It's just the right size, not another mega church and not so small you feel like a sore thumb when you walk thru the door because you're so obviously a stranger...... but small enough that the pastor actually knows your name (well, assuming you introduce yourself). Give it a try, maybe you'll find your new family like we did

We didn't know what to expect - the parking lot looks pretty full but we were able to find a spot close to the back entrance. They had great classes for the kids, and when we went up to the chapel, we were greeted by a bunch of warm, welcoming people. The main pastor was among one of the people who greeted us. It felt like such a welcoming place from the get-go. The music was upbeat, modern yet with some traditional hymns. The crowd was of mixed-age people, and they are all very kind and welcoming to us. We also really loved the sermon by Pastor Swan. Other than making the scripture relatable to everyday living, Mr. Swan was definitely passionate about the scriptures and the teachings of Jesus. We'll continue to attend this church while we are in town.

PREACH!! So the…read morehubby and I have been shopping for a new church, something intimate with a mix of traditional and contemporary music. We do not want that nightclub masquerading as a church type of atmosphere and you know exactly what I mean. We attended this type of church in the past. It was relatively small and just starting to grow. They had painted all of the walls and the ceiling black and added large round tables and chairs. The music was very loud and very contemporary performed from a stage that looked as if it was set up for comedy night. The final straw was when they started taking old secular music and applying Christian lyrics so while they are singing about Jesus all I can hear are the original lyrics to the Soft Cell classic: "Touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease". These are not the lyrics I want to focus on while in church. All they needed to do was add a shot of Hennessy and you would not have been able to distinguish the church from the club. Deuces! Let's be honest, SOME church experiences are so watered down now that it's just ridiculous. People just want to feel comfortable literally and figuratively. Consider this: Church is not supposed to make you comfortable, it is supposed to make you think and feel! And if thinking too hard makes you a little uncomfortable or brings on feelings of guilt, well check yourself, because a little righteous guilt never hurt anyone. Some people need to be "woke"! If you are always dressed to the nines in the latest gear while your children's basic needs are not being met, you need to feel uncomfortable, if you are running around with your best friend's husband, thinking it is perfectly fine, you need to feel uncomfortable to the point that you change your behavior. I think people avoid "real" church to avoid addressing their behavior and because they don't want to change their lifestyle. If you are not there to be challenged and changed, what's the point? Just remember, some things change whether we like it or not and I can guarantee you, it will be much easier for you to initiate that change than to have God decide that you need to be corrected by His mighty hand. You have been officially warned. So now allow me to step away from the pulpit and get on with this review. This church is very simple with a mature population, (Grown Folks Church). Since we were more focused on the message, this was not an issue for us. Here's the deal: You can expect to be greeted in an authentic and sincere manner, (None of those, I just completed greeter training vibes), you will not have to be shuttled in from the local Walmart parking lot because it's not that big, the lights are on because they actually use bibles, (Yes girl like back in the day!). They also have hymnals because they not only provide a bit of contemporary inspiration but they also give you a little bit of "old school" sauce which suits my husband perfectly. Those drums on the stage are not to "rock out" and make your ears bleed, they are actually a very subtle and appropriate accompaniment to the other instruments. Finally, there is no fancy café or family fitness center (been there too), just church. After prayer, music and the announcements were completed, the children were dismissed to "children's church" like when I was a kid. Awww! We then began with the message. Now if you are looking for a flashy preacher who yells, screams and performs from the pulpit, this is not the one. Pastor Gibbs will talk TO you not AT you, he has a great cadence when speaking, (not too slow and not too fast), and he will challenge you to think about what is being said and how it applies to your everyday life. I like that! He uses his bible for points of reference and you can easily follow along and take notes. I use a traditional King James translation so I appreciate having the same and other translations that are close and applicable. I have been in situations where the translation used was unfamiliar to me and so far removed from the original text that it was just pointless. I like being able to take notes and I really abhor the fill in the blank pages, (like 3rd grade), used by certain churches because they don't allow for free thinking and sometimes you are so distracted by what goes into that little blank that you lose focus. Again, they want to make it easy and comfortable. Back to the church: My husband and I both enjoyed the service and will definitely be returning. I still remember the message and know that it will carry me through the rest of the week as it should. Great experience!
