If you’ve been serving students for 20 minutes or 20 years, there is always room to grow and develop your youth ministry skills. YMU101 is filled with practical training on how to be a more effective youth worker. We’ll start at the beginning–a very good place to start–by walking through the importance of being a continual learner and other essential character qualities of all good youth workers. If you’re in your first few years of youth ministry, let us help you get started in this adventure of serving students. If you’re a seasoned veteran, you already understand the value of mastering the basics and we’re thrilled you’re back for more.
*Course 101 session Titles:
Leaders Commit to Learning
3 Essential Traits for All Youth Workers
Remembering Names in Youth Ministry
Understanding Relational Ministry
Understanding the Students You’re Working With
Pastoral Care With Teenagers
* We won’t be able to cover all of the topics listed above, but we will get started!
Start at the conference and then continue on your own!

Bible Drill 2021 was a great blessing, and we look forward to our upcoming 2022 Bible Drill. Join us on March 13th at Burkemont at 3 p.m. in support of these wonderful children.
We are excited to partner with Saturate USA to pray for every home in Burke County and to give them (every home) a gospel tract and a DVD of the Jesus film which can be streamed and available in several languages. If your church would be willing to adopt a section of Burke County to distribute these packets door to door (not door-knocking, just putting the bag on the door handle) please call our CRBA office. All materials are free of charge and are customizable. The goal is to have everything distributed by Easter this year. We still have maps and supplies available so please stop by or call our office for more information and/or to pick up the supplies.
To register yourself or your church group, please contact the CRBA office or visit www.crbanc.org/events.
Phone: (828) 437-0137
Email: admin@crbanc.org
Every April, we encourage our churches to buy at least $100 worth of grocery store gift cards and bring them to the CRBA office so that we can distribute those to the Baptist Children’s Homes of NC. This year, in addition to the gift cards, we are asking individuals to make cakes for the children. On May 2nd, we will collect the cakes at our CRBA office from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., and then we will deliver them to some of our NC Baptist Children’s Homes. These cakes will be put into large freezers. On each child’s birthday, they will pick out their birthday cake. The remaining cakes will be used for deserts at the children’s homes. Please help us spread the word about this new ministry opportunity!
