Missions House

Our Missions House is a four bedroom apartment equipped with a common living and kitchen area, wash room facilities, private bathrooms, and central heat & air.  Its purpose is to provide God’s servants who labor in East Texas a quiet and comfortable place to rest.  We know that being on the road can be tiring so let us answer the question of “where to stay?”.  Click here for more information.

Children’s Ministry

Serving children grades Pre K through 6th our Children’s Ministry purpose is to partner with parents in helping children realize the need for a personal relationship with Christ.  It is our desire to encourage and guide our children in such a way that they are prepared for whatever God’s will is for their life. In addition to Sunday School classes we have a Children’s Church Sunday mornings during the main worship hour.


Youth Ministry

The Youth Ministry serves young people grades 7th through 12th.  Through Sunday School classes, preaching, special events, and small group interaction we desire to prepare our youth for God’s call and aid in helping Christ become magnified in their life.  We seek to lead teens in becoming strong disciples of Christ, living out their faith in the world around them, and being prepared to make life decisions on their own.
