On May 24, 1991, the Reverend Dr. Dick Jenkins met with a small group of interested people at Walnut Hill United Methodist Church in Dallas to share together a dream to build a new United Methodist Church in north Carrollton. Out of that meeting, several themes and visions were generated from the group discussion.

One theme for this new congregation became "A Kaleidoscope of Dreams". They wanted to be a congregation that would attract a variety of persons who, through their rich and dynamic diversity, would come together in a wonderful mix of creative ministry for Jesus Christ.

Another important vision for this church was to become "A Gateway to New Beginnings". The Christian faith is a faith of forgiveness and new life. It is the prayer of this congregation that we may always be open to the Holy Spirit for spiritual renewal and new opportunities to live out our faith in fresh and vital ways.
