Our Members:
Little River Baptist Association is a family of
46 cooperating Baptist churches affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of
North Carolina and the Southern Baptist Convention. We are motivated by a
desire to serve the Lord by serving people, making a difference in the Harnett
County area. Whatever your need is, we hope there will be something here that
will help you in your daily life.
Find a church near you and join us as we serve the Lord
together.
Our Purpose:
It is our desire to "inspire and encourage the member churches in a
spirit of
love
and cooperation
so that the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ,
might
be proclaimed with greater power
and effectiveness in our
association,
our state
and nation,
and unto the uttermost parts of the world."
(Paraphrase, Article II, Constitution and Bylaws)
Our
purpose is this: We have no reason to exist except as a servant of the
churches.
We are here to resource the churches, to encourage pastors, and to
promote the
carrying out of the Great Commission as a community of churches.
We have
discovered four core values that drive our association. They are:
1.
Evangelism: We pray and witness to see the lost brought to a saving
knowledge of Christ.
2.
Ministry: We minister to the spiritual and physical need of
people.
3.
Missions: We obey the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
4.
Training: We train believers to be like Jesus in every way
possible.
We bring churches together in numerous short-term and
long-term volunteer
projects,
as well
as provide resources to the local church:
training for lay ministers,
leadership
development
for church staff, media
library materials, & consultation
on church issues.
