Evaluating Our Role in Our Church's Mission

Church Family,


Our mission at Wilkesboro Baptist Church is to lead our neighbors and the nations to follow Jesus by worshiping, learning, serving, and replicating. Part of our job as staff and elders is to evaluate how we’re doing on our mission.


Here are some questions to ask yourself. Am I gathering for worship regularly? How is my engagement in congregational worship? Am I listening to God through his Word and prayer daily? Am I sharing what I’m learning in a group (Sunday school, discipleship group, Bible study) regularly? How am I serving others personally? Corporately? Who am I leading to their next step in following Jesus? These and other evaluation questions help us engage our mission responsibilities at WBC.


VBS is just around the corner and is a great way to participate in our mission. We’ll be communicating the gospel to our children throughout the week. Our volunteers and leaders will get a chance to serve and to replicate. Keep praying for WBC in the days ahead as we work through strategic plans and identify areas for growth and transformation.


Grace and Peace,

Pastor Chris

Welcoming Music Minister Candidate
By Chris Hefner April 30, 2025
Church Family, You will receive a letter this week from the Minister of Music Search Committee officially introducing our candidate for Minister of Music. In the coming weeks, you will see a video introduction as well as have the opportunity to meet the candidate. Please continue to pray for WBC during this process of introduction, presentation, and vote. I want to say a special thank you to the Minister of Music Search Committee (Michelle Sullivan, Chair; LuAnn Love; Alisa Anderson; Molly Nichols; Terry Carroll; Larry Gray; Brandon Johnson). We are grateful for the work of Shepherd Staffing as well for providing us candidates and searching on our behalf. And now a brief word for our members/attenders. Spring is always a busy season with the end of school, year end programming for church events, sports, holidays, and preparation for summer events, trips, and schedules. We calendar and plan for what is important to us. Think trips, graduations, vacations, important meetings, etc. Don’t let the busyness of the season or of your life push God off of your calendar. If you share a family calendar, how about putting several things on your calendar for the next couple of months: Sunday AM worship services, Member Meeting May 18 at 5:30 PM. We need the rhythms of worship (see the Sabbath commandment in Exodus 20), rest (Gen. 1; Hebrews 4), and community (Acts 2:42-47). Hope to see you and worship with you this week! Grace and Peace, Pastor Chris
