Today’s Sermon

Austin Wadlow Preaching College Pastor

FirstDenton 8:15 AM Sunday Groups 9:30 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service 11 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service Flowers: Today’s flowers are given in memory of Hoke & Luese Vickery and Gayle Vickery Wagg and Hazel & Delbert Wagg from Ann, Jennifer, John & Royce Wagg family.

What We Are All About Love God

We love God by living a life of genuine worship, prayer and study of God’s Word. Loving God means being fully devoted to Him and living a life of obedience.

Love People

Jesus said the world will know us by our love. We love people by first loving fellow believers in the church, and then loving and meeting the needs of people in Denton and around the world.

Make Disciples

Disciples are simply followers of Jesus Christ. We seek to make disciples through our worship services, Sunday Groups, Bible studies and one-on-one relationships. Our goal is to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Share Jesus

Womens Spring Retreat

At First Denton we believe everyone is called by God to share Jesus with those who are not yet believers in Christ. We are all ministers and God gives us unique opportunities to share the gospel message with those in our circles of influence.
