Hunt Retreat

34711 Hunt Rd, Fulshear, Texas 77441

You might call Hunt Retreat in Brookshire, TX, our church's first multisite campus. Worship services and Life Bible Studies may not be held there each Sunday, but since the mid-'70s, ministry has happened on those 14.7 acres just 40 miles west of The Loop Campus.

In August 2013, the next chapter in the story of Hunt Retreat began when a new retreat center was unveiled — an entirely new structure that took nearly two years to plan, design, build, and dream.

Hunt Retreat is available for use by Ministries of Houston's First Baptist Church, as well as other Christian churches and non-profit Christian organizations.

For more information or to make a reservation, contact Melissa Murrell at 713.957.6709 or Melissa.Murrell@HoustonsFirst.org .
