After much praying and discussions, the painful decision was made that for this facility to continue to be a place of worship, and services to God, that we are turning the facility and assets over to the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention-Foundation, which will hold and maintain the facility, with the expressed purpose of re-planting a new Southern Baptist Congregation here as soon as possible."Photographed by J Frye2.
