I imagine we'll try all the churches in the area, but if anyone would like to make a suggestion, we would love to hear what makes your church special. Prior to returning to church just this year, we stayed away for about 20 years, believing as Emily Dickinson did that you can celebrate God anywhere. Now we find the church community inspiring and it allows us to grow in so many positive ways.
My wife and I have visited TV 6 or 7 times. We purchased a little over a year ago and will be making our final move to there the 30th of this month. We have checked out and number of churches and chose New Covenant United Methodist Church located at 3470 Woodridge Dr. It is about the size of the church we are leaving (around 2000 members). As I intimated in another post, I go to church for revitalization and rejuvenation and I get my learning and growth from small groups that I attend. I need both and I enjoy both. While the church size may be intimidating and fairly impersonal, the intimacy I like to share I find in small groups. Give New Covenant a try.
