Missio Dei Anglican Church — Attraction in Houston

I went here for almost 3 years. It started well. I got a lot of help at first. The lead priest and his family were there for me and my girlfriend many times. I had many meetings with him.

The time of the incident in which my ex lied about the details of our...

He's continually serving and giving, and he and Deacon Mike are great teachers. I've learned more theology from them in a short time, than in my entire life as a Christian. It's a great...
