GABC South

Green Acres South provides an alternative campus for people to worship, study, and be involved in spiritual growth in a smaller setting closer to home while retaining all the benefits of being a part of the larger Green Acres family.

As a part of Green Acres Baptist Church, Green Acres South exists to extend the message of the Gospel of Christ and to minister to the families of South Tyler and southern Smith and northern Cherokee Counties.
