The church in McKinney isn’t our name – it’s our description. As such, it’s an inclusive title, not an exclusive one. We gather together simply as believers of the Lord in the city of McKinney, and we receive as our brothers and sisters all who believe in Jesus Christ. Likewise, we warmly welcome guests and visitors who are not Christians.
As early as 2012, the saints had a strong feeling to look at Frisco for a meeting hall. The Lord made it very clear that it should be in McKinney first. Even after McKinney took the ground in 2014 there was a feeling to continue to look at Frisco. The goal for McKinney at the time is that it would have a small meeting hall and that it would be more of a footstool to the north and east Texas.
In 2017, the property at 3755 Cottonwood St was purchased for $750,000.00 which included 1.89 acres and a 4 bedroom sister’s house. We paid cash for it from the giving of the saints and from a private loan. The agreement was that we would pay off the loan before we would start the construction. In 2019, we paid off the remaining balance and began to start the all the preplanning process. After some outside opposition that lasted roughly two years, we began to break ground around November 2023.
During the first 6 months, we encountered a lot of delays, including rain and engineering hurdles. In May 2024, the foundation was finally poured. This was a major milestone for the progress. Another major milestones is the completion of the detention pond in July 2024.
As we stand today, the drives and parking lot is being prepared which is expected to be poured in the first part of September followed by the framing, roof, windows and so on. Lord willing, the brothers believe that the meeting hall should be completed in December 2024 while still maintaining the updated budget of $2,100,000.00. This is for the Lords continual move to the North.
Please continue to stand with us in prayer.
Total Budget $2,100,000
Received as of 9/30/2024 $1,736,000
Remaining Balance $ 364,000

Our small groups are at the heart of our church life and community. Small groups are characterized by a vital spiritual pursuit, an intimate loving atmosphere, and a committed goal of spiritual fruit-bearing (John 15:12:17). Groups organically form and develop across the city, across all ages, and across all ethnicities.
