"We are
Ambassadors for Christ" 
2 Corinthians 5:20 

Royal Ambassadors (R.A.s) is a awesome club for boys in grade 1 through grade 6. We meet twice a month to learn about missions in creative and exciting ways. R.A.s is sort of a cross between boy scouts and bible school.

Welcome to the
Locust Grove ROYAL AMBASSADOR page!!!

What is Royal Ambassadors?

Royal Ambassadors (RA’s) is a Southern Baptist mission education organization for boys in grades 1-6.  It seeks to build biblical character in boys through mission involvement and virtue commitments.  Since it’s beginning in 1908, Royal Ambassador church-based ministries have helped boys to grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and in relationships with others.  The basic purpose of Royal Ambassadors is found in the Royal Ambassador Pledge.

To build the Christian character needed to keep the promises of the RA Pledge, RA’s learn biblical virtues such as Loyalty, Friendship, Courage, Responsibility, Honesty, Faith, Compassion, Perseverance, Teamwork, and Self-Discipline.  They also learn about God’s mission, participate in on-mission activities, pray for and give to missions, develop and use mission skills, and learn about and support the mission work of the church and association.

The Locust Grove Royal Ambassador Chapters meet twice a month to learn about missions in creative and exciting ways.  Our meetings are typically the 2nd and 4th Wednesday night of each month, 6:30 – 8:30pm.

Membership is accomplished by memorization of the RA Motto and RA Pledge.

RA’s learn and grow.

Once an official member, each boy will receive a workbook corresponding to their grade in school.  These are known as PERSONAL GROWTH PLAN (PGP) books.  Completion of projects and commitments in the workbook earns specific points for the student.  Points collect to earn patches and pins to proudly display on his RA Vest.  Most PGP work is done at home.  

RA’s participate in mission projects.

Among many things, we have raised money for the Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund, hosted meals for traveling foreign students and missionaries, and supported our church in its annual Brazil Mission trip.  

RA’s have fun.

The RA Race car derby is always a highlight of the year, as boys build their own wooden cars to race down our two-lane drag strip.  In the spring we attend the state RA Congress, a meeting and competition with other RA’s from all over Western North Carolina.  Hikes, campouts and other outdoor activities are also scheduled from time to time.
