On August 13, 1954, Reverend George D. West announced that the Tennessee Christian Missionary Society, which is the state organization of the Disciples of Christ churches in Tennessee, purchased the 1802 Grand Ave property for its new headquarters. The TCMS began in 1894 as the result of “movements that were backlashes against the rigid denominationalism of the early 1800s.

The missionary society and instrumental music were quickly seeping into the Texas congregations, and it was only a matter of time before the drift would become official. In 1886, the Austin State Meeting was held by the churches of Christ in Texas (Tant 57). This event marked the implementation of the missionary society into the mainstream Texas congregations at the time. A handful of faithful gospel preachers firmly resisted this innovation, but they were outnumbered and defeated by the progressive element in the Texas congregations (Ibid. 67-70).

The opposition to the updated health curriculum comes from two main religious groups. The first group is the Evangelicals. The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) has sent several mails to the Minister of Education, asking for the opportunity for the parents to be able to participate in the development of the curriculum. They argue that it is the role of parents to “ensure the religious and moral education of their children” to be “in conformity with their own convictions.” In the letter, the members of EFC also argue that the government should provide alternative courses of study for those who may find the changes incompatible with their beliefs.

The congregation’s growth, generated by Joel’s succession of his father’s role as head pastor, made Osteen a household name and launched him to stardom. This made his business as a minister and author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, incredibly lucrative, allowing him to surpass the success and wealth of his father, tying televangelist and America ideals together by embodying the American ideal of social
I attended this church for about 2 years when I started my sophomore year at DBU and was offered a position in children’s ministry at First Baptist Colleyville. Bent-tree and FBC were the two largest churches I have been a part of both between 3,000-5,000 in total Sunday attendance. Both follow the same basic order of service.
