As a lifelong Baptist girl this means I find myself sitting in the senior adult Sunday School class with them. I've been made to feel very welcome. Worship service is dynamic and both Sunday School and main service feature expository style teaching and preaching.

I started going to DC when I moved away for college and had to search for a new church. Now, after…read morefive years, it's home. The first time I went, I noticed a few things: it was in a warehouse - no stained glass windows in sight - also, the pastor was in jeans and a t-shirt, and someone I'd never met came up to me after worship and gave me the biggest hug ever. I can also say that the sermons are incredibly engaging, and somehow always seem to speak to me right where I am. Folks, this is a special kind of place. Communion is available every week, and you don't have to be a member of the church or take any classes or anything to come to the table. Offerings are taken with the lights dimmed, so no one is taking note of anyone else's contribution. Worship comes in more forms than just music - painting, poetry, dance - and is intense and candid. You get the sense that you're among people who aren't trying to pretend to be better than you - they're there because they need God and love him. Pastor Michael works straight through the Bible (rather than preaching topically) and truly hides behind the cross to allow God to speak to his people rather than just hearing what Michael has to say. The pastoral staff all share this humility and are compassionate, dedicated people, and have become true friends of mine. Something else worth noting is that they have a really interesting program going wherein every fourth Sunday, they close the doors and cancel church and take the entire congregation out to serve the community. It might be cleaning up the grounds of a community facility, raking leaves for people for free, bringing food to folks in the community who are having trouble making ends meet, or just hanging out at a nursing home listening to the residents and encouraging them in the Lord. The people at DC specialize in loving people to life. I have felt, in a few other churches, that folks have looked down their nose at me - not at DC. Not that it's perfect, but it is a community full of loving, real people. No masks in sight. Uncomfortable? Sure. But you'll grow. :)

Raytown Christian Church is wonderful!…read more Before you attend, can check out the services online on their webpage. Or, watch the services live any Sunday morning at 9:00 and 10:30. The services are very meaningful and help us apply passages from the Bible to our daily lives. This church is an integral part of the Raytown and Eastern Kansas City Missouri. They are involved in so many projects that reach out to the community. Some call this church the "heartbeat" of the community. There are many friendly members who help make you feel welcome!

The pastor stays on topic and is easy to follow, usually has a 4 to 5 week series that discusses. The songs and scripture are projected to a large screen to help you follow along or you can use the hymnal or Bible. They have a food pantry and a summer lunch program. They provide other services throughout the year. They share the church with Power Shift, I have not been to this service. I think they start at 1:00pm. I think whichever service you would attend you would enjoy it.

Located in a safe area of Lenexa and operating out of a refurbished strip mall, Nexus church has…read morethe Holy Spirit in spades! That's right, all are welcome in this house of God but I warn you, this church runs hot for the Lord! As for those who are timid about a new church, the people at Nexus are extremely kind and respectful while eager to welcome you. Walking in all people are welcomed by one of the many ushers. If you have kids, there's a person who'll direct you to a location to sign in via many security measures, ensuring your child is safe and only you can pick them up after the service. I used this service many times when my youngest daughter was going there and I had no issues while she loved it. Next up the lobby has lots of literature about who the church is and their core beliefs. Also there's a coffee station that also has morning delicacies like donuts! Further back is the main auditorium, which I'll address later. The church also has many small groups that meet at other times. Groups like men & women's groups, couples, kids, high school and on down the line. The effort is made to ensure people can always have someone to talk to in this crazy life we're living. I loved the mens group which met once a month b/c they had great breakfast foods brought in. Moreover, this church has a lot of events to partake in or volunteer whenever they arise. If you want, you'll make lifelong friends here. The auditorium is spacious and can get raucous for the lord when the spirit is driving the service. I recall my very first service didn't go 1 hour long, but 3 hours! I've lived all over the nation and Nexus has that down home, small fever pitched feel but one where everyone feels welcome. The band is very good and will always have some sort of song that touches the heartstrings. The screens are very large making the music easy to read and sing along too. Don't worry about singing offkey - you'll fit in with people like me! As for Evangelist Mark Purkey, he's extremely intelligent but won't sugar coat a message. In fact he'll make you look at things in a much, much different light. I rather liked the one series we did where he went through every verse of Revelation so we all gained a better understanding. My final thoughts is God is using Pastor Purkey for great things. When God selects his prophet, I suggest giving it a chance. Overall, Nexus is a life changing church and the facility itself has everything an individual or family needs for their spiritual journey. Moreover, the people are nice, the message is Devine and the coffee is hot. If you come, there will be instances where you forget about time and the holy spirit fills you up. Welcome to Nexus, you are home and God shows up.
