Tar Landing Baptist Church's American Heritage Girls (AHG) Troop NC2031 was chartered on July 21, 2025. We are committed to providing a healthy and well-rounded atmosphere for all of our members through faith, service, and fun. Our Adult Members and Leaders have passed background checks and completed mandatory safety trainings required by AHG.  

Our troop upholds AHG's Statement of Faith: “We believe that there is one Triune God–Father; Jesus Christ, His one and only Son; and the Holy Spirit–Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshipping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who enables us to live godly lives. We believe that each individual is called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength; and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe God calls us to lives of purity, service, stewardship, and integrity.”  (https://americanheritagegirls.org/about-ahg/statement-of-faith/).

2026-2027 Events Planned

Why NC2031?

10 

An excellent wife who can find?

    She is far more precious than jewels.

11 

The heart of her husband trusts in her,

    and he will have no lack of gain.

12 

She does him good, and not harm,

    all the days of her life.

13 

She seeks wool and flax,

    and works with willing hands.

14 

She is like the ships of the merchant;

    she brings her food from afar.

15 

She rises while it is yet night

    and provides food for her household

    and portions for her maidens.

16 

She considers a field and buys it;

    with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.

17 

She dresses herself with strength

    and makes her arms strong.

18 

She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.

    Her lamp does not go out at night.

19 

She puts her hands to the distaff,

    and her hands hold the spindle.

20 

She opens her hand to the poor

    and reaches out her hands to the needy.

21 

She is not afraid of snow for her household,

    for all her household are clothed in scarlet.

22 

She makes bed coverings for herself;

    her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23 

Her husband is known in the gates

    when he sits among the elders of the land.

24 

She makes linen garments and sells them;

    she delivers sashes to the merchant.

25 

Strength and dignity are her clothing,

    and she laughs at the time to come.

26 

She opens her mouth with wisdom,

    and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

27 

She looks well to the ways of her household

    and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 

Her children rise up and call her blessed;

    her husband also, and he praises her:

29 

“Many women have done excellently,

    but you surpass them all.”

30 

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,

    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 

Give her of the fruit of her hands,

    and let her works praise her in the gates.
