When I started as a "new" Christian at this church 15 years ago, I was very compelled by how…read morewelcoming everyone was. I was invited to be involved in one of the Bible studies there, and they were very patient when I asked so many(what I'm sure some would consider) basic questions. It was such a "normal" group of people. They weren't condescending and they admitted their own weaknesses freely. Growing up, my own dad, (a strong atheist) would put all those who believed in a higher power than themselves, into the categories of "idiots" and "brainwashers". It wasn't until my introduction to E-Free that I realized my dad was very wrong. And in fact, as it turns out, he was the only one with a brainwashing agenda. Over the years I have been involved in a variety of areas within the church . . . directing children's choir, teaching preschool, helping with Vacation Bible School, Women's Ministries, Event Planning, Arts and Sport Camp the Praise and Worship Team and Single Mom's Morning Out. If you are look for a church that feels safe, is culturally and socially diverse, and a great place for children, families and singles . . . Evangelical Church might be your new church home. I was actually shocked when I read the negative review written in 2014. The congregation is the whole reason I've kept going there for 15 years. Oh . . . and the Pastors are pretty great too. My children were baptized there. I have so many friends there I can't even count, and I meet new people every week. I strongly encourage anyone who is looking for a church to give it a try.

The kids are taught to cook, bake, they have music and Spanish class, and they are encouraged to participate in a lot of outdoor creative play.

The teachers do a wonderful job of paying close attention to your child so if they appear sick or get a rash, it doesn't go unnoticed. The teachers love their students and pour themselves into their kiddos. If you're looking for a part time or full time preschool, Mulberry is highly recommended!
