The membership at Life-Changing Faith has been growing since the church began in November 2007.
In September, the church baptized 48 people in a unique setting at Lewisville Lake. Pictured from left are Pelham, Assistant Pastor Derek Cotton, Joe Adams III and Minister Chad Grant.
Life-Changing Faith is a nondenominational church that currently meets at the Frisco Convention Center. You can keep up with the church's progress on the Abbey renovations here on Facebook.
