EVERYONE newton court update After informing the congregation over a year ago of PCPC’s desire to purchase the homes on Newton Court and street right-of-way just south of our main campus, Mark Davis announced on Sunday, February 19, that the purchases have been completed. PCPC has been considering the need for this significant property almost from the beginning of the church, but the timing has never been right before now. The congregation will learn more in March about how this acquisition will help address our parking needs and the campus additions that will be vital to PCPC’s mission to extend the transforming presence of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ in Dallas and to the world. There will be few changes to it over the next few months, since some of the current residents will remain in their homes, but watch for more information soon!
