The LBC Youth Department is seeking your volunteerism with tutoring services in the LBC Community for students of all ages. Tutoring services (such as Math, Reading, Science, and etcetera) are needed for at least once a week for approximately 1.5 to 3 hours one evening out of the week (planned to be on Mondays).
To referenced the United Way, there are five reasons why someone would want to volunteer as a tutor. But first, a basic definition of tutoring. Volunteer tutoring involves a combination of instruction and assisting with assignments, either one-on-one or in small groups of students.
And why would someone want to be a volunteer tutor?
- Tutoring works. One-on-one tutoring, in concert with the teacher’s curriculum, over time makes a measurable difference for students.
- You get more than you give. Volunteer tutoring is rewarding. You have the chance to make a real difference in the life of a child and ultimately, the greater community. Volunteer tutoring is easy and fun, and you get to experience your student’s positive responses and growth.
- You’re the expert. Volunteers get to share what they know, not only about the subject matter, but how success in school has made a difference in their lives.
- It’s flexible and predictable. Most tutoring programs will ask for an ongoing commitment. You can shop around, however, to find an opportunity that works with your schedule. More and more employers are finding ways for employees to commit to tutoring opportunities during the work day.
- All eyes are on you. Every child loves attention, and tutoring allows you to provide it. The attention can bolster the student’s sense of self-worth and self-confidence. And, students who form good relationships with tutors may feel more positively about relationships with teachers and parents.
If you're interested in helping children get more out of their education and have a solid foundation for future learning, become a volunteer tutor! Please contact Ms. Telia Mahomes at (501) 565-2092 for help in finding the right volunteer opportunity for you.
Thank you!

Mission Statement
The Men’s Ministry strives for excellence in developing the men of Longley into Disciples through prayer, witnessing, ministering, giving, and studying. It is our goal to create opportunities for men to know Christ better and to develop an environment for them to fellowship with one another.
Description
During the year of 1896, the Supreme Court ruledthat segregated facilities were not illegal under the 14th amendment, provided those available for both races were of equal quality that is "separate but equal", Plessy vs. Ferguson, and the population of the United States was 70,885,000. There also was a group of people meeting in a schoolhouse in Southwest Little Rock with a vision. This group of visionaries; Prince Bryant, Henry Love, Anita Longley, Emma Bryant, Wade Webster, Frank Murray and Martha Murray, came together and organized Longley Baptist Church with Rev. Phillip Pumphrey as the first pastor.
Many years later, progressive Idealism caused the church to experience a split between the regulars and the progressives. Longley Baptist Church met in two locations; the schoolhouse, with Bro. Sanders, and down the road in a brush arbor on Rev. J. E. Johnson’s property.
The Longley Baptist Church has grown from its eight person beginning, to 52 persons, in 1962, to 200+ members in 1988, to 900+ in 2001, to our present membership of over 2600 persons. Our physical structure has changed through the years, but Longley still remains a body of baptized believers in Christ.
We realize that there is still much that need to be done and will be done but we are very thankful to the Lord for all He has allowed to be done thus far and for guiding us every step of the way. It is our sincere prayer that, in God's time, Pastor and People, Church and Community, will truly be a church "Where Excellence is the Standard "!
