| Welcome |
The Indian Falls Creek Baptist Assembly was begun in 1947 and has met on the Falls Creek grounds every year since that date except 1955 when it met at Kiamichi Baptist Assembly, Talihina.
Registration at the first encampment totaled 333 and today has several thousand in attendance. Each year Native American and First Nations brothers and sisters come from all over the United States and North America.
From year to year the camp will even have indigenous believers from South America and countries from around the globe. The five-day camp starts on a Monday and runs through Friday. Costs are kept to a minimum to allow all who desire to attend to participate. Each year many children, youth, and adults find eternal life through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Each day is started with a sunrise service and devotion, followed by a morning full of worship, Bible study, and conferences pertinent to Native Christians. Each afternoon is full of recreation as Indian Churches team up for softball and volleyball tournaments. For those wishing to escape the heat of the Oklahoma sun, the swimming area is a welcomed relief.
The evening is filled with worship and late evening cabin devotions leaving everyone ready for lights out by 11:30 p.m. We hope you can come be a part!
