Super Summer is the premiere leadership training opportunity for students from Texas Baptist churches. Students (from grades 7-12) who have trusted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and who have a desire to grow in their leadership abilities will benefit from the powerful experiences of Bible study, worship, prayer, fellowship, and leadership development that Super Summer offers. This is an opportunity for our students to join with hundreds of students from other Texas Baptist churches to sharpen our leadership skills in ways that we can put into practice right here in our church and our community!

Spots are extremely limited! Please register here by March 26. Email Alyson Davidson for financial needs.
