First Presbyterian Church of Dallas - Dallas Kiyaan Aly: If I could 0 stars I would. I was interested in attending church here for a while, and finally decided to come.
I took public transit to come here and it was cold and windy this past Sunday, hitting lows in the 20s. I wasn’t able to dress very formal thus and the second I walk up to the door, two security officers come up to me and ask me what I want.
Service is at 11am Sunday. I saw that on the website along with the order of ceremonies which is written on the website to last over an hour. It’s 11:23. I tell them there is service and I’d like to attend; they flat out tell me no it’s over. I told them I looked at the website and still they refused. I didn’t bother arguing.
I walked around because I might as well see the place since I made the trip. The sign at the front of the church said “Sunday worship 8:30, 10:00, 11:00.” I clearly understand now that I was refused in because they took my clothing to be one of the homeless. I’ve attached a picture of the board.
I am genuinely frustrated. You cannot preach the word of Christ and yet refuse an individual based on his clothes. You should be ashamed. Christ would never approve of this; the first believers were the beggars and the poor and yet the religion has now resorted to elitist rhetoric. Do better.
Northwest Bible Church - Dallas Alec Hanshaw: This place is special. I’m kind of bias because I made a lot of friends and met my wife here :) but if you are looking for a Bible based church where you could find Jesus loving community, I highly recommend!
Has a nice mix of being a decent sized church with a small church feel. Plenty of opportunities to join a small group, serve, connect with people from different backgrounds and ages.
The church theology is strong and based solely on the Bible. For church there are series that walk us through whole books of the Bible. Our church is very passionate about sharing the Gospel with others also. From my time at being at Northwest, I have learned how to be interdependent with other believers and submit to the Lord more.
