Mission Resource Plan "The Mission Resource Plan offers a more creative financial covenant through which all North Carolina Baptists may fund and support cherished partnerships and institutions in keeping with the Baptist Freedoms advanced by John Smyth, Thomas Meredith and Roger Williams in the 1600s. The Plan provides a distribution schedule developed through many hours of prayerful meetings of the leadership of CBFNC and its partners. However, you have the freedom to create your distribution schedule in keeping with your commitments and resources. I encourage everyone in friendly cooperation with CBFNC to seriously consider this Plan as you develop your budget." Roy Smith, Retired Executive Director-Treasurer, Baptist State Convention of North Carolina If you have questions about this plan, please call CBFNC Coordinator, Larry Hovis (888) 822-1944 or New Day Task Force Chair, Paul Baxley (252) 438-3172.

Churches Tax Exempt and Charitable Status

Several churches have expressed a concern as to whether they are a tax exempt organization and whether contributions to their organization are tax deductible by the contributor. A review of United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documents will prove that these concerns are unfounded. Read more.
