We are excited about the possibility of our churches planting a church in Burke County to reach former inmates. This type of church is greatly needed in our community and there have been many who have been praying for this type of church for our community. If you are interested in helping our churches launch this type of church please join us on Tuesday, June 28th at 6:30 p.m. at our CRBA office for a time of discussion and planning.
We are excited we will be taking a team to Kisumu, Kenya this November. We will be building homes for those in need which will also be used for Bible Studies and Church Plants. In addition to providing homes, there will be opportunities for personal evangelism, prayer walking, preaching, and teaching. The cost is approximately $2,200 (cost may vary due to rising fuel prices). For more information and to register, please call our CRBA office.
The deadline to sign up with a $500 deposit is August 15th.
Please note that, as of right now, Kenya requires all travelers to be vaccinated. This guideline is subject to change.

We are excited to announce the date for next year’s BurkeChangers! Mark you calendars for August 13-16, 2023. This is always a great opportunity for our CRBA Youth to get together to serve the community.
We are looking forward to LoveLOUD 2022 and we hope each of our churches will choose to participate.

The responsibility of the church will be to pick up the food from Chick-fil-A on the date and time assigned (the church will be responsible for paying for the food) and deliver it to the school and serve it if allowed. This is a great opportunity for your church to be involved in missions in our own community. Call today!

The Fall Meeting and Celebration will be a great time of God Stories and worship, but this year we are including a Missions Fair and Dessert Fellowship following the 6 p.m. service. If your church would like to have a booth (table) to display your church’s missions/ministries, please contact us at our CRBA office. These displays will be used to celebrate what God is doing through our 66 CRBA churches and will also bless our churches; providing new ideas for ministry. Please call and reserve your table today.
