Fort Pentecost
Share
Started in 1984 in the heart of Amish country. Tex Pentecost's own little piece of Texas. Fort Pentecost runs entirely on donations. The Fort is always open.
There are no fees to visit the Fort. Through donations of money, materials, and labor the Fort is being revitalized. We are so very thankful for everyone's generosity and support. If you visit the Fort, we ask you to leave all building props inside the buildings, pick up after yourself, and take your trash out with you when you leave. The church is a place for reflection and prayer. Please respect
Today on Flag Day, we remember that patriotism is more than flying a flag—it’s showing kindness, helping others, and taking pride in where we come from. Like Tex, may we honor our country with gratitude and heart. 🇺🇸

Happy New Year!
As 2025 comes to an end, may we all be thankful and grateful for the blessings we have been given. May the tears of sadness this year brought be replaced with tears of joy and happiness in the coming year. Be safe, be brave, and be resilient—but most of all, be kind.
Happy New Year, and God bless.
Merry Christmas to all! Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and special moments.
