About
The Beacon Church of Christ is located near beautiful Cedar Creek Lake in Gun Barrel City Texas. The congregation was established here just after the building of the lake in 1973. We have a modern meeting facility equipped with visual presentation system in our auditorium that seats 300 people. We have class rooms for all age groups we also have a “multipurpose” room that is used for classes, fellowships, youth events, etc. For those with toddlers we have a "training room with a sound system that open to the auditorium.
We are deeply committed to bringing the gospel of Christ to our community (Matthew 28:18-20). To accomplish this we offer worship services on Sunday and we have Bible classes on Sunday and Wednesday evening. We also offer 5th Sunday "Friends Day" every month that has 5 Sundays year. We attend Camp Ida the first week of June each year. We have a Family Bible School in July. Also we participate in the East Texas Summer Youth Series each summer. In addition to these areas we have monthly fellowships to which all are welcome. Additionally we assist the works of area congregations. We support several missionaries and also support student preachers. It is hoped that in each of these ways we touch our community with the “good news” of Christ.
