Church Highlights
Learn more about these churches

Country Chapel Stirring the Waters

2021 has been a fantastic year for Country Chapel Baptist Church next door to the LaPoyner School. They have baptized 15 people so far this year. It’s a good thing pastor Charles Turner powder coated their baptistry. God is doing great things and they have their eye on some much needed education space.

New Life Iglesia Bautista

New Life in Athens fills up Sundays with worship and service. On Sunday nights, this 3-year-old church is providing food for over 100 people. Pastor Jesus Rios is leading his church to stay on mission locally and internationally with three church starts in Mexico.

Calvary Baptist Church

Pastor Vergil Morgan came to East Texas from Florida with a heart to see churches revitalized. God opened the door for him to team up with the people in Calvary Baptist Church in Wells. God has been opening doors for the church in a lot of ways. Exterior projects are ongoing to update the building and inside the sense of joy grows each week as God continues to bring in new people.
