“Grace Point Church is a wonderful Christ centered church. Pastor Chris and the elders do a great job sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They also have an amazing children’s ministry! A great way to get plugged into the church is to join a life group!”

“We visited the temple mostly for all occasions and auspicious day. We reach always Mr. Shekar Temple manager in the front desk for anything about poojas, He is excellent person to guide you each and everything.We have thoroughly impressed by the impeccable service provided to us. I'll highly recommend to him for anything.”

“We have attended this church for over 2 years now and I can genuinely say that it is like a big family. You will not only hear the inerrant word of God preached here, but you will feel love, supported and KNOWN by the other members. Also, the kids programs/ministries are run by some of the sweetest and most caring people on the face of the earth.”

“Such a wonderful, warm, caring church. God directed me to go here as I was praying for direction and a new church home. The pastor does not compromise the Word of God which is so refreshing.”

“It’s a nice church with beautiful atmosphere, all people are nice there. I am going for ESL classes every Monday and Wednesday. For English classes you have to do registration, they charge 30$ for 5 levels. If you have kids and you are going for ESL classes you can drop your kids to daycare in church it’s free who enrolled for classes. Teachers are also very nice. Every Monday and Wednesday in evening people are also going for Bible classes.”

“We love this church and the congregation! It is the friendliest church we have attended. Great sermons from Pastor Steve Smith and the music is inspirational! Everyone is welcomed!”

“Fun event, annual balloon glow. Tho was somewhat disappointing this year, to me. After waiting for 3 hours, when the balloons were lit, they only played 2 songs, that was it. Then they were going to drop the safety ropes and let us mingle around the balloons. Great church event. First time we went was a lot of fun. This time had a huge crowd, since everyone was out doing the solar eclipse earlier in day. Didn't want to get mashed up in the crowd this year, to be in the balloon area, COVID spikes are picking up here. But the Preston Trail goes all out for this event. Great turnout. But since we don't have little ones around us anymore, we avoided the moshpit experience.Gotta play more than 2 songs for all that arrived 3 to 4 hours earlier to see display. Jus saying”

“I love this church! The people are amazing and it is so beautiful inside! I love the music too. I've been there the past three days and have enjoyed every part of it.”

“A true Christian church. I have attended this church on several occasions and first attended because I was looking for a church with a night service in this area. On my very first time to go, I was welcomed with open arms. One can definitely feel the love of Christ in this congregation.

We sang Christmas carols over the Christmas week to some people who were not able to leave the house, and it was amazing to see the smiles on those peoples faces. I thought that was the greatest thing in the world.

If your looking for a true Bible believing church that will welcome you no matter what your background is, then I truly recommend that you try this loving congregation out at least once. You will leave feeling uplifted, closer to God, and having grown in Christ.”

“I was a first-time guest today and I was very pleased with the experience. I’ve lived in Texas for almost 5 years and have not found a church to call home. Westside might be it. The people were kind, ushers were very attentive, the pastor was humble and approachable and clear with his message. He was also quite funny. The choir is unbelievable. What a great choir! The children’s church was closed today so I do want to check it out before committing. I left Westside happy and peaceful. I look forward to visiting again.”

“I live in New Jersey and love visiting my daughter. I recently attended the Easter service on Saturday and enjoyed the egg hunt with my grandsons and I had such a beautiful experience. The music and service brought tears to my eyes. I was very moved and look forward to watching services online. I am thrilled my grandchildren are attending the classes and my grandson who is 4 told me Jesus lives in his heart. I would like to thank all the teachers who have taught my grandson.

“An excellent church with plenty of opportunities for fellowship and spiritual feeding — for anyone aged 38 and over.

I attended Stonebriar, specifically the contemporary service, for about 1.5 years and became friends with a couple pastors here, including Keith Lindley, a missionary to Japan and teacher of the Coffee House class.

There are two major services, the traditional (with hymns, organs, choirs, and orchestras) and contemporary (with amplified instruments and more modern worship music) ones. Being a young man in my 20’s, I mostly attended the contemporary service. They also provide complimentary coffee and doughnuts, which is nice. They even have a Spanish service for those that that can benefit! Pastor Joseph is a great guy.

There are also plenty of classes such as Coffee House, The Journey… many to choose from on-site. Plenty of ministry available for kids and teens too.

Chuck Swindoll is an excellent pastor and author. I attended the traditional service a few times to get out of my comfort zone, and read a good amount of his material. Even got to meet him a few times! Good man, with a good sense of humor.

So why 4 stars?

Simply put, as a young man in my 20’s, fellowship was very limited for me here. There is a minuscule young adult presence here, and I can only relate with people aged 40-80 in so many ways. I quickly grew tired of relating to them like I was their kids’ ages. I talked this over with some of the pastors, and even they agree that the only major downside of this church is that there aren’t a lot of young adults there, and I received the blessing to attend another church.

Furthermore, the contemporary service could use some… passion? I guess? I hate to say it and no disrespect to those that run it, but I usually found myself bored and tuned out during the contemporary service, and I eventually just stopped going.

So for those of you who are parents and grandparents, then yes, I absolutely recommend this church. If you’re a young adult, I’d try Gateway or ONE.”

“They say to look at the fruit of a tree to find evidence of what it is. Here’s some samples of the fruit.

I’ve been going to this church since 2019 and have seen it through the crazy COVID years and into a new church building. Lots of change through the years. The one constant has been the heart of the ministry, which in my experience is everything. Pastor Tim and Carrie embody a commitment to living, teaching, and abiding by God's Word, even when it's countercultural and not the latest trend of what’s in it for me. Their dedication has profoundly impacted my entire family.

This church and our small groups have been an anchor for my husband and daughter through the trials and triumphs of the last 5 + years.

I saw these pastors give generous checks to other struggling churches when they themselves were not in the best place financially during Covid. They did it anyway.

I’ve seen first hand the outpouring of prayers, support and love from countless members of this church with my brother in law when he has been in the hospital. And again with my father in law in the months leading up to his passing. The counseling to my mother in law at her house in the days that followed. They didn’t ask for a dime when they held his funeral at the church. All for a man who wasn’t even a church member. They offered anyway.

And again the people of this church were there for my mother in law when she became ill. The visits, the prayers, the counseling and support.

The stories go on and on for my family and so many others. These are but just a small sampling of the fruit my family has experienced.

Yes, the heart of GM is, was, and will always be… it is ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

May your family be blessed to have such a church in your life.”

“I’ve only been attending for a few months. However, I’ve never felt more at home. I always feel welcome & get so much out of each service! Pastor Keith is amazing! Highly recommend ELC!”

“This is the best church we have ever been a member of. They have an economy of scale that allows them to host top shelf events, guest speakers and artists. Even though it is huge, it is Friendly - the secret is to attend one of the small group Bible studies (there are dozens). They are dedicated to preaching the Word of God every week (although we moved away from the Dallas area, we still watch their livestream service), serving their community and offering lots of opportunities for fellowship with other believers. The children's and youth department are very active, as is the Sports ministry. They have a huge Hispanic speaking service with its own dynamic pastor. The school is nationally recognized. They have a huge onsite cafe that serves a delicious buffet every Sunday.We cannot say enough good things about Prestonwood. Even if you are just visiting the North Dallas area, it is a must see destination.”
