Love People
Baptism: Ashley Tinnon Parent Commitment: James Paul Libick, son of Steve & Heather Libick 11 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service Parent Commitment: Vivian Sydelle Hoop, daughter of Kemp & Amber Hoop
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
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.
