Our entire family was volunteering weekly, I was doing the lesson planning for a class in kid's church, volunteered at church events, etc. Unfortunately, I quickly found out what type of people are actually running ALC. The pastor's wife stalked my Facebook page and didn't care for a church politics post and immediately started stirring up trouble. I got an email stating 'effective immediately' I was no longer allowed to volunteer until I had a meeting with the pastor. She also thought it was a grand idea for her and her sidekick to block me on Facebook and then she approached my daughter at youth group. What kind of pastor's wife blocks people on Facebook and then approaches their kid at a church function? Not only that, but they went as far as to tell our life group leaders not to allow us back in life group because we're negative and they don't need negative in their group. What was the church politics post about that stirred up so much trouble? It was about how volunteers pour their heart and souls into ministry, only to be tossed aside when yet another pastor's wife is hired to replace a volunteer. I read an article that was talking about building a family kingdom or a kingdom for God, and unfortunately this church is building a kingdom for their family. And when the pastor's wife feels threatened in the slightest, they will block you and shun you from the church. Granted, the pastor seemed to genuinely want to meet and discuss the post, but why would anyone want to step back into a church where the pastor's wife stirred up so much trouble and you're hearing from other members about the way the post stirred up trouble. And last, but definitely not least, the post that got me shunned from ALC: You know what I don't like? Church politics. It's in every church, creeps around, and eventually a pattern is noticed. Every church we've been to, or heard about, plays the game. Every church has a mission and plays the politics to get there. Unfortunately, when you or someone you know gets caught in the crosshairs of those politics, you begin to look at the church differently. Do you ever wonder why people stop going to church? I don't. Most people don't want to play the game. They want to go get the message and go home. A few will decide to volunteer here or there until they catch wind of underlying politics and then leave. Others make it years, for the love of ministry runs deep and it pleases them...but eventually, they feel the politics too. It seems no one can really escape it, except for the select few in the inner circles. And for those that make it years, those church politics deliver a devastating blow. Church and politics don't mix. Never have and never will. People will always get hurt in the end and that is NOT what we should be aiming for as a church. It shouldn't be about who you know, it shouldn't be about who you're related to, it shouldn't be about anything other than God and HIS mission. It breaks my heart for those in the crossfire, I've been there and hate to see others there. We need to pray for our churches and their direction, we need to get out of the mega church mindset and go back to knowing the congregation, their struggles, and their needs.

We were looking for a church in the Frostburg area, and after searching them out on the internet,…read moreit was time to go and visit one. The plan was to visit a different church each week until we found the one for us. Well, before we even crossed the street to Welsh, there was a friendly person standing at the front door to welcome us with a huge smile! And inside were many more happy faces to welcome us and make us feel at home, even though we didn't know a soul. After hearing the wonderful praise and worship music and the Word of God preached, we just kept going back. Now, all those smiling faces have names and are our faith family. Our Father knew we needed a place to be loved and to grow in our walk with Him, and He led us there and we haven't had to search any farther.

I've been attending this church for almost five years now. During my three years as a student at…read moreFrostburg State University, this church was one of the things that made Frostburg feel like home, and it was one of the major reasons I wanted to stay in the area after I graduated. Welsh Baptist Church is full of real people who are there because they love Jesus and they love people, and they want to get better at doing both of those things. The congregation really is a family, and as a result of that, this church is a place you can take your real life, your real problems, your real struggles, and open up about them without fear of judgment. There's a real culture of people who know they're broken and in need of a Savior, who give grace and love and encouragement to others because they know they need those things so desperately themselves. All of this community is built around the truth of Scripture, and particularly the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Visitors to this church can expect a warm welcome, joyful worship, and preaching that's theologically sound and centered on the gospel of Christ. I would not hesitate to recommend this church to anyone. I am unfathomably blessed to be able to attend and serve here.
