I have been attending this church for 5 years. I started attending because I worked on Sundays and…read morewanted a church that also meets on Saturday nights. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached every week and the sermons are engaging and really applicable to my life. The worship is contemporary and very well done. They encourage community through small groups which helps you feel loved and known even in a larger church. I've seen people in my small group literal posture change. They went from the looking like they carry the weight of the world to freedom in Christ. God used this church to draw me closer to Him and as a single, late-20s, professional, I don't feel like the only one in my same walk of life. I had a hard time finding a church before that had young people in it and not just families and older couples. I've since moved to Grand Rapids and still drive 40 mins twice a week for church and small group because that's where I'm growing. The results speak for themselves. I truly believe that they wouldn't have grown so significantly in the last 8 years, planted and trained so many other churches in the area, or see so many lives transformed by the power of the Gospel if the Lord was not moving here. Is this place perfect? Absolutely not. It's still full of broken sinners with a lot of crap in their lives. They are obsessed with free T-shirt's. But if you are looking for a church where you can get help, worship, and be known, I'd recommend giving it a try.

This review is only for the fish fry that St. Al's puts on each year during Lent. I went for the…read morefirst time this year (2024). It's super popular because they're one of a few spots in town that has walleye. We arrived around 5 pm and there was a massive line. I'm talking like a theme park style line where you think you're getting close to the end, just to go around a turn and bam - more line! We ended up waiting just over an hour in line, which is bonkers. This was my first time trying this fish fry, and I wasn't in a hurry, but I'd recommend trying to go either super early or closer to the end time if you don't want to wait as long. Prices were in line with other fish fries in the area ($15 for adults) and you can get either baked or fried walleye, fries or baked potato, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. They also offer different desserts for a donation. Once you actually get to the food line, it's efficient. I got the fried walleye and Nate tried the baked. The fish was really good! Perfectly fried and the baked fish wasn't dry. The fries were just okay and the mac and cheese and coleslaw were your typical GFS fare. People came around to our table and cleared our trash as we were done eating. There was plenty of seating available and they also had water and pop to drink. Overall I'm glad I got to try St. Al's fish fry, but I don't think it was quite worth the long wait. I'd come back next year but maybe closer to the end! Parking in the area is also kind of tough - they have a small parking lot, but be prepared to park on a side street and walk a bit.
