An Invitation from the Holy Spirit to Imagine and Dream A Future for CBFNC As the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina (CBFNC) celebrates twenty years of life, we hear an invitation from the Holy Spirit to dream of a future in which we will n be eager for the overarching purposes of God’s Kingdom to shape
us and for the ways of Jesus increasingly to become our ways;
n take bold and creative risks for the sake of greater faithfulness
and effectiveness;
n explore renewed and new ways of gathering—as congregations,
as a Fellowship, as networks, as partners, and as missional communities —in order to encourage one another’s formation into Christlikeness;
n
be faithful to the convictions and values which gave us birth;
n give thanks for the mission and ministry we have pursued together,
as well as for rich relationships we have formed and enjoyed with each other; and,
n live joyfully and serve willingly, confident that both we and the future
are in God’s strong and tender hands.
