White River Baptist Association consists of 33 churches in 2 counties in northern Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains. Baxter and Marion Counties are known for their beauty as three rivers and two major lakes are located within their borders. The 31 churches are known for their commitment to Being On Mission from these Ozarks to the rest of the World!
We have had a great time so far with our own young people inviting their friends to a campout church on the river, several 'preacher' groups, and of course our youth pastor and several others not even needing a reason to go. . . .so. . . we are ready to invite (again) anyone out there that would like to bring a group down to Rea Valley for a wonderful time of fishing, and worship. If any of your groups would like to do a float trip (short or long) we are prepared. We have guides, outfitters, lodging arrangements, singing and preaching available. We would love to help you use our beautiful area to reach your friends for Christ.
