Ribbon Cuttings

Ribbon Cuttings are a great way for our Chamber Members to meet and greet new business openings in DeKalb. Typically, the latest one will be featured here at the top of the page.

Brew Bliss, 123 N Runnels St., DeKalb arranged quite a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for downtown DeKalb. For those that don't know, she opened up her store in the old Barrett Grocery Building on N Runnels St. Instead of having "just" a Ribbon Cutting occasion, she decided to also have a "Christmas in July" within her large building for lots of local Vendors. Usually Saturday mornings on N Runnels St are pretty quite and always plenty of parking spaces - Whew - not today!!! Runnels St was packed with cars - Vendors, customers, shoppers, etc. So great when people come out to Shop Local!! Sara certainly created quite the day!

Austin Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, 9668 FM 1840, DeKalb, TX 75559

A Ribbon Cutting was held today, April 21, 2024 for their newly constructed youth ministries building. This idea came together and was started with fence lines being cleaned off in late 2022. Since that time, gradual constructions took place with surveying, concrete slab, erection of the steel building itself and completion and usage in less than 18 months! Direct link to this story HERE

Austin Chapel Missionary Baptist Church is located in the rural community it shares it's name with, about 3 miles southeast of DeKalb, Texas. Founded in 1915 in a church building we briefly shared with a local Methodist congregation, Austin Chapel Baptist Church began it's ministry. Since then, we have been furthering God's ministry to the De Kalb community and abroad through outreach and missions. 

Through multiple additions and two new church buildings, we have always allowed God to work through us in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our location has not changed and neither has our message. We are still in the heart of the Austin Chapel community and we still proclaim Jesus as the only path to the Father. 

With a bold faith we are marching forward into a day and age that doesn't want to see church growth. But God rewards those that are not ashamed of sharing His gospel with the world. We are expanding once again to further our ability to share Jesus with our community.
