Upcoming Meeting Info For materials related to the 242nd Annual Meeting of Members, scroll to the bottom of the page or CLICK HERE. What are Messengers and Church Representatives? What is a Messenger versus a Representative? A messenger votes on behalf of his/her home church at the Annual, Semi-Annual and any special-called Meetings of Members. Each church selects its own messengers and is allotted 2 at a minimum and no more than 7 (based on General Fund contributions given during the previous fiscal year). For more info, please read the Dover Baptist Association Constitution and Bylaws. A representative also votes on behalf of his/her home church but at the quarterly or special called Executive Committee Meetings. Churches select their own representatives. Executive Committee chairs, directors, and pastors are considered voting members. Dover's Major Upcoming Meetings Schedule 2025-2026 Executive Committee Meeting: Tuesday, January 13, 2026 at 7 p.m. - Dover Office/Zoom Executive Committee Meeting: Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 7 p.m. - Dover Office/Zoom Semi-Annual Meeting: Sunday, April 26, 2026 at 3 p.m. - Church Host Location TBD Executive Committee Meeting: Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 7 p.m. - Dover Office/Zoom Executive Committee Meeting: Tuesday, October 13, 2026 at 7 p.m. - Dover Office/Zoom 243rd Annual Meeting and Mission & Ministry Fair: Sunday, October 25, 2026 - Church Host Location TBD 242nd Annual Meeting of Members Materials for Review The 2025 Book of Reports will be published online at the time of the Annual Meeting HERE . 1 The Executive Committee Meeting took place on Tuesday, October 14th at 7 p.m. whereupon the Nominations Committee put forth the following motion but was unable to complete the vote due to a loss of quorum to conduct business. As a result, the motion is being proposed by the Nominations Committee at the Annual Meeting. The standing Nominations Committee proposes the following reorganized, recommissioned volunteer groupings to take affect beginning for the 2025-2026 term. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD FULL PROPOSAL NOTE : This initial proposal was done in accordance with Constitution Article 9 and Bylaw 8.03, "Organizational Changes" which both read, "The Executive Committee shall have authority to implement changes in the organizational structure of the Association as needed. Any change must have the approval of at least two-thirds of the members present" and Bylaw 4.03 which reads, "SPECIAL COMMITTEES. The Executive Committee may establish special committees as needed." Because the Messengers have more authority than the Executive Committee, an approval by the Messengers would supersede that of the Executive Committee. Given the Executive Committee could not conduct business due to lack of a quorum, this proposal is being brought forth to the Messengers. NOTE: Two changes have been made to the proposal since the Executive Committee meeting. 1) Audit Committee is no longer listed as a proposed committee; instead delegating a third-party audit is charged to the Trustees. 2) General Budget is not listed erroneously under Designated Funds column. 2 The Executive Committee Meeting took place on Tuesday, October 14th at 7 p.m. whereupon the Nominations Committee put forth the following motion but was unable to complete the vote due to a loss of quorum to conduct business.

Our History A unity in Christ almost as old as our country deserves to be fostered for future generations The Dover Baptist Association predates any Virginia Baptist organization and even the first Baptist national organization as formed in the early 1800s. We Baptists are a diverse group of Bible-believing, autonomy-loving Christians. With a long and strong track record of working alongside one another despite any differences, the DBA allows us to unify our impact for the Kingdom locally and globally. A Rich History Dover Baptist Association formed in 1783 when the General Association of Separate Baptists of Virginia divided at the James River. A decision of the General Association of the Separate Baptists of Virginia to divide into “Upper” and “Lower” districts on the north side of the James River resulted in the formation of Dover Baptist Association. The association first met in 1784 at the meetinghouse of Dover Baptist Church in Goochland County. The twenty-two charter member churches had constituents in at least twenty-one Virginia counties. By 1800, Dover soon took its place as a leading association, providing key leaders for the Baptist General Association of Virginia that organized in 1823. Even during those early years Dover included congregations representing the ethnic variety of the region, reaching as far as Maryland. We have a history of working with various believers in Kingdom causes. In the early 1830s, the Campbellite or “Reformation” movement found Dover Association dealing with problems of doctrinal compromise by advising the churches to exclude the disaffected members. After 1835, Dover exhibited a new unity and experienced rapid growth. In the ensuing years Dover has released churches from membership to form new associations, among them, Rappahannock, Hermon, Peninsula and Richmond. In 1955, the association created the office of Executive Secretary, today’s Executive Director of Missions. William E. Cullers served from 1955-1961. W. Paul Hepler served from 1962-1976. Richard T. Moore served from 1977-1995. Steven K. Allsbrook served from 1997-2017. Dr. Robert Dale and Rev. Rose Mary Stewart served as co-Intentional Interim Executive Director of Missions from October 2017-October 2019. The Reverend Dr. Maria Lynn served as the Interim Executive Director of Missions from August 2020-July 2021. The Rev. Arnold ‘Win’ Davis was called as the fifth Executive Director of Missions on June 8, 2021 and began serving on August 2, 2021. Dover Baptist Association continues to help its family of churches serve Christ as it serves the churches and their leaders, encouraging each other and doing missions together. William E.
