A Place to Meet the Creator

From here, forever looks a whole lot different than some of those straight, long roads that lead you here. Forever looks like hills, valleys, hardwood trees and shrubs, bright blue skies and incredible sunsets. In fact, some of the best views in Texas are right outside our front and back door. And, some of your views of forever might change here as well. Take Billy, a fourth grader who had his first serious encounter with God here. His view of forever changed… forever. Then there’s Frank and Hilda. Their marriage was in trouble. Times were tough and things weren’t looking up. They came to Ceta Canyon broken – but left with hope renewed and a whole new view of forever.
