If you are reading this blog you have found Dallas' Best Kept Secret.  Recently it was reported in the paper that Dallas could be considered the "Vatican City" of the "prosperity gospel".  That is not shocking to me but it does make me sad.  Our city is blessed with so very many churches of every denomination and every size but I find nothing in the Gospel of Jesus Christ that offers us "prosperity" if we are those who are the followers of the Lord Jesus.

Cochran Chapel stands onthe corner of Northwest Hwy and Midway Rd here in Dallas as a beacon of light reflecting the "good news".  We are not a large membership congregation but we are are large congregation.  Large being defined by our active participation in worship, our strong commitment to missional outreach and social justice, our ever-deepening desire to grow spiritually, our on-going dialogue of the important issues we face as Christians and our inclusive hospitality that allows room for all of God's children.

We most definitely find ourselves outside the walls of the prosperity gospel but we believe that we are firmly entrenched on the ever challenging road of following in the foot steps of the One who stood with the least and the last and the lost; in the footsteps of Him who prayed to discern the will of His Father and then offered us His Spirit to walk where He would lead.

I am biased, yes, because I am privileged to serve as the Pastor of this historic congregation which is not willing to rest on its 166 year past but continues to find the ways to grow into the future.  In the vast number of wonderful Christian churches in the city of Dallas........you have found Dallas' Best Kept Secret.  Come give us a visit, you'll want to come back and we would love to have you journey with us.
