Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church

What Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church does

Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church (PHPC) is a non-profit congregation affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), operating from a single campus at 9800 Preston Road in Dallas, Texas. The church delivers its core service — weekly worship — through three formats: a 9 a.m. contemporary service led by a worship band, an 11 a.m. traditional service featuring choir and brass ensemble, and online streaming for remote participants. Self-described as an open and affirming congregation, PHPC explicitly welcomes members across age, race, gender, orientation, and faith background, and publicly engages in racial-justice and Pride-related initiatives through partnerships such as Project Unity.

Beyond worship, PHPC runs an unusually broad ministry ecosystem organized by life stage — Kids (nursery through elementary), Youth (middle and high school), College, Young Adults (Meraki Fellowship), Adults (Fellowship Class, Open Door, Bible studies, Enneagram groups), Parents, Senior Adults (Tai Chi, Breathe, Garden Club, Book Club), and the Epiphany Ministry for adults with disabilities. Care and formation offerings include the six-session Good Grief support group, pastoral counseling, Lent and Advent seasonal programs, and original podcast content (The Takeaway, Something Bigger). Community impact extends through annual school supply drives at three partner schools (McShan Elementary in Vickery Meadow, Martin Luther King Jr. Arts Academy in South Dallas, Preston Hollow Elementary), adult literacy tutoring via Literacy Achieves, refugee household support in Vickery Meadow, Meals on Wheels engagement, and a multi-year clean water mission in Liberia through Living Waters for the World.

PHPC is funded almost entirely by voluntary tithes, offerings, and donations from its congregation, supplemented by nominal program fees (Tai Chi $30/month, Garden Club $30-50/year, Good Grief $25, Church Season $50/family). With roughly 32 employees and a lean administrative structure, the organization operates an integrated digital stack — Realm for event registration, Vimeo for video, Simplecast for podcasts, Mailchimp and eepurl for email, Zoom for virtual gatherings, and Wufoo and SignUpGenius for forms and volunteer sign-ups — to support programming without proprietary technology. Sacraments (baptisms, weddings, memorials, columbarium) round out the service portfolio.
