Prestonwood Move in D Magazine 35th Anniversary

Prestonwood is in D Magazine! In the newsstands now is an issue celebrating the magazine’s 35th anniversary.

The cover story is “The 35 Biggest Moments in Modern Dallas History.” And the magazine's editors selected Prestonwood's move to Plano as one of those moments. So a few weeks ago I was asked to write about that watershed moment in the history of Prestonwood.

Here’s an excerpt, and a link to the magazine above, but go pick up a copy!

I shudder to think what would have happened had we stayed where we were. We would have limited the church’s potential and the possibilities for it to fulfill the Great Commission. The Prestonwood family didn’t resist—we believed, we trusted, and God provided for us every step of the way.

I am grateful for the privilege of being the pastor of this great church and to be blessed with the opportunity to reach this region and the world for Christ. God is not finished with Prestonwood. He brought us to Hebron Road for a reason. In the Bible, the word Hebron means “face to face with God.” I’ve sensed that we’ve come face to face with God in this place.
