25th Anniversary

Christ Church founding Pastor, Dana McKim, honestly admits that he did not want to come to Hickory, North Carolina. It didn’t fit his plan, his idea of what (and where!) he envisioned himself. Pastor Dana openly shares how he thought coming here was beneath him – not realizing God’s plan was bigger and better than he could have initially imagined. Now twenty-five years later Pastor Dana says he is amazed at the growth and impact Christ Church is making. “And to think I almost missed out on being a part of God’s plan!” Pastor Dana says, “I cannot imagine the extent to which God was offended when I wasn’t willing to come initially. And to think, I almost failed to accept the invitation.”
