Winter Storm Collapses Cedar Hill Church Roof, Displacing 300-Member Congregation

Leaders are preparing for a months-long rebuild, with donations already above $20,000.

Overview

  • Multiple inches of sleet and snow caused the sanctuary roof at Kingdom Culture Dallas in Cedar Hill to collapse sometime between Friday night and Tuesday morning.
  • No one was in the building when the roof gave way, but instruments, sound systems, LED screens and other electronics were destroyed.
  • The 300-member congregation will worship Sunday at the neighboring Inspiring Body of Christ Church as it searches for a longer-term temporary site.
  • Online fundraising has surpassed $20,000, and leaders say they have insurance with an inspection expected in the coming days.
  • Pastors Sherman and Jaquet Dumas, who opened the church in October 2024 after moving from California, estimate at least five months of temporary space and rented equipment will be needed.
