The Sims Family

My name is Adam Sims. My wife Daneta, my two sons, my daughter and I live in Denton, TX. We have recently moved back to the area. We lived here years ago when I was a bi-vocational youth minister at one of the Southern Baptist churches here in Denton. I resigned my position due to the demands of raising a young family. After moving back to Bolivar, MO for a season, we became part of a fellowship of house churches there that were actually started by believers I had served with in another SBC church up there. WOW! What a relief it was to simply be the church. We truly felt a great weight lift off of our shoulders after the first time we met in the house church. We were giddy driving home from that first meeting. We do miss them. However, the Lord has us here in Denton at this time. We are currently "attending" a non-denominational church here in Denton. We have some dear friends, that we served with in the past, here that are very involved in this church. It is exhausting at times. I am also going to RN school and working full-time as an LVN why my wife stays home to raise and educate our children. So, we really don't feel we have the energy to start a simple church in our home which can involve much education for those new to the idea. I truly feel that the Lord's plan for our family is in this non-denominational church right now. The church does have small groups that meet in homes. These times are a blessing, but, I feel guilty when I can't be in church on Sunday, at men's group on Tuesday, my wife be in women's group on Wednesday as some of the men and sons meet at the same time. Please pray that we can share the wonderful discovery of the simple church with this group of believers. Also, I am always interested to hear how different house churches live life together.
