Rev. Richard Edwards served as pastor of churches in Bladen, Robeson and Cumberland counties in North Carolina. During his ministry, he was known for his kind pastoral heart and his love of Gospel music. An important part of his preparation for ministry was his attendance of Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute. Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute left a lasting impression on Pastor Edwards and his ministry. As a pastor he sought to reach out to everyone in both their times of trials and their everyday lives, with a word of encouragement and a desire to know all whom he met. His strong voice proclaimed the wonders of Jesus Christ in both sermons and songs, using the foundations taught to him during his time at Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute.

5 Quick North Carolina Weekend Getaways To Close Out Your Summer

  • Wilmington, North Carolina

    For my wife Debbie and I, when we need a quick getaway, there’s no easier choice than Wilmington, North Carolina. While in the Port City, have a picnic at the Battleship, North Carolina. Then, treat yourself to a tour of the BB-55, one of history’s most famous U.S. Navy battleships, the Battleship North Carolina. Also, consider a relaxing one-mile long River Walk along the Cape Fear River. There are also a number of options for dining in the area. One of the best ways to see Wilmington Is to book a Wilmington Trolley Company tour. And of course, while on the coast, you must visit the beaches, whether it be Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Southport or Oak Island. While in Wilmington, one of the prettiest walks you can take is at Airlie Gardens. Airlie Gardens covers 67 acres along with over 100,000 azaleas and a beautiful nature walk. While touring Airlie Gardens, keep an eye out for the famous Airlie Oak tree which is nearly 500 years old.

  • The Outer Banks

    Our next weekend getaway idea takes us to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Here you will enjoy the Wright Brother’s National Memorial where Wilbur and Orville Wright taught the world to fly. Another must-see is the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the tallest brick lighthouse in the nation.
