The church was founded in 1984 in a hotel ballroom by Pastors Gene and Sue Lingerfelt .  As the church grew, the church planned and then built its first facility along I-30 and N. Fielder Rd. in North Arlington.  The church continued to grow and in 2006 the church moved to its current facilities at US Highway 287 and Eden Road in Arlington, Texas.

For over 40 years, the church has taught people how to practically apply God's Word to their every day lives.

Today, the church's campus is located on 55 beautiful acres in the heart of the metroplex.  This is just the beginning of what God has called us to do!  We believe that our best days are ahead of us and we look forward to reaching a new generation with the Good News of the Gospel. You and your family belong at FCC, and together we are building a Legacy of Faith. The church is currently planning and preparing to build Phase II, which will more than double our current square footage.  In 2023, Dr. Gene Lingerfelt celebrated 50 years of preaching the Gospel (watch). In 2024, the church celebrated it's 40th anniversary!
