Concord Church

What Concord Church does

Concord Church is a 50-year-old Protestant megachurch headquartered on a 24-acre campus at 6808 Pastor Bailey Drive in Dallas, Texas, serving an approximate congregation of 9,000 members. Founded in June 1975 by Dr. E.K. Bailey with 230 charter members at Bishop College, the church operates under senior pastor Bryan L. Carter (since 2003) and is governed by a Council of Elders. Its core offerings include Sunday worship services at a 3,100+ seat Faith Sanctuary, lifecycle ministry programming spanning children (6 weeks through 5th grade), students, young adults, couples, men, women, and seniors, plus pastoral care through Harmony Counseling Center, Harmony Food Pantry, and the Harmony Community Development Corporation.

The organization operates a digital stack centered on the TouchPoint online community platform (giving, event registration, member profiles), a mobile app for iOS and Android, online streaming via concorddallas.online.church, and Zoom for virtual Bible studies. Additional branded products include the Connections Bookstore (physical and Square-powered online), the annual Made to Last couples conference, the E.K. Bailey Preaching Conference, the #HERStory podcast, and the Touching Tomorrow five-year Vision 2030 campaign structured around six strategic pillars.

Revenue is generated primarily through tithes and offerings (recurring, free-will), the Touching Tomorrow capital campaign, designated initiatives (Concord Cares, Love Offering), stock donations, facility rentals for weddings and conferences, bookstore sales, and scholarship endowments. Members are engaged through Grow Groups, the Growth Track membership pathway, age-specific ministries, and community service opportunities. Concord Church is independently incorporated as a religious nonprofit, privately held with no parent entity, venture capital, or institutional ownership, and is recognized as a Best Christian Workplace for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
