This year, we celebrate 175 years of sharing the Heart of Christ from the Heart of McKinney! It’s a great time to look back at all that we have accomplished. Together, we have weathered disasters, grown and changed, celebrated and mourned. Please take a look at some of the special offerings our members have put together to celebrate the history of our church!
