Practical Ways to Assist WBA Churches
We believe that every church needs to be a strong church and to maintain that foundational integrity requires assistance and partnership with others for encouragement. One of purposes of the Waccamaw Baptist Association is to come alongside our pastors and churches with resources to help strengthen our churches.
Some of the practical ways your WBA team partners with our churches for strengthening includes:
Training pastor search teams and assisting with acquiring resumes in times of pastoral transition
Providing supply preachers and trained interims to assist in filling the pulpit in the absence of the pastor
Assistance for new church plants
Training and assistance for churches in developing and implementing a sexual abuse policy and safety procedures
Training mission teams and preparing members for mission trips
Assistance and training for VBS, WMU groups, Baptist Men Groups, and children’s mission education ministries
Assisting churches experiencing hardships such as fires, floods, death of a pastor, etc.
Consulting with churches in conflict
Communicating pertinent denominational events and programs to churches
Providing strategic planning and futuring processes for churches examining their mission, vision, core values, and goals.
Assist churches with the creation and editing of constitution and by-laws, administrative manuals and personnel manuals.
Assist churches in setting up financial bookkeeping processes that protect the integrity of the church

Deacon Training
We're grateful for Dr. Tony Wolfe and Pastor Gary L Reeves for assisting at our Waccamaw Baptist Association Deacon Training at Maple Baptist Church. 36 in attendance representing 9 WBA churches. I highly recommend Dr. Wolfe’s book “A Deacon on Purpose.” Each person at the training received a copy and we have a number available at our WBA office. The breakfast provided by the Maple Baptist men was outstanding.
