Singing Oaks, Denton, Texas
Singing Oaks is partnering with Mission Alive to plant a church in Savannah, Texas (east of Denton down highway 380). Elder Joe Keck participated in three Discovery Labs representing the church to select Les and Heatherly McDaniel as church planters. The McDaniels are currently forming and equipping a team to plant the church in an area that will grow from 9,000 to 90,000 people in the next ten years. Jerry Browder, elder of Singing Oaks who also serves as treasurer on the Mission Alive board, commented that planting the church provides the Singing Oaks church with “practical, hands-on experience in reaching populations and communities that our church cannot otherwise reach.” The church “sees new models and new ways of reaching people among us.” He said, “We are observing God’s work in the world by engaging us in his mission.” They are experiencing God’s mission across the street (where a church has been planted in an apartment complex), across the ocean (where many churches have been planted among the Sukuma people of Tanzania), and across the way (in Savannah). We praise God for his mighty work through Singing Oaks!
