Baptist Children’s Homes’ (BCH) new CEO David Melber, with his wife, Tera, has spent his first weeks building relationships with the ministry’s staff members, ministry partners, and supporters throughout North Carolina.
Melber, who joins BCH after serving with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, feels that his most important priority as he begins his tenure is to invest in the relationships that have been vital to carrying out the ministry’s mission.
“We want them to know that they are our most valuable resource,” David says.
The Melbers have visited BCH’s various locations, meeting staff members at the specific areas where they serve. Visits along the way have also included leaders at the Baptist State Convention of NC (NC Baptists), pastors, donors, and trustees. David’s message to all has been one of expectation in what God is going to do in this new season at BCH.
“We want to continually seek to love the Lord more each day,” David says. “We want to encourage this among staff and our ministry partners.”
“We may be serving BCH as an organization, but most of all, we are all being conformed into the image of Christ. We want to walk alongside every BCH partner together throughout this journey with the Gospel clearly at the center.”
