Tell Me About Your Church

[YankeeGal]

Hi everyone!

Our non denominational christian church is undergoing some changes in direction and we thought this might be a good idea to look at other churches to see if we find a good fit as DH hasn't been a huge fan of where we currently attend.

Could you please tell me about your church?

Worship style, size, kids, etc.

I am looking for a places that truly emphasizes discipleship.

Thanks In Advance

Very pleased with our church. We attend the Denton campus. Matt is a "no-holds barred" kind of preacher, and we love it. Great Sunday school ministry as well.

I didnt realize there was a Denton campus. I have always been inspired by this church but Flower Mound was too much of a hike.

ETA: this campus is still a half hour drive...still a bit far

We make the hike to the Denton campus. I will tell you that the services fill up very, very quickly. If you are late, they will turn you away. We actually kind of the like the 5 pm Sunday service. It's dominated by college kids. It's neat seeing youngsters fired up for the Lord. It makes us feel that there is still hope for our country.

We would too but we really want our kids to be in a church where they can have like minded children in the neighborhood and church.

HOWEVER

I was just looking that Providence church is an offshoot of village and the pastor looks amazingly on fire! I am very impressed that he travels in the same circles of David Platt (writer of Radical).

Well...

My church was started in 33 AD by a guy named Jesus Christ. I've never met him, but from what I hear he was WAY cool. We have just over 2000 years of musical tradition and some of our composers really hit the big time. We're talking epic rockers like Bach, Beetoven, Brahms and others.

We're pretty big, too. This isn't to say that we're not personal despite our 1.1+ billion members. We also like to engage in charity. Our members donate about $5.5 billion annually in the US alone.

Yep...we're a pretty awesome and inclusive church and we'd happily welcome you. You can learn more about us at:

My church is in Plano but would love to have you visit us!
Cross Bend Christian Church

we have the last sermon series online so you can listen and see if it is something you like.
We are a casual attire church, more contemporary in worship style and a smaller congregation. There are lots of things for the kids to do!
The teens are having a lock in at the end of the month and the elementary are doing a gymnastics day this weekend.

Check out Genesis Metro Church, located right in the heart of Frisco at the intersection of Technology and John W. Elliott Drive (behind the Fieldhouse).

Worship style: Contemporary, with a slight modern rock edge. Hillsong, Jesus Culture, Passion, etc. Guitar-led.
Size: ~500 weekly between 2 services, including children
Kids: At least half, if not more of our weekly attendance is children. We have Sunday classes for all age groups. Preteens and teens worship with the adults and have their smallgroups on Sunday evenings, and youth worship on Wednesdays.

Etc:
Lifegroups for adults Sundays through Thursdays, frequent men's and women's Bible studies throughout the year.

Discipleship: We employ a discipleship curriculum entitled Masterlife. It's a 24 week intensive that gets to the core of what being a disciple of Jesus Christ is about. It's a fantastic program. Our church has used it for nearly 5 years now. God has used it to transform my life, and by extension my family's. He has used it to transform many other individuals and by extension our church. Leaders have been raised up, worshiping through serving, giving, and doing life together. My wife and I have been leading groups for 4 years now and we get to watch Romans 12:2 in action. I have personally been involved with leading nearly 30 men through this process throughout the years. I've seen men come to know Jesus through this, restore their marriages, and discover who they are because of His grace. Pure greatness!

We take new visitors to lunch every other week. Come give us a whirl for a couple weeks and join us.

I'm not on staff. I'm a lay leader. Not out of obligation, but because God has used this church's ministry to greatly impact me, and it's the least I can do to serve Him by serving this body. Please DM me for more info, if you like.

Worship style - Contemporary. Guitars, drums, very modern. Casual.
Size - ~2000; 1 service Saturday evening and 3 on Sunday
Kids - VERY active youth groups. Wednesday evening youth service is called EPIC
Discipleship is certainly a focus. My high schooler went on her 2nd mission trip this year and my middle schooler went on his 1st mission trip. There are also life classes, life groups, special events and other ways to connect to others. Community service is also a focus.

We love it and it has been great for our family. For us, the lead Pastor does a great job teaching, putting things in terms of today's culture and challenging us to always learn and improve. You can view past services on the website.
