Youth Ministry

The purpose of this page is to inform those working with the youth in the Tar River Baptist Association to become informed about the events related to youth that are taking place in Tar River and beyond. If you have ideas, please contact us by calling 919-496-7172 or via e-mail at tarriverbaptist@hotmail.com. We want to help you "get the news out" of upcoming events.

The Youth Council of the TRBA meets quarterly to plan events for the youth in our Tar River Churches. ALL PERSONS that work with youth (paid or volunteer) are invited to these meetings to assist with the planning. This allows our youth to experience a great deal more than they might be able to alone. For additional information about the dates of these meetings, contact TRBA office at 919-496-7172 or tarriverbaptist@hotmail.com.
