Timothy Project
Timothy Project Feb. 2. 2026

The Timothy Project is officially underway! This ministry is designed for students who sense a call to vocational ministry, and we are excited to see how God is already at work in their lives. This week, Pastor Mike Shillinglaw joined us as a guest speaker, faithfully pouring into these outstanding students and encouraging them in their calling. There is a genuine excitement as they grow in their understanding of what it means to be true disciples of Christ. Please join us in praying for these students as they continue seeking the Lord and preparing for the work He may have for them.

Fill The Tank NC
Sunday, April 12, 2026
What if we could see thousands profess Christ through believer’s baptism on a single day? That’s the heartbeat behind the statewide “Fill the Tank” baptism emphasis.
We’re encouraging every N.C. Baptist church to fill their baptism tanks on April 12 – or an upcoming Sunday – and trust God to save people between now and then. Will you sign up to “fill the tank?”

AMOREM Nourishes Our Neighbors Canned Food Drive

In an effort to give back to their community, AMOREM staff joined together for an AMOREM Nourishes Our Neighbors Canned Food Drive in January. The event, coordinated by AMOREM’s wellness committee and dietary services, was inspired by the organization’s mission, vision and values.
Staff were challenged to donate canned foods in a friendly competition between campuses and the collection from each campus was distributed to local food banks. 
AMOREM, formerly Burke Hospice and Palliative Care and Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care, is proud to be your local, nonprofit hospice and palliative care provider with more than 40 years of experience providing the highest quality care possible. AMOREM has local care teams that provide hospice and palliative medicine services wherever a patient calls home, as well as patient care units located in Valdese, Hudson, Lenoir and soon in Boone to serve the needs of patients and families in the community. 
To learn more about AMOREM services or to make a referral, visit www.amoremsupport.org or call 828.754.0101 to speak with a local team member. 
 

Ministry Opportunity: Reach “The One” at Foothills Correctional
Freedom Life Ministries, a Christ-centered reentry program born out of Marion Correctional, has expanded its outreach and services to Foothills Correctional here in Morganton. We are seeking 11 partner churches from the Catawba River Baptist Association to sponsor a monthly night of worship and fellowship.How Your Church Can HelpOnce a month, Freedom Life leads a Sunday night worship service and Bible study for approximately 140 inmates. Your congregation can support this mission by providing a simple snack and drink for the attendees.
The Commitment: Provide 140 snacks (e.g., Honey Buns) and 140 bottled waters.
The Frequency: Your church would cover just one Sunday night per year.
The Impact: You are reminding those who are incarcerated that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten by God or their community.Scriptural FoundationThis mission is rooted in the call to seek the lost and bring hope to the brokenhearted:”The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” — Isaiah 61:1
The Parable of the Lost Sheep: Jesus speaks of leaving the ninety-nine to go after the one who is lost until He finds it. — Luke 15:4
