Stonehill Church has been our home church now for almost 5 years. We live in North Meridian, and have several churches near us, but travel 30 minutes each week to this wonderful church. Pastor Doug is the real deal and preaches from God's word in a way that speaks right to each of us each week. His wife Heather is there each week greeting members by name (incredible memory) and always is supportive and loving to each Stonehill member. We thought we would never be able to find a Church like the one we left in Orange County (Saddleback Church), but Stonehill reminds us of a young, growing Saddleback Church, which is always ready and willing to serve its members, help each of us grow in our faith, and serve the community. We love our church home.

What's not so good 1) parking tests humanity, 2) MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!!!. They do offer ear plugs at the welcome center, but they shouldn't need to. Is the music bad so you have to crank up the sound to overcome mistakes, or what's the deal? My wife's and my ears have been ringing non-stop this past month after we have been there, and the ear plugs don't really work to stop the damage being done to people's hearing. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME PLEASE!!! We are going on three years at Rock Harbor Church in Meridian, and we love this church, but we may have to watch sermons remotely if not fixed! Real stinking people should still know how to work the soundboard. Note, I'll remove my review if we can actually hear people singing in the next few weeks, instead of a wall of sound coming from the organ, drums and midi-guitars. Update 8/09 Well, I didn't think it was possible, but the music has gotten louder, so I really can't recommend if you don't want to need hearing aids sooner than normal. Also notice less people singing and clapping. Wish the worship team would play sets without their monitor ear plugs since they don't seem to know it's out of hand. Love the church, not the rock concert!

Thank you, Henry!

My wife and I started attending this church in December of last year, right after we had moved to…read moreIdaho. After trying a couple different churches, we settled on Ten Mile Christian Church. We loved the deeply well-thought and theological sermons, as well as the charisma and sense of humor of Pastor Henry. We also appreciated that they didn't come on too strong when it came to getting connected, as this had been a problem at a previous church we had tried to attend. We have enjoyed our time at TMC, and we both have participated in various ministries. However, there are a couple problems that are unfortunately leading us to find a new home church. For one, while all of the sermons preach on internal transformation, there are a lot of topics that we believe still need to be discussed in the church that TMC doesn't touch on. These include topics like homosexuality, politics, abortion, etc. Obviously, these are the more "controversial" topics in Christianity, which we feel is the reason why TMC doesn't touch on these. TMC is a very large church that obviously takes their business and outreach side very seriously. The only time we've heard Pastor Henry touch on any of these was when he brought up LGBTQ+ pastors and all he really had to say on it was something along the lines of "I personally don't agree with it". This is a problem because the Bible very clearly goes against LGBTQ+ pastors. It seems like they sacrifice talking about the controversial things in order to keep the business and outreach side in check, which my wife and I believe is never okay. We believe a church should touch on every biblical topic, both the pretty and the ugly. This really hit us point blank when we saw that they not only celebrate but actively promote halloween, and we're not just talking about "trunk or treat" (which has its own problems in and of itself). They have a "youth halloween party", even using the cross as a halloween decoration on their handout. My wife and I have found that it takes very minimal research to find out that halloween is not something followers of Christ should participate in. That's not to say that every Christian who does celebrate it is going to hell, but to have a whole church taking part in it just feels blatantly wrong, once again, sacrificing God's word and commandments for outreach. Due to these reasons, we are now looking for a new church, one that perhaps treats the Bible more authoritatively. We will always keep TMC in our thoughts and prayers.

I wasn't going to leave a review at all but felt it necessary to let others know they don't have to…read morebe afraid of the people here. Especially once they leave. They will stalk you, harass you, verbally assault you and threaten you when you leave - particularly if you share any of the abuse that has occurred during your time here. But it's all empty words used in an attempt to intimidate and control you. Hold your head high, flip off Mark Bryan when you see him, and rebuild your life despite the lies they will tell about you. You deserved better. Now give yourself better. They will never admit their fakeness. Their abuse. Their lack of accountability or the lies they tell about others. If you need to get it out like I did, do so. But don't expect maturity, love or understanding to come from a single member. It won't. It doesn't matter how messy an individual's healing journey becomes, it's far more noble than the two-faced backstabbing that happens at Harvest Church. Because it's authentic and real which you will not find here. To the new people offended at the negative reviews: Just because they haven't hurt you (yet), doesn't make past abuse okay. It's still wrong what they did and your reviews only further support the accusation of brainwashing here. Every cult that has ever existed consisted of followers who were trained to believe that their leaders were better than "the others". For example, to state this church preaches the truth "unlike other churches" is proof that this manipulative tactic is being implemented. I understand though because I was once brainwashed into believing the same things as well. But thirty years and the seats are still empty is not "God's favor". God does not "favor" this place. There was a time that was powerful, but they destroyed their own house. Now it will never be what it could have been. But stay if you like. Write argumentative reviews meant to discredit other's truth. Believe the delusions spun before your face. You're only fooling yourself. Keep praying for the "harvest", while surrounding churches overflow with members. Post online the one time a donation to a food bank is made, just like the Pharisees bragged about their good deeds. And above all else - remember that the pastors are the true victims here. Your poor, helpless pastors that can "do nothing" and need you all to defend them. How they have treated others when they left, is also how they will treat you. It's just a fact. Your pain will be ignored and dismissed with arrogant 5 star reviews by your "genuine" friendships. Oh - you think you're special? I did too. In fact, there was pressure to marry the pastor's son even. Now they say I was "always a problem" and they're "better off". All in the name of "Jesus." Because that's how "Jesus" talked about people - isn't it? Leaving was the best decision I ever made. I don't struggle financially, anymore. I am working towards a PsyD. I moved out of low-income housing. I get to choose who I date. My friends have my back, rather than talk behind it...on and on I could go. My life is beautiful, successful and peaceful. I couldn't be happier or more grateful for where I am today. But this place says the "devil" led me "astray". Please. I was a single mom who worked a full-time job and couldn't afford food for the 10 years I attended because I tithed instead. When the church becomes more important than your family or your home - THAT'S the devil. P.S. I fully stand by what I wrote. And I will stand by what I wrote all the way to a courtroom if need be. The Bryan's use the tactic of fear mongering to discourage members from talking about their hurtful experiences here by teaching them that talking about it is illegal and "slander". I am not afraid and am waiting to be served, Mark and DD.

If you're looking for an unapologetically Bible-believing church, I highly recommend visiting TVBC…read more They describe themselves as "still church", an apt description: they still use the KJV, and still sing hymns from a hymnal, thereby preventing modernist twistings of Scripture as well as modernist man-centric "worship", so-called. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, after all! And the true Word of God, preserved in the KJV, is most certainly not "broke". (Can I get an amen?) Also not "broke" is the traditional form of worship that God's Word makes clear to be His preference. Worship isn't about us--it's about God, after all! And TVBC understands this. John 4:24 states clearly: "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Therefore, in order to fulfill the truth requirement, worship MUST be doctrinally sound. The best way to ensure doctrinal soundness is to base lyrics directly on Scripture, which is exactly what the classic hymns are, and this is why Independent Fundamental Baptist churches, including TVBC, still sing hymns. They don't dip their toes in the neo-evangelical or ecumenical movements either; pastor Rick DeMichele is well aware of how they open the door wide for doctrinal compromise to sneak its way in. (Read "The Tragedy of Compromise" by Earnest D. Pickering for more on this topic.) My wife and I have been searching for a while, but this church is the real deal, and will be our church home moving forwards. We've only attended for a couple of weeks now, but we've already made several new friends, and feel very much at home already.
