Weekly Attendance: 85

Location: Van Alstyne, Texas

The Role: Lead Pastor

Meet Church Project- Van Alstyne:

Church Project (global) began in 2010 with 40 people in The Woodlands, TX. Since then, avoiding marketing strategies or typical growth models, Church Project The Woodlands would grow to over 5,000 people, help plant 20+ Churches and 100+ House Churches, and give away millions of dollars to church plants and ministry partners.

Church Project Van Alstyne officially launched in January 2023 with a small group of people committed to pursuing this biblical ecclesiology as a church of house churches. In mid-2022, they started as couples, singles, children, and seniors, meeting together to live out the Gospel with each other – sharing joys, sorrows, challenges, and victories as they walk through life. Though imperfect, they know that following Christ means loving others more than ourselves and serving each other sacrificially, as needed. Gathering together as a larger, collective group of house churches on Sundays is their way to worship together, celebrate God’s goodness, and explore ways to reach out to love and serve the local community.
