BGAV – Baptist General Association of Virginia

I have been traveling across the Commonwealth leading Sunday School training events over this past summer. I still don’t know of many churches who are intentionally reaching single moms. Here is just a reminder of how to reach them.

The Bland Ministry Center is a multi-faceted non-profit Christian social ministry founded in 1980 by the East River Baptist Association, which is a small association of only 12 churches. The center is also supported through the Alma Hunt State Missions Offering and contributions from individuals, churches, organizations and businesses, and denominational entities.

Many of us spend much of our time in stagnant or declining situations because we allow “remaining comfortable” to become our core value. Most of us, once we have a system that works for us, don’t want to change anything. Why should we? Our system works, and we are familiar with it. Yet most inventions that changed the world began with someone taking risks to do things that are not comfortable—seeking to discover something new.

Did you know? Because of our partnerships and the labor provided by our volunteers, we are able to multiply the effectiveness of every dollar you give so that every ONE dollar given is equivalent in value to more than TEN dollars!
