Church attendance increases by 70 percent since moving into their new building February 7th:
“We were blown away”, says Pat Hunt, worship leader of Parkway Fellowship Church. When Pat called us to let us know how their grand opening went, we were surprised as well when he told us that they are now ministering to as many as 850 people.
For several years, the church has been meeting at Cinco Ranch High School cafeteria and has had a regular attendance of around 500. According to Pat, the church leaders were expecting 700 during the grand opening. However, to their surprise, since Parkway Fellowship moved into their new building, they have had a regular attendance of 850.
More Services
Mr. Hunt told us that their church is adding a second Sunday service to their schedule. So, beginning March 21st, their schedule will include services at 9:15 am and 10:45 am. They will have children and youth events at each time as well.
Parking Lot Expansion is Planned
To accommodate the additional attendance, the church is adding parking for up to 54 additional cars. The added parking should be enough for over 170 people.
Future plans for managing the growth include moving the nursery to a new building. Such a move could allow Parkway Fellowship to seat as many as 200 more people. “It’s a good problem to have”, says Pat.
Parkway Fellowship is pastored by Mike McGown. Their website is: http://www.parkwayfellowship.com.
