OUR STORY

Family Church held its first service on Father’s Day in 1990. Since then, the church has grown from a small storefront that accommodated 85 people to a 45,000-square foot Family Worship Center on Interstate 30 that ministers to hundreds of families weekly with contemporary, passionate worship along with uncompromised and relevant teaching for all ages.

The heart of Family Church and its founder, Perry Black, have always been reaching out to people in the community and around the world. Every year Family Church hosts an annual “Fall Family Fest,” an alternative to Halloween for thousands of families in the community at no cost.

In the fall of 2001, Family Church Academy opened its doors and began to offer Saline County a Christian-based education, which currently serves through 6th grade. In December of 2005, Second Chance Ranch was opened to minister to hurting children and teens by providing a loving home-like environment while they receive counseling and other valuable life skills. Both Family Church Academy and Second Chance Ranch have plans for expansion.

Family Church reaches out to the world by supporting various world missions that go into Africa, Asia, Costa Rica and Europe.
