I've been looking for a home church for several years. Now that my daughter is growing up I want her to be raised in church like I was. But it is so difficult 'shopping' around, especially with no one to go with!
If you are still looking and want something close to where you live, I live in Mabelvale which is part Pulaski and part Saline Counties...if you live near that area...I can give you some ideas.
I go to a WONDERFUL church in N. Little Rock and would love for your family to accompany us. I would invite you to look at our small website at friendlychapel.org but words can never express how much this church means to me and the surrounding community. I have been going there for 20 of my 30 years and have yet to find a church that I felt as welcome or unjudged as I did at this one. If you would like to be my guest, you can e-mail me at ____@____.com my church isn't right for you, I certainly hope you find one that is!! Good luck!
We LOVE our church, First Assembly of God, in NLR. I invite you to come visit us. It's located behind the Golden Corral near McCain Mall. You can learn some about the church at our website, www.firstnlr.com.
We have a place for anyone who wants to join us and has a heart for God, or wants to learn more about Him! Your daughter will love going to the "Backyard" preschool ministry, and we even have a ministry for single moms. We have services at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:30. Different Sunday school classes meet at all three times, too. Our midweek service is on Wed. night at 7:00.
Our church's "motto", if you can call it that, is "Every Soul Matters" and we do our best to make everyone feel welcome.
We attend the 8:30 service and Sunday school at 10:00 (First Families). Hope to see you there sometime! God Bless.
Yeah, St Mark on 12th St has daycare! Full Council in NLR has teen churches and other youth ministry activities.
I myself have tried numerous churches. We have decided to settle at Fellowship Bible Church. It has great resources for mothers too, as well as, great bible teaching and wonderful Sunday school for your children. When you try it, be sure to fill out the visitor card. You can call the church if you want to just do a mom's bible study or something. They don't require that you be a member. It seems like a big church, but once you start to find out about it, it is very cozy.

It's non-denom but they translate like baptist. They have a fantastic kids church. I can tell you so much about the place but the website covers it better than me.
We go to Parkway Place Church (right next to Kohls in Little Rock). We have two different types of services. The people are welcoming and friendly. (We also have free coffee and sometimes doughnuts). :-)
I don't know how far you're willing to drive - but Central Baptist Church in NLR is AWESOME.
We moved back to this area in September and spent a couple of months looking for a church. CBC is the most loving, Christ-centered church I have EVER been to. They have tons of ways to get involved, and are very outreach oriented (and also have a wonderful children's program).
Please check out the website (there are also sermons available online)
Let me know if you have any questions! We'd love to see you and your daughter there! (I have a 3 year old son - and they'd be in the same class : )

Hi! Looks like you've had a lot of responses. We attend Geyer Springs First Baptist, right off of I-30 and I really like it there. I'm married with a 3 year old and they have a wonderful preschool program and also singles departments. It is a strong bible believing church. Good luck with this, it is so important to find the right place for you & your family. Let me know if you would like to more.
Hi, I am actually new to Little Rock and looking for a church as well. We did not grow up in church and really like a relaxed, good music, church like we had before and so far we have visited Rock Creek (i liked the message, but it was very contemporary with concrete floors, and felt a little like i should've been on tv) and we've tried Grace on Cantrell which i believe is "an offshoot" of Fellowship, and we really liked the message, the music, and the children's classed were pretty small. The church we liked so much in TN was very big, and I think we actually liked Grace being smaller so the kids could actually get to know the other kids in their class. It was relaxed, had coffee (not sure if it was free like our previous church), but nice. We are wanting to try Fellowship, but will probably wait until they move to Rahling Rd. and we also wanted to try St. James Methodist. They have different services, some more traditional or contemporary. Also, a friend of mine told us to try the Summit Church which she said was across the bridge. I agree that it's very hard taking 3 kids from church to church and leaving them with different people everytime, so good luck, hope this helps and let us know what you find too!
agape church very good worship and kid thru teens classes on napa valley and rodney parham rd.
We moved here 3 years ago, and it was very difficult for us to find the right place. It took us well over a year! We eventually felt Fellowship Bible Church was the best place for us and our children. Fellowship is non-demonational as well, and they focus on ministry. They teach my children what I was taught growing up, but in a fun, inviting manner. (I was raised So. Baptist) My kids are 9 and 6 and they LOVE going to church. We have not regretted our decision. It is a large church, but don't let that intimidate you. There are booths set up all around to help you plug in somewhere. Good luck with your search!
I attend a Full Counsel Christian Fellowship in North Little Rock. Dr. Silas Johnson is the Pastor. We would love to have you visit us on Sunday! We have two service times, 9:00am and 11:00am. Full counsel offers nursery for both services. I love my church, church family and Pastor I have grown since coming to Full Counsel.
I'm a wife and a mother of 5 children. I have attended church there for the past 8 years.
It's just outside of Little Rock on the SW side toward Bryant on I30, but if you're willing to make the drive, our preschool and singles ministries at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church of Little Rock are awesome! I have a three year old girl and she LOVES going to church. We'll be there for Cubbies tonight. There is a visitor's desk just inside the preschool lobby and it's super easy to find. We'd love to help you! Several of my friends are Sunday morning preschool greeters so tell them M. invited you and I'm sure they will help you! My name is M. Koontz.
I didn't even see someone else already responded from our church also! Hope to meet you soon!
I attend a church in a small community outside of Little Rock. It is in the East End Community going towards Sheridan. It is called East Union Baptist Church. It is the most wonderful church I have ever attended! My husband and I looked for a church for over 2years! This church has wonderful programs for all ages. You should visit us!
