This year has been tumultuous and anyone who enters the doors of this church will soon recognize that not only do the leaders buy into the mission but so do the members and attenders. I wholeheartedly recommend this church! I am excited to see how the Lord is going to use BLDG 28 Church to continue pushing forward the Kingdom.

Then there is a more recent experience I had with Bldg 28 Church. Christmas 2022 was approaching…read moreand pastor Aaron kept inviting everyone, regardless of age, to attend the young adult's Christmas party. So I decided to go, even though I was 67 years old. These folks are all white. There was one token black on staff, but he left. I arrive and no one greets me, so I just walk in and roam around. They had a ping pong table, so I stood nearby watching. A guy walks over and asks me if I am going on the Israel trip. Nope. But it turns out he is a US Navy officer. I was in the Navy for 4 years back in the 80s, so we talked about military stuff for awhile. Other than that, the only other person to even say hello was Dani - a cute young lady who was on staff and Niko, a young man who attened my home group with his parents. It felt like I was invisible, but I knew that people saw me - they just ignored me. Basically, the same reaction I get when I walk in to a bar or any room. Then it was time for the Gift Exchange. A weird custom that Christians have where they bring "white elephant" (gag) gifts to give others. Dani said, "Everyone grab a chair and form a cirlce!" So I grabbed a chair and walked over to where people were forming a circle. I was actively impeded and hip-checked out of the cirlce and wound up sitting alone behind the cirlce. Yet everyone pretended not to notice. No one spoke up and said, "hey, make room for Mr. Sanders." They just proceeded as if I wasn't there. I sat there for 10 minutes and watched - and waited. Nothing. So I got up and left. I thought, "wow, that was a mistake." At least 50 so-called Christians showing just how selfish they really are. Refusing to exercise hospitality or even basic courtesy. All because I was not one of them. Even though I was ostensibly their "brother in Christ," I was not part of their generation. I was a hated "boomer." I discovered first hand that ageism is as real as racism. Young people blame old people for their problems. They hate us. At least alot of them do. And even if the "world" acts this way, I expected better from the church. But nope. They are even worse in some ways. More arrogant. There is no hate like "Christian love."

We happened to…read morevisit the church 30 minutes before 6pm vigil mass on Saturday so we decided to stay for mass. My Mom and I got to walk around the grounds and were drawn to the statue of Mary to the side of the church. Then we discovered the beautiful stations of cross behind the Mary statue and in the grass (please see my pictures). My Mom wanted to take a picture by each statute so we got to look at each one of them! As for the church, we were greeted warmly by the greeters. And the church itself was decorated so lovely for Christmas with the nativity on the altar. Being a member of my home church's choir I was impressed on how huge the choir is! Plus they sounded great too! I also like that there were several places where I could light candles and pray before mass. I chose the spot towards the back so as not to disturb anyone. The parishioners were also friendly during mass and I enjoyed the Deacon's homily! Happy churchgoing!

The elders are scripturally sound and the teaching encourages people to read God's word for themselves ; there is a diversity of opinion on all but the most basic of truths - the nature of God , the fact that he sent his Son as a perfect sacrifice for our sins and that He lived just like we do only without sin . Ministry , or being a servant is core to what EVERY member does , and there are MANY opportunities for service here. I've only been a member here for a few months , but I already am "plugged in" to several groups that focus on specific areas of life. Please come and check us out , we would LOVE to have you !

We came 20 minutes early to see the people coming out of the first service and to have time to meet new people. We stood in the lobby, the main sanctuary, and a small room people gather in and the pastor was the only person to talk to us and that was for about 60 seconds. It might have just have been an off day, but it seemed like it was clicky. I would recommend checking it out for yourself and maybe you'll have a different experience. As for us we are still looking.

People were not warm and welcoming. Although I love the philosophy, everyone has their little clicks and didn't seem interested or welcoming to outsiders.

They have a garden but I did not feel the energy there was good energy. It was also very overgrown with weeds- not tended to. I will try some neighboring Unity churches and hope for a better outcome.
