Need a New Curch Home in Keller with Lots of Babies

Messiah Lutheran on Whitley Road in Keller is a very traditional, consvervative congregation that also has a very good school for kids starting at age 2 and continuing through elementary school and high school -- so LOTS of kids. Services are at 8:00 and 10:45 every Sunday, with Sunday School at 9:45.

MY MISTAKE!!!!

My other suggestion was Not traditional and not Sunday Best...

What about Colleyville Presbyterian?

Some people I love go there.

Hello M.,
We are members of Lakeside Presbyterian (PCA)in Southlake between Pearson Rd. and Davis. We are very excited because we just moved into our new building after many years of preparation. We are a small but very loving church and for the size of us, we have a ton of kids including many many babies and even some that are still on the way. Our associate pastor's (wife's)baby is due in June. We are having our Open House on Saturday, May 17 with jump houses, free lunch, snow cones, etc. It will be from 11-4 that day. Please come check us out or visit anytime....just look for "M." so I'll know you are there. Many blessing with your search, may God guide you as you go.

Hi. The only thing our church is not, is small. We go to First Baptist Church Keller, just off Keller Parkway. We have tons of babies! Our preschool classes are broken down very well, so there are not too many children in one class. Right now we are doing some construction, so we are having service in the gym instead of the sanctuary. My Sunday School department currently has around 10 expecting mothers including me!

I attend First United Methodist church of Hurst, and we have several families that live in the Keller area. It may be a little drive, but we have an excellent children's ministries as well as adult Sunday School classes for you and your husband- where you can meet other young parents as yourselves. Our minister is very traditional when it comes to our worship service and our organ player just was awarded the best organ player in the world. Also, we have a mom's group Caring Christian Mothers, which meets once a month and provides help and bonding with new moms. Please check us out: it sounds like it would be a perfect fit for you. It isn't very small, but you would be surprised how homey it feels... www.fumchurst.org for times and directions.

We belong to Fellowship of the Parks in Keller and love it! There are a lot of kids there, babies through teenagers, it's a very family friendly church - as a matter of fact our worship leader just had twin girls!

Gateway Church in Southlake is amazing! It is a bigger church but the people are absolutely wonderful. The children's and kid's ministry is one of the best I've ever seen. My whole family loves it there.

Hi M., I go to Christian Faith Fellowship and we are just nirth of Keller on 377 in Roanoke. We are a smaller church but growing and if you are looking for babies we've just had a boom. We have had 8 in the last 2 1/2 year. Anywhere from 1 month old to 2 1/2. You'd think it had been winter and we've all had cabin fever. Anyway, I serve in the nursery and I used to be nursery coordinator but I just handed that off to another mom because I am now our youth minister. We have an awesome nursey, very safe, filled with babies and caregivers who love to be in with the babies. You can check us out at www.cffchurch.com and if you decide to visit send me an email so I can meet you! - BLESSINGS to you in your search for where God would have you make you church home!

St. Martin-In-the-Fields is a wonderful, small, traditional church with a lot of young families. :-) I got married there....it's a wonderful church on Pierson Ln. in Keller.

Southlake Boulevard Church on 1709

I have two for you to try - Bear Creek Bible Church is a medium-sized church; not a "sunday best" one though,nor does it have a choir. However, they do have lots of kids, a great nursery staff, and a loving, open congregation. (obviously I liked this one - lol!)

Second is first united methodist on Johnson road. That's wehre we're going now. They do have a traditional service that is more formal. We go to the contemporary service as my husband prefers that one. it is a large congregation and they have a hearty youth program, but there are only a couple babies in the nursery at the 9:30 service. My son is 7 months and a lot of times, he's the only one.

Good luck-I know how hard it is to find the right church home.

M.,
We moved here 2 yrs ago from MO from a Methodist Church and found Gateway Church in Southlake (on 1709). We didn't even visit another church- our kids love it and the girls (twins) have been there since they were 1. They come home with Jesus in their heart every week! I can not tell you how much we love the people and the worship every week! Pastor Robert Morris is incredible! Go to www.gatewaypeople.com and see for yourself. I know God led us to Gateway (through friends) and has blessed us in an unbelievable way! P.S. they now have a campus in NRH on Davis and Starnes, too.
Many blessings,
L. D.

I know that you said you wanted a small church; however we attend Fellowship Church (fellowshipchurch.com) and it is a large church - we have home teams that come together for dinner, bible study and fellowship on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month and you really feel like you belong and I am sure that you could get in a group of young married people with babies. THIS WAY YOU REALLY FEEL CONNECTED. If you call me I will put you in touch with staff that will support you and your family. J. Blackmon ###-###-####

Please try Milestone Church. We are a growing church and not so small, but we still have the warmth and 'feel' of a small church. You can check us out online at www.milestonechurch.com By the way we have lots of babies and children of all ages.

I pray that God will lead you and help you find the church He wants you to become a part of.
Blessings in your search,

Please look into Alliance United Methodist Church. It's located on Park Vista Bvd. between N. Tarrant and Basswood. It's a "neighborhood church" in that it is not as large as many of the other churches in the area, but we have members from Keller,Azle, Saginaw and lots of other cities. We average about 325 over 3 worship services. The 8:30 and 11 are traditional; the 9:45 is contemporary. The dress code I would call "flexible". Some dress up and some are casual. Lots of kids from babies to teens. We are gearing up to start a Mother's Day out program in the near future so that may be something you'd like to keep in mind. Their website is www.allianceumc.net

We got to LifePoint UMC in Keller and we have TONS of babies... We just had like 4 people give birth (including the minister's wife) and 2 or 3 more on the way.

We're the newest Methodist church in the area and meet at Trinity Meadows Intermediate right now. check us out at www.lifepointumc.com

M.,

I highly recommend our church, Wellspring Church in NRH. We live just south of Keller and its only 15 minutes to get there. It has alot of traditional feel to it. Instead of organ/piano, there's a praise band but they do a mix of hymns and contemporary worship songs. The anointing on the worship is INCREDIBLE!

Our pastor used to be a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is a great preacher/teacher! And yet he's not stuffy and snobby. He's very transparent and is leading our church into a very loving atmosphere.

I keep the nursery and sometimes we have 7 babies in there! And my three kids enjoy the children's program for school-age children.

I hope you will come check us out! We love visitors!

Blessings,
A.

the met is perfect hard to say look it up on google and you can check it out your self.

This church may not match your description fully but it is truly an amazing church. It is Northwood church - northwoodchurch.org . It is off Ruff Snow in Keller. It has lots of children and a wonderful cry room right off the sanctuary. I felt comfortable to go to church just a few weeks after my little one was born and was able to sit and even nurse in the cry room. It is focused on the community and also the world. Good luck on finding a good church -it is so important to feel like you have a 'home' and gives you a place to serve.

We go to the First United Methodist Church of Keller on Johnson Road, across the street from Keller High School. It is a big church but they have 2 traditional services with the old hymns at 8:15 and 11am and the contemporary service at 9:30. It is big and the dress is kind of casual which I know is not what you're looking for. BUT, it has lots of babies and a great kids program. Good luck!

First, I'd like to say that I am a "small church girl". I grew up in and loved being in a small church. That being said we are now going to Harvest Church on 377. It is a lot bigger than I would have picked but we decided to try it since it is near our home and we wanted there to be lots of kids and kid programs in the church. There are lots of kids and they do a ton of things for kids. Just next week we are having Children's Day where the kids (grades K-5 I believe) actually lead the music portion of church on Sunday morning. The kids younger than that are brought into the service by the teachers for a few songs too. After the service they are going to sell hotdog lunches for $2 and have kite flying, bounce houses and other things for the kids. I'd love to meet you if you'd like to come and want someone to sit with or just show you around. All this being said it is a bigger church and unless you get involved with an Adult Bible Fellowship class (we call it ABF but it is Sunday School) it is hard to feel apart of a church like this. Anyway, we'd love to have you. Our class meets at 9 or a little after since we almost all have children between the ages of like 8 months and 3rd grade and so we get them dropped off about nine and then get to our class. If you'd like to try it out let me know.

M.,

I good home church can be hard to find, so I feel your pain. We were on the hunt for 18 mo before we found Light of the World on Old Denton Road (just north of N Tarrant). We are a smaller church, maybe 350 members and we have lots of children. From babes up to High Schoolers. We love the small church atmosphere, but enjoy the fact that there is structure for the childrens programs. We have a great Pastor and staff. As part of the Praise Team, I can tell you we have a good time as well.

I second the recommendation for Fellowship of the Parks. They do have a great children's program on Sundays as well as a great preschool during the week. My oldest son went there 2 years (he's now in kindergarten) and now my second son is enrolled this year and again for next year. The messages are good and the music is fantastic. However, if you're wanting a smaller church, it may not be what you're looking for. We started there about 6 years ago, and it's gotten a little too big for us (now it's 4 services:). My husband and I are very shy and non-agressive when it comes to meeting people, so bigger churches are a bit uncomfortable for us. It's very easy to become invisible (if that makes any sense :).

M. I found this church newlife fellowship on 377 in Keller and I fell in love with it. It is non denominational and it is small and we have a wonderful childrens department and great nursery ladies. our service starts at 10:15a and you can come at 9:30a for a small snack before church. Pastor Brandon and his wife Terica are really nice. Unfortunately it is right next to the drive thru liquor store but don't let that discourage you come and see us and look me up I'm L..

We also recently moved to Texas. We've found Milestone Church to be a great church for young married couples and for those who come from different backgrounds. Milestone has great facilities for babies and small kids. Saturday evenings are not crowded and a great place to meet new people.

Hello! I'm sure that there have been alot of responses....but here's mine too! I am the Secretary of a great little church very close to you. It's Grace Church, on Western Center between Beach and Denton Hwy. It's small, but we have several young families....right now we have to families with 5month olds and a few expecting parents. We have a great toddler program. We are Evangelical Methodist, we have a keyboard, and we do have a guitar and drums, but they play a very good mix of hymns and choruses. We are a bible based church. Style of dress, most come in Sunday Best some more casual, We would love to see you Sunday! Sunday School (adult classes too) starts at 9:30, church at 10:30.

What religion are you looking for? We attend SEAS in Keller on Willis, (its Catholic). There are a ton of churches on Willis, you may want to take a drive over there and see what one fits your families needs. I hope you find the one. :-)

Check out Argyle United Methodist Church. Lots of young couples as well as older folks. Our Pastor is about 35, has a 3 year old and a 6 month old. Our youth Minister has a 6 month old and our music has a 2 year old and is "expecting". We have a great childerns education leader.
You won't be impressed with our building at the moment but the people are wonderful. We will be moving into a new building that is on hwy 377 in about 3 or 4 months.
If you are interested send me an e-mail and I will give you more information. ____@____.com

My church has so many babies, and we have a lot of people expecting as well. I go to Milestone off of Willis Ln and N Tarrant. check it out at www.milestonechurch.com
