The Tar River Baptist Association is an association of like-minded Baptist churches in the Tar River region who cooperate to pursue the spiritual vitality of churches and pastors for the sake of reaching the community for Jesus. The TRBA focuses on three priorities to support God’s church to fulfill her mission: Church Health, Outreach, and Pastoral Investment. 


​We are growing! We welcome Oak Hill Church located just outside of Elm City, NC. They were approved by the Board of the TRBA to come under watch-care as members. Welcome new friends!
