MINISTRIES Associational Camps - We have two camps each summer at Spring Lake. One week is for youth and the following week is for pre-teen's. Each year we see hundreds of youth and children come to a Christian environment where they are challenged to increase their faith in Christ and enjoy fellowship with other campers. One of the greatest joys is to see campers come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Baptist Colligate Ministry - We support three BCM's on college campuses; National Park Community College; Henderson State ; and Ouachita Tech. These BCM's actively minister to students on campus through weekday Bible studies, noon meals, and just being available to listen to them and meet needs. They are also involved in mission trips in the summer and on spring breaks. The BCM's give us an excellent opportunity to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ across our college campuses. Cowboy Church - Cross Bar C Cowboy Church is a newly organized Western Heritage Church located in Benton Arkansas. They currently meet at the Saline County Fairgrounds each Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. Worship services reflect the Western Heritage Culture while at the same time exalting our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The worship atmosphere is relaxed, yet reverent. Dress is casual with boots, hats, and jeans, the norm. Cross Bar C Cowboy Church is affiliated with the Arkansas Baptist State Convention and Central Baptist Association. Christian Social Ministries -
Is a ministry that takes place in the communities of Dixsonville
and Jones Mill. A church has been built in Dixsonville. Worship services
are conducted on Sundays and Wednesday nights.
We provide weekday ministries to the women and tutoring for the
children. In the summer
we conduct VBS. A feeding program is conducted two separate weeks at Dixsonville
and Jones Mill. Volunteers from First Southern Baptist Church in
Magnet Cove and Shorewood Hills Baptist Church help with Sunday morning
and Wednesday evening activities at Jones Mill. The association is also involved in the Mississippi River Ministry. Continuing Education -We
offer Seminary Extension classes for our pastors and laypeople in our churches.
Currently we have classes
being held in Benton and Hot Springs.
The association covers a
portion of the cost of each course. Disaster Relief Unit -
We are a Recovery Unit for the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
Our unit stands ready to assist in areas where a disaster has hit.
This ministry is organized through our associational Men's
Ministry. Family and Senior Adult - We
have two Senior Adult rallies each year.
We also have at times, special workshops dealing with the family. Hispanic Ministries - We have three Hispanic congregations in our association. One group meets in Hot Springs, one in Malvern, and one in Benton. Every week brings new opportunities to meet new people who have arrived from other countries. There is always the challenge to minister to these people with the gospel and help them find jobs. New Beginning's Pregnancy
Resource Center - This ministry helps women who are in a
crisis pregnancy. The volunteers provide encouragement and help
restore dignity, self-worth and purpose to each woman's life as they
assist her throughout her pregnancy. It is a place where, because of
Christ's love, there is concern for the mother as well as the unborn
child. Traveler's Chapel - This ministry takes place at JJ's Truck Stop on I-30 between Benton and Malvern. A Chapel has been built at the Truck Stop and services are conducted there every Sunday morning. Volunteers walk the parking lot every Sunday inviting truckers and other travelers to attend the worship service. We continue to see truckers come to know Christ and others who have recommitted their lives to the Lord.
