We gather for worship in-person and online  Saturdays @ 5:00pm

facebook.com/tncgarland/


We meet Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. at 801 West Avenue B in Garland, Texas (we share space with First United Methodist Church Garland*). You can find us downstairs at the corner of Ave. B and Glenbrook.


Our worship gatherings are modern, engaging, and casual. Wear clothes that are comfortable for you and feel free to participate (or not) in whatever capacity you choose. We are a friendly church and love getting to know our guests. 


* We are not a part of First Methodist Church, but we do partner with them in many ways to love the neighborhood we share. We feel this reinforces the truth that the church is a people rather than a building. This arrangement also allows us to keep our financial overhead lower so that we are able to give as much as possible toward the needs of our neighbors and to substantially support kingdom work all over the world. 

SATURDAY EVENING worship

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our Saturday evening service is a time to connect with God and others. Here's what to expect at a typical worship gathering: 

  • We are led by our worship team in singing songs that are a response to who God is and what he has done. 
  • We spend time pausing and praying together. 
  • We read Scripture.
  • We hear a message about our life of loving God and loving our neighbor. Our hope is to communicate in such a way that connects the way of Jesus with our everyday lives. 
  • We receive communion. This is an essential practice in the Christian faith instituted by Jesus for his followers to remember his life-giving death and resurrection each time we gather together in his name.
  • We hear updates about what God is doing in our neighborhood as well as upcoming opportunities for serving, connecting, and growth.
  • We receive a blessing and are sent into our neighborhood (we call this the "Benediction")


You can listen to sermons here or contact us if you have any questions. We’d love for you join us. 

We offer safe, age-appropriate childcare, teaching, and activities for babies and children. 

 

  • Infants and preschool-aged children will go directly into our children's ministry room down the hall. Parents will sign in their children with one of our volunteers.
  • Elementary-aged kids (Kindergarten--5th grade) will join you in our worship space to begin their time singing with us in our Worship Gathering. Just before the sermon, our Neighborhood Kids Ministry Volunteers will safely escort our Elementary-aged children down the hall where they'll continue their time with a song, interactive lesson, craft or activity, and (peanut-free) snack. 
  • All children are signed out in the hallway when our Worship Gathering concludes.


Children are also welcome to stay in our worship gathering. Our greeters can even provide coloring and activity pages to keep little ones busy. 


Middle school and high school students (6th--12th grade) have a special time together at 4:30pm before our gathering. Each week we provide a student sermon handout to help them follow along and engage with the teaching during our Worship Gathering. Our monthly youth night happens every 1st Saturday of the month immediately after our worship gathering.


Please see our dedicated pages for kids and students.
