What a week!
I just returned from the 2025 National Church Planting conference where we gave away $3,000 to church plants all over the country. The conference as a whole raised over $1.1 million dollars, and we were able to help several churches with gifts of about $200 – $300 each. You can view the details of ALL the church planters by visiting HeartlandBaptist.edu/CPC and click the “View Needs List” button. It was a GREAT booklet this year with updates from last year and pictures from all 25 past conferences, and even has a picture of me with hair in 2005-ish!
I ended up forgetting my booklet in the rental car, so the update for each individual we gave to will have to come later!
In the meantime, we can rejoice together for such an incredible start to the year.
Here at Calvary Baptist Church, we are so thankful for what God did in our services last Sunday! The evening service laid out the main new ideas coming in 2025, including our New-to-CBC class we started today, the new Deeper in the Word Bible Institute we’re starting in a couple of weeks, and our new CBC Weekly digital bulletin to help you stay connected throughout the week.
Pray for one another as we are steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord!
