Around Bee Cave THE CHURCH AT BEE CAVE: THE SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH THAT “HAD ME AT HELLO”! By Martha Ballariano
Antebellum Oaks is a beautiful hill country jewel tucked away in the country just a couple of minutes from the RR 620 that on Sundays at 10:15 am is home to The Church at Bee Cave, the most friendly church I have ever been in. On June 24th-26th the church offered a wonderful 3-day Cowboy themed Vacation Bible School (VBS) and my daughter was one of the 60 kids that happily participated. The kids learned some Bible stories and also enjoyed a variety of fun games and activities like singing and dancing, bobbing for apples, sack racing, nerf can shooting, water balloon toss etc. The VBS was so much fun that it resembled more an authentic kid Texan camp than a VBS. After years of attending mega-churches, and getting used to them, I was pleasantly surprised after my daughter’s insistence we attended a service on a Sunday at 10:15am. The folks at The Church at Bee Cave were so friendly that they made us feel right at home. The Church at Bee Cave was started 5 years ago by 11 families from Lakeway and surrounding areas. They wanted to have a church that felt more like a family and could be flexible enough to be mission oriented. Under the direction of Matt Peacock, Lead Pastor, the church has and now has the Children’s ministry, Youth ministry, small groups and “Partners in Hope”. “Partners in Hope” is an organization that mobilizes the people and resources of the Lake Travis community to serve one family in need at a time, providing hope for a meaningful life on a firm foundation. From the beauty of the surroundings at Antebellum Oaks with its mature trees, ponds, and small waterfalls, to the warmth of its people, The Church at Bee Caves had me at Hello!
