Church Resources
CBFNC cultivates a variety of resources for churches in the Resource Library, which is organized by topic. Additionally, our staff has compiled a separate set of Coronavirus resources to help pastors and churches navigate the global pandemic.

Peer Learning Groups
CBFNC partners with CBF Global to provide support for local ministers through Peer Learning Groups (PLG). There are 15 PLG’s operating in North Carolina. This is an excellent way for ministers to learn from and connect with other ministers who share common ministry contexts (i.e., rural settings, multi-staff congregations, bi-professional ministers, etc.). CBF Global offers financial support for PLGs.
For more information visit CBF’s website.
CBFNC offers matching funds for new and existing PLGs. For funding information for PLGs within CBFNC, please contact Kathryn Ashworth, ministry support manager, at kashworth@cbfnc.org.
