Tar River Baptist Association seeks to assist member churches become engaged in ministry to the communities where God has placed them,  We recommend that every church prayerfully consider forming a "partnership" with someone in their community.  We suggest the following as possibilities: 
  • Local Elementary School:  Speak with you local school's guidance counselors and principals to determine if there are needs among the children that you could minister to as a church family.  
    • ​​​​Volunteer in the schools (readers, aids, test proctors, tutor, mentor, etc.)
      • After school GOOD NEWS BIBLE CLUB - consider following this curriculum after school and build relationship with families
      • Emergency needs - the early grades often need cloths to deal with accidents - keep the school stocked
      • Teacher/Staff Appreciation - maybe once a quarter place fruit, sweet buns, fresh fruit, etc. in places where the staff can enjoy

    • Volunteer in the schools (you will have opportunity to expand to other areas with older students - expanded role as tutors and mentors, coaching assistants and chaperone needs, etc. etc.)
    • An identified special need that we will be working on at the associational level will be a "crisis response team."  Simply put - the church needs to be able to respond to their local needs and there are times young people need us to reach out to them to comfort and counsel - death of teacher/student, major event in the community, car accidents, etc, etc,  It is not just the major events we need to respond to as the church, but there are other
