"Our goal at Southlake Baptist Church was to create an organization like Southlake S.W.A.T. that capitalizes on the enormous resources of different constituencies in Southlake that typically don't work together--and create a sense of community and team work for the betterment of the city", said Clayton Reed, Southlake Baptist Preaching Pastor.

S.W.A.T. (Southlake Working As a Team) is a grassroots movement of Southlake churches, businesses, organizations and individuals who partner together to make Southlake a better place.
