Come as you are. Learn about Jesus. Find hope.
SMALL TOWN VIBE.
BIG KINGDOM VISION.

OVER HERE LOVING LIKE JESUS IN GAINESVILLE
Call us minimalists. No flashing lights. We're a mix of real, raw, what you see is what you get, a pinch of old school, and some nice, welcoming people. We just love Jesus and that's really the whole sales pitch.
​
We're not trying to sell anything other than one-way tickets to eternity in heaven. The alternative is way too hot, and everyone in North Texas should get that better than anyone. Except maybe the people in Houston. It's hotter there, sometimes.
​
Join us for worship and to help people in need. Visiting Whaley is kind of like visiting your grandma's house or Cracker Barrel, minus crocheted blankets, glass figurines, and biscuits and gravy. We hope you find our environment full of warmth, smiles, and comfort.
WELCOME TO WHALEY
"God's family is like a house and you are part of the building. The apostles and prophets are like the lower walls of the house and you are the building on the foundation. Jesus Christ is the big stone at the corner.
"Jesus holds the whole house together, and it becomes a holy house belonging to the Lord.
"You too are part of this house. God himself lives in this house by His spirit."
Ephesians 2:20-22
