Following graduation from Dallas, the Daveys moved their young family to Cary, NC in 1986 to found Colonial. From the beginning, Stephen preached in an expository style, and as word spread of the church's solid scriptural foundation, the new fellowship began to grow.

Both morning and evening church services are streamed through the Colonial website: live services on Sunday and archived sermons.

The beautiful campus with its colonial-style buildings is home to both the church and the seminary.
