We believe a scholarship is an investment in the education of a future generation.
As a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), we have seen their mission of “enhancing trust in Christ-centered churches and ministries” ring true time and time again. In fact, we believe financial accountability and stewardship go hand in hand.
Each August, the Arkansas Baptist Foundation (ABF) provides an opportunity for their Board of Directors to learn more about the work and ministry of the agencies and institutions it serves by taking their annual Board Advance to one of their ministry partners’ locations.
. In 2015, we began a “tradition” of hosting an Annual Board Advance each August at one of our Arkansas Baptist entities’ campus or location.
The Board of Directors of the Arkansas Baptist Foundation (ABF) held its first Quarterly Board Meeting for 2022 on Thursday, February 10, 2022, at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) building.
While this time of year is always a season of thankfulness and gatherings of family and/or friends, this year seems uniquely sweet, especially at the Foundation and among Arkansas Baptists.
The ultimate blessing we have seen through this new partnership is hearing and reading of the impact these funds have had on recipients.
After a year of disruption, this summer has provided several reminders of all we have to be thankful for. Most recently as we celebrated our nation’s independence, I could not help but be thankful to serve in a country that still respects personal and religious freedom. Although there are several things I am sure we would all like to change, this is still the best country to serve in a ministry setting.
Among a list of topics discussed, the partnership between WatersEdge, formerly known as the Oklahoma Baptist Foundation, and ABF to offer accounting services to Arkansas Baptist churches and church plants was announced.
This past year was definitely unique and full of challenges; however, there was a record set in 2020 that is certainly worth celebrating. Arkansas Baptists gave over $21 million through the Cooperative Program!
