Wonderful things are happening here on the corner of Northwest Hwy and Midway Road. Having just returned from a church Conference in Albuquerque, I am more and more aware of our growth and participation in the exciting movement of the Holy Spirit that is being referred to as the Emerging Church. It is thrilling to be part of a church community that is so committed to the Lord Jesus and so welcoming of all who come through our doors as we reach out in service to the world around us.

Our Sanctuary was remodeled last year and we just this month completed the remodel of our Fellowship Hall. Life in the Trinity Ministry has built their Micah Center on our campus and joins us in reaching out to others. Now we are turning our sights on our historic Cochran House as we seek the ways and means to restore it to its original splendor for future use.

Cochran Chapel is Dallas’ oldest deeded church property and we like to think of ourselves as the oldest Methodist church in the area. Recently our sister church St. Paul United Methodist, Dallas’ oldest African-American church, has been invited to share our campus while they are in the midst of remodeling their own church facility downtown. We are so excited about the common fellowship of these two very historic churches of Dallas.

Cochran Chapel is steadily growing toward the future while standing on the shoulders of the saints who have gone before us. What a great time to be part of this vibrant and active church family.
