Who Are Royal Ambassadors?

Royal Ambassadors (RAs) are the boys in grades 1-6 that meet together each Wendesday night at 6:00 p.m. and who are committed to living out the RA Pledge.

What is the FBC Royal Ambassadors Organization?

Royal Ambassadors (RAs) is a Bible-centered mission education organization for boys in grades 1-6. Each week the RAs study a particular missionary and his/her work, study Bible based virtues and their application, work on a special missions emphasis, and engage in fun games, RA competitions (RA Racers, RA Sailboats, RA LineGliders) or another group activity.   

Where do we get the name Royal Ambassador?

The RA Motto, "We are Ambassadors for Christ," not only gives the organization its name, but also gives the boys and leaders a lifestyle goal. This Motto is taken from Scripture, specifically 2 Corinthians 5:20.

The Scripture passage 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 describes the purpose of Royal Ambassadors. While the RA motto is found in verse 20, the other verses sum up Paul's declaration of why we need to be ambassadors for Christ.

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Now everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ; certain that God is appealing through us, we plead on Christ's behalf, 'Be reconciled to God.'" (2 Cor. 5:17-20, HCSB)
