FirstDenton Today’s Worship 8:15 AM Sunday Groups
What We Are All About Love God
9:30 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service
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.
Baptisms: Craig Allen, Aidan Jones, Hanshu (Lemon) Ji 11 AM Sunday Groups Worship Service
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
Baptisms: Kelcy Kunkel, Lakota Stuart Parent Commitment: Malachi Aaron Trammell, son of Matt & Shannon Trammell
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.
