Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church

A vibrant community blossomed. That’s the story of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church. In 1950 109 people signed the charter. Within a year membership soared to 223. Services were held at Texas Country Day School now St Mark’s School of Texas. The Presbytery initially secured land on Tibbs and Stichter streets. This land was designated for future churches. This land was gifted to the fledgling Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church. However some forward-thinking members proposed a trade. They traded the original site for an acre at Preston and Aberdeen. They believed this location was far more suitable for growth. The first building campaign launched in 1951. Early members showed remarkable dedication. They even used their homes as collateral to secure the mortgage for construction. This bold move allowed construction to begin. Today Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church stands as a testament to this faith and foresight. It is one of the largest Presbyterian churches in Dallas boasting nearly 3000 members.
