Travis Avenue Baptist Church

What Travis Avenue Baptist Church does

Travis Avenue Baptist Church is an autonomous Southern Baptist congregation headquartered at 800 W. Berry St., Fort Worth, Texas, founded in 1911, operating three concurrent Sunday 10:30 AM worship services — a Choir & Orchestra-led service in the Sanctuary, a Band-led service in the Great Room, and a Spanish-language service (Adoración Española / Travis en Español) in the Lower Sanctuary — alongside a 9:00 AM Sunday morning small-group program, Wednesday Night Dinner and midweek programming, and an elder-led governance model. The church serves a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multi-language community across all life stages through dedicated ministries including Preschool (Blessed Expectations), Kids, Students (grades 6–12), College (anchored at TCU), Senior Adults, Women's GROW mentoring, and a Christian Early Learning Center / Wednesdays of Wonder weekday preschool; it also operates the Travis Institute Ministry Residency (a one-year Up/In/Out formation pipeline) and the Relentless Mission initiative supporting church planting and global partnerships with the International Mission Board and North American Mission Board. Its technology stack is built on a Squarespace-hosted website with SharePoint video modules for membership doctrinal training, ShelbyGiving / Shelby Next CHMS for online tithes and program registrations, Breezy HR for residency applications, Mailchimp for newsletters, MinistrySafe for child-serving volunteer screening, and Remind for student ministry SMS, with sermon and worship distribution via Travis Live streaming, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Anchor FM, and YouTube. The revenue model is donation-led: recurring tithes and general offerings (including a covenant commitment of "cheerful, regular, systematic, proportionate, and liberal" giving processed through ShelbyGiving), designated above-tithe World Missions Offering (first $50K to Travis mission partners, then 70% IMB / 30% NAMB), the Wings Scholarship fund for mission-trip subsidies, tuition-based CELC preschool, fee-based Camp Travis ($400–$500 per student), and modest Wednesday Night Family Dinner sales ($8 adult / $3 child / $20 family max); the customer base is the active membership and surrounding Fort Worth community, with no external ownership, equity, or investor cap table because it is a nonprofit religious organization.

Regional players

• Gateway Church: Large multisite evangelical church headquartered in Southlake, TX, just north of Fort Worth. Direct regional competitor for Fort Worth Tarrant County attendees with overlapping ministry programming for all life stages.
• Watermark Community Church: Large non-denominational multisite church based in Plano/Dallas serving the broader DFW market. Comparable scale and life-stage ministry breadth but operates outside Fort Worth and competes for the same metro attendance pool.
• Highland Park United Methodist Church:

Direct peers

• First Baptist Dallas: Large historic Southern Baptist-affiliated church in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex with comparable multi-generational ministries, downtown congregation model, and expository preaching tradition. Most directly comparable denominational peer in the same regional market.
