With over 5,000 members, I'm kind of surprised this church only has 5 reviews... 5 Star ALL THE…read moreWAY! WE LOVE LOVE LOVE this church! It is the first and only church we have gone to since relocating to Midland. We felt so at home, there wasn't a need to check out other churches. There is so much we love about Stonegate Fellowship: Everyone is so friendly and helpful! We felt so welcomed from the moment we stepped through the doors. Pastor Patrick Payton IS AMAZING! I have NEVER laughed more during church services. I LOVE his stories and how he explains things so everyone can understand. The sad part is that Pastor Patrick (who has been at Stonegate for 19 years) is stepping down from his role. I REALLY hope his replacement can keep me engaged as much as Pastor Patrick did! We love the contemporary services! The music is GREAT! We keep saying it's like going to a rock concert! The performers are FANTASTIC. The sound is unreal! The light show is mesmerizing! The Word is told in a way that keeps me paying attention. The services are usually pretty full so get there early. Stonegate also provides donuts, coffee and juice in the lobby between services. The Children's Ministry is amazing! We LOVE the security system! Children are checked in and can only be checked out with the corresponding parent tickets. Kids are split up into age groups. There are SO MANY classes available. My husband and I are currently attending a marriage class. We LOVE IT! Not only is it strengthening our relationship, it's kind of like a mini "date" for us during the week! Child care is provided during our class so we get to be kid-free for 1.5hrs! (Woo hoo!) To top it off, the church and building complex are GORGEOUS. We love the modern, fresh decor. There are parking attendants to assist when you get there because the parking can be a bit confusing. I don't want to act like I'm a seasoned expert at this church... we have actually only been coming here for like 2 months but LOVE it that much! We HIGHLY recommend!

Stonegate strives for excellence in every way. From the parking attendants, to the volunteers…read moregreeting. What hooked my family was the dynamic children's ministry. Everything is well thought out and this chick has runs smoothly. I knew my kids were taken care of and loved. This is the church for young Midland adults. The worship is the best you will find in West Texas. The singers could all have their own record deal. And one of them does. I highly recommend getting involved in a small group. There really is something for everyone. And if you need prayer, the prayer room is equipped with prayer warriors! Years ago I worked for the weekdays childcare. Also an amazing ministry. You can workout or go to a bible study with no worries. I highly recommend this church.

It was so exciting to be a part of a church family like GCR! I moved out of Midland last year, & haven't been back to visit, but this church & the people I've known here are what I miss most about Midland. Whether you had just joined, or if you'd grown up here, there were always new people to meet. We had a wonderful 50th Anniversary celebration & reunion for GCR back in August 2013. They have changed the building a lot in the past decade or so to accommodate growing families & make room for the children's ministry. The youth ministry building has also grown. There are so many different ministries & ministry opportunities available from the Kenya Widows & Orphans (& annual 5K "Kick For Kenya" in October or early November), the Praise Team (which may still be called Hallel Ministry), Op Camp & Unlock (Prison) Ministries, Teen Challenge & Life Challenge, many missions & missionaries supported worldwide, the divorced & singles ministry, the college & young professionals group, & many different Lifegroups (or Caregroups, or Smallgroups)--it's an amazing picture of the "Body of Christ" at work!
