Prestonwood Baptist Church

What Prestonwood Baptist Church does

Prestonwood Baptist Church is an independent, privately-held religious nonprofit organization founded on February 6, 1977, in Dallas, Texas, and currently headquartered at 6801 W. Park Blvd in Plano, Texas. Under Senior Pastor Dr. Jack Graham (since 1989), the church has grown to 49,000+ members across three campuses — Plano, North (Prosper), and Prestonwood en Español — operating with 289 employees and an ecosystem of wholly-owned subsidiaries including Prestonwood Christian Academy (five K-12 schools), PowerPoint Ministries (broadcast), Prestonwood Pregnancy Center, Prestonwood Sports Organization, and the Prestonwood Bookstore. Core operations center on Sunday worship services, LifeGroup small-group Bible studies, and age-segmented programming spanning infants through senior adults, plus specialized ministries in recovery, marriage preparation, special needs inclusion, and missions.

The organization's technology infrastructure supports both physical and digital ministry: Prestonwood.Live provides online worship streaming, mobile apps span iOS/Android/Roku for the church, PowerPoint Ministries, and the Pregnancy Center, and PowerPoint Ministries broadcasts via radio and television to a potential audience of millions across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Iraq, and Israel. The 'Bible in a Year with Jack Graham' podcast (244 episodes) is produced in partnership with pray.com, and RightNow Media integration provides members with a Bible-based video discipleship library. Content distribution is multi-channel across web, social media (Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube), email devotionals, podcasts, and broadcast.

Revenue is generated primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings from members, supplemented by bookstore sales, tuition at Prestonwood Christian Academy, fees for the 'Before You Say I Do' marriage preparation course ($90 per couple), Foundation services (career transitions, financial planning, estate planning), and a global broadcast donor base. Pricing for core ministry services (worship, LifeGroups, children's/student ministry, recovery programs) is free, with revenue concentration in ancillary programs, tuition, and bookstore operations. Geographic reach is regional across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with global broadcast distribution as a non-revenue-generating evangelism channel.
