Imagine a place where children, young people and adults can worship God in a beautiful outdoor setting–that’s the worship amphitheater at Baptist Hill Assembly. Summer camps, church retreats, and other Christian groups will turn this hillside into a place of praise unto the King of Kings, all because God’s people gave or lent a hand.
What is Baptist Hill Assembly?
Baptist Hill Assembly is a year-round Christian campground and retreat center set in the rich timber Ozarks hills 30 miles west of Springfield, Missouri, near the town of Mt. Vernon. Baptist Hill has seen thousands come to know Christ as Savior and deepen their walk with Him since its founding over a century ago.
Baptist Hill’s facilities include bunk houses and motel-type lodging for guests, RV park, dining hall, a large worship center and teaching pavilions. Its recreational facilities include a swimming pool and water slide, ball field, basketball court and hiking trails.
Every Summer, children and youth from all over southwest Missouri make their way to “the Hill” for fun-filled days designed to strengthen body and soul: outdoor activities like swimming, archery and canoeing; and Spirit-building experiences of worship, Bible study and missions education.
In the Fall, Winter and Spring, senior adults, college students, and church groups make the Hill their preferred place to deepen their fellowship and to grow closer to God.
Why build an amphitheater for Baptist Hill?
Central to everything that happens at the Hill is worship. The Covid-19 crisis has placed severe limitations on how churches can use the facilities at the Hill. An amphitheater will create a space that will provide new possibilities for outdoor worship, Bible studies, and Christian concerts and events.
Why should Tri-County do it?


With the help of some very dedicated, hard-working people, all of the seating is now in place and the worship amphitheater is almost complete. Final steps: erosion control work (building frames and moving gravel).
One Tri-County church recently donated $1000 to the project, and wants to challenge others to make a financial contribution to help us “get over the hump”. For more information on Project 34:11 or to make a donation, click on the photo.
Mark your calendar! We’ll dedicate this space to the worship of our great Savior on May 21 with a meal, special music, prayers, and message. All are welcome!

1) building frames for erosion control gravel
