Dom Perignon Patterson, VP of His district,
wants to be the next Doctrinal Pussycat.
He attended the latest Church and Change conference.
A church designed to meet you where you’re at.
We’re a group of people who just “came as we are” and discovered the adventure of the Christian Life. At our church, we want you to come as your are too. We worship on Sundays at 10 AM at the Old Settler’s Association Building in Round Rock, TX.
We’re casual!
When you visit CTR , dress casually and comfortably. We’re more interested in meeting you just as you are than we are in seeing you stylin’ in a power suit, or struttin’ that new skirt from the fashion stores. You’ll feel right at home in jeans or shorts.
We’re hungry!
Our Cafe’ Rock provides snacks, with coffee, bagels, donuts, fruit, and juices. If you didn’t get a chance to have breakfast, don’t worry! You can count on us to hold you over till your next big meal!
We’re friendly!
We strive to create a warm, friendly environment for you. We won’t surprise you by asking you to stand up or stick out in any way. We also won’t ask you to give us any money. We want you to be able to check us out without feeling singled out. No Pressure!
We’re relevant!
Our messages are meant to apply to your everyday life. They’re practical and filled with comfort. We believe that everyone needs to know what God expects of us, and what God offers us in His love. If you come to CTR, you’ll hear just what God has to say about this – straight from His Word, the Bible! With our upbeat music and our fun and creative worship, you’ll go home encouraged and equipped each week!---

Worship
We're casual!
When you visit CrossWalk, the very first thing we want you to know is that it's OK to relax. You can dress casually and comfortably if you'd like. You'll feel right at home in jeans or shorts. On the other hand, if wearing a suit and tie seems best to you, then bring it on! We simply want you to come as you are and hear loud and clear—you matter to God!We're hungry!
Bring an appetite. Our CrossWalk Cafe puts out a huge spread every Sunday, with great coffee, bagels and donuts, along with fruit and juice for the health-conscious. If you didn't get a chance to have breakfast, don't worry! You can count on CrossWalk to feed you body and soul!We're friendly!

Dom Perignon Patterson appeals to the weak in mind who like clichés, jaundiced views, and muddled thinking. The district deserves better.
"We believe that everyone needs to know what God expects of us, and what God offers us in his love. If you come to CrossWalk, you'll hear just what God has to say about this—straight from his Word, the Bible!"
Hmm...that sounds a lot like law and gospel. There's no false doctrine in either of these. Thanks for informing us about some quality churches!
OK fine, DP DP doesn't mind if people don't wear a shirt and tie. Did the Christ require sport coats? Where in Paul's epistles did he ask people to wear a tuxedo and come without hunger? Jesus miraculously fed at least 4,000 on a few occasions-- why can't CTR feed dozens before worship?
GJ, I'm missing the point of your post. I realize that you are simply quoting their website bulletins, but I also know that you disagree with DP and JG (the opposite of your signet) on fundamental teachings (specifically justification).
Question: Surely they are making God's Word relevant in the Baptist land of Texas where the true doctrine is irrelevant, but why is this post relevant?
Dom Perignon Patterson's theology: if it feels good, do it.
Pastor GJ, the dead-line for registering for Patterson's marriage retreat ended on the 17th. I'm sure if you write him a letter, he will say there is plenty of space. As for me I will sit that one out! Listen folks the guy is friends with ex-SP Gurgel. He is a Jeske pal and advertises TOG. And don't forget Baptist conferences and the Church and Money Changers.
In Christ,
from WELs church lady
Anon 4:53: false. that is your PERCEPTION of his theology... perception does not equal reality. I learned THAT at WLC... perhaps y'all need a good philosophy 101 class...
Perception is reality in WELS. Just trying reasoning with them.
