Northwood Church

This Church was once a wonderful Church to be a part of. I view Bob Roberts as a dictator and not a pastor. He made unethical changes to the church staff. He over built and auditorium that he cannot fill. Just right down the street though is a wonderful church called Gateway. Pastor Robert Morris is by far the best Pastor I have ever heard speak. Robert Morris does not brag about himself or his church like Bob Roberts does. Robert Morris doesn’t need to. The congregation does it when they leave. Morris brags about God, the Kingdom of God, Bob Roberts doesn’t talk that much about but a lot about of much money they have received and raised. Robert Morris does not ever mention the huge donations they recieve. Bob also Controls his team with an iron fist.

Northwood is not your cookie cutter church. They invest in the community and understand the Kingdom of God. I don’t know any church who loves locally, invests globally and better lives out the commission of Jesus than Northwood. If we had more churches like this people would think better of Christians.

As I’ve learned to expect in north Texas, everyone at Northwood Church is friendly, polite, and happy to see you. My family attended the 9:30a service. The message was nice and relevant to today’s times. The facilities are outstanding, very modern and open. There’s a café serving free coffee, which is nice. Our 3-​year old daughter spent the 90-​minutes in a pristine classroom with other toddlers crafting, singing, and learning bible stories. Her teacher, Miss Maryanne was wonderful and took very good of our daughter and the others in the room. When we picked her up she was happy to talk about how much fun she had, it was nice to see she was in good hands.
The members at Northwood are so inviting, we were greeted the moment we pulled into the parking lot. The entire experience is very organized, which was nice for the first timers. There’s an electric band that plays modern songs with a spiritual message– and all forms of music are represented, which was really great (alternative, R&B, hip-​hop, Americana) and the congregation was represented well by all walks of people! We felt welcomed immediately, and were happy to see the church is more focused on community and message than dress code. Most folks were in comfy jeans and sneakers.
We’ll be back next week, and are also considering enrollment for our daughter into the church’s preschool program. There are plenty of activities and community events if you want to participate in something beyond the typical Sunday service.
Overall a very nice church and experience!
