Worship Center in Crandall, TX

The Crandall Church of Christ project, filed as a Worship Center, is a new 6,400 sq ft metal building located at 209 S Main Street in Crandall, Kaufman County. The scope of work includes worship spaces, classrooms, and restrooms, with an estimated construction cost of $1,000,000. This places the project at $156 per sq ft, a figure close to the Kaufman County median of $144 for similar new construction filings.

Church of Christ is the owner of record, with WECArchitect serving as the design firm. Jeffery L Kelley is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the TDLR filing. The project is privately funded on private land for private use. While the estimated cost is below the county median of $1,200,000 for new construction, the scheduled build window of 303 days is longer than the county median of 242 days.

Construction Timeline and Status

Construction was scheduled to begin in November 2025, with a completion date listed as August 2026 on the filing. TDLR completed plan review in May 2026. Although the scheduled completion date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The TDLR status is marked as Review Complete, but this refers to the plan review process rather than the physical completion of the building.

The site is situated in a residential area within ZIP code 75114, where the U.S. Census ACS 2023 five-year estimates indicate a population of about 7,664. The median household income for this area is estimated at $88,839, and the median owner-occupied home value is $275,100. Nearby businesses include Spay Neuter Network, Crandall Cotton Gin Restaurant & Bar, Exxon, Subway, Ink It Printing, and The Gathering Church. The area is predominantly owner-occupied, with 2,416 housing units recorded in the Census estimates.

For those interested in the broader economic context, the Kaufman County unemployment rate was 4.9 percent in July 2026, according to FRED data, which is higher than a year earlier. This project represents a significant private investment in the local infrastructure, adding dedicated space for religious and educational activities to the Crandall community. The specific details of the interior layout and amenities are not disclosed in the public filing beyond the general scope of worship, classrooms, and restrooms.

Readers should note that construction status and business opening are distinct concepts. The TDLR record tracks the regulatory approval and inspection process, not the operational status of the church. Therefore, the absence of a final inspection record does not confirm whether the facility is open to the public or ready for use. The information provided here is strictly based on the TDLR registration and associated public records.
