Since the launch of our church in February of 2018 we have seen the faithfulness of God as we have endeavored to trust Him to fulfill HIS PLAN and HIS HEART for East Texas through our local church. We are consistently blown away as we have seen Him do “far beyond anything we could ask or think”.
Our purpose as a church has never been more clear. We will make an eternal difference, not as we build buildings but as we continue to build lives.
WE EXIST TO LEAD PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST THAT IS FULL AND VIBRANT IN EVERY SEASON. AN EVERGREEN LIFE.
The Lord is placing an exciting opportunity before us to impact more lives with the love of Jesus than ever before through our very own facility - our future home!
In order for us to continue building lives, we need a permanent home of our own; that will help us minister to the needs of the people in our communities and lay a spiritual foundation for the next generation.
This is a pivotal moment for our church. As we consider the vast potential for ministry on the 17.5 acres we’ve acquired in Bullard, TX, our expectation grows. Without the space constraints of our current facility, we believe we’ll see thousands come to Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference.
So, with a strong commitment and complete reliance on God, we’re stepping forward to meet the needs of the future. We ask each person who calls Church of the Pines their home to prayerfully consider their role in impacting our region through this step of faith. Would you pray about making a sacrificial commitment beyond your regular tithes and offerings? If you haven’t been consistent in your giving, would you pray about starting to do so? We’re confident that God will honor your commitment as we take this journey together.
The Build Life initiative is about creating a lasting legacy for our families, communities, and our world. We can’t wait to lock arms with you to see God’s will be done in East Texas as it is in Heaven.
DRAG TO SEE MORE
“At 25 years old, I visited Pines with a broken and hardened heart that reflected every single heartbreak and disappointment I’d experienced in my life. That first Sunday, I knew God was speaking directly to my heart and telling me every single tear shed, he had seen and that I would never feel alone again. As I slowly joined small groups, serve groups, and made connections, behind the scenes God was carefully healing and restoring me. Through Church of the Pines I found hope, purpose, salvation, and the love and community my heart ached for!”
Melissa
“Although I have been a believer since I was 19 years old, and served in the church for decades, over the past 12 plus years I had God at arm’s length due to a lot of loss, pain, trauma, and drama that I’ve experienced. My husband and I started attending Church of the Pines in January, 2023, and things slowly started to change in my heart. One Sunday, Pastor Les asked anyone who needed peace in their lives to stand up, and he and the church prayed for me (us). Another Sunday God used his words to open my eyes to the fact that I had been sitting on the sidelines, and was letting Satan win. It was like the blinders were removed, and I was done giving Satan a foothold in my life! I spent time in prayer surrendering everything to God. I repented, forgave, let go, and asked the Holy Spirit to lead me. We later went through a Freedom small group and found deeper healing, closeness to God, and a greater purpose. Peace. Healing. Purpose. Chains broken. Freedom. God is no longer at arms length, but so close. I am so thankful for this church, our pastors and leaders, and the sweet friends who love unconditionally. Life is worth really living again, and I’m so grateful.”

“Church of the Pines has been such a blessing to our family. Having the opportunity to serve as a family has allowed us the opportunity to pay that blessing forward to others. The culture of genuine love for everyone and the Bible teachings by our pastors have set the foundation of the values we strive for as a family. We are better in community. Pines is home.”

OUR BUDGET
Many people love to give to God but need to have confidence in the methods and purposes used by organizations to which they give. The giving of tithes and offerings is worship to Jesus Christ and an expression of the relationship between the individual giver and the Lord. Giving is not a business transaction but an expression of gratitude toward God.
Note: Each year’s budget is established on 90% of previous year’s income.
Even a small gift, given regularly, can add up to a substantial donation over time.
TYPICAL COMMITMENTS YOU CAN MAKE OVER A 156-WEEK PERIOD
FAQ’s
1 // WHAT IS “BUILD LIFE”?
Build Life Is A 3-Year Focus That We As A Church Family Are Taking In Order To Raise $2.5 Million Toward Our Permanent Facility.
2 // HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN MY TITHE?
During This 3-Year Focus, We Will Continue To Provide Excellent Ministry For Our Church Family And Outreach To Our Community. Because Of This, We Ask That Your “Build Life” Giving Be Over And Above Your Regular Giving.
3 // HOW WILL I KNOW HOW MUCH TO GIVE?
This Is Between You And The Lord. We Never Ask You To Give A Certain Amount. You Should Give Whatever He Puts In Your Heart To Give.
4 // WILL MY CONTRIBUTIONS BE MADE PUBLIC?
Absolutely Not. Again, This Is Between You And The Lord. Only The Total Amount Given Toward “Build Life” Will Be Released On Our Website And Services.
5 // WILL I RECEIVE A REMINDER TO GIVE?
No. Giving Is An Act Of Your Worship To God, A Lifestyle Of Generosity That You Embrace. We Will Not Pressure Anyone To Give But Simply Provide An Opportunity For You To Be A Part.
6 // WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM UNABLE TO COMPLETE MY GIVING COMMITMENT?
Nothing. Who You Are Is Way More Important To Us Than What You Do For The Church. We Want Everyone To Feel Welcomed And Valuable. Our Greatest Resource Isn’t financial. Our Greatest Resources Are The Faithful People That God Has Brought To This Church Family.
