About Shirley R. Carr Foundation

Sister Shirley Ruffin Carr was a pioneer member of Second Calvary Baptist Church, joining the church on January 1, 1936, under the pastorate of Dr. C. P. Madison.  For 70 years she continued her faithful and committed journey under the pastorates of Dr. H. W. B. Walker, Rev. Larry Chase and Rev. Dr. Geoffrey V. Guns.  A faithful member for 70 years, she attended worship services regularly and was a dedicated and supportive member who worked diligently and tirelessly to support the ministries of the church. She served as Church Clerk for 23 years and became the first Administrative Assistant of the Church under the pastorate of Rev. Doctor Geoffrey V. Guns.  In addition, Sister Carr was the official historian of the Church.  She shared her time and talents freely by serving as an officer and teacher in both the Church School and Vacation Bible School. Other ministries she served on were chairperson of the Board of Christian Missions, the Civic & Social Concerns Committee, Youth Choir, Young People’s Usher Board, Ruth Land Junior Missionaries, Bread Outreach Ministry, Helping Hands Auxiliary, Pastor’s Council, Senior’s Ministry, the Women’s Missionary Union, (WMU), Building and Renovation Committee, Church and Pastor’s Anniversary Committee, Auditing, and Constitution Revision Committee. Hoping to continue to be of service, even in her death (January 9, 2006), Sister Carr bequeathed her entire estate to Second Calvary Baptist Church. Her legacy lives on in the Shirley R. Carr Foundation which is committed to investing in the youth of the church. Each year qualifying high school students are awarded an educational scholarship to assist in continuing their education.
