CONSTITUTION and BYLAWS

Article I

Name

The name of this Association shall be the Liberty Association of Baptists in Kentucky.

Article II

Purpose

The purpose of Liberty Association of Baptists is to assist in the strengthening and starting of churches (Acts

9:31), so each may fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-20), in order that God alone may be glorified.

The Core Values of this association are as follows:

• Be witnesses for Christ to all people to the ends of the earth.

• Promote the preaching and teaching of God’s Word.

• Uphold the doctrines and principles of our Baptist faith and to encourage the churches to be loyal and to

practice these doctrines and principles.

• Assist the churches in training of all Christians for service.

• Promote sacrificial giving and stewardship devoted to disciple-making, missions, benevolence and

Christian Education.

• Promote Christian fellowship, cooperation and effectiveness among the churches affiliated with this

Association.

• Cooperate with the Kentucky Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention in evangelism,

missions, and church planting.

Article III

The membership of this Association shall consist of all Baptist churches which have accepted and adopted this

constitution and such other Baptist churches as may be received into membership as herein-after provided. Any

Baptist church desiring membership in this Association shall apply therefore by letter setting forth its faith and

practices and declaring its desire and purpose to cooperate fully with this Association in attaining its goals.

Applications shall be referred to the Credentials Committee by the moderator for study and consideration. When an

application has been approved by the committee and a 2/3 majority of duly seated messengers at the second annual

meeting following submission of application, the moderator shall receive the church into membership.

The Association has no authority over any church but stands ready to lend assistance or counsel to any church

making request for such help. However, the Association may judge the propriety of retaining in its fellowship any

church with has become unscriptural in its doctrines or practices and may drop the church from membership by 2/3

majority vote of the messengers present at any annual meeting. Prior to that vote, in order to preserve union and

harmony among the churches composing this Association, the Association is to observe the same rules of discipline

as the membership of an individual church in regard to any grievance among her members. If the Association is

aggrieved with a member church, it is to send the moderator, the director of missions, and the chairman of the

Credentials Committee to inform two or more leaders of the church of the fact and to bring about a reconciliation if

possible and if they shall fail, the Association shall send those people and the Credentials Committee to meet with

the church, and if they fail, then the matter shall be brought before the next meeting of the Association when the

matter will be addressed before entering upon the regular business of the Association. The Credentials Committee

shall give notice to the church in question as to their recommendation to the Association prior to the next annual

meeting.

Every church, in its annual letter, shall give an account of the members baptized, received by letter, dismissed,

excluded, and who have died since the last annual meeting, with its total membership and is expected to furnish this

Association with statistics of its voluntary gifts to the church and missionary work.

Every church belonging to the Association is expected to contribute to the work of this Association, the churches

contributing reserving the right to specify the object of objects which their contributions shall be applied, and when

a church fails for three consecutive annual meetings to correspond with, or contribute to, the work of this

Association, its name shall be dropped from membership in the Association, but prior to taking that step, the

procedure set forth above will be initiated and followed.

Liberty Association of Baptists January 21, 2014 Executive Board Meeting

Minutes

The regular Executive Board meeting of the Liberty Association of Baptists hosted at Rowletts Baptist

Church was called to order by the Moderator Brad Atwell. He then called on host pastor Dwayne Cook to

open the meeting with Scripture and prayer.

Rowletts pastor Dwayne Cook read Matthew 13:44 & spoke of our need to focus on simply sharing the

Gospel and rely on God’s Spirit to empower us instead of merely programs and man’s designs. He

prayed for God’s empowerment and forgiveness as we labor for Him.

Moderator Atwell then called DOM Jordan Woodie to present his DOM report. DOM Woodie thanked

Rowletts for hosting, emphasized value of partnership, and proceeded to share of representing the

Association recently in Paducah at KBC Annual Meeting in November. He also reviewed the recent Acts

1:8 conference held January 12, 2014 at Immanuel Baptist Church and thanked everyone who helped

make it a meaningful and strategic event. He reminded the Board of his Announcement that night of LAB

churches far surpassing the $110,000 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goal with giving then totalling more

than $150,000 yet he wanted to further commend them because since that night, giving reports had

increased the total to more than $170,000. He reminded us of the strategic value this offering has since

every penny of it goes directly to get the Gospel to unreached places & peoples. He reaffirmed LAB’s

commitment to helping our churches take the Gospel to our neighbors here as well as the ends of the

earth in a “both/and” strategy but that the issue of a lack of Gospel access in places where LMCO funds

reach are worthy of our sacrificial giving. While the national LMCO goal increase would allow for 400

additional missionaries to be commissioned, he noted that LAB giving alone puts four families on the

mission field for an entire year.

DOM Woodie then reported on the use of the LAB Disaster Relief Laundry Unit. He noted it was

requested at all five 2014 KBC DR Trainings, the first of which was recently held in Hopkinsville. LAB

members will also utilize the DR unit on WKU’s campus April 10 in conjunction with their campus BCM as

well as in June with Carpenters for Christ on a church rebuild project in West Hickmen.

Lastly, DOM Woodie presented this year’s upcoming Associational Missions Emphasis and made a

motion that this year’s AME offering be appropriated under the following percentages:

10% to Associational-supported ministry Crossroads Life Center

10% to Associational-supported ministry Glasgow Christian Academy

20% to Associational-supported ministry Camp Joy

60% to Associational missions camp LoveLoud

Admin Team leader Ricky Martin seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.

Moderator Atwell then called Administration Team leader Ricky Martin to make his team report. Team

leader Martin then began his report with making a motion from the Administration Team as follows:

“that the Association’s Annual Meeting be condensed from a two-day

meeting to a one-day meeting format. With this new plan, the Association

would ask one of our larger member churches to host the meeting each

year. The remaining churches would be free for Executive Board Meetings

throughout the year. Upon passage, the Administration Team would begin

work to attune this format to the needs of the Association. The Annual

Meeting would utilize this new format in 2014.”

The motion was seconded by Bro. Barry Harlow. Team leader Martin began discussion by noting the

simplification of the Annual Meeting format had been discussed for years and now, in line with the overall

stream-lining and increase in efficiency of the Association as a whole, this was a needed continuation of

focusing our efforts on our purpose.

Dr. Bill Whittaker questioned Team leader Martin on the motion’s definition of “large” and commented on

the encouragement it was to our smaller churches to see crowds again. He asked if it were not the case

that we are invited to these churches and that any church feeling unable to host could feel free to make

that known.

Asst. Clerk Larissa Woodie commented that, while she appreciated the spirit of Dr. Whittaker’s comment,

in her experience, it was a particular burden for smaller church facilities to host the portion of our

meetings which include meals with hundreds of people in attendance and that the team’s motion was not,

in any way, meant to exclude churches from hosting but rather tailor the hosting situation to their facility’s

capacity.

Bob Burdette discussed the issue that Annual Meeting crowds cause smaller-facility churches to exceed

their fire marshall codes and that he knew this had been the case before at Salem.

Bro. Barry Harlow commented on the burden of some of our smaller churches hosting.

Dr. Bill Whittaker then moved to amend the motion by striking “larger member”. The motion to amend

was seconded by Bro. David Purichia and passed.

Bro. Kevin Denton asked if there had been a particular day discussed to hold the meeting to which Team

Leader Martin replied no as of yet. Bro Bobby Wood asked if there would be more discussion later on the

new format and Moderator Atwell said discussion on details of new format would wait until after/if motion

passed.

Bro. Randy Shaw spoke in support of the motion, encouraging EB members to let the Admin Team do

their work as representatives of all our different kinds of churches.

Moderator Atwell called for a vote and the motion passed unanimously.

Seeing as there was no other Team or Standing Committee report, Moderator Atwell then brought the

motion previously tabled back on the floor concerning the Parsonage Funds Task Force recommendation.

Bro. Ray Woodie moved to amend “to retain the funding to the Missions/Evangelism, Church

Strengthening, and the Leadership Development Teams per the recommendation of the Task Force and

that the balance of funding ($36,000) be divided among the Pages (serving in Asia) and the Esteses

(serving in Mexico). Bro. Erdie Carter seconded the motion to amend.

Bro. Woodie began discussion by thanking the Task Force for their work. He understood why the

recommendation had been previously tabled and in part thought that it was due to the redundancy the

recommendation contained by allotting more money to our LAB churches when the majority of the money

was already being allotted to LAB teams who would then use it to directly support the LAB churches

and/or distribute it to the churches for their own projects. While he acknowledged that Task Force Leader

Bro. Bobby Wood had previously clarified that the originally proposed $1,000/LAB church would be used

for local missions only, Bro. Woodie urged the body to consider the $42,000 already being kept here for

local work. He encouraged our potential expression of our Acts 1:8 strategy by showing confidence in

non-IMB/LMCO-supported LAB missionaries. He also stated the advantage to using the money to

address urgent needs rather than tying it up for years as we wait on churches to take advantage of it.

Bro. Purichia asked for clarification concerning whether these missionaries had a major shortfall this

money would potentially help address and if they were already in the LAB budget.

DOM Woodie confirmed they are not in the LAB budget and Moderator Atwell stated that some LAB

churches supported them from their autonomous budgets.

Moderator Atwell then welcomed representatives of these missionaries to come share a bit more about

their work. First Bill Smith and Gary Huddleston from Immanuel Baptist Church (home church of the

Esteses) thanked the body. Bill Smith shared a history of cooperation between Horse Cave Baptist and

Immanuel Baptist when UTRI, the organization to which the Esteses previously belonged, began hosting

LAB teams to work in Reynosa, Mexico. Since then, LAB pastors & teams have trained pastors there,

sent summer interns, helped plant churches, and work to support an orphanage and cancer care center.

Gary Huddleston added that Mexican pastor Jonathan Guerrera has been helped by LAB teams who built

a building for his new church plant which in close proximity to more than 10,000 people. Currently, the

church growth is requiring an additional educational space.

Bro. Purichia asked the representatives if they were aware of a particular shortfall. Gary Huddleston said

there is still a financial need for 2014 as well as funds needed for the growing church.

Bro. Harlow asked if the funds would go directly to Esteses or to some other work there. Moderator

Atwell confirmed they would go directly to Esteses for their ministry use and disbursal.

Bill Smith explained that 2 years ago, UTRI went a different ministerial direction and the Esteses ended

their work with UTRI and began Project Fortify in order to continue the evangelistic efforts they had begun

with the orphanage, cancer center, and church plant.

Bro. Harlow asked if they received any SBC/KBC funding. Moderator Atwell confirmed they did not. Bro.

Harlow asked why not to which Bill Smith explained that at the time the Esteses were called, the SBC

was shrinking its missionary force and therefore the Esteses decided to go with another organization

instead of applying for IMB status.

Bro. Harlow asked if the Esteses would be faced with needing to leave the mission field if this funding is

not allotted for them. Bill Smith responded that God has provided and will continue to do so but that LAB

simply has a chance to invest and be a part of these fruitful missionary partnerships.

Moderator Atwell then welcomed Bro. Randy Shaw to share about the Pages ministry. Bro. Shaw

thanked the five churches who, along with Calvary Baptist, already support the Pages on a monthly basis

including Pleasant Valley, Siloam, Park City, Rowletts, Edmonton Worship Center along with Kim Page’s

father’s church. He commended DOM Woodie for helping establish this network of partnership without

which they could not have gone and answered God’s call. He gave information about their field or work

and the people they serve and how LAB and Calvary had sent teams to partner with them. He relayed

his experience of sharing the Gospel with a young Ch**e girl and her family. The young girl is now a

Christian, surrendering herself to a call to missions, considering whatever place the government tells her

to attend college as her mission field. She has already extended an invitation to us to join her there in

sharing the Gospel. He shared that currently, the Pages are not fully funded in their monthly support but

rather live & minister on 74% of their needed amount. Therefore, they have adopted a very meager

lifestyle with insufficient heat in their home, meager food and other basic necessities. He shared the

Pages did not pursue IMB status due to having high-school aged children which the IMB does not allow.

Bro. Shaw shared the additional funds could go to establishing their full support for the next year, noting

that the potential $18,000 to be given would result in $1,500/month, exactly what the Pages currently

lack. He mentioned they also need a vehicle and how the lack of a sufficient personal vehicle makes

ministry difficult as well as emergency health situations a tremendous concern.

Dr. Whittaker responded by asking what they would do a year from now.

Bro. Shaw suggested they would be more than willing to return to their current meager measures to make

ends meet.

Bro. Woodie shared how our action would potentially communicate a lot to any LAB church or member

that may be called that we are in this together.

Bro. Bobby Wood said EWC supports the Pages and wasn’t aware of any shortfall which his church might

help meet. He discussed the potential redundancy of LAB giving these funds to missionaries they already

support.

Bro. Timmy Garrett affirmed that the Task Force heard a lot of suggestions and worked hard. He said he

learned more about the Pages and Estes tonight than previously known and he will personally advocate

in Poplar Springs for them. He asked to hear from a smaller church represented that may not have

funding without LAB.

Bro. Harlow ask if the funds would go directly to Pages.

Bro. Shaw replied they would be sent directly to Pages in whatever way LAB chooses (monthly, all at

once, etc.).

Bro. Denton asked if the Pages went with Pioneers International as their sending agency.

Bro. Shaw confirmed and said IMB was a strategic partner in them going with Pioneers as well as with

logistics on the field.

Bro. Denton affirmed this cooperation between the IMB and Pioneers gave legitimacy to Pioneers as an

organization.

Bro. Harlow asked if Pioneers supported financially as IMB does.

Bro. Shaw responded that Pioneers supported logistically (as they did when Kim and son out for medical

care) but that Pioneers missionaries are responsible for raising their own funding.

Admin Team Leader Martin said Pioneers is their venue to establish their ministry.

Bro. Harlow addressed Bro. Garrett’s previous question with his concern that if the parsonage funds are

completely removed, LAB itself may have a shortfall. He questioned why we would be giving LAB

churches money then asking them to give money to the Association. He said $1000 is not enough

motivation and affirmed that churches can come to LAB Missions/Evangelism team for funding of their

projects. He said, however, that after discussing with Browders Chapel, he would vote against the

amendment and recommendation since the money is too much when LAB may not be able to operate.

He reminded the body that if passed, further changes to allotments would not be allowed.

Bro. Matthew Bone asked for clarification that if they are not asking, would LAB just be gifting the money

addressing needs but not direct requests for funding.

Bro. Terrill Thomas added that $1000 would indeed help to meet needs of LAB churches in their missions

endeavors.

Bro. Junior Wright said that as a small church pastor and Task Force member, he was glad to have

learned much tonight about Pages & Esteses. He sees very little emphasis on the “Jerusalem” part of our

Acts 1:8 strategy and that there are many churches which give to LAB with nothing in return.

Bro. Woodie stated we already are emphasizing “Jerusalem” with the first $42,000 that we are

appropriating the lion’s share to local missions.

Bro. Stoney McKinney said that he could see both sides but you start at home. He reminded us of DOM

Woodie’s statistics concerning our three counties and that we must take care of home first. He said while

bigger churches may be called to the ends of the earth, smaller churches might be called to right here.

He admonished the body to do what God wants us to do right here at home.

Bro. Erdie Carter said that going to our neighbors was an obedience issue, not a monetary one. He

commended the Pages for their sacrificial service. He then called the question.

Moderator Atwell advised the body that the question had been called and asked for a second.

(indistinguishable) - Seconded the calling of the question.

Moderator Atwell reviewed the amendment on the floor and called for a vote by show of hands. There

were 23 in favor and 17 against.

With the amendment passage, Moderator Atwell then called the body’s attention back to the

recommendation with the newly-passed amendment and reviewed the packet with the LAB team criteria

per the previous motion by Dr Bill Whittaker.

Discussion began with Dr. Whittaker asking if the monies are given to the missionaries now, he would like

to see their budgets and recommend it be given over 2 years.

Bro. Matthew Bone then asked what kind of financial safety net does LAB have.

Treasurer AJ Wilson referred to the Treasurer’s Report referencing a BB&T CD with approximately

$8,000 immediately available for emergency fund purposes.

(indistinguishable) - Called the question

Bro. Erdie Carter seconded the calling of the question.

Moderator Atwell called for members to vote on the calling of the question and it passed.

Moderator Atwell then began the voting on the Task Force Recommendation as amended by show of

hands with 28 in favor and 13 against.

Bro. Purichia called a point of order to ask if a simple majority was needed for amendments.

Both Parliamentarian Jay Coleman and former Treasurer Jesse Brown confirmed that 2/3 majority was

needed on amendments to Constitution and Bylaws but on regular business, a simple majority was

sufficient.

Moderator Atwell called for any other new business.

Treasurer AJ Wilson then took the floor to move to redeem the Future Missions CD upon maturity and

give to the Missions/Evangelism team, rolling it into regular fund.

Bob Burdette seconded the motion.

Bro. Purichia asked if this would eliminate the CD’s altogether, questioning why we as a body ever had

CDs.

Treasurer Wilson answered yes, this would eliminate the CD in question and make monies unrestricted

and available for LAB use.

Bob Burdette asked what the CDs were earning.

Treasurer Wilson responded very little.

Bro. Harlow asked if the Trust Fund CD could also be transferred into the general fund.

Treasurer Wilson responded that it could not.

Bro. Purichia asked why LAB has a CD.

Moderator Atwell called on Parliamentarian Coleman to respond. Parl. Coleman responded that LAB

used to have a World Missions Conference which this CD was used to perpetually fund. Since LAB no

longer has that conference, Parl. Coleman suggested the time had come to the funds to be

reappropriated.

Moderator Atwell called the vote and it passed unanimously.

Bro. Purichia moved to dissolve the other Trust CD at maturity and put it also into the general fund.

Parliamentarian Coleman as a point of clarification said the Trust CD was given to LAB as a trust so it

would be wrong to remove the principal.

Bro. Purichia rescinded the motion and moved instead to remove interest on the Trust CD into LAB

general fund ($8,498.28).

Bro. Ray Woodie seconded the motion.

Dr. Bill Whittaker moved to amend the motion to send the principal to KBC trust fund which earns far

better interest and added he would personally send $1,600 to make it $10,000.

Tony Clemmons seconded the motion to amend.

Jesse Brown asked if principal couldn’t ethically be also be moved into another trust fund.

Parl. Coleman responded that it seems like such a move would be in the spirit of how it was given.

Missions/Evangelism Team Leader Ray Woodie moved to refer motion to the Admin Team for further

research.

Moderator Atwell and Parl. Coleman conferenced on the rules and then allowed the body to proceed.

Bro. Robby Perkins seconded the motion.

Seeing as there was no discussion, Moderator Atwell called for a vote, and it then passed unanimously.

Moderator Atwell called for any other new business.

Bro. Barry Harlow asked whether Dr. Whittaker's $1600 pledge was still good and many laughed. Then

Bro. Barry made a motion for the Administration Team to bring back a report of how the $36,000 was

spent by the Pages and Esteses. Dr. Bill Whittaker seconded. Motion passed.

Moderator Atwell then called for any other new business. Seeing as there was none, he then called for

announcements.

DOM Woodie reminded the Board about the following upcoming events:

Commonwealth Policy Center forum on Church Constitution and Bylaws review--

Jan 30, Immanuel Baptist Church

Pastor Visioning Night

February 18, Glasgow Baptist Church

Disaster Relief driver needed--If you or anyone in your church might be able to pull the DR trailer,

please let DOM Woodie know.

Bro. Harlow made a motion to strike the provision that Executive Board minutes be printed in the Liberty

Lights and that, instead, they be emailed to Executive Board members.

Robert Morgan seconded.

Moderator Atwell called for a vote and the motion passed.

Moderator Atwell then asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Bro. Purichia so moved and Elroy

Larimore seconded. The motion carried.

Moderator Atwell prayed and dismissed the Executive Board at 9:21pm CST on January 21, 2014.

Respectfully Submitted,

Larissa Woodie, Assistant Clerk

Liberty Association of Baptists

Executive Board Meeting April 15th, 2014 Minutes The Executive Board of Liberty Association of Baptist met at Cave Spring Baptist Church on April 15th, 2014 beginning at 7:00 PM for their regular quarterly meeting. Call to Order: Moderator Brad Atwell called the meeting to order. Welcome, Scripture, and Prayer: Brother Allen Wilson, the pastor of Cave Spring Baptist Church welcomed those in attendance. He then read from Acts 10:34-43 followed by prayer. Minutes of the Previous Meeting: Clerk Terri Webb presented the minutes of the January 21st, 2014 meeting in written form. She asked that a correction be allowed to the minutes in paragraph 5. The first line of that paragraph should indicate that a member of the board made the motion, not the DOM. Brother Randy Scott made a motion to accept the minutes as printed along with the correction. Brother David McCubbins seconded the motion. Motion carried. Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer A.J. Wilson presented the treasurer’s report. A motion was made by Brother Randy Scott and seconded by Brother Ricky Martin to accept the treasurer’s report. Motion carried.

REPORTS

Administrative Team: Brother Ricky Martin reported that the Estes Family with Project Fortify has been contacted about the money that the Executive Board voted to give them. They chose to receive the money in monthly payments of $1,500.00. They received their first payment last month. They have earmarked the money for church planting in Reynosa, Mexico. Brother Martin then read an e-mail that he received from the Page family serving in China. The gift they will be receiving from the Liberty Association will make their funding needs complete for one full year. Both Project Fortify and the Page family expressed how thankful they are for the support of the Liberty Association. He also reported that the Administrative Team has been working on plans for the Annual Meeting that is scheduled for September. The decision has been made to hold the annual meeting on one day rather than two as in the past. It will be held on Wednesday, September 24th. Southern Kentucky Hispanic Ministry: Brother Kevin Denton gave a report concerning the SKHM. SKHM is a partnership with NAMB, KBC, and participating Baptist Associations. NAMB provided an appointed missionary, health insurance and salary support. KBC also provided salary ply ministry support. Our association provided salary support plus ministry support. NAMB has recently cut back on what they were paying on health insurance and salary support. KBC has picked up the short fall in the past but can no longer continue at this level. Four of Kentucky’s six ethnic missionaries have either left their position or are retiring and will not be replaced by NAMB. Our missionary, Heriberto Torres, was one of the two remaining. To save ethnic work in Kentucky the KBC has called the two last missionaries to become KBC employees where they will be covering the entire state of Kentucky. Heriberto Torres has accepted and therefore has resigned from the SKHM. However, he will still be the ethnic missionary in our area and will continue to live in Barren County.

At this time there is no need for SKHM. The representatives for KSHM will meet April 23rd to determine how to dissolve the ministry. Brother Denton thanked the board members for all of the support that the association has given the SKHM. Treasurer Wilson is to hold the SKHM funds until more decisions are made concerning how the ministry will be dissolved. Director of Missions: Brother Jordan Woodie began his report by talking about the application process for the assistance from the Liberty Association Teams. He explained that assistance is for churches in the association and the money will not be utilized unless requested. He had copies of the application available. He reported that Brother Robbie Ward was wrapping up the winter seminary extension classes. A second class did not have enough participants. The third class has been a Spanish speaking class with Heriberto Torres. The eight students have studied Intro to the Old Testament, Intro to the New Testament and tonight are beginning a class on Baptist Doctrine. Brother Woodie also reported that the church strengthening team held a VBS clinic in March at Southside Baptist Church. They are also working closely with the Commonwealth Policy Center concerning cultural trends and church legal issues related to cultural trends. The LAB has also partnered with Lifeway concerning VBS material. If churches wish to order through the association then they will not have to pay any shipping and handling cost. The LAB will receive 15% commission on the VBS order. He reported that the Mobile Laundry Unit Team has been doing statewide training. They recently went to the campuses of Campbellsville University and WKU where they did free laundry for the students and gave students free bibles and had Gospel center conversations with them. The unit will be going with the Rebuild Team to West Hickman June 5-11 to help Carpenter for Christ to rebuild a church that recently burned. May 18-25 will be Associational Missions Emphasis. The offering will be divided 4 ways: 60% for cost of LoveLoud, 20% for Camp Joy, 10% for Glasgow Christian Academy, and 10% for Crossroads Pregnancy Center. He encouraged churches to set a church goal. He announced that copies of the Book of Minutes could be found on the table at the back door. He requested prayer for Cedar Grove Baptist Church and Grace Union Baptist Church. Both of these churches are in revival this week.. Brother Woodie thanked the association for allowing him to serve. Brother Brad Atwell then thanked Brother Woodie for the work that he does for the association.

MISCELLANEOUS/OLD/NEW BUSINESS Brother Atwell ask if anyone else had any reports or new business. Clerk Terri Webb announced that she was still working on trying to get correct addresses on everyone and if there were any problems with people not receiving their postcards please let her know. She will be sending out e-mail copies of the minutes to all the Pastors and asked that they pass them along to their board members. Brother Bill

Whittaker asked if others could also receive the minutes by e-mail. Terri Webb responded that she could if she was supplied with the appropriate e-mail addresses. Brother Bill Whittaker asked if a goal had been set for this year’s Associational Missions Emphasis. Brother Jordan Woodie responded that he personally had not set a goal due. Brother Atwell suggested that each church set it’s own personal goal. Jordan stated that in the most recent issue of Liberty Lights he had encouraged churches to set a goal of $250.00, $500.00, $750.00, or $1000.00 but that a collective goal had not been set. One member of the board stated that his church gives to the organizations listed and was concerned if they should continue to give directly to the organizations or send all monies through the AME offering. Brother Brad Atwell replied that it was a decision that each church needed to make. Brother Jesse Brown stated that he thought that the Associational offering would have to be at least $12,000.00 for each of the listed groups to receive what they have been receiving in the past from the association. Brother J. Woodie encouraged each church to evaluate where their money was going in terms of missions so that each church can prioritize and invest where they feel their priorities lie. Brother Bob Burdette requested a 2-minute breakdown of how the Co-Operative Program worked. Jordan responded with an overview of how the program works. Brother Ricky Martin explained that Crossroads, GCA, and Camp Joy had been line item donations in the budget in the past but were no longer listed as line items in the budget; therefore they would only receive money from the association through the offering. Brother Bill Whittaker added that having worked for an organization that depended on funds from the Co-operative Program as well as churches and individuals, he understood the importance of churches and individuals continuing to give separate from the Co-operative Program and encouraged them to continue to give individually. Announcements: *LoveLoud Early Bird Registration Deadline April 21st *Grace Union Revival This Week *Cedar Grove Revival This Week *VBS Orders through the Association (no later than May 1st) *Associational Missions Emphasis May 18-25 *Camp Joy Open House – June 7th *Servicing West Hickman rebuild with laundry Unit (June 5-11) *Next Board Meeting – July 15th at Lonoke Requests/Prayers: Brother Timmy Garrett announced the resignation of Omar Barbour from the Executive Board. He explained that Brother Barbour has cancer and is in great need of prayer. Brother Omar has served LAB faithfully for many years. Prayer was also requested for the Ward family (death of Ronnie Ward), Joann Reynolds (cancer), father of Randy Scott, and Jake Quenzer. Adjourn: Motion to adjourn was made by Brother Ricky Martin. Second by Walter Davis. Motion passed. Meeting was adjourned with prayer at the alter.

Respectfully Submitted, Terri Webb, Clerk, Liberty Association of Baptists

Call to Order: Moderator Brad Atwell called the meeting to order. Welcome, Scripture, and Prayer: Brother Chuck Templeman, the pastor of Lonoke Baptist Church welcomed those in attendance. He led the group in singing “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.” Brother Templeman then shared a scripture and lead in prayer. Minutes of the Previous Meeting: Clerk Terri Webb presented the minutes of the April 15th, 2014 meeting in written form. She moved that they be approved as written. Bob Burdette seconded the motion. Motion carried. Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer A.J. Wilson presented the treasurer’s report as a motion asking that it be approved as presented. Brother Randy Scott gave a second. Motion carried.

Brother Brad Atwell stated that he recalled that the issue had been deferred to the Administrative Team.

REPORTS SKHM: DOM Jordan Woodie reported for Brother Kevin Denton regarding the SKHM. The SKHM board met on April 23rd and voted to dissolve. Assets of the board were disbursed to contributing associations according to the percentage of contribution from each one. The Liberty Association received their money in July and it will be reported on the next Treasurer’s report. The money will remain in the SKHM fund until it can be determined what to do with the money. The SKHM hosted a “going away” dinner for Brother Torres who has served our area with the SKHM of the past 6 years. Brother Torres will continue to serve our area as a representative of the KBC. Brother Woodie reminded the board members that they needed to relay to their churches that all contributions to the SKHM should be stopped at this time. Director of Missions: Brother Jordan Woodie reported that the church strengthening team was working with the KBC to help host the EQUIP Conference that will be held at Glasgow Baptist Church on Tuesday, September 30th from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM. Brother Jordan Woodie reported that John German had been serving the Liberty Association in the associational office as a summer intern for the past 2 months. He reported that the Mobile Laundry Unit had been used during the rebuilding of a church that burned in West Hickman, Kentucky. The unit was used to wash 260 loads of laundry over a period of 4 days. He reported that Jeff Crabtree, the Regional Pastoral Consultant with the KBC has been working with five Liberty Association pastors conducting a pilot project called Pastor’s Toolbox. The pastors include Brother Gary Cruse of Siloam, Brother Tim McClellan of Zion, Brother James Wright with Antioch, Brother Allen Wilson with Cave Spring and Brother Michael Hoy with New Liberty along with Brother Jordan Woodie. They are discussing issues surrounding church revitalization and church strengthening. They will continue to meet until August. He reported that Love Loud was conducted for three days in June. 140 volunteers participated in the 21 service projects in Metcalfe, Hart and Barren counties. 5 people came to faith in Christ and 6 students announced their call to missions/ministry. Brother Woodie concluded his report by thanking the board for allowing him and his family to serve. Brother Brad Atwell thanked Brother Woodie for all of his hard work. Administration Team: Brother Ricky Martin reported that the Annual Meeting would be held on Wednesday, September 24th at Horse Cave Baptist Church and that a skeleton of a format is ready to be sent to the Program Committee. He announced that the Administration Team was in discussions about the dissolving of the Time, Place, and Preacher Committee due to the fact that with the one-day format for the Annual Meeting we no longer needed to look for 3 preachers to speak at the Annual Meeting. The Administration Team will be working with the Moderator and the Nominating Committee concerning this matter.

Missions/Evangelism Team: Brother David Purichia reminded members that scholarships were available for churches through the Evangelism team and that very few have been taken advantage of at this time. He presented a proposal concerning the development of a Block Party Trailer. A trailer has been given to the Association as well as a popcorn machine. The cost to the Association would be $3500.00 to stock the trailer. Churches could rent the trailer for a restocking fee of $100.00. The church must show proof of liability insurance. The guidelines for use would ‘mirror’ the guideline of the Warren Association as well as their application process. Southside Baptist Church will manage the scheduling and the housing of the unit. The motion comes from eh Evangelism team and needs no second. Motion carried. Leadership Development Team: Brother Robbie Ward reported that a Seminary Extension Class was held from January until April. The name of the class was “Understanding the Bible”. The class enrolled 18 students representing 9 churches. Brother Torres taught the same class in Spanish to 8 students. The next class will begin in January 2015 and will be on the book of Revelations. The cost of the class should be between $160.00 and $180.00. He reminded everyone that scholarships are available. He also reported that the committee is considering plans to hold a Pastors Banquet in October.

MISCELLANEOUS/OLD/NEW BUSINESS
