Traditions

When a church has existed for awhile, traditions develop, many of which contribute to the character of the congregation. These traditions aren't gospel, but can be delightful and sometimes important in the life of the church.

Family Retreat:

Every year on the last full weekend in March, about 400 people load up their cars and head to our church family retreat at the beautiful HEB Camp in Leakey, Texas. Activities include singing, praise, guest speakers, Bible study, family time, sports, swimming, fishing and filling up on great food. If you can only make one special event per year, this is it. More information is found on the Family Retreat page.

Women’s Retreat:

Usually held the last full weekend in February, this is a highlight of our ministry for women. Held in such places as Fredericksburg and Salado, activities include Bible study, prayer, guest speakers, games, shopping, and yes, chocolate … lots of chocolate.

Men’s Retreat:

This retreat is usually held in August. This is a time of great fellowship, fishing, Bible study, prayer, guest speakers and golf. No chocolate, but certainly BBQ.

Dedication of children: 

This event is celebrated on a Sunday in March when, as parents and members of BOCC, we stand to reaffirm our commitments to the children among us. Those participating are parents of children born since our last celebration and families with young children who have become members since the previous year’s event. We invite parents to bring these children before the congregation so that together we might reaffirm our commitment to be godly parents and a church who cares for all its children.
