Preston Trail Community Church

What Preston Trail Community Church does

Preston Trail Community Church is a non-denominational, Bible-believing Christian church founded in 2002 and headquartered at 8055 Independence Pkwy, Frisco, Texas, with a 60-person paid staff. Its operating model centers on two weekly Sunday worship services (9 & 11 a.m.) delivered in person and via live streaming, supplemented by a broad ministry portfolio spanning TrailKids (birth through 5th grade), Preston Trail Student Ministry (middle and high school), a Young Adults program launched in 2025 with dedicated Thursday night gatherings, a Special Needs Ministry, marriage and parenting ministries, Rooted (10-week) and Alpha (11-week) discipleship pathways, Equip Classes (eight 6-week courses over two years), weekly support groups, counseling referrals, and a free indoor playground for children ages 10 and under.

The underlying technology is conventional non-profit SaaS: a SnapPages-hosted website at prestontrail.org, the Church Center platform for event registration and group management, YouTube for sermon archives and parenting content, Big Cartel for the merch storefront at shop.prestontrail.org, and an online giving portal — no proprietary platform, app, API, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through voluntary member tithes and offerings, with secondary streams from a small-ticket branded merchandise store ($1.50–$50 per item), registration fees for Rooted ($30) and Equip ($25/course), and dedicated giving campaigns — notably the 2024 Go Fund (which exceeded $1,266,564 distributed across 39+ local and global partners) and the multi-year "All In" capital and missions initiative targeting $16 million in commitments from 2025 to 2027 to fund student ministry expansion, a new chapel, parking, sports courts, and TrailKids outdoor upgrades. The church also supports a network of domestic church plants (Redeemer Church in Wichita, The Church We Hope For in Pasadena, The Hills Community Church in San Diego) and global missions partnerships (Compassion International, Trailhead International, Casas por Cristo, Amazon Outreach, Buckner International, Mission Arlington, A House on Beekman).

Revenue model

1. Tithes and Offerings: The primary revenue stream comes from member tithes and offerings. Tithing is defined as giving 10% of income as a significant way to worship God.

The church also accepts tax-saving gifts through assets, investments, and long-term estate planning.
2. Merchandise Sales: The church operates an online merchandise store selling branded apparel including t-shirts, outerwear, hats, kids items, and stickers. Orders are processed through Big Cartel with fulfillment handled by Fund the Nations. Products range from $1.50 (stickers) to $50 (crewnecks).
3. Go Fund / Missions Giving: Annual Go Fund offering supports local, national, and global missions partners. The 2024 Go Fund exceeded $1,266,564. From 2025-2027, the Go Fund is folded into the All In initiative, which aims to raise $4 million for outreach and missions.
4. All In Initiative: A 3-year generosity initiative (2025-2027) inviting members to give sacrificially for needs in the world, neighbors, and next generation. Goal of $16 million in commitments to fund student ministry space (completed), chapel construction, parking, and TrailKids outdoor areas.
