VBC endorses four candidates for BGAV officers.
Preserving, protecting, and promoting the witness of mainstream Baptists in Virginia.
What is VBC - VIRGINIA BAPTISTS COMMITTED?
Virginia Baptists Committed is a group of clergy and laity who believes the Baptist General Association of Virginia represents an authentic Baptist witness. We work to model Baptist values in Virginia and beyond. We are convinced that a healthy Baptist witness con tributes to the mix of Christian groups in our religiously diverse state, nation, and world. When churches related to the BGAV cooperate, we create a powerful force for good and for God. Our vision for being Baptist in Virginia preserves our worthy heritage and embraces new ways to be faithful followers of Jesus in a new century. Join us to preserve, protect, and promote the witness of mainstream Baptist Christians in Virginia. |
