents. He emphasized that the Lord is giving us gifts and responsibilities “depending on each one’s ability” (v.15) but with the same goal in mind: that we advance His kingdom, and not our own agenda. As a team, we each bring individual strengths which are meant to increase our overall impact for the Lord.

Roll Call

At roll call the following Trustees were present: Brent Cloyd, Sheila Brown-Walker, Christine Miller, Dan Ahlenius, Paul Stanford, Pam White, DeWanna Oliver, Greg Gomez, Mihaela Sexton, Brenda Spada, Dennis Fulkerson, Thomas Van Horn, Bruce Guebert, Richard Harris, and Steve Wright.

Also attending: Doug Morrow, Ken Steward, Katie Ford and Robert Weaver

Not present: Scott Andrews, Greg Kyrouac, Anthony Richardson, Kyle Edmiston and Julian Williams

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

Bruce Guebert motioned and Dan Ahlenius seconded to adopt the Spring meeting minutes as read from the file posted in Teams under the General channel ( Fall 2024 folder), and the Agenda for the Fall meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

Executive Director’s Report

Doug Morrow, BFI Executive Director, reported on:

Projected Budget for 2025

 Data of the proposed budget could be reviewed by the trustees under the Administrative Committee files in Teams

 In the operational budget:

o The salaries figure is not increased much because of the internal staff reorganization with Katie taking the role of front office and customer relationship and Robert W working on the Trust Processor entries and updates, including the new re-conversion. No new accountant is being sought at this time, Simplify should be retained in a reduced consultant role in 2025

o The Audit cost line increased

o Accounting software line decreased because of the ending of the Trinergy contract. More work is ongoing for the re-conversion of TP, but it is done at no cost to BFI

o BFI revenue is also projected to increase Audit 2023 Update

 New auditors: Kerber, Eck & Braeckel (KEB) expected to finalize 2023 Audit by Annual Convention – this is a work in progress, still presents problems of reconciliation with the General Ledger, requiring extra work from Katie and Robert to pull data from TP

 KEB requested help from Simplify and Sikich to share the files they used in the 2022 and previous audits

 An online special BOT meeting will be announced for approval of the 2023 Audit when available

 Christine asked about the 2024 Audit. ED responded that the expectation is for KEB to start the work on the 2024 Audit as early as January 2025.

 Due to the KEB auditors becoming more familiar with the BFI work and the TP reconversion eliminating the need for manual re-conciliation between general ledger in sub-ledger, the 2025 audit is expected to be completed in the first months of 2026.

Budget 2Q24

 Profit and Loss report for the first two quarters of 2024 was presented ( file under Administrative Committee in Teams)

 A positive bottom line of $45,381.70 was presented with the mention that it does not include term investments due to the current limitations of TP, so the income is expected to be higher

 Tom noted that the heading of the file states P&L for Jan - June 2023. Robert answered that the data is correct for 2024, the wrong heading comes from Quick Books.

Church Legacy program

Doug invited Ken Steward to present a report on the recent church legacy activity

 After a Baptist church makes a resolution to dissolve, the remaining funds and property of the church may be managed by BFI

 BFI seeks to find local community churches/small groups, or new-plant churches which can space-share and cover maintenance costs ( i.e. recent examples of Glasgow Baptist Church, Strasburg BC and Jerome Lane BC, in Cahokia Heights), or purchase the building and continue the Christian legacy on the premise ( i.e. Bluford, IL). This process can take several months to several years.

 When a church’s assets are sold, the money constitutes the legacy fund of the church, which BFI may help manage and distribute in accordance to the remaining members wishes

 Some church properties require extensive renovation work before they can be re-used or sold (i.e. Trinity Baptist in Galva); Other churches require a lot of energy from BFI in the process of dissolution/re-constitution

 Latest churches which entered in the church legacy program are New Horizons in Pawnee and New Athens in Metro East

Administrative Committee Report and Recommendations

The Administrative Committee met on Sept 20, 2024 and discussed the following:

 The need to transition the board and staff communication from Google Drive to Microsoft Teams; Teams will facilitate communications, and file sharing with enhanced security.

 The proposed 2025 budget and the P&L 2Q24 as presented by the ED

 The review of the BFI Bylaws as proposed to be amended by the IBSA Constitution Committee with the purpose of legally separating the three entities (IBSA Corporation, BFI and BCHFS) as a layer of protection against cross lawsuits

 The pursuit of independent 501 (c)(3) declaration serving the same purpose of legally differentiating the three entities

Motion 1. Paul Stanford presented the Administrative Committee recommendation to approve the 2025 BFI Budget as presented. Motion carried.

Motion 2. Paul Stanford presented the Administrative Committee recommendation that BFI pursue the independent 501 (c)(3) declaration. Motion passed unanimously

 The Administrative committee elected the following officers for 2025: Paul Stanford, Chair; Christine Miller, Vice-Chair; and Sheila Brown-Walker, Secretary

Investment Committee Report and Recommendation:

Dennis Fulkerson reported the Investment Committee met on September 20, 2024 and reviewed the investment performance as well as the performance of the loan portfolio.

 The committee meets often in order to review and approve loan applications. $4.278 M in loans have been approved YTD with an expected $2.5M more loans immediately pending.

 Faith Driven Investing options ( OMEGA fund and SOVF ETF) now exist as a viable and welcomed investment option for Christians, since they are comprised of companies that have Christian CPAs and follow Christian values and practices in management.

o Documents about FDI can be found in the file section under the Investment Committee in Teams

o FDI research and historic analysis on these companies shows that following God’s principles in business and management both honors the Lord and outperforms the market, making Faith Driven Investing a clear win-win for Christian investors such as BFI

 The Investment Committee has elected the following officers for 2025: Dennis Fulkerson, Chair; Tom Van Horn, Vice Chair, and Bruce Guebert, Secretary

Scholarship Committee Report and Recommendation:

Scholarship Committee met on September 20, 2024 and discussed the following:

 The intent to foster faith development in the scholarship recipients in an academic environment which is increasingly antagonistic to Christian values

o The increase in dollar amount awarded per scholarship in order to raise their prestige as follows:

 Associate: $2,000;

 Bachelor: $5,000 and

 Seminary: $7,500.

o The total amount for the scholarship fund will remain in the range of $80,000$100,000 / year.

o The change of topic for one of the application essays to request that students present their plan to maintain and grow in their Christian faith in the midst of a negative culture.

o Fostering an intentional connection between the recipients and churches in the college town

 The mixed experiences of the trustees making in person scholarship presentations in the churches of the recipients

 The Scholarship Committee awards an annual grant to a church initiative for community outreach. This year’s grant was for $2,500

Motion: The Scholarship committee advanced the recommendation that BFI awards the 2024 Christian Service Grant of $2,500 to Starting Point Community Church in NW Chicago to be used in their ministry with the migrant community. The motion carried.

 The Scholarship Committee has elected: DeWanna Oliver, Chair, Julian Williams, ViceChair and Greg Gomez, as Secretary for service during 2025

Report on Executive Director Performance Evaluation

Chair, Pam White read through the scores and comments made by the trustees on the ED appraisal form. She mentioned that our mindset as trustees is to note the strengths and come alongside the ED to support and encourage.

 Discussion about a succession plan at ED’s retirement: the need for several regional directors with the correct skill set, equipped to work along-side Doug in the Life Stewardship division, where the time commitment is significant

 The Vision Fund discussed at the 2024 Spring meeting will need to become a focus in order to allow the hiring of more staff/assistant director(s)

Election of 2024 General Board Officers and Advisory Committee Recommendations

Brent Cloyd made the motion to elect Pam White as Chair of the Board, Mihaela Sexton seconded, motion carried unanimously

Pam White made the motion to elect Brent Cloyd as Vice-Chair, Paul Stanford seconded, motion carried.

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.

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.

Section G

Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services Executive

Director’s Report

Kevin Carrothers Faithful service, focused mission

Celebrating the legacy of BCHFS happened when the Board of Trustees granted emeritus status for Leon Talley and Doug Devore. This honor recognizes the outstanding service they made to advance the mission of the Baptist Children’s Home. Even in retirement they continue to faithfully support BCHFS.

A new mission statement emerged after a year long study. BCHFS strengthens families across Illinois by sharing hope in Christ. From its beginning, BCHFS was tasked with a mission to provide support to children and families in need. BCHFS continues playing a vital role in nurturing and strengthening families with compassion, service, and faith.

Programs meet the various needs of families facing challenges. Angels’ Cove provides pregnant women resource for a safe and healthy pregnancy, including residential housing, pregnancy and parenting education. The Baptist Children’s Home provides residential care to youth experiencing difficulty in their current home environment. Faith Adoption Ministry provides adoption as a life option for preborn children, serving women who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and the Christian families hoping to adopt. GraceHaven, a pregnancy resource clinic, provides information and support services such as ultrasounds encouraging families to choose life for their unborn children. Pathways provides outpatient counseling for individuals, couples, and families with diverse needs.

Challenges to the mission are ever present. The evolving complexities of new laws and regulations require vigilance. The financial landscape sees expenses rising more quickly than income. However, the Lord is faithful to provide. The hope found in Jesus is foundational to the mission of BCHFS, recognizing lasting change begins with spiritual transformation. The integration of faith and human needs ministry allows BCHFS to provide families with the opportunity for purpose and meaning that transcends their current circumstances. This holistic approach to the mission of God empowers families to connect with God and each other

The words of Paul are fitting. “I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now” Philippians 1:3. We are grateful for your partnership in the gospel. We are thankful for your faithfulness from our beginning. We are grateful for the generous churches and individuals who support the children and families through the ministry of BCHFS.

Meeting Minutes

1. Call to Order. Eric Bramlet called to order the regular meeting of the BCHFS Board of Trustees (BOT) at 9:06 a.m. on January 27, 2024, at the GraceHaven Pregnancy Resource Clinic, 4227 Lincolnshire Drive, Mt. Vernon, IL 62864.

2. Prayer & Scripture. Ron Daniels shares James 2:14: “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?” The faith we have should cause us to do works. While reflecting about serving on boards in general, and the new members joining the board, Ron says that he has found that serving on the BCHFS board brings a lot of pleasure. Especially, when considering the work that is being done at BCHFS because of the work of this board. As we have faith in God, we want to serve Him, and hope that our work is pleasing to Him. After reading Philippians 4:6, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;” Ron encourages us all: “As we come to do the tasks of the board, we also come asking God to bless the ministries and the people involved in those ministries;” and then closes this time with prayer.

5. Amendment & Adoption of Board Meeting Agenda of the October 28, 2023. There are two amendments to the agenda.

Steve Nyberg will join us later; he was speaking to the Men’s group at his church earlier this morning. Chris Slusser prays for Ron and Juanita Philpot.

7. Seating of New Trustees. Prior to seating our new board members, Eric Bramlet asks the current and new board members to introduce themselves. [Steve Nyberg gives his introduction upon his arrival later in the meeting.] After introductions, the Chair entertains a motion to seat the new trustees with the committee assignments designated below:

Finance & Development Committee: Steve Nyberg – Elizabethtown, Christina Goble – Kansas, and Larry Pearson – Mt. Vernon

Program Committee: Sarah Ruhe – Goreville and Frank Bateman – Marion

The motion to approve the minutes was made by Brian Fuller and seconded by Sarah Bordewick. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call.

8.Remembering Why . . . GraceHaven—Pregnancy Resource Clinic / Regina Thompson, Program Manager. Regina shares a testimony from last fall. At young woman was scheduled to come in to GraceHaven for an ultrasound, and she never showed up. Two weeks went by, and she called to reschedule. After a positive pregnancy test (this is a requirement for all ultrasounds), Regina meets with the young lady in the advocacy room. The client explained that she didn’t show up previously because she had scheduled an abortion and had paid someone $100 to transport her to Planned Parenthood. While on the way to the abortion, something began to bother her, telling her that abortion wasn’t right. Despite feeling heavy in her heart, she continued on her way to the abortion clinic. Once at the clinic and in the ultrasound room, she began to ask the tech questions: a) how far along am I? b) how will this affect my baby? & c) will my baby feel pain? The ultrasound tech asked if she wanted to see the ultrasound and she said yes. She was 7 weeks pregnant at that time, and there was a heartbeat. She saw the baby and she changed her mind!

As we sit in the advocacy room, and she shares this testimony, Regina tells her: “You have experienced a miracle! Someone was praying for you. You experienced the Voice of Truth on the way to the abortion clinic AND you obeyed!” The other miracle was that the ultrasound tech offered to let her see the baby, they are trained not to do that. Regina asked the young woman, who is Jesus to you? She replied, “My Father,” and consented to let Regina prays for her. They then go into the Ultrasound room and she has the ultrasound; the baby is now 9 weeks old and moving with arm buds and, a heartbeat. Since then, she came back to GraceHaven a month later (13 weeks), and they did another ultrasound. She returns again in December and receives a donated Christmas gift. Regina followed up just a few weeks ago . . . and she’s still pregnant! She has kept Regina up to date on her condition (she is experiencing physical pain during pregnancy). Regina challenges the board to pray for her and all those who are “abortion-vulnerable” and “abortion-determined.” Abortion-determined women usually have a hard heart, so without prayer they remain unphased by impact explanations or video. They need our prayers, so that the Holy Spirit can soften their hearts, and open their ears to the Voice of Truth.

Our Chair, Eric Bramlet, asks Brian Fuller to lead us in prayer for Regina, her staff, the women they serve, the “abortion-determined” women and especially this young woman who heard the Voice of Truth that she may someday share her testimony with others for God’s glory.

9. Executive Director’s (ED) Report – Kevin Carrothers. Kevin provides his quarterly ED report. A written copy of the report can be found on the Board Portal.

Kevin highlights two legal matters. First, a legal victory related to SB 1909 was signed by our governor in 2023. This law basically labels pregnancy resource clinics like ours as “a deceptive practice” & would hold pregnancy resource clinics “civilly liable for deceptive acts or practice.” A federal judge prevented Illinois from implementing SB 1909, ordering permanent injunction, and the Attorney General agreed not to pursue the matter. However, the law is still ‘on the books.’ For more details, see the ED’s report, and the GraceHaven report on the Board Portal

Second, Kevin advises that there are two cases going through the courts that suggests that for entities with “tax-exempt status” it is the same as “receiving federal assistance!” If that classification was accepted, that would mean that all churches would be subject to all regulations of all federal departments.

In closing his portion of the report, Kevin introduces the subject of our mission statement. Our BCHFS mission statement says, “Providing Christ-centered services that protect, heal, and restore.” The question Kevin has posed to staff and the board, is this: Is our mission really about providing services, though Christcentered? It is what we do but is it what we’re about? As we consider this, questions that ask who we are, what we do, and who we impact, can lead to strategic vision. Kevin and his leadership team are looking at

this, and before April, he expects to reach out to some members of the board to work with him and the team to bring back a recommendation in April about redefining and clarifying our mission. Please pray for this effort

A. 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 of almost $2.2 million. That $543,000 under budget and $73,000 under where we were at in 2022.

• Service Fees were $524,000 for the year, $71,000 under budget, but $23,000 higher than last year. (Counselling fees were higher in the central and southeast offices than budgeted.)

• Rent/Royalties were $91,000 for the year, which was $14,000 less than budgeted.

• Total Revenue for 2023 was approximately $2.8 million, which was $627,000 less budgeted Some of the differences were made up in our Expenses, where we realized a number of savings primarily in Salaries and Benefits

• Total Expenses were $580,000 below budget for the year, and $188,000 more than we had at this time last year.

• Investment Distributions – We pulled $400,000 from our endowment fund with the Southern Baptist Foundation (SBF) and $52,244,000 from Baptist (BF) for a total of $452,244 taken out this year. Which gave us a deficit of $49,422 for the year.

• Capital Improvement – In the 4th qtr. we purchased a copier for the BCH Hathaway Office at a cost of $5,32100 in October.

• Investment Report – The stock market was up in the 4th qtr., so we had $384,000 in unrealized gain in our endowment fund. We had 3 estate gift/insurance beneficiary checks come in during the 4 qtr.: 1) $214,000, 2) $290,000, and $1.47 million, which totals $1.9 million that was added to our SBF endowment fund. For the year we received just under $3 million in estate gifts, which was one of the highest years of estate giving we’ve ever had.

B. Development & Marketing Report – Paula Joy, Dir. of Development & Marketing. [Paula’s report can be found on the Board Portal under the Finance Committee tab.] To dovetail on to Chris Cox report on estate donations, Paula reminded us that sharing the story of the BCHFS is important. While Chris noted that neither donor had ever given before, this reminds us of how impactful observation of a mom’s or local churches support and love for the BCHFS can be.

Paula reviews the her report and the items distributed to trustees at the board meeting and reviews the upcoming fundraising events and projects. She asks that board members consider sharing about the Mother’s Day Offering Appeal at the home church. Ask you pastor if you can share an announcement one Sunday (he might only allot 2 minutes), she or Kevin would be happy to supply your with talking points and materials.

10. Service Delivery Report – Kevin Carrothers fills in for Bill Foote, whose daughter is being married today. [The service delivery report can be found on the Board Portal under the Program committee tab.] One area where numbers are down is in the number of adoptive couples seeking our services. Birth mother numbers are up. Pathways service numbers are up, and we are seeing growth and increased numbers in the clients we are serving at GraceHaven.

11. Standing Committee meetings & lunch. The BOT meeting pauses to break into committee meetings (administrative, finance, and program), and after that lunch will be served at 11:30am. The Advisory Committee, which is comprised of board officers and committee chairpersons, will have a working lunch in the front conference room at that time.

2. Prayer & Scripture. Doug Haile shares from Colossians 3:12-17 and reminds us to “Put on God’s Traits.”

“12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

Doug says, “Sometimes we need to be reminded that, as individuals and as an organization, we must strive to “Put on God’s Traits.” We need to show love as an organization. We need to listen to God has he instructs us to act, or not to act. We need to act with the peace of God in our hearts. And finally, we need to do everything we do in the name of the Lord.” Doug ends our time with a prayer.

The motion to seat the new board member was made by Marilyn Vaughan and seconded by Doug Haile. The motion was unanimously approved by roll call.

8. Executive Director’s (ED) Report – Kevin Carrothers. Kevin provides his quarterly ED report. A written copy of the report can be found on the Board Portal.

Kevin advises the board of a filled vacancy; Ashley Gilmore has been hired as a counselor for the BCH in Carmi and begins May 1st. Ashley was formerly a houseparent, and now returns with the requisite degrees and certification in counseling. The Lord has answered that prayer.

Our ED gives the board an overview of his priorities. The first being the mission focus of the agency. It is important. “The mission matters most!” This is a phrase learned from outgoing Gateway Seminary President, Jeff Iorg, who is also incoming Executive Committee President for the SBC. Our mission statement should answer four questions:

• Who are we?

• Who do we serve?

• What do we do?

• Where do we serve?

After describing the process, he and the staff used to review and analyze our current mission statement, Kevin shares the result of their analysis. The proposed new mission statement is: “BCHFS strengthens families across Illinois by sharing hope in Jesus Christ.” It answers the four questions listed above. The mission statement is accompanied by four priorities. They are 1) Defending the life of the unborn, 2) protecting the vulnerable, 3) healing the wounded, and 4) restoring the broken. Board members who took part in the review shared their individual takes on the process and the result. The consensus was this was a strong and considered statement that captures the ethos of what goes on at BCHFS. For more details, see the ED’s report on the Board Portal. The recommendation is for the board to adopt the proposed mission statement.

The board unanimously approved by roll call.

Sarah Bordewick makes the motion that accompanying priorities to the new mission statement: “1) Defending the life of the unborn, 2) protecting the vulnerable, 3) healing the wounded, and 4) restoring the broken,” also be approved and adopted. The motion is seconded by Larry Pearson, and the motion was unanimously approved by roll call

Our ED emphasizes the huge importance our decision today, and the positive impact it will have on the lives of families we serve throughout Illinois, now and in the future. Work will begin on designing a new logo, and a rollout of the new mission statement and logo will be planned for our 2024 annual IBSA meeting in November. Eric Bramlet, our Chair, asks Kevin to extend to the staff our appreciation for their hard work and contribution to this effort.

Legal vigilance is also a priority of Kevin’s, more so than he anticipated when he began in the position.

9. Standing Committee meetings & lunch. At 9:50 a.m., the BOT meeting pauses to break into committee meetings (administrative, finance, and program), and after which lunch will be served. The Advisory Committee, which is comprised of board officers and committee chairpersons, will have a working lunch in the front conference room at that time.

The Board of Trustees meeting reconvenes at 12:04 p.m.

10.Remembering Why . . . Faith Adoptions / Valari Veteto, Program Manager. Valari gave us an update on Faith Adoptions activities since our last board meeting. A copy of Valari’s report may be found on the Board Portal.

She has been working in adoptions for over 10 years. During this time, Valari has worked very hard to establish relationships and connections with hospitals, foster care, and DCFS in southern Illinois. She has maintained those relationships, as well as those with birth moms. The number of families involved in the

adoption process has grown from 3 to 29 since she joined the Faith Adoption team. This increases that number of family profiles she can share with birth moms looking to place their baby.

Two families are finalizing their adoptions next week, and Valari shares a heartwarming story of “Story,” which provides a unique insight into the dynamics sometimes involved in the process. This particular set of parents had been trying to adopt from China, and with COVID-19, adoptions from China were stalled. She was able to connect them with the birth mom, a 19-year-old law student, whose parents wanted her to have an abortion. The birth mom felt abortion was wrong. Working with the birth mom, and the MSW, Valari was able to get them together, despite some challenges and that adoption is finalized Monday. The adoptive parents’ church set up a fund to support what we do, covering the fees & costs associated with adoption.

Our Chair, Eric Bramlet, asks Brad Burzynski to lead us in prayer for Valari, her staff, and families they serve.

11. Administrative Committee Report & Recommendations – Chris Slusser, Chairperson. The Administrative committee offers a recommendation for BOT approval of the Employment of Relatives Policy, as detailed in the administrative section of the Board Portal. Rationale: to clarify the wording and define the meaning of “household” in the policy.

“Family member in this context means a member of one’s household for whom the employee has responsibility or spouse, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, siblings, mother or father-in-law, daughter or son-in-law, and sister or brother-in-law.”

Recommendation #1 – Approval of the Employment of Relatives Policy. Per our policy The committee approved the motion as proposed.

The recommendations comes from the committee, the motions were approved by the administrative committee as proposed, which is considered “a second.” The motion was unanimously approved by roll call.

12. Finance Committee Report – Rick Layne. Rick Layne shares that there is good news in our audit report, and asks Chris Cox, our Accounting Director and our Atlas representative, Barry Gabbard, to make that report.

Audit Report ending 12-31-2023. [See Board Portal/Finance for our Audit report.] Having given the Finance committee a detailed review of the audit report, Mr. Gabbard notes that his presentation to the full board will be a high-level view of our financial audit. The overall comparison of 2023 to 2022, the total asset line increased significantly to $2.2 million, a 23% increase in our assets over the year. This is a great position to be in and it’s a great driver in the report. Chris adds that our investments went up due to the market, and also due to large estate balances that came in last year. Barry notes that our liabilities decreased about $50,000 or 4%, which is also a good thing. $10,700,000

There is a lot of growth in our bequests, at over $3 million for the year, and Chris clarifies that $1.2 million was received as income in 2022, hence the shown as $1.7 million shown in 2023. Under unrealized gains, our market investments are doing very well; in the previous years we were down almost $900,000 but this year we are up $700,000. A good swing in the market.

Expense. Barry says the only thing of note is a little increase in our salaries and insurance costs related to GraceHaven. Nothing to worry about from Atlas’ auditing standpoint. Chris clarifies that in the previous year we had a number of open staff positions, which have been filled now; and, we had some higher claims on our insurance. We are partially self-funded, so we pay of the first $30,000 in insurance claims then other that our insurance kicks in. We had 5 claims that hit that $30,000 threshold this year, where in years past it was no more than one or two claims that hit that $30,000 threshold. Hence, the increase in expenses.

Overall, a very good year and investment performance. In response to Eric’s question, Barry (Atlas) confirmed that it is a clean audit without recommendations from our auditing firm.

The Finance committee makes the following recommendation:

Recommendation #1 – Approval of the Audit Report ending 12/31/2023. The committee approved the motion as proposed.

The recommendations come from the committee, the motions were approved by the administrative committee as proposed, which is considered “a second.” All the motions were unanimously approved by roll call.

A. 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 $54,000 under budget this year, and $7,700 under where we were at this time last year.

• Service Fees are under budget by $17,000 (Pathways & resident fees), but we’re higher than where we were this time last year This is attributable to Faith Adoptions, who had higher income, and Counselling fees were higher in the central office than budgeted.

• Rent/Royalties which is basically royalties and interest. We didn’t receive a royalty for one month, and so the income is less than budgeted.

• Total Revenue – Overall our revenue is 12% under budget ($74,000), but currently we are almost exactly at the same place we were this time last year for total income.

• Expenses –Salaries and Benefits are $37,000 under budget but $57,000 higher than where we were at this time last year. As explained in the audit presentation, we have filled a number of vacant positions

• Total Expenses are $342,300 to date, which is $13,000 under budget for the year, but we’re up $88,000 more than we were this time last year in expenses.

• Investment Distributions – We pulled $200,000 from our endowment fund in March to help with operating expenses.

• Capital Improvement – No C/I activity year to date

• Investment Report – For the 1st quarter, the market value of our endowment fund at the SBF is $6.6 million. The market value of our endowment fund at the BFI is $1.59 million. Overall, our market value went from $7.99 million to $8.2 million by the end of the first quarter.

The recommendation for the approval of the 1st Quarter Financial reports comes from the committee as a motion. The motion was unanimously approved by roll call.

Minutes

1. Call to Order. Eric Bramlet called to order the regular meeting of the BCHFS Board of Trustees (BOT) at 9:03 a.m. on July 27, 2024, at the Devore Administration Building of the BCHFS campus in Carmi, Illinois.

2. Prayer & Scripture. Chris Slusser shares a question from The Live Inspired podcast hosted by John O’Leary. Guests are asked one of seven questions, and Chris shares one: “It’s been said that all great people can sum their like up in one sentence; how would yours read?” Based on his mission trip experiences overseas, Chris’ answer would be: “He loved God, he served people, and he shared the Gospel, relentlessly.” That third part was the hardest for him until a pastor trained their church in sharing the gospel and confirming that “Nothing can separate us from God’s love.” Chris reads Romans 8:31-37 NIV and closes this time in prayer.

The following members were present: Frank Bateman, Sarah Bordewick, Eric Bramlet, Brad Burzynski (arrived at 11:53am), Cheryl Dorsey, Brian Fuller, Tina Grooms, Doug Haile, Rick Layne, Steve Nyberg, Larry Pearson, Steve Richard, Chris Slusser, and Josh Wehrmeier.

• BCHFS staff members present introduce themselves (see Roll Call section for names).

• Prayer Needs: Ron & his wife, Virginia Philpot, (who’s also has cancer) are down w/COVID.

7.Remembering Why . . . BCH / Carmi. Tim Bunfill (18 yrs.), Program Manager. Tim introduces himself, because he has recently moved from BCH therapist to BCH Program Manager; and he gave us an update on BCH activities since our last board meeting. A board member notes that Tim’s dad, Keith Bunfill, is a longtime pastor, in the area. A copy of Tim’s BCH Program report may be found on the Board Portal.

Tim also introduces us to Dalton Lamb, a resident here on the Carmi campus Dalton has been with us a year, is a recent high school graduate, and credit his success and shares his appreciation for the friends he has here at BCH & for our staff. Dalton is originally from the Effingham/Oblong area, and he is still working out what his future holds. Alyssa notes that Dalton works a few hours a day aiding our maintenance staff. Eric Bramlet thanks Dalton for his testimony, and his recognition of the staff mentoring & assistance. This section is closed in a time of prayer for Dalton given by Cheryl Dorsey.

8.Special Recognition of Staff. Kevin recognizes retiring staff members: Don and Dora Riley, house parents at Angel’s Cove (after 10+ years of service), Beth Hoffman, a Pathways therapist (w/17 years of service), and Phil Mitchell, our maintenance specialist (21 years of service). A contract therapist is stepping away at the end of August, and Guy Williams will be retiring next year. Kevin also recognizes Guy’s fifth year anniversary, before a break in service, Guy had also put in four and a half years with Pathways. Guy reads a letter of gratitude and appreciation to the board, from Beth Hoffman, that will be included with the minutes of this meeting.

9. Executive Director’s (ED) Report – Kevin Carrothers. Kevin provides his quarterly ED report. A written copy of the report can be found on the Board Portal.

Kevin advises the board of a filled vacancy; Ashley Gilmore has been hired as a counselor for the BCH in Carmi and begins May 1st. Ashley was formerly a house parent, and now returns with the requisite degrees and certification in counseling. The Lord has answered that prayer.

Kevin gives us an update on his health and continued recovery (“If it tastes good, spit it out.”) after his heart attack of June 12th. He has had two stints put in, and he’s adjusting to new medications, new diet, and new lifestyle, which is not enjoyable. Kevin is currently in cardiac rehab and sees his doctor again six month. Finally, Kevin expresses his gratitude for all the prayers, words of encouragement, and kind thoughts over the past several weeks; they are greatly appreciated.

Where we are in the mission? Our new mission statement, adopted at the April board meeting, is: “BCHFS strengthens families across Illinois by sharing hope in Jesus Christ.” As we have begun to share that with churches, donors, and speaking engagements throughout Illinois, we also are sharing it was staff as we plan our annual goals. Hence, we are changing the “scorecard” we use to capture activities & things we are going to report to the BOT, IBSA & churches, like, how times we’ve engaged people in our care w/the gospel, how many times are we praying for people, how many bible studies/devotions are we conducting?

Our ED is working Paula Joy and Peacock Printing on our new logo that shares our new mission statement. We’re excited that we now have a full marketing & development staff, since before covid. So, the soft launch of our new mission statement continues until we are ready for the full rollout an launch at the IBSA annual meeting.

Kevin also shares about the connections & collaborations we have with BCCF (Baptist Coalition for Children and Families, https://www.bccfamilies.org). They include:

• A wage & benefits package survey across the nation.

• Working w/a smaller cohort of executive directors discussing regarding missions, identity, communications, and donor relations. We’re sharing best practices, and challenges.

• Paula Joy is involved in a collaboration with the Development Group of BCCF (which she will report on later).

It has been very helpful to interact with other colleagues with a wealth of experience in the field. The goal of BCCF is to go beyond an annual meeting, and to establish ongoing relationships that help the entire body to growth and improve.

Question: Do we have a development officer for our northern region? ED notes that we don’t have a development officer currently, and the position is not in the budget. All M&D staff share that responsibility.

10. Standing Committee meetings. At 9:33 a.m., the BOT meeting adjourned to break into committee meetings (advisory, administrative, finance, and program). The Advisory Committee, which is comprised of board officers and committee chairpersons, meets with our ED.

The Board of Trustees meeting reconvenes at 11:10 a.m. and continues our agenda, skipping Special Recognition until later in the meeting.

11. Administrative Committee Report & Recommendations – Chris Slusser, Chairperson. The Administrative committee pulls the recommendation for BOT approval of the Drug and Alcohol-Free Workplace Policy, for further legal review. A work-in-progress copy of the policy can be found in the administrative section of the Board Portal. The committee will bring the final copy of the policy back to the BOT for review at our October 2024 meeting.

The Administrative committee reviewed BCHFS Salary Schedule, which is required annually. No changes were recommended at this time.

The Administrative makes the following recommendation for BOT approval [This item was initially discussed at the BOT at the April 2024 meeting.]:

Recommendation #1 – Approval to bestow “Emeritus” title to former Director Leon Talley, and former Executive Director, Doug Devore.

Rationale: As discussed at the April 2024 meeting, the ED and the BOT want to recognize the life-long work & contributions of former directors, Leon Talley and Doug Devore. The Chair notes that these gentlemen continued to serve BCHFS after their retirement, and this formalizes their roles as BCHFS goodwill ambassadors.

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

12. Finance Committee Report – Rick Layne. Rick Layne gives the committee report and shares their recommendation. Generally, he notes that while we are “holding our own,” we need to find different ways to increase our donations. Which is why we are excited about Paula’s department being fully staffed.

Recommendation #1 – Approval of BCHFS Investment Policy Statement, as presented.

Rationale: As required annually, the Financial committee has reviewed the BCHFS Investment Policy Statement, and no changes were required. [See the Board Portal/Finance Committee to review this document.] The Financial committee recommends that the BOT approves the BCHFS Investment Policy Statement as presented.

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

Adjourned for Lunch. The Chair entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting for lunch, which was moved by Chris Slusser and seconded by Doug Haile. The motion was unanimously approved by Roll Call. The meeting was adjourned for lunch at 11:06 a.m.

Eric Bramlet calls the meeting to order and the BOT Meeting reconvenes at 11:54 a.m.

13. Special Recognition / Kevin Carrothers, Executive Director.

BOT confers Emeritus Designation to Former Director Leon Talley (’69 - ’94) & Former Executive Director Doug Devore (’95 - ’16 & ’22).

Kevin recognizes Mr. Leon Talley and Mr. Doug Devore for almost 60 continuous years of service to the BCHFS. Leon shared that the BCHFS helped him with his college & seminary tuition, and he came back to work here upon graduation in 1969. Doug “grew up here,” volunteering in 1972 and coming back to work here after college in 1973.

Kevin shares that the BOT voted to bestow upon you both status of “Emeritus,” Leon is designated “Director Emeritus” and Doug is designated as “Executive Director Emeritus.” You both represent a great portion of BCHFS history, and we thank you with these specially engraved plagues. Both gentlemen shared special moments from their history and tenure with BCHFS. Leon especially noted the service and contribution of the late Gordon Lantrip, who was director of the “institutional license” and Leon was over the “placement licensing” (i.e., foster care, adoption, etc.). “He was a wonderful man, and we work together.”

Various board members, staff members, and a former resident shared a number of heartwarming stories of how these gentlemen’s service to the BCHFS impacted each of them.

Some of the sentiments shared included: “A mentor to me & my son, and a father to hundreds of kids who come through the BCHFS.” “Leon, you took my dad on mission with you to Guatemala, and Doug you took a chance on me.” “I can honestly say, I am the only employee I know whose boss put them in a headlock on the first day we met! (Purely for training purposes, of course! (smile)).” “Your work & the anointing on this place causes our hearts to catch on fire.” ‘Thanks for the heritage of faith!”

As a former resident, Steve Richard shares a few memories and key things he learned from Leon & Doug. “I remember when Leon picked me up, I didn’t know what was going on or where I was going. That night some of the kids planned to run away, but I only had a t-shirt and a pair of underwear to my name, so I couldn’t run away!” Finally, Steve told us how Leon, Doug, and all the staff & volunteers worked together to help him find Jesus, which changed the trajectory of his life and his family’s life. Steve ended with a heartful, “Thank you!” 14. Finance Committee Report (continued).

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

• Gift Income is $975,453 for this year, which is under budget by $139,000 this year, and $35,00 under where we were at this time last year.

• Service Fees are under budget by $265,361 (Pathways & resident fees), which is $26,000 under budget, but $5,000 higher than where we were this time last year.

• Rent/Royalties are down a little bit this year; the oil wells are not producing as much as estimated or as experienced in previous years.

• Total Revenue – Overall our revenue is $1,255,000, which is $169,000 under budget, and $34,873 from where we were this time last year.

• Expenses –Salaries and Benefits are under budget because we’ve had vacant positions, but we are now filling those positions. Consequently, those negative number will start decreasing over the course of the year.

• Insurance – We self-insure to the first $30,000, then our insurance kicks in. Because we had more insurance expense last year, we budgeted more. So, we are $100,000 under budget in total fringe benefits, and about the same as last year. Under Property Insurance you’ll note that we are $17,885 over budget for the year, we failed to include Earthquake insurance

• Investment Distributions & Investment Report – In the second quarter, a distribution from an estate was received in the amount of $67,603. An IRA beneficiary distribution was received in the amount of $19,934. Investment Report. The investment funds produced income in the amount of $59,382 in the quarter. Unrealized net gains of $70,093 led to an increase in the fair market value of our accounts in the second quarter of $116,806.

• Capital Improvement – In Carmi, we replaced a step outside to make it handicap accessible

B. Development & Marketing Report – Paula Joy, Dir. of Development & Marketing. [Paula’s report can be found on the Board Portal under the Finance Committee tab.] Paula reminds us that the BCH was started when men from FBC got out and did the hard work of raising funds. Paula needs the BOT to help us to get the word out that we rely solely on the funds, the donations received from our churches and individuals. She shares the following highlights:

• Mother’s Day Offering & Fundraising – As of July 17th, we have raised $179,000, and our goal was $240,000. While our world in is an economic crisis, our God reigns. We need to pray and share the need with those we encounter. Paula is very encouraged & hopeful, as a result of recent hires that gives us a full marketing and development staff. Hence, more feet on the ground and more promotional opportunities. We had 143 church and individual visits.

• BCHFS Fall Festival & Donation of 20 Quilts – The Fall Festival is scheduled for Saturday, September 21st. “Thank you” to the ladies at the church in Marshall, IL, who created the quilts on display in our board room today. They will be part of the Quilt Auction at our Fall Festival, which begins at 12:30 p.m, and the Silent Auction begins at 10 a.m. All are encouraged to attend and bring your families and churches. It’s a great time to see the campus and get familiar with each of our ministries (each will have a booth!).

• GraceHaven Fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, October 25th. Steventhen Holland will be a special guest speaker. See promotional materials distributed today.

• BCHFS is hosts the Connections Conference (for marketing and development staff) this year in August 25th – 27th, which a part of the BCCF (Baptist Coalition for Children & Families).

Board members are invited to participate in the Sunday kick-off. Brad Burzynski, board member and part of Little Big Band, and they will be playing at the welcome dinner on the 26th. Contact Paula, as soon as possible if you’d like to attend.

Paula points out importance of communicating who we are, what our needs are, and from whom we receive our funding: Churches & individuals.

• Eric Bramlet shares his personal experience with how a change in pastors, or just the passage of time, can make pastors and churches lose sight of the importance of putting BCHFS in their budgets, as well as the fact that we do not receive Cooperative or IBSA funding.

• Cheryl Dorsey asks for a brochure that explains not only who we are, but also how we are funded, i.e. church & individual donations, charity events, and estate planning. Something we can leave with people, churches after we speak with them. Perhaps even a special marketing campaign that is sent to churches prior to their budget process for the fiscal year or calendar year.

• Tina Grooms asks for an update on how we did last year at the GraceHaven fundraiser? Per Chris Cox, we received about $80,000 (the goal was $75,000). Which was down from 2022, where we received over $100,000.

15. Program Committee Report – Steve Richard, Vice Chair. In Ron Daniel’s absence, Steve Richard gave an overview of ministry program reports with staff members Tim Bunfill (BCH), Guy Mitchell (Pathways), and Bill Foote (Overall) giving reports for their specific areas. All program reports can be found on the Board Portal under the Program committee tab. Steve highlighted a few items: 1) BCH had one baptism; the young lady (whose father was a pastor) was baptized by her dad during a home visit; 2) With retirements, Pathways is looking for counselors in the Vandalia, Effingham, and the Metro East areas; please keep them in your prayers; and, 3) As Guy was counseling on site at a local church, the 10 yr. old saw VBS promotional materials on the wall of the office, and despite being unchurched, the mother brought the 10-year-old to VBS.

9. Special Recognition of Staff. Kevin Carrothers recognizes Guy Williams, Pathways Program Manager who is celebrating five years with us, and he has also announced his retirement at the end of 2025. Guy has been with BCHFS for five years this time around and was previously with us for four and a half years.

10. Executive Director’s (ED) Report – Kevin Carrothers. Kevin provides his quarterly ED report. A written copy of the report was emailed to the board, and can also be found on the Board Portal. Kevin highlights three areas in his verbal report: 1) A fresh look, 2) a focused mission, and 3) forward looking.

A fresh look. Kevin introduces the new logo, the name has been shortened to BCHFS, and the house has been updated. The new logo hasn’t been service-marked yet, but Kevin will pursue that. Each ministry will use the updated house logo w/their name beneath it, in their chosen color palette.

A focused mission. Our new mission statement, adopted at the April board meeting, is: “BCHFS strengthens families across Illinois by sharing hope in Jesus Christ.” Amber testimony was a shining example of how the ministries of BCHFS strengthen families. Kevin also shares a map of Illinois highlighted to show the breadth of services provided, and where he’s made visits. This demonstrate the far reaches of our ministry in the state of Illinois.

Forward Looking. We need to begin to think about what we are going to look like in 2030. How can we as a board grow? What things can we do to be the best board possible? This includes a board self-assessment, which the BOT will complete today. We have financial challenges. Our giving is down (this follows a trend of other Illinois Baptist entities. We must build our endowment and move to the point where we are operating out of our interest, and not dipping into the principal. We need to generate new sources of revenue. We need to look into succession planning. We need to look at our BCH buildings, which currently look like the 50s & 60s institutional structures they were designed to be. In terms of risk management, lifestyle, and programming, they need improvement. The time to plan for the future is NOW.

We’ve clarified our mission, and in January, Kevin plans to present to the BOT a Strategic Planning Process and ask the BOT to approve a Strategic Work Group consisting of board members and staff, to help to develop the vision. In context with that, we must also begin to think about Succession Planning. In ten years, the board will be different, the staff will be different, and we have to think about that and plan accordingly. Jeremiah 29:11 CSB, says “For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your wellbeing, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” In many ways, we are the exiles in a new Babylon.

For over 106 years, God has been faithful to the BCHFS to give us a hope and a future. Should the Lord tarry another 100 years, we need to make sure we have planned for that eventuality. We need to do it now.

11. Recommendation of 2025 Board Officers / Kevin Carrothers & Eric Bramlet. Minutes from the Advisory Committee are distributed for review.

• Insurance – Kevin Carrothers explains the reason for our lower insurance expenses; our insurance broker informed us that our total insurance umbrella has been reduced from $5,000,000 to $2,000,000 per incident. This results in a lower insurance premium

• Farm Lease – Brad asks about the duration of the lease; Keven advises that we are in the last year of a 5-year lease. 400 of our 750 acres are leased at $540 per acre. 350 acres are forest, for which we recently completed our timber plan. We made $100,000 on that timber plan 10 years ago, and it will be approximately 10 years before we can harvest again. CRP mentioned in discussion stands for Conservation Reserve Program, where farmers a paid to let the ground rest.

• Ultrasound Machine – These machines have a 5-to-7-year lifespan. Kevin advises that while the machines could last beyond 7 years, it is likely that technology would make them and their repair obsolete.

• Capital Improvements – Chris reviews proposed capital improvements for 2025.

Recommendation of 2025 Operating Budget Approval. The Chair recognized the Financial Committee’s motion for the approval of the Operating Budget and called for its approval. The 2025 Operating Budget is unanimously approved by Roll Call.

Recommendation of 2025 Capital Improvements Budget Approval. The Chair recognized the Financial Committee’s motion for the approval of the Capital Improvements Budget and called for its approval. Question: Would major item in the CI budget come back to the board for approval? If the cost of the budget item exceeded the amount approved in the budget (& policy parameters), it would be brought back to the BOT for approval. The 2025 Capital Improvements Budget is unanimously approved by Roll Call.

C. Development & Marketing Report – Paula Joy, Dir. of Development & Marketing. [Paula’s report can be found on the Board Portal under the Finance Committee tab.] Paula needs the BOT to help us to get the word out that we rely solely on the funds, the donations received from our churches and individuals. She shares the following highlights:

• The BCHFS Fall Newsletter is in the mail – Look for your copy!

• Staffing – All Development Officers openings have been filled. Tom Turner is the development officer for Central Illinois, which includes the area between I-80 and I-70. Melissa Pollard is our new development officer for Southern Illinois. Kayla, a former houseparent, as our administrative assistant. Aubrey Knoll is our multimedia specialist.

• Visual of the Illinois Map and the 33 local associations they represent – Paula shared with her staff that including Kevin, there are only four people to cover the entire state of Illinois. So, shares Development’s need for the BOT’s active assistance in reaching donors throughout the state. We have a $2.5 million fundraising budget, and we are asking you to start talking about our financial need to everyone in your spheres of influence at churches and local associations

• The Importance of Reconnection / 2 Examples: Tom Turner made 104 church visits, and many of those are small churches that are not staffed during the day. So, Tom left our information at Smithton Church, and they connected with him asking how they could meet a need. They brought donations for the Fall Festival, and they sent $2,000 financial gift. This was a reconnection with a church that had not been giving, and with whom we had lost contact. Another example is Hickory Creek Church in the Chicagoland area; Paula visited with them last year and they group just sent a $3,000 gift to cover an unanticipated flooring repair at Angels’ Cove. Connecting and “reconnecting” is important to meeting our fundraising goals.

• GraceHaven Fundraising Dinner – Last night’s dinner was a great success, the staff was so supportive, doing things before Paula could even ask. The speaker was very good; his mentally challenge mother was a victim of rape. She chose life, and her son is a Pro-Life Advocate. Unfortunately, we don’t have a financial update on monies raised last night.

Eric Bramlet asks if we have a Northern Illinois development officer. We do not, this position was not in the budget for 2025. Paula & Kevin are covering Northern Illinois. From a personal experience with a pastor, Eric pointed out the importance of getting the word out to pastors and churches that BCHFS does not receive funding from NAMB or IBSA.

15. Program Committee Report – Ron Daniels, Chairman. The Program committee elected officers for 2025, and they are Steve Richard, Chairman, Frank Bateman, Vice Chairman, and, due to vacancies on the

committee, the Secretary position must be filled in January. All program reports can be found on the Board Portal under the Program committee tab. Ron expressed his appreciation for the great reports the committee heard from staff. Amanda Neibel came and shared her Angels’ Cove report in person.

A. Service Delivery Report – Bill Foote, Director Programs & Compliance. [The service delivery report can be found on the Board Portal under the Program committee tab.] Bill reviews service delivery numbers and answers questions. In particular, Bill shared about staff turnover with members retiring or going out on their own; as a result, he warns that the 4th quarter service numbers for counseling will be down. He requests prayer for this need. Beyond service numbers, Kevin is challenging the staff to look for and report on “Kingdom Outcomes” in their reporting. These kind of metrics (i.e., gospel conversations, bible studies, prayer opportunities, etc.) will lean into realizing how we are fulfilling the mission.

Cheryl notes that in listening to Amanda, she asked about Amber’s status, her faith walk, and the committee learned that Amber is a seeker, who attending church, but has not yet make a confession of Christ. Sarah Bordewick amplifies that point by reported that the mom of those beautiful twins, who visited us last year, has made a commitment to Christ and was being baptized a few weeks ago! Paula reports on another former client and her daughter who was recently baptized. Kingdom outcomes.

16.Recognition of Retiring Board Members – Kevin Carrothers. We have five retiring board members: Ron Philpot (Zoom) retires after one year due to family health challenges, Jason Plumer (Zoom) retires after one term, Chris Slusser retires after two terms and one year, Sarah Bordewick retires after two years, completing a vacated position, and Doug Haile retires after completing his second term. The retiring members present expressed their gratitude and appreciation for BCHFS and its ministry. Kevin thanks all the retiring board members for their service and support.
