Bent Tree Family
We have so much to celebrate! In this annual report, you’ll find encouraging data that provides a little insight into the many things God has done in and through Bent Tree over the past ministry year (August 2024-July 2025). We’ve seen an increase in weekly attendance as well as growing involvement in groups - especially in the areas of special needs, students, and adults! There’s so much life happening, not just on our campus but in the homes, neighborhoods, and communities where Bent Tree-ers live.
It takes a lot to make it all happen. We’ve seen many new folks step into serving in all of our ministry areas and have begun our focus on discipleship because we know that God is at work in our midst, not just expanding the number of people who call Bent Tree home but also growing us deeper in our understanding of who he is, who we are in him, and his heart for the world.
At Bent Tree, we view discipleship as an integral part in the life and faith of every believer. Discipleship is a lifelong journey of intentionally discovering who Jesus is, who we are in him, and the joy of intimacy with him; Actively depending on the Holy Spirit as he transforms us from within into Christ’s likeness; Joyfully partnering with Jesus as he lives through us and sends us into the world for his purposes.
I love getting to celebrate with you as we reflect over the past year and continue to step into all God is leading us towards - as we become who we are already are in Christ!

Missions
We sent 94 Adults and Students
In the past year, we've been all about living out our mission to experience and share the love of Jesus. We sent 94 adults and students on eight mission journeys. We teamed up with our supported mission partners right here in Dallas and went as far as Cuba. These journeys aren't just about going places; they're about making a real impact. Whether it's helping out in our Dallas community or working with mission partners across the globe, these journeys are what our mission is all about—experiencing and sharing the love of Jesus.
