I hadn't been to church in a long time and I didn't think that anything was missing in my life. I…read morewas certainly wrong. After I was invited to come to West Des Moines Christian Church, I went to the early service a couple of times and immediately realized that I couldn't wait to come back. It's a welcoming congregation and the pastors are all amazing. Seriously, this was so unexpected! It's what a church should be. I'll admit that I joined the church 6 months after I began attending. The outreach services and activities are endless. There is something for everyone: sports leagues, bible study, food pantries, mission trips, VBS, and so much more. It's awesome. I found the place where I needed to be.

Since April, I have been a frequent visitor and if I end up moving to the area, I will become a member. The sanctuary may be large and the programs numerous, but there is an intimate feel to this house of worship. For several years I had been burned out on the hypocrisy of churches and the judgements felt from the "RELIGIOUS" people I knew. This place is a refreshing, biblically based- church with imperfect people trying to minister to others. I have felt welcomed there in church services, art classes, Women's ministry events and more. If you are feeling skeptical, stop by for a service and let the Spirit speak to you.

Beautiful church with mostly friendly people when we visited. The parking situation was a bit…read morehectic and by the time service started it was standing room only in the back. The stained glass windows are just gorgeous and after service they do dim the lights and you're able to appreciate them even more. It was difficult for me to understand most of the homily though. The sound could have been better. I think everyone should stop by at least once just to appreciate the beauty of this church, just make sure to arrive earlier.

I felt at home shortly after I walked through the door that first Sunday and after a couple months knew this was the church that I wanted to be a member of. I love the feeling I get when I walk in each Sunday. I got involved which I had never done at other churches. I know everyone there and everyone knows me. I love the small church feel, we are a family. It has been almost two years now and I get that same feeling now when I walk in the doors as I did then. If you are looking for a church that you can feel like I do, join us on any Sunday at 10:00 am and see what you think of our little family.
