High Acres Christian Church is a small, non-denominational community church in the hills of…read moreAnsonia, CT. It is pastored by Pastor Jim Wegener. I visited the church's morning service on October 4, 2009. The service began about 10:00 AM, and ended about 11:45 AM. This is a small church - 90 chairs are set up on a Sunday, and this week there were about 45 attenders. The people are very welcoming and friendly, seeking out visitors but not overwhelming on the first visit. The dress is casual, and the worship style is contemporary. The service was about 1/3 music lead by lay people, about 1/3 communion (they celebrate the Lord's supper every Sunday) and church business (baptism, scripture reading and reflections by Elders, offering), and about 1/3 sermon (children's church is offered during the sermon). The sermon itself was expository out of Revelation 3, and was a good mix of scholarly discussion and direct application to the Congregation's lives. The pastor has no pulpit, but walked freely about the church, and enjoys a very interactive (but not socratic) style of presentation. Overall, I had a very good experience at the church. The gospel is preached, the people take care of each other, and there is a strong emphasis on ministering to the community around them.

In order to be more like God would have us to be we ALL must be taught what God would have us to be. No more, no less. God's way is simple to understand but hard to accomplish within ourselves. That is because of ourselves not because of God. What's God's way and his word? If you really and truly want to know, go to Reclaim and spend a few years finding out. Learn the truth and live it with all of your might. There is NO downside to doing so. I hope to meet you some day.

I am only reviewing the building/architecture and not the functioning church. The orchestra that I…read moream a member of held our Fall concert in the church, as we were playing the famous "Organ Symphony" No. 3 by Saint Saens. The church has a very nice space characterized by high, arching ceilings, a large circular stained glass window in the center surrounded by taller stained glass windows on either side. The altar area is quite large. There is a very fine pipe organ that generates a magnificent sound in the large hall. Pews are cushioned to make sitting more comfortable. Seating capacity is approx. 250. The feel inside this church is of an old, venerable area to worship. If this is what you are looking for, then this church would fit your needs.

He would be the first to tell you that he wasn't a good singer. The new Pastor (Ryan Mills) is fabulous. Not only is he young and energetic, his sermons are uplifting and enlightening. They are also solidly based in the Lutheran faith and applicable to real life. I have heard a lot of sermons, and I can honestly say that his are the best I have encountered. He hosts bible study before service and it is excellent (I can't believe how many other churches don't even offer bible study). His singing is spot-on (if that's what really matters to you) and he even sings the extended portions of the service that most pastors just read aloud. On a personal level, he is really the kind of person that makes you feel special and at home. His wife is also an ELCA pastor and excellent in her own right. The choir and cantoring are good. It is true that not many people in the congregation sing in harmony, but I don't think that is fair to expect either - it all depends on who is there that day. Sometimes there will be Yale School of Music students in attendance and there is harmony galore. As far as the young adults go, there is a great group. There are certainly singles though (especially when the local colleges are in session), but again it depends on the day. The congregation is growing, so there are new people all the time. Lastly, the setting is absolutely gorgeous. The Word of course can be spread anywhere (wherever 2 or 3 are gathered), but Trinity Lutheran feels like a real church. It's nice to have that feeling that something is greater than yourself, and this helps. Absolutely worth a look!
