Church, Cedar Hill, was designated a mission by the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas at the close of 1981, and became an official parish in 1985. The original seven families met in homes for Bible study and prayer. Soon our numbers grew and we were gathering in a renovated barn near our present location. After acquiring the property on
Old Straus Road at FM 1382, a memorable groundbreaking ceremony was held in the summer of 1984. The sanctuary was built in 1986, and the parish hall was added on in 1989. With joy and thankfulness to God, we celebrated our 25-year anniversary in December 2006. Our current rector, The Rev. Todd H. Wetzel, came to us in the fall of 2002. Gifted in many areas, he is guiding us to become better disciples, and encouraging us with a vision for the journey ahead.
Outreach ministry and support for the arts have figured strongly into the building of our parish community. Currently we are concentrating on strengthening our Christian Education program, corporate worship (the congregation as the primary choir), and exploring short term mission opportunities.
Mindful of our past, yet "pressing on" in Christ Jesus, we invite you to join with us as we seek to know, follow, and serve Him in our daily lives and together as a Christian community. Visit us on Sunday morning and please sign the guest book. Then join us in the parish hall for coffee and fellowship. We'd like to get to know you!
