Prestonwood Opens New Campus

More than 1,700 people attended the first Prestonwood North service in Prosper, TX, about 17 miles north of the megachurch's main campus in Plano.

According to the Dallas News, after more than two years of setting up and taking down their sanctuary each week at Prosper High School, a group of Prestonwood Baptist Church members now have a new building to call home.

The Rev. Jack Graham, Prestonwood's senior pastor, presided over the first 9:30 a.m. service at Prestonwood North and told attendees that "the new campus is a way for us to grow our faith ... and still have the Prestonwood experience."

Dr. Graham occasionally paced the stage and told the congregation that this new church home is more than an idea in a new building. "This is not a human vision, but the mission and vision of Jesus Christ," Dr. Graham said...

After his sermon, Dr. Graham asked to be excused so he could rush down the tollway to preside over the 11 a.m. service in Plano, which is on a 130-acre campus with more than 26,000 members. It is one of the largest churches in the United States.

Before leaving Dr. Graham turned the microphone over to Prestonwood North Pastor Marc Rylander, who encouraged everyone to tour the 77,000-square-foot facility’s Sunday school classrooms, day care and children’s play area.

I'm a chronic workaholic, love to connect leaders with other leaders, and would consider myself somewhat of a 'maven'. Hopefully you'll find something here at MMI you'll like and will return often. If you want, you can find out more about me or follow my every step.
