Ok saints, so now that I have physically moved here to Dallas I ask for thine help once again. This city is just way to big with too many churches and I dont think I will ever find an Apostolic Church. Folks have directed me to the "church locator" link on the UPCI page (50+ churches came up). Others have suggested names of Pastors but had no clue the names or areas/town of churches (its kinda hard to google that you know). With me not being off every Sunday its soooooooooo hard to just visit all of these churches a brother is feeling overwhelmed. I hate to be bothersome (to the saints ya know) but I really want a thriving 500+ members conservative apostolic church to go to here in the Dallas Metroplex area. HELP!!!!!!!!!! Ok ok ok, I am done here, but any help will do. (and I am so angry that the Church of Our Lord has no churches here in Dallas at all . . . of all cities).
How is Emmanuel Pentecostal Church Pastor Richard Flowers in Mesquite?
How is North Cities UPC in Garland Pastor Hargrove?
How is New Life Tabernacle Pastor Stanley?
How is Abundant Life Church in Plano Pastor Hennigan?
Refuge of the Lake Cities Pastor L. Chancy Gore?
Ohhhhhhhhh Lord I need help.

It all depends on what you are looking for... Bro. Flowers is a very good man and I respect him highly. My mother and brother attend this church.
Bro. Hargrove's is good as well even though I've never been... I think this is where Bro. Irvin Baxter goes to church.
I haven't seen Bro. Stanley in years but he's a good man.
I do not know the others.
I work in Dallas but I go to church in Ft. Worth and live in Ft. Worth. Our church runs about 200 to 250 people on the border of Ft. Worth and Arlington, with a couple of daughter works.
EPC Rocks!
Brother Flowers is a great pastor, so I am told. I only heard him preach once I think.
I grew up at EPC when it was in Dallas, a longggggggg time ago.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I might fit in those churches, as you CC1 would likely also, that should tell you something.

You have to admit that the thought of a very conservative UPC type visiting Mike Hayes church is pretty funny.
