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?
How are we going to do it, and when?
First, we’ll raise needed funds: Winter-Spring 2021.
Then, we’ll build the facility: Spring 2021.
Finally, we’ll dedicate and celebrate what God has done: May 2021.
What can I do?
Pray it: that God will do through us beyond what we can imagine, for His honor and glory, and for the people whose lives will be changed!
Tell it: let your friends know at church and on social media about the need, the project, and the vision—children, youth and adults coming to Christ through something we’ve built together!
Give it: give an offering to help the vision become reality—and invite friends to do the same!
Build it: we need skilled and unskilled labor from across the 56 churches in Christian, Stone and Taney County.
