Rex Johnson kind of church in Dallas area?

SeekingOne · #1 06-23-2009, 09:46 AM

Now that I have read that people really appreciate Rex Johnson in Austin TX, I wonder if there are any churches in the Dallas/Ft Worth area like his church? I guess really, it would be best if it were on the southeast side, more toward Arlington than Plano.

I would imagine that is pretty accurate.

Toward Arlington I believe would be more to the west/southwest direction, I believe. Maybe Grand Prairie, Arlington, Hurst, Euless, or Ft. Worth.

LOL, yes it would. I didn't turn my brain on this morning at all.

I am not real sure. People were praising him in another thread as someone with integrity, with a UPC background (I think) and such. Since many seemed to think that was such a great church, I thought I would see what is in the Dallas area.

We don't live in Dallas, but we know some people there that are looking for a Spirit led church, rather than a doctrine led church. In other words, both the music and the preaching/teaching is led by the Spirit and not by some program or programming. ;-)

So far all they have found are extremes in both directions. They find the traditional UPC flavor with the outside being of the utmost importance and the Spirit filled churches that basically sing x number of songs, pass the plate and preach for 20 minutes.

I am just hoping for some suggestions for them. I will Email them the ones that have been suggested thus far. Driving is not a problem, it is just easier to be involved when the church is not across town.

Thanks to all who help.

I go to ALC (alcplano.org). We do lean liberal on dress and such, but we are strong on doctrine, have great music and great people. If you want something further south, Foster's church is good, but much more traditional (www.dallasfirstchurch.com).
