Here in Denton, Texas, we are actively reaching out to the community for the purpose of spreading the love and message of Jesus Christ.
A central part of our belief includes the importance of each believer to strive for holiness-- In other words, to attain uncompromising obedience to God. We also firmly believe in the power of prayer. Many prayers have been answered by our concerns through the power of Almighty God. Bodies are healed, great things are accomplished, lives are changing-- To God be the glory! We also hold firm to the scriptural truth that "we are saved by faith, not by works...". May our works be known as the fruits of our salvation, and not the source. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God", and for that we all deserve destruction for being, by nature, rebellious to our Father in heaven.
But God sent His only son Jesus to earth to give us a chance at salvation. And all one has to do to avoid the fires of hell is to believe upon Him with all of his/her heart. This is made possible through the sacrafice Jesus endured for us on the cross, then by conquering death and rising from a sealed rock-cut tomb after three days. A terrible painful execution it was, yet He endured it all so we can share eternity with Him. Imagine how much love is invested in you. Such amazing love should not be overlooked! We owe God our eternal allegiance.

OUR MINISTRY
For the most part, our ministry includes outreach and biblical teaching to families and individuals living in and around Denton. Some of our specific ministries include:
HOME BIBLE STUDY: Training each church member to host a Bible study in his/her own home, to reach the lost and to educate newer believers.
UNIVERSITY OUTREACH: University outreach inspired the name of our church. However, expenses caused the church to leave their original location (adjacent to the University of North Texas) and move to the northeast side of town. A movement is being made to start recruiting more college students. Denton is home to 5+ colleges, including University of North Texas and Texas Womens' University.
PRAYER: The most important part of the Christian experience. Our Wednesday night prayer meetings have availed many answered requests, as God continues to bless the people and the area we're in. We are always more than willing to bring any requests one may have before God as a congregation. We actively encourage members to provide requests in our Morning Worship Service as well. Also, prayer is not just a session to give God one's wish-list. It is a time to magnify the name of God, and praise His name and what He has done for us.
MUSIC:
Our church is home to some very fine singers. Our hymns are always sung with enthusiasm and meaning-- Never a dull moment! Also, Mrs. Diana Johnson (our piano player and a music teacher by trade) is organizing a choir. Click Here if you would like more information.
THE VINTAGE": Every 4th Sunday in cooperation with other churches in the Denton area, we bring a sermon, prayer, and worship and praise session to those elderly who cannot travel at a local retirement home.
