About the North Texas Chapter
The North Texas Chapter is comprised of 200+ members, and a Chapter Board of 7, all committed to the ideals of Florida College and the service of our youth.
We oversee our Texas Summer and Winter Camps. Each summer, 500+ youth (age 9 to 18) attend a week long summer camp—the best week of the year! Focusing on growing in Christ and building treasured memories and relationships with fellow young people, counselors, and staff.
​
Sixty counselors and staff volunteers dedicate an entire week each summer (plus many hours of preparation) to lead and serve in the spiritual development of our youth. Each day of camp, counselors teach three classes or devotionals to build faith in Christ and strong spiritual relationships.

The Need...
In 2023, out of necessity, we transitioned away from our camp location of three decades at Camp Hensel in Marble Falls to Arrowhead Camp in Cleburne. The move to Arrowhead proved to be successful, and we are optimistic about the future with Arrowhead Camp as our summer camp location.
​
For many years the largest fund raiser for the North Texas Chapter has been Junior and Senior Camp. While it became prudent and necessary to move to our new location, we now face the reality of a $20,000 - $30,000 decrease of net operating funds, impacting all the areas of our work.
That's where you come in.
We are looking for a few individuals who are moved by the worthy causes that the North Texas Chapter gives diligence to serve.
You are invited.
Millennium Falcons is an invitation only group of individuals who are moved to partner with the North Texas Chapter. “Falcons” refers to the mascot of Florida College. We have come to realize that there are many individuals who love Florida College, its mission, and how The North Texas Chapter locally serves this mission of Florida College. We also realize that there are many who help quietly without fan fair, including the help of their financial resources.
​
If you are moved by Florida College and how the North Texas Chapter serves its mission, this invitation is for you.
Millennium Falcons is a small private group of servants who wish to donate $1,000 per year to the North Texas Chapter of the Hutchinson Bell. We are looking for 20-30 members.
Members will receive updates on the work that we do together.
The leadership of Florida College is casting a vision for us to team together into the next decade and beyond. If you choose to become a Millennium Falcon member and you are inspired by the work we do together, we pray you consider teaming up with us for the future.
