Our Pastors

Jim Johnson - Senior Pastor
Jim spent 12 years pastoring large churches in the Southeast before returning home to Texas in 2002. While he never lost his Texas state of mind, he valued his time outside the state because it gave him the opportunity to relate to people from different parts of the country. Jim's passion is communicating the unchanging love of God in our rapidly changing culture. For 25 years he has specialized in bringing practical truths from God's Word to people who are new to church or are reconnecting to church after a time away. He received his PhD from Baylor University. Jim and his wife, Robin, have three sons and live in Frisco.

Paul Basden - Senior Pastor
Paul is a native Texan who moved around to Virginia and Alabama before ending up back in the Lone Star State. He met his wonderful wife, Denise, while studying at Baylor University. They have two daughters: Kari, an aspiring musician in Dallas, and Kristen, a student at Quad-C. He enjoys crossword puzzles, sports on TV, movies, books, food (especially chocolate), laughing, and his 13 year-old Sheltie named Chloe. His work at PTCC includes teaching at the weekend services, heading up Life Groups, and working with the greatest staff anywhere.
