It was very evident that your work is to do (at your church) and that is not the work of the God we serve. Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. There was nothing but a 10 min message and a guest taking about some organization (which seem for a good cause but that is just part of an announcement - for it should be)

I attended this church from about 6 years old until high school. On an average week, I would spend…read moreat least 10 to 15 hours a week at this place, including multi-day revivals, Saturday prayer mornings, Wednesday nights, and of course, Sunday mornings, not to mention additional holiday events. My mom and I started attending this church and upon our first visit, we were approached and invited to lunch with an "elder", who began courting my mom and ended up marrying her, against my will. Suffice to say, this man was not a godly man, and the church treated our family like outcasts instead of helping me. I was made fun of by the youth group and called a loner, was ignored, isolated, and humiliated to sit on the front row of this church with my "family", yet we were cordially ignored and avoided, eventually being asked to leave the church. It always confused me, how people who sang about helping others, grace, helping the helpless, chose to turn their backs on me. When I finally had the strength to leave Irving in 2008, I called my so called pastor of this church to seek guidance, support and finally use my voice and share the truth, something that I had not been able to do since 6 years old. No matter how many times I called his office, how many messages I left, I was repeatedly told he was busy, or unavailable. I even reached out to his family, which was of no use. It broke my heart, that a place that boasted they were so full of God's spirit, could reject our family instead of intervening. An entire organization who Saw ME as an embarrassment instead of being an advocate for a defenseless little girl. I can never again take this church seriously as they have put their money where their mouth is and have shown me for over a decade, their true colors. My advice would be hard pass. Like most churches, they will have modern affects. Fresh coffee. Bright, shiny smiles. Even wonderful people who are being unknowingly exploited for free labor AKA serving, however the "warm fuzzy" feeling that coats you as you walk in isn't the holy spirit. It's a song and dance to get you to fund their illusion and kush lifestyle. So incredibly sad that the gaudy, prideful and arrogant people of this church never took the time to see I needed help, that my mom was too worn down and emotionally weak to take care of me and leave the "Elder". We were surrounded a sea of religious leaders who never intended to get their pretty shoes dirty. Thanks for everything, Calvary Church, what a gem!

Many interesting projects and community outreach projects happening here. Very collaborative with the community. I loved everyone I met and feel so welcome here. There's a coffee shop onsite, study areas, lounge areas, kids indoor play areas, giant wrap around parking lot. I loved that it has a band and they're not blasting loud like other churches. They have guitars and singers, lyrics are displayed on screen. It's easy to sing along. The lyrics were so beautiful. The service was great and I loved the message Pastor Barry gave today about always being the light in any challenges.

I work in a hospital and it has been just how many people would think. Scary, exhausting, sad. IBC members have been beyond amazing with how encouraging they have been with the hospital staff. Y'all, they put up signs of encouragement near the employee entrance. They have gathered in the early mornings to clap and cheer when we arrive for the day and the night shift is leaving. They have drawn beautiful, uplifting quotes on the sidewalk in chalk. Signs that they are praying for us! They have even supplied breakfast for the staff! Thank you, IBC, for all you have done. I don't think you can truly understand how much this means to all of us, especially how much it means to me!

Mater Dei Catholic Church is an apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) within…read morein the Catholic Diocese of Dallas. All Masses and Sacraments are offered in the (Tridentine Mass) Traditional Form. If you're a "say the black, do the red" kinda traditional Catholic you need to come visit our church. If you don't know liturgical Latin, don't worry, we have books that help you read along in English. I use the book every time and I've been coming here for years, it won't single you out as a newbie. When you come into the church first thing you will notice is that it's really quiet and no one is chatting. This isn't us being unfriendly, it's all of us showing reverence and respect for those praying before mass. It's the "sacred silence". We chat and greet outside the chapel area after mass. Many of us use lace mantillas to cover our heads aka: chapel veil. If you don't have one, don't worry, ask any of us ladies about them and we will help. I usually carry and extra one just in case someone new needs one or someone forgot theirs. If you come to visit, dress modestly, bring a sweater as it's really cold in there even on hot days. Bathrooms are across the walkway in the other building a few steps outside. There is a really nice and well stocked bookstore with rosaries, books, gifts, free coffee, and all kinds of goodies. At Mater Dei, priests are available to hear confession during or after almost all Masses in the old school wooden booths at the back of the church. When you enter, kneel, gather your thoughts, wait for Father to open the screen door then begin. There are sensors on the kneelers that turn the light outside to occupied status so that no one will interrupt you. There are two booths, one on each side of the priest, if he doesn't open your screen yet that means he's still hearing the confession in the other booth. Don't knock in the screen, it makes them grumpy and he knows you are there. They're pretty well sound proofed but keep your voice low.
