Melissa Campus Update: Your Questions Answered
Chase Oaks is launching a new campus in Melissa, Texas. Below, Melissa Campus Pastor Rey Diaz shares key things to know and easy ways to get involved.
Who's already involved in the launch?
We are so grateful that over 100 families have already committed to this launch. These are people who feel God calling them to help build something brand new in north Collin County: a community where people are inspired to follow Jesus and together change the world for good. The momentum is real, and it's only growing.
Has a location been secured?
Yes, and it's better than anything we could have asked for or imagined. We've secured a site right on Melissa's main road, which the city is currently in the process of doubling in size. The visibility, the access, the timing—it's all perfectly positioned for what God is doing. We truly couldn't have dreamed up a better spot.
What does the partnership with the City of Melissa look like?
Two years ago, we hoped to serve Melissa. We never imagined the city would invite us in and choose to partner with us. But that's exactly what happened. The city views our campus as the "highest and best use" for this land, and together we're building a community center that we expect hundreds of people to walk through every single week. Every one of them will be exposed to the love of God. What started as a hope to serve has become a full, city-backed partnership. God has expanded this vision far beyond what we originally dreamed.
When does the Melissa campus launch? What can we expect?
We're launching weekly services at Frazier Elementary this August, and we cannot wait. We're not sitting back and waiting for a permanent building — we're going now. This August, we're throwing open the doors and inviting the whole community to come experience what God is doing, discover His love and purpose, and begin serving alongside us. The church isn't a building. The church is the people, and we're ready.
How can I pray and get involved?
Start with prayer. This is a God-sized vision, and it needs God-sized prayer. There are over 200,000 people within a 10-mile radius of Melissa who are not yet experiencing life with God. This campus exists as an answer to that need and to those people.
If you feel him nudging you, don't ignore it. Here are three steps you can take right now:
Pray — ask God how he's calling you to be part of this.
Join the launch team — come help build something brand new.
Give through Reimagine — every gift directly supports this campus and the mission behind it.
Don't miss your chance to be part of what God is doing in Melissa.
