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.

Watch the kickoff sermon from August 18, 2024
