Pine Springs
Baptist Camp
Pine Springs Baptist Camp is owned and operated by the American Baptist Association. It was founded in 1973 as an expansion to its sister camp Bogg Springs located in Arkansas.
Pine Springs Baptist Camp primarily exists to aid the churches of the American Baptist Association in carrying out the great commission by providing
a venue for the teaching of the good news of
Jesus Christ.
Pine Springs Baptist Camp also exists to aid others who share the same vision and goal of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. While not all groups desiring to use Pine Springs are religious in nature, expectations are that any group attending Pine Springs hold to Christian values and seek to instill Christian values in the campers attending.
Pine Springs can facilitate up to 550 campers, but services groups of all sizes year round. Our church attends Pine Springs for teen and family camp.

Texas Mission
Builders
The organization of Texas Mission Builders is the result of much prayer and council on the part of several men who saw a need for a voluntary work force among the Missionary Baptist Churches of the State of Texas
​
Missions and churches have at times settled for much less than was needed in the area of construction of new buildings or additions to their existing buildings because of the high cost of material and labor. The central purpose of Texas Mission Builders is to give Missionary Baptists the opportunity to do greater work for the Lord in the future by:
-
Organizing a volunteer work force to help in the construction of church buildings or additions to existing buildings free of charge.
-
The soliciting of people within our churches of various skills and crafts to use their talents for the Lord.
-
To compile a list of names and addresses of people who would be willing to volunteer their services.
