Baptist Press: Delaware Valley Baptist Church in Willingboro, N.J., has doubled its participation in the Southern Baptist Convention's Cooperative Program (CP) Missions, from 5 to 10 percent to reach people in New Jersey and around the world, and tripled in attendance, from 100 to 300, in the six years since James Betner was called as pastor.

With an emphasis on prayer and discipleship, the congregation's ministries reach out to the community and the world.
