Our History
Our Journey*
Christ’s Touch Ministries began on October 12, 2014, with a simple but God-given vision: to make ready a people prepared for the Lord (Luke 1:17). What started as a small gathering of three adults and two children in a meeting room at a Homewood Suites Hotel has become a thriving, multicultural church impacting lives across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond.
For the first four months, our congregation met in the hotel while God laid the foundation for what would become a growing ministry. As attendance increased, we moved into a rented facility in Pantego, signing a two-year lease. The church grew so rapidly that the facility became inadequate within months. Recognizing the need for more space to accommodate the expanding congregation, we transitioned before the lease term ended to a larger location in Arlington.
The Arlington facility became a testimony of God’s continued faithfulness. Over the years, the church expanded the building four different times, maximizing every available square foot until there was no further room for growth. Each expansion reflected not only an increase in attendance but also the steady advancement of the ministry’s vision, outreach, and impact.
As God continued to bless the work, a permanent home became both a vision and a necessity. In 2021, Christ’s Touch Ministries purchased 2.6 acres of land outright with cash—a remarkable milestone made possible through God’s provision and the sacrificial generosity of His people. Two years later, in 2023, the ministry celebrated the completion of its brand-new, multimillion-dollar church campus, establishing a permanent home from which to continue serving generations to come.
Today, Christ’s Touch Ministries is a vibrant and diverse church family representing more than ten nationalities, reflecting the beauty of God’s Kingdom and His heart for all people. United by faith, we are committed to biblical teaching, passionate worship, prayer, discipleship, leadership development, community outreach, and global missions.
While we celebrate what God has already done, we believe our greatest days are still ahead. We remain steadfast in our mission to raise disciples of Jesus Christ who are spiritually mature, equipped for service, and empowered to make a lasting impact in their communities and around the world.
From five people in a hotel meeting room to a permanent campus serving a growing international congregation, our story is one of God’s unfailing faithfulness. Every milestone reminds us that when God gives a vision, He also provides the grace, the people, and the resources to fulfill it.
To God alone be all the glory.
