Church Planting Center
In partnership with the Baptist General Convention of Texas & partner churches, we provide a 42-week long course focused to equip men with the spiritual & practical skills needed for church planting. Our center is dual language (English/Spanish).
Annual Gatherings
The Annual Gatherings are yearly conferences culminating the year’s theme & casting vision for the next year. This 1-day conference serves everyone in our association. We have worship, breakout sessions, a keynote session, and a ministry fair.
Quarterly Gatherings
Each quarter, pastors and ministry leaders enjoy a meal provided by a partner church, discuss associational business, and welcome a guest speaker.
Coffee & Conversations
The pastors in our association come together every quarter to enjoy purposeful fellowship over coffee & conversations. We believe that healthy churches need healthy pastors.
Pastor’s Wife Fellowship
Being a pastor’s wife carries a special burden. We provide support of women in these shoes through quarterly socials that form lasting relationships.
