David Crowder Band

Today was an amazing day! I woke up early (not the amazing part) and met two of my students, Marissa and Whitney, to head out on an early morning road trip. Why, you ask, would Stephanie wake up so early on a Sunday morning for a road trip? (If you know me, the only thing I usually get up early for is fishing.) For David Crowder, of course! Yes, that's right, the girls and I got the blessing of visiting Crowder at his home church of UBC (University Baptist Church) in Waco. The church was nothing like we expected. As the three of us are used to the mega church feel of Fellowship, the small, artsy, intimate feel of UBC was a welcomed surprise. We loved it! The congregation was probably around 300 and it was mostly college students (as Baylor University is close by). It was so layed back and comfortable. The ambiance of the church was amazing...see pictures. The worship was perfect (led by Crowder and band). And the message was powerful, challenging and energetic. The whole experience was definately worth the early morning and the road trip. There's no question about it, I'll definately be back on my next free Sunday! The only thing that would have made it better is if Kim was with me.
