COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS
 
The majority of our members are  middle-class. School Creek Baptist Church is located in a farming and ranching community. In the past twenty-five years, the community has become more diversified. Many people have moved into the community to retire; some of these simply like the country atmosphere. Military personnel, Fort Hood civilian workers, school teachers in our local schools in Lampasas, Copperas Dove and Killeen, and people of various other occupations make up our church congregation. People drive to the church from neighboring towns of Lampasas and Kempner, driving from eighteen to twenty miles. More than fifty percent of our members are over fifty years old.
