That’s the heartbeat behind the statewide “Fill the Tank” baptism emphasis. We’re encouraging every N.C.

Will you sign up to “fill the tank?” Ministry Assistant and Pastor Appreciation Lunch  Pastors are invited to bring their Ministry Assistant for a time to appreciate them on April 29th. We will play games and eat a great meal. Please RSVP with how many we should expect from your church by 4-23. CRBA NeedSponsor a Bike – Share the Gospel!?  Could your church or Sunday School group sponsor a bike for a Burke Changer Block Party ? During Burke Changer Mission Week, the gospel is shared at each block party, creating a powerful opportunity for outreach in our community. This summer, the youth of our CRBA churches will serve by building handicap ramps during the day. In the evenings, they will minister through 5 free, community-wide block parties, which include food, fun activities, and a special bike giveaway . We need your help! Each bike costs $100 and provides not only a fun gift but also an opportunity for others to hear the gospel. Would you consider sponsoring a bike and making an eternal impact? If you are willing to help please contact us at (828) 437-0137. Resource of the Week  Your CRBA has 3 chainsaws available for your ministry events.
