We recently joined this church over the last 2 months and have grown to love the experience. We are…read morea Christian couple in our 40s and 50s with a 9 year old daughter, and here is what we love about the church: 1) The band and the music is amazing. We are fans of Christian rock and we are so impressed by the talent and passion of the musicians. We can't help but feel the spirit and sing, dance and sometimes cry along. 2) The kids program is the best in the Westside. There is a four story kids building on the campus and the teachers make it fun with games, video Biblical stories, crafts and meaningful write-ups for children to engage. 3) The church is very welcoming. Every Sunday, new members are encouraged to register and connect. The church then invites you to a welcome lunch with the pastor and to join a small group or topic based event / prgoram. We just signed up for a 3 month Sacred Marriage Group. One of the volunteers also took us for a tour of the church and campus on our first visit, and there is coffee available for the community. After the music portion, you are asked to greet and get to know someone new next to you. It's very sweet and Community oriented. 4) The sermons are action-oriented and based in biblical stories and teachings. We are given a way to reflect and take action each week, which is a nice way to absorb the learnings from the sermon. I do like the Biblical readings and translations and would love even more of this because I feel the Biblical teachings ground us in the source substance and weight. We look forward to experiencing more and are grateful to have found a gentle and spiritual home for our family

They are constantly giving opportunities to meet others also. For many years (20+) I didn't go to church at all until I found JOF and fell in love. We moved away and miss this church so much and sometimes make the long drive to come back. We went for about 18 months every Sunday. I simply cannot believe other people on here gave it a bad review, so odd. The worship is incredible and if you're coming in late you're really missing the chance to be properly warmed up to hear the message!!

The pastor was incredibly nice and very interested in my story as to what brought me to the church. A really nice usher walked me to my seat. She prayed over me. It was an incredibly beautiful prayer. The music was so well done. I knew all the songs and it made me feel happy that I had chosen this church. The pastor preached right from the Bible he was great. When the service was over,again someone met me as I was walking out and invited me over to the information booth. I look forward to going back. They have many service options and are just really nice people. It gets a 10 for my rating one being the lowest 10 being the highest.
