I arrived in Dallas in March of 2013, new country, new people, new church. Besides my fiancé, I knew no one. We started regularly attending the evening contemporary service, Access, and it wasn’t long before I was introduced to others close to our age, making me feel welcome. We were invited to join up with the small group lead by these now new friends, and again, they went out of their way to make sure that I didn’t feel alone in a new world.
Fast forward a few years and I have come to call Access my home. I was invited to join the band, take part in events and planning the future of the worship service I call my own. There is something different about a church community that cares more about branching outside of their immediate community, and this is one of the main reasons that keeps me coming back. I can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings, but I know that whatever it does, I will be there! If you are looking for a church that lives outside of Sunday, Access is the place for you
