One of my good friends from high school got married here this late afternoon and had both his ceremony and reception here. I don't believe the newlywed couple attend this church, but just used this church as a venue for their nuptials. The fellowship hall has the traditional pew style seating with a sound board that can be controlled on the 2nd floor (which I do want to mention that the wedding photographer took advantage of, by taking a group photo with all who attended this joyful occasion with the bride and groom. I am sure this photo will come out awesome). The fellowship hall looks like they can probably sit at most around 200- ish people comfortably. There are a few restrooms around (important when looking for a wedding venue for the lucky couple and your future guests) that are outside of the fellowship hall. There is also a small banquet hall that can be used as a reception with rectangle tables and chairs available for use. There is also a kitchen attached with working refrigerator to the banquet hall so that your hired caterer has access to one to prep your food. There is also a small stage in the banquet hall as well and set up with mic use in case you would like your best man and/ or maid of honor to give a speech. Now I do have to mention one con of this church would be is that they have a small parking lot and that parking will most likely be residential if you come late to service (or if you decide to have your wedding here). But residential parking isn't hard and there is plenty of it, just be sure to pay attention to the signs (seems like the limitations of street parking occur during the weekday and not weekends). Also there is no air conditioning in the banquet hall but there are ceiling fans. This may not be an issue if you have an event in the evening or in the cooler months but it was rather very warm tonight, especially with the catered food, once the restaurant the new couple hired started heading up the food in the buffet style warmers. Even with the doors open, it was still pretty warm. I also wanted to mention that there is a cute little playground on site here, which I believe this church also provides a school (I saw a sign about that when I first arrived, but did not look in detail). All in all, I think that if you are looking for an affordable small venue for your wedding, this place will definitely do. You can use this church for both your ceremony and reception hall, as that will be more cost effective (I got married almost 3 years ago and can tell you weddings are definitely not cheap and no matter what people tell you, it is rarely about the bride and groom, lol). It also makes it much more convenient for your guests to come to one location for both parts of your wedding instead of 2 locations. You are also able to hire your own caterer (or if you are really ambitious, make your own food or have a potluck style wedding...why not?), which also saves you additional dollars if you are on a tight budget. I think if I was still looking for a church to attend, I would have possibly considered this location just because I do prefer smaller churches over larger ones. I feel that there is just more unity with a smaller church than a larger one (I have attended both size churches and that is just how I feel with a smaller church) because it is just easier to get to know your congregation and members a little better. But again, because I have not attended a service here and so I can't confirm that statement. But again, if you are looking for a nice small local church for your wedding, this one will do the job.

This church opens its doors to everyone that is one of many things I love about this church. Some people wear jeans some people wear dresses. We come as we are.

So if you are looking for a church come here you are welcome!

Overall, I recommend this spiritual house of God.

We previously came from a Catholic parish that was very loving in its own way, but it was harder for our family to feel consistently connected and engaged. From the moment we visited here, something felt different. The teaching is deeply rooted in Scripture and explained in a way that connects to real life -- marriage, parenting, personal growth, and everyday challenges. The pastor doesn't just read the Bible; he helps you understand how to live it. That relatability has made the messages stay with us throughout the week. What has impacted me the most is what happened about a month after we started attending -- my daughter thanked me for bringing our family closer to God. That moment alone meant everything and confirmed that we were in the right place. The sense of community here is genuine. We didn't just feel welcomed -- we built real relationships quickly. The church is also very intentional about making sure every age group is engaged and learning at their level, which has made a huge difference for our whole family. We're incredibly grateful we were introduced to this church. It has made our faith more alive, more practical, and something we now grow in together as a family.

The place they are at now is a bit small fits about 120 which is now packed. But love the closeness we have with each other.

I know my fiance and I found this church through divine appointment!…read more Here's our story of how we found this church: They had signs up that they were having a car wash for $1. We decided to stop by, thinking we were going to give a little more to try to bless the church. When we got to the parking lot, THEY gave US a dollar and let us know that they were just out there washing cars, giving dollars, and blessing the community - no questions asked! We thought they were crazy, so naturally, we decided to check out their Sunday service to see what they were about. I gotta admit I wasn't convinced at first. Too many churches now-a-days preach what they think people want to hear. However, after about a month of attending church services, we knew this was our home church! Pastor Doug quickly became our mentor, friend, and therapist! Haha. In fact, he will be marrying us in about 2 weeks! He is very knowledgeable about so many topics and always preaches directly from The Bible. Pastor Doug is funny and so relatable, making it easier to understand difficult Biblical concepts that I've struggled with in the past. The church also has Grace Groups, which allow you to build relationships with other members that you might not have a chance to build on Sunday mornings. I've also never once felt pressured or obligated to give money, join the church as an official member, or forced to feel like I need to be a perfect Christian to be apart of their family. At the same time, God is definitely using Pastor Doug and the church members/staff to convict me to be more obedient to God, in the most loving and non-judgemental way possible. I joke with friends that I was so relieved to find out that they were "normal". They aren't on their pedestal looking down on me for barely coming back to God in the last couple of years. They hurt, feel sad, happy, angry, etc just like me! I've never felt more close to God and am INSTANTLY seeing how God is moving in my life - I'm letting go of past guilt, letting go of those feelings of not being good enough and finding my identity in Christ, learning how to let go of control/overthinking and letting Him do His thing...It's amazing! If you're looking for a home church or even if you're just curious about what wonderful plans God has for you, reach out, come visit, or join a Grace group meeting.
