Why More Texans Are Joining Non-Denominational Churches
In the constantly evolving spiritual environment in the Lone Star State, a major shift in the culture is happening as more and more residents are moving towards a non-traditional religious identity to the benefit of congregations that are independent. A lot of people who are looking for an non-denominational religious church are doing this because they want a faith experience that emphasizes personal relationships and the impact on communities over traditional religious structures. This is especially evident in the booming neighborhoods of large Texas centers such as Dallas, Houston, and Austin which are home to new residents who are seeking modern interpretations of the ancient beliefs. Through removing the barriers of religious "branding," these churches have created an inviting "front porch" for a large and diverse community that includes long-time Texans as well as newcomers.
