Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) is a Christian network comprised of individuals and churches that work together to spread the hope of Christ. For 25 years, CBF has been driven by its mission to serve Christians and churches as they discover and fulfill their God-given mission and to live into our vision to be a national and global community bearing witness to the Gospel in partnership with Christians across the nation and around the world. Currently Steve Sheely, our pastor, is a member of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Governing Board.

Rolling Hills joined the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship at its very beginning.  Formed as a Southern Baptist mission of Immanuel Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Rolling Hills was voted out of the Washington-Madison Baptist Association in 1985 for practicing open communion (welcoming all Christians and not just members of RHBC) to participate in the Lord’s Supper), allowed divorced and remarried members to serve in leadership roles, and ordaining women as deacons.  For several years, Rolling Hills was an independent Baptist church and eagerly welcomed affiliation with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.

 Rolling Hills has remained highly supportive of CBF initiatives, including state and global missions.  Rolling Hills staff and members have served in a variety of leadership roles with CBF and CBF Arkansas (now Great Rivers Fellowship).

 Great Rivers Fellowship formed in 2023 from the merger of CBF Arkansas, CBF Louisiana, and CBF Mississippi.
