CNBC Annual Convention Report, July 2011

Welcome to the Annual Convention Meeting July 5-7, 2011 • Calgary, Alberta

We would like to welcome you to the annual convention of the CNBC. This year has brought many changes to the CNBC but we are con-fident that God is in control and that he will continue to advance his work through us for the Kingdom of God.

We invite you to a time of refreshment, en-couragement, and an encounter with God as we seek together to give ourselves a way to advance the kingdom of God. Our hope is that this time together with our family of churches will refresh your spirit and be an encourage-ment to your life and ministry.

If there is anything that I or my staff can do to make your time with us more meaningful we would be glad to do it. Please do not be afraid to ask; our heart is to serve you and give you the best possible opportunity to be refreshed and to hear from God.

Gerry Taillon

CNBC National Ministry Leader

Dr. Kevin Ezell, new president of the North American Mission Board (NAMB) will bring

a report from NAMB on Wednesday morning and will give the message that evening. Ezell is leading NAMB to a strategy revolv-ing around “church planting

that is focused on penetrating lostness in North America.” Before coming to the board, Ezell pastored Highview Baptist Church in Lousiville, Kentucky, which grew to six campuses in two states and three counties.

Pastors will have the opportunity to hear from Ezell at a luncheon on Wednesday.

Afshin Ziafat, lead pastor at The Providence Church, Frisco, Texas, will share his testimony on Tuesday evening. Ziafat became a Christian out of an Iranian Muslim background and his family disowned him. For the last ten years he has trav-elled the world speaking in camps, conferences, schools, and churches, reach-ing out to the next generation and training leaders to reach them. In addition to pastoring, Afshin also speaks weekly to thousand of university students at the Vertical Bible Study at Baylor University.

Student workers will have the opportunity to hear from Ziafat at a luncheon on Wednesday.

CNBC Annual Convention Report, July 2011

Canadian National Baptist Convention 2011 Church to Church Covenant

Given that we are a network of churches who give ourselves away to advance the Kingdom of God, we value the importance of being in covenant. We recognize the autonomy of the local

church and will guard the ability of every congregation to have the final decision-making author-ity. We also see the biblical model of inter-dependence and accountability and we will carefully consider Godly counsel from other churches and church leaders. Therefore, being led by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to God and to one another to live out the following:

We as churches covenant together to affirm the CHURCH as God’s primary vehicle to advance His kingdom:

• By committing to share Christ, send missionaries, start and strengthen churches

• By connecting churches in association

• By valuing the contribution of every church as unique and significant

We as churches covenant together to honour the rich HERITAGE God has given us:

• By upholding our commitment to the “CNBC Statement of Faith”

• By being on mission with other CNBC churches

• By partnering with the agencies and churches of the Southern Baptist Conven-tion

We as churches covenant together to practice God’s desire for INTER-DEPENDENCE:

• By realizing we can do more together than alone

• By accepting responsibility for one another

• By giving sacrificially through the Cooperative Program

We as churches covenant together to welcome God’s protection found in ACCOUNTABIL-ITY:

• By initiating dialogue with churches and leaders in times of need

• By welcoming the assistance of our churches and leaders in times of crisis

• By praying together for forgiveness and restoration in times of moral failure or spiritual distress

We as churches covenant together to protect the UNITY of our churches:

• By praying for one another

• By refusing to gossip or compete with one another

• By demonstrating Christ-like loyalty and love to one another

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen” (Ephesians 3:20, 21).

We, the members of _______________________________________ affirm this covenant.

(July 2010)
