Getting to GABC South
The first thing you need to do is get here!
Green Acres Baptist Church South is located at 1010 CR 137, Flint, TX 75762. We are on top of the hill, northwest of the intersection of US Highway 69 and FM 346, the first stop light outside the Tyler city limits.
From South Tyler: We are located on the right (west) side of Highway 69, 2.4 miles from Loop 49.
From Bullard: We are located on the left (west) side of Highway 69, 6 miles from the Bullard Brookshires.
From Flint & Whitehouse: Take FM 346 to US Highway 69. Turn North on 69, and GABC South will be across the highway on your left (west) at the top of the hill.
Highway 69 Construction: Our stretch of Highway 69 is getting a new overpass, which means the easy access to GABC South has gone away. If you're coming from the South, you'll have to drive a little past the south campus and then crossover. You can either go directly across and enter into the ROC, and come up the back way to GABC South (recommended), or you can make a u-turn back on to 69, and then turn right onto CR 137.

Find Your Spot
Parking & Entering
Park anywhere! At Green Acres South, every parking spot is close, so find a spot and come on in!
You can enter GABC South's parking by coming in the main entrance off of County Road 137, or by entering the Recreation Outreach Center (ROC) entrance and coming up the back road to the West Parking Lot.
MOBILITY IMPAIRED parking is available in front near the canopy and down the west side of the building.
Reserved parking for GUESTS is available in front of the South Campus around the triangle.
If the weather is bad, feel free to drive through the canopy and drop off the family before going to park. Just, please do not leave your vehicle unattended so as to not block the drive through.
To ensure the safety of those attending GABC South, our East and West side doors remain locked, but our welcome team will be nearby to open the doors for those who come to the sides 20 minutes before SMBS and before worship. Guests are always encouraged to enter through the front entrances.
We're happy to see yoU!
Welcome TEAM
Our Welcome Team is ready to welcome you to Green Acres South and answer any questions you might have. You can find them at all of our entrances and at the Welcome Center located in the east lobby. They will have some information for you and will be available to answer your questions. If you arrive for Sunday Connect Groups, they will be happy to help you find your classes. If you arrive for worship, they will be happy to help you find a seat.
Our Campus Pastor, Dustin Slaton, tries to get around to every guest before the service, but sometimes he can't get around to everyone. He always stands near the canopy entrance at the end of services, and looks forward to meeting you. He even has a gift for you!

It's All About Him
Worship Experience
At Green Acres South, we have a great worship time led by our music team. The music is an up-beat, band led, blended style, incorporating classic hymns and new songs to bring our diverse members together in worship. There will typically be something different in each service, whether it is a special time or prayer or a focus on something God has done. You'll hear a challenging, encouraging, biblical message from GABC Senior Pastor David Dykes, Teaching Pastor Michael Gossett, or South Campus Pastor Dustin Slaton.
For a more complete description of our worship time, check out our Worship Page.
Your little ones are important to us
Kids & Safety
At Green Acres South, children are a top priority! That's why we strive to provide a clean, safe, and fun environment where they can be taught the truths of Christ.
We provide nursery care for newborns to Pre-K children during Connect Groups, Sunday morning worship and Wednesday evening activities.
We use a computer check-in system to provide a safe and secure drop-off and pick-up process to ensure that your children are only returned to an authorized adult. If this is your first time, you can sign in as a guest. If you plan to come back in the future, you can fill out a registration form and we will put you in the system for next time. You can set up an account for your children at the check-in computer near the kid's area.
