The Preston Trail Story

Preston Trail Community Church began in the hearts of our founding pastors, Jim Johnson and Paul Basden. In late 2001 they were simply two pastors serving churches back east in Birmingham (Paul) and Atlanta (Jim). By early 2002, they had moved their families to Frisco to start a brand new church, with no sponsoring church, no people, no money, no land, and no building. In church-planting lingo, that's called a "cold" church start! But within six months they had brought together 40 people to help launch Preston Trail Community Church, which offered its first service to the public on Sunday September 8, 2002.

That first service was Dude Ranch (later KidStreet), a children's theatrical presentation where kids and parents learn about God together. In January 2003 Sunday worship services began. In time, ministries to preschoolers, teenage students, and 20-somethings were added. Since its inception PTCC met at AMC Theatre 24 in Stonebriar Centre. On February 6, 2006 we purchased the former PC Dynamics building on Main Street east of Preston.

On December 24, 2006 we moved into our new facility on Main Street east of Preston (read more). We look forward to seeing how God will use our growing congregation in our local community and beyond.
