Community North Baptist Church

The friendly congregation and thoughtful services foster a sense of community. The facilities are well-maintained, and events cater to diverse interests. The worship experience is enriching, and the pastoral team is dedicated. Parking can be a bit tight, and additional seating during peak times would enhance comfort.

Community isn't only in the name. It's in the atmosphere. Very friendly and supportive congregation. Diverse population with different ages, races, economic statuses, and walks of life. The church hosts several social functions a month that cater to all ages and seasons of life. Pastor Kevin delivers powerful sermons that are animated and enriching. He always makes a point to check in with everyone personally after service. Between the pastor and the rest of the congregation, you always feel important and belonging. Regardless of the service you attend (contemporary or traditional), the music is outstanding, and there are technological innovations that make service more engaging. The church also provides streaming services for those who can't attend in person. This is not a "money defines you" type of church. There is not a defined dress code. All are welcomed and treated with the same level of love, consideration, and support. There are also multiple Bible study classes, child care, and plenty of opportunities to be active within the church! The facilities are beautiful, clean, and well cared for. You will always be greeted with multiple friendly faces, excited to welcome you to the Community North family!

Real People, Real Community! McKinney is “unique by nature.” Community North Baptist Church is unique by design. We are both a typical and an atypical Baptist congregation. We are, in some ways, a paradox. The Bible is taught and preached—typical. We still call Sunday school, Sunday school. We are typical in that we have a fairly traditional worship service with familiar hymns, a choir, a sermon, a children’s sermon, wonderful piano offertories, prayers and Scripture readings. We have covered dish meals. Currently, we do not have a praise team or band or a contemporary service—atypical. We have words to choruses projected on a screen and we have hymnals. We gather at 11 a.m. on Sunday mornings to worship—typical, but no Sunday evening services; we are not a mega-church, nor are services online—atypical. We have Vacation Bible School, Wednesday activities for all ages, retreats and youth activities--typical. We have men deacons—typical—and we have women deacons—pretty atypical Baptist! What makes us unique is not only this paradox of typical and atypical, but also the confluence of freedom with the belief in ‘soul competency,’ that Christians are a ‘priesthood of believers.’ Members are all equals because the ground at the foot of the cross is level; we are sinners saved by the grace and mercy and power of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. We are all one in Christ, as Paul reminds us in his Letter to the Galatians. No one person is considered above another. This sense of Biblical equality forms the basis of our community. We encourage each member to share their grace gifts given by the Holy Spirit. Community North exists to love and serve God and all people, both inside and outside our walls. Our members exercise their gifts by actively participating in ministry whether local, national or international. We support Samaritan Inn, Hope’s Door women’s shelter, Community Food Pantry, various children’s homes, homeless shelters, and missions needs in Africa. Our Loving Hands ladies crochet hats for newborns and items for cancer patients. Our Toy Makers craft beautiful and functional toys for the children at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. We have members who support the Southern Baptist Convention as well as those who support the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. We have a democratic, congregational church government. Our deacons are a ministering body, tending to the flock alongside the pastor. We are not governed by a board or by a CEO Pastor. So, if you came through our doors on a typical Sunday morning, you would experience a warm greeting. You would not be judged; you would be welcomed and accepted. You would hear the Good News of the Bible, and you would be invited to join with us to love and serve God and all people. Above all, at Community North we love the Lord and we love each other, warts and all, and we extend grace to members and non-members alike. That’s what makes us Real Community.
