There are two churches in Copeville. The first you will see on FM-1778 is the Methodist Church, near the water tower. This is not the site; the meet site is the Baptist Church, which is about a third of a mile further east. COMING FROM THE SOUTH (WYLIE OR ROCKWALL): If northbound on TX-78 from Wylie, watch for the intersection of Business TX-78 to the right (east) side of the road. This will be about 4.2 miles from where TX-205 coming from Rockwall intersects TX-78 near the town of Lavon. There is a red light at this intersection. At the red light, turn right (east) onto Business TX-78, then immediately turn left (north) to continue on Business TX-78. Follow this about 1.2 miles to the intersection of FM-1778. Turn right (east) onto FM-1778, cross the railroad tracks and proceed about half a mile to the meet site. The church will be on the left (north) side of FM-1778. Note that the Baptist Church is not the one by the water tower. COMING FROM THE NORTH (FARMERSVILLE): If southbound on TX-78 coming from Farmersville, watch for the intersection of Business TX-78 to the left (east) side of the road. This will be about five miles from U.S. 380 on the south side of Farmersville. Turn left onto Business TX-78 and go about 1.2 miles to the intersection of FM-1778. Turn left (east) onto FM-1778, cross the railroad tracks and proceed about half a mile to the meet site. The church will be on the left (north) side of FM-1778.
