Meet Church Project:

Church Project Van Alstyne was planted in January 2023 by 20 families on a mission to rethink church and return to the essence of leading, gathering and living the way Christ and the early church intended.

We pursue the biblical, simple, powerful early church model of church. The early church gathered weekly by the thousands in a simple way to study the Scriptures, pray, and give, so we do similar Sunday Gatherings. The early church gathered by the dozens in House Churches to live in a diverse discipleship community, so we gather similarly in House Churches. The early church gave their lives and money to do ministry, so we serve and give through Ministry Partnerships.
