Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal/White Rock Chapel Methodist Church was the first African American Church established in Far North Dallas and the first such establishment for African Americans in the North Texas area.
CCTOF moved to its sanctuary, the Temple of Faith, in January of 1999. It has a membership of over 6,400. Under the visionary leadership of the late Dr. Jerome McNeil, Jr., CCTOF served the community through over 90+ ministries like the Jail and Juvenile Detention, Teen Mentoring, Men and Women’s Fellowships, My Father’s House Christian Bookstore, the Healthy Beginnings Child Care, One Church One School and Operation Blessings outreach ministry.
Now lead by Rev. Kwesi R. Kamau, CCTOF describes their church as a contemporary example of Jesus’ hands extended while meeting the needs of the citizens of the North Dallas area.
