A trip from Groom to Pilot Point helped Deke Alexander and his 9-year-old son, Cash Alexander, figure out where hillpoint church will start: Deke's hometown.
The family had been searching for the right place on weekend trips to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and when Deke and Cash came home from their adventure with the answer, Deke's wife Samantha Alexander could tell something was different.
'I said, 'Well, we know what we're doing. We know where we're doing it,'' Deke said. ''She goes, 'Oh, you do?' ... Cash goes,' Yep. Pilot Point. Hometown. We're going back.'' The Alexanders were approached by Pastor Matt Johnson of The LOFT Church in West Texas about planting a church.
