About White Rock Fellowship

Welcome to White Rock Fellowship! White Rock Fellowship is a vibrant and growing church located in the beautiful White Rock Lake area of east Dallas. Our church was planted with a mission to declare and demonstrate the gospel of Jesus through lives of worship, community, and mission. We seek to embody the concept of the local neighborhood church that lives, plays, worships, and serves in the White Rock Lake area.

We love the lake, the trails, the eclectic neighborhoods, and the diversity that makes up White Rock. With 240 adult members and 300+ in attendance on Sunday, the majority of our members live within 10 minutes of the church, and we have strong partnerships with various local ministries, including with an elementary school across the street from our church. In short, we are a local church in White Rock, For White Rock.
