A 2 Year Plan for
Preston Road Church of Christ

Our staff, elders, and servant leaders have been planning and praying since spring of 2024, and we are excited to announce a 2-year theme plan. Our first year (2024-2025) will take us DEEP, and our second year (2025-2026) will take us WIDE.

As we go “Wide”, this year, we want to go “Beyond the Walls” of our church and serve our community. Our goal is to serve 3,000 hours as a church by August 2026.
