I need to find... in Lewisville(Fortworth), Texas..?

Question

Im moving to Lewisville/Fortworth for the summer..
I need to find a great Christian church.. one with an active youth group.. any suggestions?
I could also use a mall..

Whats the weather like, during the summer? should i be packing shorts and skirts?? I heard its a little humid.

Answer 1

Lewisville is a great area!

A few good churches in the area:
http://www.lakelandbaptist.org/
http://www.dentonbible.org/ (has an incredible youth program!)
http://www.thechurchofcorinth.org/

The mall in Lewisville is not the best in DFW, but it is a good mall. The website with a list of stores:

My favorite mall close to Lewisville:

Summer weather: HOT. HUMID (more than just a little). Summer lasts from April to early November. Here are the averages:

There is a lot to do here. When driving out of Dallas, you can't tell where it stops and other cities begin all the way to Lewisville. There are 2 colleges just up the road in Denton (about 10-15 minutes)--University of North Texas & Texas Woman's University (not just for women anymore!). SO there are always something going on up there. Lewisville is also between Grapevine and Frisco--both have lots of stuff to do!

And there are no more IHOP's or Wal marts' than any other town in America!!

Good luck and welcome to the area!

Answer 2

Fellowship in Grapevine is probably the church you're looking for. It's a great bible church and the Pastor, Ed Young is phenomenal.

It holds close to 4,000 per service and the youth group is quite large. :-)

It's right off of 121 which runs between Lewisville and Grapevine, only about 15 min away.

As for malls, you're in luck. You'll be right around the corner from Vista Ridge mall. About 15 up 121 and you're at the shopping mecca perhaps of the USA where just about any store you can think of is there. 10 min south, across from the Fellowship church is Grapevine Mills mall, a Mills outlet mall.

As for part time jobs, retail is probably a good bet. Restaurants are good as are some mall stuff if you're looking for that type of position.

As for weather, HOT! Not too humid, but it's hot. Many years we'll have 30+ days > 95 degrees.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

It's very hot and humid in the summer. You will be drenched in sweat by the time you walk to your car. It will still be hot when the sun goes down too.
Lewisville isn't the entertainment hub of Dallas, but it's within driving distance of a lot of places. Why Lewisville?
There is a ton of shopping in Dallas. Vista Ridge Mall is located in Lewisville.
Arlington, TX has Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor along with the not so great Texas Rangers.
There are a lot of restaurants along I35 and they aren't all IHOPS.

Answer 4

There is a very good Pentecostal church in Lewisville; check it out. A good mall is a few miles west; the Grapevine Mills mall. It's just north of the west end of I-635.
A good summer job would be at Six Flags in Arlington, if you have transportation.
It does get hot there in the summer, but not unbearbly hot. 90 degrees around New York is probably worse than 100 degrees around Dallas.

Answer 5

i am not sure about a church but there is a good mall around there call great vine mills also there is vista ridge but great vine mills is closer the summer here is freakishly hot bring shorts tank tops skirts fans everything that will keep you cool texas has very wierd weather so pack for anything one day it will be rainy and the very next it will be clear sky there is alot to do sometimes it can be boring but it can be like that anywhere bring swimsuits there is a ton of waterparks because its so hot i would recommend sonic or a movie theater as a job to me giving people food and checking people out would not be fun i hope i helped

Answer 6

well its pretty hot in the middle of the summer so make sure you have alot of shorts and tanks,

well it really depends on how old you are as in what there is to do.

you could try for a job at a pool as a life guard but that also depends on your age,

and yes we are full of both.... have fun out here and good luck
