I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,and we would love for you to and your family to come visit and see what you think. There is a great family atmosphere with wonderful doctrine taught. I know that it may be a new idea for you to try, but I can assure you that you would be pleasantly surprised. Feel free to PM me with any other questions. We just had a new chapel finished in Corinth, or there is also one in Denton, I could point you in the right direction.

Good Morning A.!!
Chris and I are members at an amazing church just down 377 in Argyle!!! It's called Crosstimbers Community Church and we share property with Liberty Christian Academy!! We are currently searching for a location to build another Crosstimbers in Denton as well.
It's non-denomination and VERY laid back. You will be so welcomed and feel so warm there!! You can wear blue jeans and we serve Krispy Kreme donuts and coffee every Sunday!! haha!!
It really has been a blessing for our family these past 4 years.
We had Carson dedicated to the Lord there when he was 1.5 years old, not long after we started coming!! It took 4 churchs and 18 months of seaching before we found Crosstimbers and we've never been anywhere since!!
The praise and worship band is professional grade!! They have words on the screens to follow along. You won't be disappointed I promise!!
Toby Slough, our senior pastor, uses everyday situations and speaks in everyday language...no "thee or thou" like our old King James Bibles growing up!! haha!!
Check out of website: www.crosstimberschurch.org and download some of the sermons to get a feel for the church!!
Take Care and bless you in your search!!

I've got to agree with the Crosstimbers recommendations. We just lucked out when we recently moved to the area and gave it a try because it was just down the road. We haven't had to try any others, which was a surprise because my husband can be pretty picky. If you want a laid back, friendly environment with a great kids program and lots of other programs this would be good for you.

We live near Providence and attend Covenant Church - its about 10 mile from denton off hwy 380 and its great for families; there are several young (that is 20-30's)families w children- the childrens and youth programs are outstanding and its a very involved church. It would probably take you about 10-15 minutes from denton to get there. Go Hwy 380 take right on Hwy 377 about 1 mile on right-cant miss sign. It came highly recommended to us when we first moved here, now we know it was a god thing! we love it and the pastor has a heart for the lord! (I turn 30 in 2 years, so i know what you mean - but i like the people i've met here cause they know how to have fun and stil love the lord. its great!

The Harvest Church is a local church here in Denton, Texas We meet at UNT Murchison Center every Sunday at 9:45AM, They offer WONDERFUL childcare and once you become comfortable there are home groups, woman's bible study, and men's bible study.

Corny sounding but this church has changed my life.

My husband and I were "good" Christians but didn't really have a relationship with the Lord that we so have now, and the thought of starting a church was scary at first. I attended Harvest last Christmas Eve, and I haven't stopped gushing since. My husband is a pilot so I usally attend alone with my children and from the beginning everyone was so friendly and helpful. I finally got the courage to attend a Woman's Bible study and LOVE LOVE the woman, and since it's probably my only me time, I can't imagine doing anything else.
The church is small and growing rapidly. The teaching is from the bible and the music is Awesome.

Check out their website
http://www.theharvestchurch.net//

This weekend they are actually hosting Team Impact, your husband may really enjoy it.

Please if you have any questions don't Hesitate to contact me. and if you think maybe you'd like to try, I would love to meet you and help you get situated.

Wow! I bet you didn't anticipate such animated and emphatic responses! It is wonderful to see what having the gospel in your life can do for someone. I, too, belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I just wanted you to know, if you are truly searching for knowledge and direction and peace in your life, you should join us one Sunday. I don't mean to day the ONE Sunday will provide you with all you need, I only mean to say that you will find the peace and Spirit that will leave you wanting to learn more.

We are not your main stream church with bands and such - just an organ and piano. We don't have a paid ministry, members of the church are asked to speak/provide a lesson during the main meeting. There are children, youth, men's and women's organizations. There is a huge emphasis on the family and our individual potential as sons and daughers of God. There is all ages of people in the church - from every stage of life - newly married, newly blessed with kids, kids all in school, and on...

If you would like to know more, please let me know. I would be happy to help you in your search.

My husband, my 3 yr old, and I go to Cross Timbers Community Church in Argyle. It's about 15 minutes from Denton, off 377. It has a live band, GREATTTTTT children's ministry, and it so such a blessing in our lives. You can look at the website at crosstimberschurch.org. I think that's it. If you'd like more info, or would like for someone to go with you for the first time, just let me know! My prayers will be with you and your family as you find the church that's right for you. In Him, A.

If you are near Corinth please come visit FBC Corinth on Meadowview Drive. We have a new pastor that is quite a blessing. It's mostly families with children though there are some older folks too. Contemporary worship if that's your style. If you are more in north Denton, we enjoyed visiting FBC Denton. Nice church we just wanted something more in our area where our daughter would go to school with the kids she goes to church with. Please let me know if I can tell you more, I'd be happy to meet you on Sunday!
