Let’s Celebrate Timothy Project Resumes with Encouragement and Growth This past Sunday, the Timothy Project joyfully resumed, and we are grateful for all that God is doing through this ministry. We were especially blessed to have Debbie Vance as our guest speaker. Debbie shared her powerful story of following Christ and growing in her walk with Him through prayer and God’s Word. Her testimony was a great encouragement to our students as they continue to discern and follow God’s calling on their lives. We were thrilled to welcome the largest group of teenagers yet to the Timothy Project. These students have sensed God’s call into vocational ministry, and it is humbling to walk alongside them during this important season of discernment and preparation. We are deeply thankful for the churches of the Catawba River Baptist Association, whose faithful support makes this ministry possible. The Timothy Project remains the only ministry of its kind in North Carolina, and we praise God for the vision and partnership that sustain it. If you know a high school student who has surrendered to God’s calling into vocational ministry, please encourage them to contact our office. We would love the opportunity to share more about this exciting ministry and how they can be a part of it. God is truly moving mightily, and we give Him all the glory. Upcoming Opportunities Complete your Church’s Annual Church Profile (ACP) by Jan. 31 for a chance to win a gift!  Why the Annual Church Profile Matters Each year, our churches are asked to complete the Annual Church Profile (ACP). While it may seem like a simple report, it plays an important role in the life and ministry of the Catawba River Baptist Association. The ACP helps tell the story of what God is doing across our 67 churches. Every number represents people reached, disciples made, and lives changed by the gospel. It also enables CRBA to better identify needs, provide training and resources, and strengthen churches for greater gospel impact in our communities. Finally, the ACP offers a helpful moment of reflection for your church—celebrating victories, recognizing challenges, and prayerfully planning for the future. Thank you for taking the time to complete the Annual Church Profile. Please be sure to submit your ACP by January 31, 2026. If you need assistance, we are here to help you. Please call our office at 828-437-0137. Your faithfulness strengthens our association and our shared mission of making much of Jesus.
