The Cooperative Program

The Cooperative Program is the primary giving system for North Carolina Baptists that supports missions, benevolence and education. Cooperative Program supports the BSCNC staff your state missionaries who help hundreds of churches each year in programs ranging from evangelism and Sunday School to music and discipleship training and insurance and retirement programs for church staffs. Cooperative Program also provides basic support for the Cary offices of North Carolina Baptist Men, so that operating funds they receive through the North Carolina Missions Offering can go even further.

Helping our Community

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is a teaching hospital located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

WFUBMC comprises the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the North Carolina Baptist Hospital.

The North Carolina Baptist Hospital was established in 1923 as an 88-bed community hospital. Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM) (formerly the Bowman Gray School of Medicine (BGSM)) was founded in 1902 on the old Wake Forest University campus in Wake Forest.

In 1941, BGSM moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1941 to become affiliated with the North Carolina Baptist Hospital. In 1997 the hospital and medical school realigned to become the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center (WFUBMC). The hospital is now a Level 1 trauma center that serves the entire Piedmont region of North Carolina. It is also home to AirCare, the hospital's critical care transport service that operates both ground ambulances and a helicopter at the critical care level.

On March 17, 2011, WFUBMC announced a name change to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

The combined entity is now composed of three main entities:

• Wake Forest University School of Medicine
• North Carolina Baptist Hospital, which physically includes the Brenner Children's Hospital and has off-site subsidiary hospitals.
• Wake Forest University Physicians, which includes the attending staff at the hospital.

Child and Family Care

It is the vision of Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina to provide the highest quality of services in child and family care. We will be a provider of choice in a culture of excellence.

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is much more than an offering envelope and an annual missions-giving emphasis.

When people give to the offering, 100 percent of their gift will be transformed into missionary salaries and ministry supplies.

Those missionaries and supplies will help others hear the message of Christ and respond in faith to His offer of salvation.

Time and again our missionaries relate how the offering is their lifeblood.

They know that behind each penny given, there is a Southern Baptist who believes in what they do and are affirming the need to equip them to share the gospel with those who need a Savior.
