I understand why my uncle and his family have been in attendance here since they moved here. The old church is traditional: tiny and charming. The new church is more contemporary: circular and spacious. But the spirit of the people is the same. Regardless of the words in the mass, the people are there to share in worship together. If you are local and looking for a nice church community, check it out. If you are visiting, you will feel welcomed.

MVCC welcomes everyone with open arms and Pastor Guy is more than a pastor. He is a teacher, a leader, and lives what he preaches. It's a modern style church with a live band. The church has grown tremendously in the past five years. We love MVCC and couldn't imagine calling another church home.

We left a very large and popular church in the area because we needed a smaller community and wanted to connect more with other believers. The pastor preaches from the Word and really disciples/equips people to fulfill what the Lord is leading them to do. The people at Free Life are just amazing. We have never felt so at home in a church before. The kids love their programs (elementary-middle school) and my husband and I look forward to church each Sunday. The people there love the Lord and want to be there, and it's evident. The worship is amazing. Very spirit-filled and not on a schedule or any sort of performance, which I appreciate. This church may not be a fit for all, but certainly a wonderful fit for our family and we have grown so much already. I can't even fully describe how much it has impacted our family. I've received prayer more here in a few months than I did years at other churches. It's a very authentic church with authentic people.

I would give it 4.5 stars. First of all, finding a new church is exhausting. We are new to the area…read moreand I did the usual online scouting of reviews, websites and online sermons. The only thing that held me back from going in the first place was I have a homeschooled teen and was hoping for a teen group but didn't see they had one. So I woke up this morning with the idea of attending a different church, with a teen group. But I couldn't shake the sermon from a few weeks ago by the pastor at this church and decided to alter paths so my family and I attended this church. I am a more seasoned Christian and have lived in many states. I go to a church for the first time with my walls up a little until I know there is alignment. But the worship was so on point and the people/pastor who spoke were all just wonderful; they all hit very important biblical principles that I deem essential. My family and I will be attending next week.

The wide topic of sermons range from theology and philosophy to relevant history; I find them completely fascinating and broadening to my world view. Being raised Protestant and reciting a list of what was supposed to believe every Sunday always bothered me, even as a child. It's liberating to be with others that refuse to believe that any one religion has a monopoly on the truth.

The Pastor, Mark Adams, looks to me to be the real deal, with a genuine faith in Christ. He is a very good speaker, and can talk the talk. More importantly, I think he truly walks the walk. He also has a great sense of humor, and made me laugh. The service is well thought out, so that it's not boring. There is a good mixture of Scripture, Church information, and songs, that helps to keep your interest. The praise band is excellent, and also the staff/members are very helpful and friendly. I was greeted by Kevin Freeman (I looked up his last name under Staff, on the Church website). Kevin made me feel very welcomed, and shared some information with me about the Church. Before this visit, I hadn't been to any Church in 20 years (but I do pray every night), and it was a very pleasant experience. I will be going back.

Rockville Christian is a great church!…read more Sunday Worship Service is held at 11:00 AM. The church is small, a congregation that is diverse in every dimension, and everyone receives a genuinely warm welcome there. I first visited Rockville Christian Church because although the church I was attending in DC was very nice, I was feeling led to go somewhere closer to home, where I could be part of a church community. One of the pastors at my church in DC recommended Rockville Christian Church, so I went. As soon as I walked into the church, I received a genuinely friendly welcome. I found my seat, and the service began. The music was good at the service. Kay Krekow, a gifted musician, leads the music ministry. The church choir is small, but sings some ambitious selections. I was happy that at Rockville Christian, the congregation sings enthusiastically. (I've sometimes been dismayed to be in churches where you couldn't tell whether the congregation was singing or not, but people really sing here.) The young pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. David Chisham, does a great job of presenting the message. He varies his style of presentation, and this keeps things interesting. Rockville Christian Church is part of The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination. The name of the denomination is intentionally simple, as are its Mission, Vision and Confession. It is refreshing to be part of a church that doesn't add any extraneous requirements or conditions to what is specified in the Bible. Finding Rockville Christian Church can be challenging, but it is worth the effort! Once you are on Adclare Road, drive a few blocks through the nice residential neighborhood until the road dead ends at the church.

Don't get me started, I'll dilute my coffee! I appreciate that our military, their families, veterans, and our leaders are always lifted in prayer. Suffice it to say, great place for unconditional love and acceptance. Everyone pitching in when someone is in need and celebrating the milestones of our lives. The community service and camp programs for the youth is so important for their development as Christians and global citizens. The kids programs make them feel special and surrounded by caring adults and teens. Thanks to Deidre who leads crafts for the kids twice a month in addition to a separate children's church. It is nice when the kids say, "what's happening at church today".
