The recommendation to add Daniel Brown to the last vacant slot on Triad Baptist Church’s board of deacons leads the items up for review at the Nov. 18 business meeting.

Brown says he and his wife, Chasity, and children, Leah, 12, and Luke, 14, became members of Triad Baptist through its Triad Baptist Christian Academy.

“Our children have been attending Triad Baptist Christian Academy since fall 2012, which is when we first were exposed to the ministries at Triad Baptist Church,” says Brown who would serve a three-year term if members approve his selection.

He works for the U.S. Postal Service in Greensboro as a knowledge management systems administrator.

“We have been attending TBC since the spring of 2013 and subsequently joined as members July of that year,” Brown says. “The church and academy has been such a blessing to our family. TBC has been such a breath of fresh air for us, and we were drawn to the Academy because we felt it was important for our children to have a quality education with a Christian worldview.”

While he accepted Christ as savior at age 8, Brown says his own family did not even begin attending church together until he was a teenager.

“It was because of Vandalia Christian School (where he attended form first through 12th grade) that I heard the gospel message,” he says.

At Triad, Brown serves on the audiovisual team for the contemporary worship service as well as Easter and Christmas productions, co-leads the Financial Peace University Sunday Night Adult class, ushers, and is a substitute teacher in the Doulos Sunday School Class.

He’s also coached Triad Baptist Christian Academy’s volleyball team for two years, coached an Upward Soccer team, and been a nursery and Kids Street Children’s Ministry volunteer, including Kids Street’s Vacation Bible School.

In addition to the vote on Brown for deacon, members will also review ministry team recommendations by the Nominating Committee, and the third quarter 2015 financial report and 2016 budget.

Executive Administrator Dennis Roberts will review these and other financial highlights:

• Triad Baptist Church has a bank balance of $392,695.21 with $299,140.81 available to spend, and Triad Baptist Christian Academy has a $634,816.70 balance. The church is at 74.64 percent of budget, and the Academy, 73.21 percent.
  
  
• Members have given $1,952,90836 to the church’s “Not Without You” capital campaign — $321,658.36 more than projected for this point in the giving program.
  
  
• The church’s 2016 budget is $2,814,226.35, or 6.13 percent higher than 2015 because of the new contemporary worship leader position the church will add, and expenses required to comply with the Affordable Care Act.

Those items and more will be discussed at the business meeting, which begins immediately after the 7 p.m. service on Nov. 18 in the Kids Street Worship Center.
