Mission Trips

Church mission trips allow the church family to travel to and reach underserved areas.  Our adults, as well as youth, actively attend these trips and are able to minister to the people effectively, through prayer walks and Backyard Bible Clubs (for children).

Some previous trips include:
Woodville (near Beaumont, Texas) - December 2005
Montpelier, Vermont - Summer 2004
Franklin, Pennsylvania - Summer 2001

Mary Hill Davis Offering for Texas Missions
Offering taken: September

The life of Mary Hill Davis still challenges Texas Baptists to be willing to give of our time, money, and selves to the cause of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with the vast mission field called Texas.

Every other person in Texas (about 10 million) doesn't know Jesus as Savior.
