Aaron Burgner, board president, reflected on a recent mission trip to Kenya and reminded attendees, “God is always moving and working,” not only in Florida but throughout the world.

Florida Baptist State Convention President Mike Orr greeted the group and stated that he is prayerfully beginning to plan the 2025 Florida Baptist State Convention annual meeting and invited State Board of Missions members to join him in prayer as he selects a theme for the gathering.

Stephen Rummage, executive director-treasurer of the Florida Baptist Convention reported that Florida Baptist churches gave $28,058,383 through the Cooperative Program in 2024. Of that, the convention sent $14,077,603 to the Southern Baptist Convention’s Cooperative Program. The state retained $13,980,780 for missions and ministry efforts in Florida. Additionally, Florida Baptists gave $815,363 in 2024 to the Maguire State Mission Offering. The entire offering is designated to fund church planting initiatives in the state.

Rummage said, “I am thankful and grateful for what God had done in the state of Florida in 2024, financially and otherwise.”

Focusing on 1 Corinthians 9:25, Rummage stated that he is grateful for the heroes of the faith who live every moment of their lives in order “to make an eternal difference.” He encouraged State Board of Missions members to attend at least one stop of the upcoming Continuing Together tour, which begins on Feb. 20 and will include 14 locations in every region of the state. During this tour, Rummage will share his vision for the Florida Baptist Convention.

The Board referred three motions that were presented at the 2024 Florida Baptist State Convention to the appropriate committees for consideration. Two motions presented by Joel Breidenbaugh, messenger from Gospel Centered Church in Apopka, were referred to the Denominational Committee of the State Board of Missions. Breidenbaugh’s motions recommended amending bylaw 2 of the Florida Baptist State Convention, specifically in reference to defining standards for churches to be considered in friendly cooperation with the Florida Baptist Convention. The Board referred one motion presented by Cory Thorpe, messenger from First Baptist Church of Crawfordville, to the Administrative Committee. Thorpe’s motion referenced the digital availability of the Florida Baptist Convention’s annual guidebook. Both committees were instructed to report back at the 2025 annual meeting of the state convention.

Attendees received reports from four Florida Baptist Cooperating Ministries: The Baptist University of Florida, One More Child, Florida Baptist Financial Services and Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center.

The next board meeting will be April 24-25 in Jacksonville.

ORLANDO— Clayton Cloer, president of the Baptist University of Florida, addressed the 2024 annual gathering of Florida Baptists with a call for unity and holiness within the church in a message titled “The Mindset of a Holy People,” based on 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.

Reflecting on the current state of Christian fellowship, Cloer expressed concern over the division, distrust and meanspirited discourse that has taken hold among many in the faith community. He lamented that while previous generations of church leaders fought to preserve biblical doctrine and cultivate fellowship around truth, the current generation has allowed division and deconstruction to fracture that unity.

Cloer spoke of a “burdened heart” for holiness, urging listeners to resist the tendency toward conflict that, when unchecked, leads to broken partnerships and divided churches. Quoting from Paul’s letters, he warned that the desire to hold firm in orthodoxy can sometimes spiral into envy-filled disputes and harmful rhetoric, resulting in casualties among believers and weakened fellowship. Cloer cautioned that even the church’s “immune system,” designed to keep it healthy, can turn against itself when over-stimulated, creating hostility instead of healing.

He outlined three principles for adopting a mindset of holiness within the church.

First, believers must have awareness of identity. Cloer emphasized that believers are the “temple of God” and that God’s Spirit resides in each member. As Paul reminded the Corinthians, believers are divinely united, and even the most challenging individuals within the church bear God’s name. This perspective, Cloer argued, should compel believers to uphold each other and honor their shared identity in Christ.

“Beware of your tendency,” he said. Cloer pointed to the destructive process of “deconstructing the fellowship of people for whom Christ died” as a grave misstep. He stressed that God will not stand idly by while believers tear down one another. Cloer urged the congregation to approach communion and fellowship with sobriety and reverence, prioritizing mutual respect and waiting on each other, as the Lord’s Supper is a proclamation of Christ and a moment of unity, not division.

“Care for unity,” said Cloer, highlighting that “God’s temple is holy.” He urged believers to protect the unity within the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit, he said, resides within all believers, calling them to work together, edify one another and foster connection. Disunity, he warned, not only disrupts worship but also grieves the Spirit and mars the image of the church. The Spirit, he noted, drives believers toward unity and is quenched when divisions take precedence.

GRACEVILLE – Thomas A. Kinchen, president emeritus of the Baptist University of Florida (formerly Baptist College of Florida), died Thursday, Jan. 11, of pancreatic cancer. He retired from the school in December 2022 after 32 years as its president.

His tenure was the longest of any person serving as president of the same Southern Baptist institution of higher education.

Founded in 1943, BUF trains and develops Christian leaders for the church and marketplace through offering 19 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The college is a cooperating ministry of the Florida Baptist State Convention, and it operates campuses in Graceville, Central Florida and Miami.

In 1990 when Kinchen was called to lead the college, “He inherited an organization experiencing declining enrollment and with the mandate that if things did not change, the college would likely close within 18 months,” according to a resolution adopted by messengers to the 2022 Florida Baptist State Convention annual meeting in Pensacola.

“When I arrived, I thought that the first two words in the name of the school were ‘Poor Old,’” Kinchen recalled.

“When I bragged about what was going on, I was cautioned not to brag on a poor little school in a tiny town in rural Florida. What folks did not recognize was that I was bragging on a mighty God in heaven who had initiated and supported this unique school.

“I have sought to face the challenges by never letting the school be defined by what we are not, but by what we are.”

The school did not close; instead, it grew tremendously over the decades of Kinchen’s leadership.

“BUF is asking our faithful Lord to provide love, comfort, and support for the Kinchen family,” the school posted on social media. “Please join in praying and supporting the Kinchen family. We grieve Dr. Kinchen’s passing but rejoice in our great hope of eternal life for him through the Lord Jesus.”

Tommy Green, Florida Baptist Convention executive director-treasure posted: “Dr. Kinchen was a friend to Florida Baptists, and his impact and influence in Christ continue across Florida and to the nations!”

Survivors include his wife, Ruth Ann; two children, Alexander (Gretchen) Kinchen, church planter in Lexington, Kentucky, and Lisa Ann Kinchen, former adjunct professor of music at BUF; and six grandchildren.

Visitation will be Sunday, Jan. 21, from 2 until 5 p.m. CST, at Damascus Baptist Church in Graceville, where Kinchen was a member, Sunday school teacher and deacon.

Celebration of life service will be Monday, Jan. 22, at 1 p.m. CST, also at Damascus.

The family asks that any monetary donations be given to Damascus Baptist Church in memory of Kinchen for the construction of a family life center, 5083 Hwy. 77, Graceville, FL 32440.

CLEARWATER– The Baptist College of Florida recently has announced a partnership with Calvary Church in Clearwater to launch a new extension campus slated to open in August 2024.

Named Calvary College, the campus will strive “to change the world through the unchanging word by providing excellent, Christ-centered higher education to our students,” said David Rice, director of operations for the extension campus.

Such a partnership furthers the mission of The Baptist College of Florida, led by its seventh president Clayton Cloer.

Convinced that “college students need to be educated with a Christian worldview in order to stand for Christ in our communities, churches and the world,” Cloer believes that Florida Baptists have a responsibility and opportunity to educate and shepherd students.

In a recent interview, Cloer said that he is looking forward to “partnering with Florida Baptist churches to train the next generation of pastors, missionaries and Christian leaders. A school has great sending power when partnerships are harnessed and resources are leveraged to the end that the nations be reached.”

At Calvary College’s launch, students will experience an in-person learning environment with options to take online courses through the school’s main campus in Graceville.

“The ‘pioneer class’ of Calvary College is prepared to receive 150 students as new enrollees in August 2024,” said Rice. “Moving forward we have the resources to accommodate whatever increase God chooses to trust with us.”

In addition to receiving a distinctively Baptist education, “Calvary College students will be invited to participate fully in the life of Calvary. … Students will have access to our Florida Baptist ministry partnerships around our region, state and world,” said Rice.

“Opportunities for preaching and teaching, worship and production, generational ministries, missions, education and even business and psychology will be made available to all Calvary College students as a part of their collegiate experience.”

Calvary Church “comes to this partnership with an open heart,” Rice said. With a churchwide emphasis on “building relationships to bring people to dynamic life in Christ,” the church is excited to “participate in Jesus building His kingdom by raising up His champions for generations to come until His return.”

The church has recently purchased a 30,000-square-foot facility adjacent to its main campus for Calvary College to serve the needs and expansion of training and equipping the next generation through education.

“Florida Baptists are very blessed,” said Rice. “God has given us so much in people, land, buildings and other resources. Let’s bring everything we’ve got to the table in order to magnify the glory of Jesus. … Let’s work until the glory of Jesus covers our state.”

“Florida Baptists need and deserve a great, distinctively Baptist university. The system that Dr. Cloer is building is going to serve Florida Baptists well while creating a new paradigm for higher education among our people.”

The Miami campus will offer classes in English, Spanish and French to effectively meet the needs of pastors ministering in the multicultural and multilingual South Florida context.

The new campus launch is part of newly elected college president Clayton Cloer’s vision for BCF. His vision over the next five years is to have BCF’s full program of study, currently offered at the main campus in Graceville, also available at the South Florida campus. That includes offering music, worship, education and psychology degrees at the Miami campus.

“We want to make it so that any and every Florida Baptist who wants a higher education will have it available to them,” Cloer told a group of South Florida pastors when he originally presented his plan to open a BCF campus in Miami. His plan to make this happen involves forming dual-enrollment partnerships with Christian high schools, developing a program in which all classes are available online, and launching sites across the state.

When classes begin on August 14, the Miami fall semester course schedule will include general education, biblical and theological foundation, and theology classes. Some classes will be taught in person by local professors while others will be connection classes taught by professors in Graceville and broadcast to students in Miami.

The group of local professors include pastor Javier Sotolongo of Iglesia Bautista Estrella de Belen, pastor Jose Saint Hilaire of Eglise de la Grande Commission, pastor Seneque Saintil of Emmaus Haitian, and pastor Evens Jules of Bethel Evangelical Baptist Church of Delray Beach.

The number of students enrolled is not yet available as applications are still being accepted, said registrar Stephanie Orr.

Keeping in step with the school’s chapel tradition, the Miami campus will also observe chapel service every Monday and Tuesday, 10:30 – 11:20 a.m. Services are broadcast on Facebook Live and through the college radio station, WFBU – 94.7. Chapel services are led by faculty members, local pastors or other invited guests of the BCF president.

A complete list of courses to be offered at the Miami campus can be found here. For applications visit baptistcollege.edu/apply. For a list of scholarships and financial aid forms visit baptistcollege.edu/financial-aid-forms.

El campus de Miami ofrecerá clases en inglés, español y francés para satisfacer de manera efectiva las necesidades de los pastores que ministran en el contexto multicultural y multilingüe del sur de la Florida.

El lanzamiento del nuevo campus es parte de la visión del recién elegido presidente de la universidad, Clayton Cloer, para BCF. Su visión para los próximos cinco años es tener el programa de estudio completo de BCF, que actualmente se ofrece en el campus principal en Graceville, también disponible en el campus del sur de la Florida. Eso incluye ofrecer títulos en música, adoración, educación y psicología en el campus de Miami.

“Queremos lograr que todos y cada uno de los bautistas de Florida que quieran una educación superior la tengan disponible”, dijo Cloer a un grupo de pastores del sur de Florida cuando presentó originalmente su plan para abrir un campus de BCF en Miami. Su plan para que esto suceda consiste en formar asociaciones de inscripción dual con escuelas secundarias cristianas, desarrollar un programa en el que todas las clases estén disponibles en línea y lanzar sitios en todo el estado.

Cuando las clases comiencen el 14 de agosto, el programa de cursos del semestre de otoño de Miami incluirá clases de educación general, fundamentos bíblicos y teológicos y teología. Algunas clases serán impartidas en persona por profesores locales, mientras que otras serán clases de conexión impartidas por profesores en Graceville y transmitidas a estudiantes en Miami.

El grupo de profesores locales incluye al pastor Javier Sotolongo de la Iglesia Bautista Estrella de Belén, el pastor José Saint Hilaire de la Eglise de la Grande Comisión, el pastor Seneque Saintil de Emmaus Haitian y el pastor Evens Jules Bethel Evangelical Baptist Church of Delray Beach.

El número de estudiantes inscritos aún no está disponible ya que aún se aceptan solicitudes, dijo la registradora Stephanie Orr.

Siguiendo el paso con la tradición de la capilla de la escuela, el campus de Miami también observará el servicio de capilla todos los lunes y martes, de 10:30 a. m. a 11:20 a. m. Los servicios se transmiten en Facebook Live y a través de la estación de radio de la universidad, WFBU – 94.7. Los servicios de la capilla son dirigidos por miembros de la facultad, pastores locales u otros invitados del presidente de BCF.

Puede encontrar una lista completa de los cursos que se ofrecerán en el campus de Miami aquí. Para solicitudes, visite baptistcollege.edu/apply. Para obtener una lista de becas y formularios de ayuda financiera, visite baptistcollege.edu/financial-aid-forms.

El campus de BCF del sur de Florida se lanzará en agosto de 2023 para el semestre de otoño y ofrecerá una licenciatura en estudios cristianos con la opción de una concentración en el ministerio pastoral o el ministerio misionero.

Además, dijo Cloer a los pastores, si al menos 10 estudiantes en un grupo de idioma (inglés, español o creole) se inscriben, las clases estarán disponibles para ellos en ese idioma. La mayoría de los pastores presentes sirven a congregaciones de habla hispana o creole.

La visión de Cloer para los próximos cinco años es tener el programa de estudio completo de BCF, que actualmente se ofrece en el campus principal de Graceville, y que también se ofrezca en el campus del sur de Florida. Eso incluye ofrecer títulos en música, adoración, educación y psicología en el campus de Hialeah.

“Queremos lograr que todos y cada uno de los Bautistas de Florida que deseen una educación superior la tengan disponible”, dijo Cloer. Su plan para que esto suceda consiste en formar asociaciones de inscripción dual con escuelas secundarias de educación cristiana, desarrollar un programa en el que todas las clases estén disponibles en línea y lanzar sitios en todo el estado.

“Quieren que sus hijos y nietos se capaciten en educación cristiana superior, y nosotros queremos capacitarlos”, dijo.

Cloer también se enfoca en hacer que la educación cristiana superior sea económicamente accesible.

“El Baptist College of Florida reconoce la gran necesidad de poder ofrecer una educación de calidad. Con la calidad viene el costo. A medida que el costo de la educación superior continúa aumentando, The Baptist College of Florida se compromete a ofrecer una educación asequible y de calidad que aliviará la carga financiera y brindará a los estudiantes oportunidades para comprometerse por completo con el trabajo del reino, ya sea de tiempo completo o bi- ministerio vocacional, dentro del mercado de negocios, educación o psicología”, dijo.

Actualmente, la universidad ofrece becas en el campus y en línea para satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes además de la ayuda federal.

“Este es un momento único. La educación superior se está trasladando a la escuela secundaria ya que la mayoría de los estudiantes del penúltimo y último año están haciendo trabajos universitarios. Hay un aumento continuo en la educación secundaria cristiana. En todo el estado, estamos viendo explotar la educación cristiana. Quiero ayudarte a servirlos. Hagámoslo juntos.”

The South Florida BCF campus will launch in August 2023 for the fall semester and will offer a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies with a choice of a pastoral ministry or mission ministry concentration.

Also, Cloer told pastors, if at least 10 students in a language group enroll, classes would be made available for them in that language. Most of the pastors in attendance serve Spanish or Creole-speaking congregations.

Cloer’s vision for the next five years is to have BCF’s full program of study, currently offered at the main campus in Graceville, also offered at the South Florida campus. That includes offering music, worship, education and psychology degrees at the Hialeah campus.

“We want to make it so that any and every Florida Baptist who wants a higher education will have it available to them,” said Cloer. His plan to make this happen involves forming dual-enrollment partnerships with Christian education high schools, developing a program in which all classes are available online, and launching sites across the state.

“You want to have your children and grandchildren trained in higher Christian education, and we want to train them,” he said.

Cloer also is focused on making higher Christian education financially accessible.

“The Baptist College of Florida recognizes the great need of being able to offer quality education. With quality comes cost. As the cost of higher education continues to rise, The Baptist College of Florida is committed to offering quality and affordable education that will lift the financial burden and provide students with opportunities to fully commit to kingdom work, whether that is full-time or bi-vocational ministry, within the business marketplace, education or psychology,” he said.

The college is currently offering on-campus and online scholarships to meet the needs of students in addition to federal aid.

“This is a unique time. Higher education is moving into high school as most juniors and seniors are doing college work. There is an ongoing surge in Christian high school education. Across the state, we are seeing Christian education explode. I want to help you serve them. Let’s do it together.”
