South Valley Association Conducts Annual Meeting
by Paul Young
The South Valley Baptist Association held their annual meeting November 3rd at Journey Church in Fargo. Moderator Nick Geray led the meeting of messengers from Living Hope Baptist Church, Journey Church, Northland Church, and Dusty Way Chapel. Treasurer Dude Garret reported on the Association’s finances and messengers approved a new budget for the coming year.
A committee was assembled to lead the effort to replace the Association’s block party trailer, which was stolen this year. While obviously disappointed at the loss of the old trailer, messengers were excited about the prospect of outfitting a new trailer and the future ministry possibilities. Having officially welcomed Mercy Seat Church into the Association last year, it was exciting to hear that there are other North Dakota churches that are exploring the possibility of applying for membership in the future.
Paul Young is pastor of Dakota Baptist Church in Fort Totten, ND and a DBC Church Relations Missionary.
