Chris Chism at his church During the pandemic, Chris Chism founded a new church that’s been rapidly growing DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com “If you ever told me I would start a church in the middle of a pandemic, I would have laughed at you,” Chris Chism admits.
But start a church he did, and as it approaches its first anniversary, The House | Dallas, as the church is known, has experienced significant growth.
The House began meeting in members’ living rooms, connected by Facebook Live. But, Chism said, members were having trouble keeping up with when services would be held and where.
So they found a coffee shop to meet in but quickly outgrew that space. Then a member offered a place in Las Colinas that’s a shared, flexible office at a very attractive rate.
