We here in the West Chowan Baptist Association are committed to the task of "producing much fruit" (John 15:8) by assisting our churches in the process of making "Christ Followers who will Follow Christ." Our vision of making "Christ Followers who will Follow Christ" is driven by the imperatives of Christ which are hung on the following three non-negotiable characteristics of a Christ Follower: 1) GIVE UP by Surrendering (Luke 9:23), Sacrificing (Luke 14:33) and Listening (John 10:27), 2) GIVE IN by Abiding in His word (John 8:31), Obeying His commands (Luke 5:27), and Walking in His Light (John 8:12), 3) GIVE OUT by Loving one another (John 13:35), becoming a Servant (John 12:26), and Sharing our faith (Matthew 4:19). |

Out of many, oneWhen the thirteen colonies joined together, we became known as the United States of America. A new nation was born. Victory over the British occurred because these thirteen colonies did not fight as many, but as one. The United States Capitol is a phenomenal structure and one of my favorite buildings on this earth. The Rotunda is in the middle of the Capitol. In the dome of the Rotunda is the inscription, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” a Latin phrase that means, “from the many, one,” or “out of many, one,” or “one from many.” It was this inscription that was also placed on the original Great Seal of the United States.

 (3/19/20): This could be a season during which we can shine the light of Christ in a more obvious way than at any time in recent history. As God leads, perhaps your churches can make Operation Inasmuch type projects a priority for the next few months. Of course, avoid projects that would create large groups or force close contact for extended periods. However, there could be many things we can do to serve our communities: yardwork, delivering food or meals and leaving them on the porch, making phone calls to residents of care facilities, and more. We trust and support the decisions your churches make, but we do encourage them to follow God's direction in how they can serve. https://baptistsonmission.org/Mission-Projects/North-Carolina/Operation-Inasmuch |

| December 30, 2020 Welcome to 2021! Isn’t it good to move beyond 2020?! As I am sure most of you would agree we have certainly changed over the last 10 to 11 months and for some it has been a difficult transition, however, for others we have discovered a new purpose in life. Without a doubt, as I look across the landscape of 2021, I see a group of churches ready and posed to restart what Christ had begun in 2020 prior to the pandemic striking. (read more) |
