This association of churches is a reflection of the New Testament model of gospel partnerships. What is Our Vision? A few years ago, we envisioned the creation of a culture of trust and cooperation among churches of HOKSBA as they worked together to fulfill the Great Commission. That trust and cooperation has grown and there has been an increasing alignment of vision and values. What is Happening Now? In this last year we have seen health and growth in existing churches resulting in people who are far from God coming to know Christ and grow in their faith. We have seen existing churches making very significant gifts of finances and of property to see the establishment of new churches. There are churches who have reached a place of plateaued growth doing the hard work of redreaming and re-tooling in obedience to the Great Commission of our Lord. I am excited about where we are as an association of churches. This does not mean that the way forward looks easy. I am excited because the things that we are doing together are a reflection of what the churches of the New Testament did together. What does the New Testament Teach us about Association? New Testament churches partnered by intentionally giving money and people for the expansion of the Kingdom. The church at Jerusalem was not threatened by the establishment of the church at Antioch, but rather sent Barnabas to make sure the church was established well and was doctrinally sound. The church at Antioch sent Paul and Barnabas to plant new churches, and then sent Paul and Silas back to those churches to make sure the churches were healthy. Looking at the Past and the Future. In 1952 this association of churches was established by 13 churches. By 1960 there were 35 churches. As with the churches of the NT, there have been times of peace and growth, and there have been difficult times. But God has used this association of churches to work together to expand His kingdom. The days before us are a great opportunity for us to continue to work together as the body of Christ for the expansion of His Kingdom and the glory of His Name. In this coming year I expect to see us continue to grow in creating a culture of trust and cooperation. I anticipate us gaining greater strategic clarity as we consider how we can recruit, assess, equip and invest in church planting and in church health. And I anticipate the addition of other churches to our association who share our doctrine, our vision, and our values. Thank you for Partnering to Reach our Region. Thank you again for the privilege of serving as your Director of Missions and for the significant investment the churches of Heart of Kansas consistently make in the health and growth of the Kingdom of our Lord in this region. Our focus on this geographic field is one of the things that local associations of churches do best. His Blessings, years we envisioned the creation of a culture of trust and cooperation among churches of 6 Heart of Kansas Southern Baptist Association 64th Annual Meeting Journey the Way 147 S.

Moderator Dennis Burns called the meeting to order. Seating of Messengers … Motion by Dennis Burns that the 121 messengers in the sanctuary, and those arriving after the beginning of the Meeting, constitute the body of the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Heart of Kansas Southern Baptist Association. Motion carried. DOM Report … Glenn Davis. As of October 1, Abraham Arevalo and Brad Simmons are no longer employed by HOKSBA; they are now fully employed by NAMB, and will work for HOKSBA on part-time basis. Glenn’s report is recorded in the Annual Book of Reports. The report emphasized that change is coming to our Association and in our community/world (Luke 5:37-38). The Way Forward is seeing that Kingdom Work is much larger than HOKSBA or any affiliated church. We need to return to the Great Commission, to the Call God has placed in our lives. We can give (ex: World Hunger Day) and we can pray. God calls us to continue learning [“Study to show yourself approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Tim. 2:15)]. We all need to be passionate about doing this if we are going to reach the world with the gospel, to do what Jesus has called us to do: love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself. Pray that God will continue His work in this area; that new churches will be planted; and that existing churches will be strengthened. Appointing Acting Parliamentarian … Dennis Burns. Jerry Smith was not able to join us for the Annual Meeting. The Moderator nominated Ron Pracht (Olivet) to position of Acting Parliamentarian. Approved. AMDC/Danny Dirks Report … Cody Busby. See page 32. In addition to Report, AMDC proposed spending $42,000 from the Danny Dirks Fund to support four church plants in 2015: Three Wooden Crosses Cowboy Church (3WC - $12,000); CenterPoint Church ($12,000); Logos ($6,000); and Sojourn ($12,000). Approved. Financial Report … Darrell Duncan. See insert. As of the end of September, we are $3,242.61 under our budgeted church income amount. This amount has been countered by controlled misc. expense and interest income. We started 2014 with a balance of $92,912.77; our new balance is $128,773.89. We do have some line-items that are “over”, specifically the cost of insurance increased significantly in 2014 vs. 2013 (new insurance provider has been procured to decrease this overage). Approved. Shiloh Funds Recommendation … Darrell Duncan. See page 40 of the Annual Book of Reports. Approved. 2015 Budget … Darrell Duncan. See page 39 of the Annual Book of Reports. Approved. Constitution changes … Kelly Randolph. See insert. The 2013 Annual Meeting Messengers appointed a Constitution Committee with evaluating the current HOKSBA Constitution and bringing any recommended changes to this year’s Meeting. Drafts were presented at the April and July Executive Board Meetings, and changes were made based on Executive Board Member feedback. Discussion regarding Proposed Changes will take place after Break. Two specific issues have been addressed in the Final Draft: 1. Baptist Faith and Message. Article III, Section 1: Changed to “This association shall consist of cooperating Southern Baptist churches whose faith and practice is in accordance with the doctrine expressed in The 2000 Baptist Faith and Message…” in order to preserve doctrinal integrity. Committee asks all established churches and plants to agree to this language, while acknowledging local church autonomy (see Section 3). 2. Messenger Allowance. Article V, Section 1(c): Changed to “Each church shall be represented by church appointed messengers to the Annual Meeting. Each church shall be entitled to four (4) messengers from a weekly worship attendance of up to one hundred (100), and one (1) messenger for each additional one hundred (100) or fraction thereof in weekly worship attendance. No church shall have more than nine (9) messengers. All messengers must be members of the church they represent” in order to bring more equality between smaller and larger churches at Annual Meeting. 9 Recognition of New Staff … Brad Simmons. Mark Penick, Metro East; Matthew Nix, Metropolitan; Philip Lawrence, Indian Southern; Kevin Ferstl, Cedar Pointe; and Steve Hazell, Country Acres Baptist Church. Baptism Awards … Brad Simmons. God works through His churches. The following churches recorded more baptisms in this year’s ACP reports than last year: Aviator Derby; Cedar Pointe; Centerpoint Church; Country Acres; FBC Haysville; IB Getsemani; Indian Southern; Journey the Way; Olivet Baptist; Parkview; Prairie Trail Cowboy Church; Riverview; Salt City Cowboy Church; Sojourn; South City; Southwest Baptist; 3WC; West Ridge Community; Westview. Break Greetings from KNCSB … Bob Mills. Report emphasized appreciation for the generous support of the Cooperative Program (CP) and Viola Webb program. The CP funding allows Southern Baptists from KNCSB regions to reach out all across the world, starting at home. Examples included: provide funds to both existing churches and new church plants; collegiate ministries; Super Summer (where 133 came to faith this year!); and Wonderful Weekend for Women. These funds are also used to show Christ’s love by assisting the needs of others globally (ex: the Disaster Relief committee’s well/water projects in the Philippines). At this time, the greatest deficit we, as The Church, have is our lack of true discipleship training. We must increase our discipleship. Church growth and church planting would be much more easily realized if we concentrated on this training. KNCSB is the only state convention that keeps 50% of its Viola Webb offerings within its borders in order to assist local churches, both established and plants. Eph. 3:16-19: “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Constitution changes … Kelly Randolph. The Moderator opened the floor for discussion of the motion presented: Tim Ohls, Believers, spoke against the motion. John Barrett, Believers, spoke against the motion. George Goudie, Believers, spoke against the motion. Kelly Randolph, Committee Chair, spoke to clarify points raised by above mentioned Messengers. Joe Boyd, Aviator Derby, spoke for the motion. Carl Timmons, Believers, spoke against the motion. Kelly Randolph, Committee Chair, spoke to clarify points raised by above mentioned Messengers. Joe Boyd, Aviator Derby, spoke for the motion. The Moderator then moved on to the vote. The motion was presented as proposed with instructions (yes = for amendment; no = rejection of amendment in its entirety). Ballots were passed out, marked, and collected. Election of Officers … Jerry Elder. See page 36 of the Annual Book of Reports. Approved. Committee on Committees … Mark Jackson. See page 35 of the Annual Book of Reports. Mason Lampkin from Metropolitan added to the Credentials Committee. Approved. Time, Place, & Preacher Report … Dennis Burns. See page 36 of the Annual Book of Reports. Approved. Praise & worship … River Community Worship Team Annual Sermon … Dave Mitchell. Reference: Judges 3 “Whoops, I did it again!” (Christianity vs. popular culture, specifically gay marriage and Supreme Court decision). 1. God is incredibly comfortable in allowing “test” of allegiance to “remain in the land”. 2. We can cry out to God earlier (pray for deliverers). 3. I doubt my ability to deliver. “CAN I DO IT?” Results of Ballot Vote … Dennis Burns. The marked ballots had been counted and the results were as follows: 93 in favor/37 opposed. Constitution changes were Approved. The meeting was concluded with prayer. 10 Heart of Kansas Southern Baptist Association Executive Board Meeting Midway Baptist Church January 13, 2015 Ray Emery, pastor of Midway Baptist, welcomed attendees and opened with scripture (Hebrews 11:13-16) and prayer. Moderator Dennis Burns called the meeting to order. Heart of Kansas received a Letter of Withdrawal from Believers’ Southern Baptist, effective November 1, 2014. This action will affect various Committees. Withdrawal recognized. Past Minutes … Dennis Burns. Review of Minutes from October 6, 2014 Annual Meeting. Minutes approved. AMDC … Ray Emery. Believers’ Juvenile Detention Facility (JDF) Ministry has been partly funded ($150/month) by HOKSBA’s Viola Webb account since Loren Phippen retired from HOKSBA in 2012. In light of Believers’ unanimous withdrawal from HOKSBA, AMDC recommends discontinuing this monthly funding. Recommendation approved. Financial Report … Darrell Duncan. We ended the year in a secure financial position. Church giving was $16,000 behind our budgeted income amount; however, spending was lower than budgeted. General Fund analysis shows that we started 2014 with a balance of $92,000; our new balance is $143,000. Report approved. Hispanic Church Plant Report … Abraham Arevalo. • 2015 is going to be a great year for Hispanic Church work. We ask for prayers in support of these plans. • We will be hosting our first Hispanic Church Plant Network meeting In Topeka, February 2 – 3. Persons from South Sioux City, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, to name a few, will be there to learn how to be more intentional in our church planting and how to train mentors. • We will be hosting a Disaster Relief Training in Spanish February 6 – 7. Our NAMB representative will also be in attendance. • At the same time, Iglesia Bautista Logos (Cristian Alvarado) is growing.

Please RSVP to our office if you would like to attend. • For the last two or three years, KNCSB has had a task force on the Future. One of the takeaways from this group is an encouragement for KNCSB to start strategic agreements with the Associations to formalize our relational ministries. HOKSBA would like to create a task force to create our agreement, using KNCSB’s as a template. We will not be changing our relationship with KNSCB; only formalizing it. Agreement Task force … Kelly Randolph. The Association has been asked to put together a task force to create an agreement to clarify and strengthen our relationship with KNCSB. We will present this agreement to the Executive Board at a future meeting. Please pray for the team, and encourage them in their work on our behalf. Appointed by Moderator. Kelly Randolph, Pastor at Country Acres Baptist Church, Wichita Chad Pearce, Pastor at Journey the Way, Wichita Mason Lampkin, Pastor at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Wichita David Mitchell, Pastor at West Ridge Community Church, Wichita Don Mayberry, Pastor at Three Wooden Crosses, Augusta Prayer Requests … The meeting was concluded with prayer. 11 Heart of KansasSouthern Baptist Association Executive Board Meeting Casa De Dios April 14, 2015 Abraham Arevalo, pastor of Casa de Dios, welcomed attendees and opened with scripture (Is. 57:15) and prayer.

Glenn Davis and Bob Mills were also present. As we discussed the partnership agreement, it became clear that in order to complete the shared ministry agreement with KNCSB, we needed to clarify what our associational ministry strategies would be in the near future. With this background, we would like to recommend the following to the HOKSBA Executive Board: that the shared ministry agreement team preciously approved by the Executive Board be expanded to include Brad Simmons (HOKSBA) and Ryan McCoskey (The Seed), and that the purpose of this group also be extended to include clarifying and recommending associational ministry strategies for the near future. The team will report back to the Executive Board with recommendations at a future meeting. Recommendation approved. Hispanic Church Plant Report … Abraham Arevalo. • Changes in the Association life have directly affected the Hispanic work in our area.

American Mission Board, and Kansas Nebraska Convention of southern Baptists. The AMDC is also responsible for approving funding for Church Planters who receive support from these sources. The AMDC also oversees a Mission Money fund of $12,000 that is distributed for special projects to churches with requests that fall within specific parameters. In the 2015 Associational year the AMDC approved Mis- sion Money for ministry projects at the following churches: First Southern Hutch, Church Ignited, CenterPoint, Tyler Road, 3WC, and Aviator. Every request is carefully considered before being granted to ensure they fall within the guidelines set for funding. The AMDC takes seriously the stewardship of the kingdom resources for which it is responsible. It has been so rewarding to hear how these small investments, used by our wonderful pastors, have resulted in lives changed by the Gospel. If you have an idea for a special ministry project through your church, and find you need help with funding, consider making a request to the AMDC. 16 Financial Report/Receipts and Expense Budget Comparison Jan - Aug 2015 Annual Budget Income Gen.

We truly believe that many great thinks are ahead of us. Here is a small report on Hispanic Church Planting in east Kansas and Nebraska. Principe de Paz is a new church in Wichita. Church planter Baldemar Ziad started this church, which is sponsored by Parkview Baptist Church. They have held regular services at Parkview since May. Iglesia Bautista Logos, a church plant sponsor by Tyler Road Baptist Church, is now meeting in a new location. Olivet Baptist Church has opened their doors for Logos, and they are now having services at Olivet on Sunday mornings under a new name “Encuentro con Cristo”. Two new families had joined the church since the change of location. Please pray for Cristian and Nelly Alvarado as they lead this church. Jonathan Castillo is now serving as a church planter apprentice at Encuentro con Cristo. In January 2016, Jonathan and his wife Betsy will move to Topeka to start a new Hispanic church sponsored by First Baptist Church in Topeka. Roberto and Vicky Hazen, a church plating missionaries supported by Country Acres Baptist Church, are reaching to the Hispanics in the Winfield and Arkansas City Area. Worship services in Spanish are being held at Arkansas City on Saturdays and Sundays at Winfield. Bible studies, kids’, and youth activities are happening through out the week in both locations. Going further north, a great church planting effort is being developed at east Nebraska. A new church plant is now a reality at Madison and plans are being develop for Grand Island, Columbus, and Lincoln. Pray for the vision God is giving to David Martinez, pastor of Northern Heights Hispanic Church, and for the team that is working with him to develop and implement this strategy for East Nebraska. We appreciate so much your prayers for us. Please pray for wisdom, direction, and health for Ester and for me. Pray also for our kids who are going through important transitions in their lives. And, also pray for the pastors, church planters, and all the people we have the honor to serve and love. 23 Letter from our CPC Brad Simmons God continues to use the churches and church plants of the Heart of Kansas to plant new churches and reach the lost around us. Some exciting events this year include: • • Aviator Church, which started in 2008, baptized their 1,000th person this year. Journey the Way sent their Worship Pastor, Dave Gass, and several families to Lee’s Summit, Missouri to plant a church in that city. • City Life Church sent their Worship pastor, Dale Huntington, and several families to San Diego, his hometown, to plant a church in that city. • Metropolitan Baptist Church has hosted a Vietnamese congregation for many years. With Metropolitan’s support, that congregation has taken its first steps towards independence and is looking to move to another part of the city in the near future. There is such great cooperation between the churches in the Heart of Kansas and their willingness to share resources. For most churches, one of their most significant resources is their building, which happens to be one of the greatest needs for church plants. Many church buildings throughout the association are home to more than one church. What a great way to use the resources of the Kingdom of God! The coming year promises to be exciting as well, as men and families God has called to start new churches begin to gather. I am thankful for the commitment to church planting that the churches of the Heart of Kansas has made as we work together to reach the hundreds of thousands of lost people that live around us. 24 2016 CALENDAR JANUARY 1 New Year’s Day 9 Kid’s Camp Team Mtg; FSBC Topeka 12 Executive Board Meeting; 10:30 a.m., Calvary Baptist, Valley Center FEBRUARY MARCH 20 27 APRIL 2 12 MAY 30 JUNE 12-13 13-17 14-15 20-24 Palm Sunday Easter Sunday KNCSB VBS Jumpstart Clinic; WCC, Salina Executive Board Meeting; 10:30 a.m., Olivet Baptist, Wichita Memorial Day SBC Pastors’ Conference; St. Louis, MO Kid’s Camp; WCC, Salina SBC Annual Meeting; St. Louis, MO Hispanic Super Summer; WCC, Salina JULY 4 Independence Day 12 Executive Board Meeting; 10:30 a.m., Pleasantview Baptist, Derby AUGUST SEPTEMBER 5 Labor Day 11 Kid’s Camp Team Mtg; Tyler Rd. 16-17 Wonderful Weekend for Women; WCC, Salina OCTOBER 2 or 3 HOKSBA Annual Meeting; Country Acres Baptist Church, TBA 10 KNCSB Annual Meeting; LifeSpring Church, Bellevue, NE NOVEMBER 24Thanksgiving DECEMBER 5 Pastor Appreciation Christmas Party; TBA 25Christmas 31 New Year’s Eve 25 The Wichita Story 1960 26 03 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 27 PEOPLE Glenn Davis Director of Missions [email protected] (316) 209-9310 Abraham Arevalo Church Plant Catalyst/Hispanic Consultant [email protected] (316) 371-4312 Brad Simmons Church Plant Catalyst/Admin & Leadership Development Consultant [email protected] Sarah McNay Office Manager/Bookkeeper 30% [email protected] (316) 943-344 28 EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS Abraham Arevalo, Casa de Dios Binh Thang Nguyen, Immanuel Vietnamese Bruce Hays, Parkview Baptist Bryan Jones, Tyler Road Baptist Chad Pearce, Journey the Way Chris Bray, Prairie Trail Cowboy Church Cody Busby, First Baptist Church Mulvane Dale Kelley, First Baptist Church Maize Danny Payne, Pleasantview Baptist Dave Mitchell, West Ridge Community Dennis Burns, Cedar Pointe Guy Mitchell, Rolling Hills Baptist James Albers, Celebration Baptist Jay Lewis, South City Baptist Jermaine Pennington, Victory Baptist Community of Faith Jerry Elder, Riverview Baptist Jerry Smith, Faith Baptist Joe Boyd, Aviator Church Keith Kelley, First Baptist Church Clearwater Kelly Randolph, Country Acres Baptist Kurtis Haynes, Westview Baptist Lam Le, Vietnamese Metropolitan Baptist Church Lang Sengviley, Lao Baptist Church Mark Penick, Metro East Marty Million, Southside Baptist Mason Lampkin, Metropolitan Matthew Aston, Olivet Baptist Michael Ronan, Immanuel Baptist Church Newton Michael Scott, Calvary Miguel Flores, Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida Mike Smith, Planeview Baptist Norm Duncan, True Life Church Philip Lawrence, Indian Southern Phillip “Bo” Graves, First Bpatist Church Haysville Richard Simmons, Harmony Baptist Roy Jaye, First Southern Baptist Church Hutchinson Sorn Im, Cambodian Steve Tims, Sharon Baptist Sung Kim, Wichita Korean Baptist Terry Williams, River Community Church Walter “Ray” Emery, Midway Baptist “The Executive Board shall consist of the officers of the Association, the pastor of each church cooperating in the Association, and two others appointed by each church annually.
