A Note about BGAV's Budget for 2022

by David Washburn

As we reflect on the past year and look ahead $12,449,045 to the year that awaits us, the local church continues to feel the effects of Covid-19. The challenges you have faced and the adjustments you have made bear witness to the creative, resilient spirit of Virginia Baptists. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do as part of the BGAV.

The 2021 annual meeting was different yet similar, as we once again met virtually with both live and prerecorded segments. Your participation created an event that highlighted the many ways BGAV churches and ministries have been and will continue to be a missionary movement of churches in 2022. This included the approval of our 2022 budget of $8,645,000.

Since our founding in 1823, Virginia Baptists have generously participated in a shared mission to live out the unfolding story of our faith in Jesus Christ. Your generosity and commitment to Cooperative Missions enables us to be uniquely positioned to fulfill our calling to advance the Redeemer’s Kingdom. You have so much to be proud of in the work the BGAV has accomplished thus far, and it is my hope and prayer you will come alongside your Virginia Baptist family and be part of a challenging and exciting 2022.
