Toy Store Ministry

The New South River Baptist Association Toy Store provides families with toys for their children at Christmas and also gives us the opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with them.

The deadline has passed for 2011. Toy Store Applications for 2012 will be available in October of next year. Copies will also be available for pick up from the Cumberland and Sampson Beatitude Houses, the New South River Baptist Association Office or a Church within New South River Baptist Association.

Each year the NSRBA collects thousands of toys and then gives families the opportunity to come and shop at our Toy Store.

The toys are collected from the churches of the NSRBA. If you would like to join us in the wonderful ministry by providing toys to be used in this ministry here are some guidelines to follow:

All toys must be new

All toys must be brought to the NSRBA Office (to be sorted, "priced", and divided)

The Deadline to drop off toys is November 28.
