July 2026 Newsletter

Dear Beloved Members, Pastors, and Supporters,

Change is a part of life and ministry. Sometimes it comes unexpectedly, and sometimes it arrives as a reminder that God is continuing to open new doors for future opportunities.

Over the next few weeks, the Corpus Christi Baptist Association will be relocating its offices to a shared ministry space at Brighton Park Baptist Church, located at 3418 Airline Drive, effective August 1, 2026.

This move represents more than just a change of address. It is an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, maximize resources, and continue serving our churches in ways that advance the Kingdom of God throughout our city.

As we prepare for this transition, we also want to express our sincere gratitude to Jen Pattillo. For the past several years, Jen has been a steady and faithful presence in the life of the Association. Her dedication, servant’s heart, and commitment to excellence have blessed our churches and ministry partners in countless ways. We are grateful for her service and pray God’s richest blessings on her as she begins a new chapter.

While change can bring mixed emotions, we move forward with confidence. God has been faithful in the past, He is faithful today, and He will be faithful tomorrow. We are thankful for where He has brought us, excited about where He is leading us, and convinced that the best is yet to come.

Thank you for your continued prayers, partnership, and support as we take these next steps together.
