Our Story

On December 31, 2005 a team of 25 people met for the first time at 6107 I-30 W in Royse City, TX as The Quest Church. The team came together with a vision to plant a relevant, creative, and exciting faith community in the fast-growing Royse City area. The team was sent out on this adventure by Pastor Paul Blue and Family Fellowship Church of Greenville. Jim and Meredith Dunn became team leaders. Jim served as Connections Pastor at Family Fellowship for two years prior to becoming The Quest Team Leader.

On September 9, 2006 The Quest Church announced its official public launch and an ‘out-of-the box’, culturally relevant, Christ-centered, and relationship-driven faith community began. 82 people attended the first official gathering and weekly gatherings began at 6pm on Saturday nights. A Sunday morning worship gathering was added on Easter 2007 and in September 2008 a second Sunday worship gathering was added to accommodate the growing number of people at The Quest and by 2012 a third Sunday worship gathering was added.

In September of 2024, The Quest Church celebrated its 18th anniversary in Royse City, TX and Pastor Jim passed the role of Lead Pastor to Aaron Laramore. Aaron had previously served the church for 7 years as Youth Pastor and Teaching Pastor.

Our scope of influence and outreach continues to grow. We’d like to invite you to join us on this great adventure. The Quest is a faith community where you’ll be accepted and valued for who you are. A place where “faith is a Quest, not a guilt trip.”

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” – (Ephesians 3:20-21)
