David Roseberry started this parish in a living room in 1985, and it grew along with west Plano until it was one of the largest congregations in the Episcopal Church. In 2006 its vestry voted to leave, and rather than fight over the property in court it paid the Diocese of Dallas $1.2 million to keep the land and the buildings. Christ Church went on to help found the Anglican Church in North America in 2009, and served as that church's provincial pro-cathedral from 2021 to 2024.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
