From the owner: Forum Christian Church is a place for people who want a faith that connects to real life. Whether…read moreyou’ve been in church your whole life, walked away for a season, or aren’t sure what you believe yet, Forum exists to help intentionally connect people to Jesus and grow into who God is forming them to be. What makes Forum unique is our intentional focus on becoming, not pretending. We believe following Jesus is a lifelong process, and we create space for people to come as they are while being lovingly invited toward growth and transformation. Our gatherings are thoughtful, biblically grounded, and practical, with teaching that speaks clearly to everyday life. You’ll hear truth taught with humility, grace, and an awareness of the world we’re actually living in. Community is central at Forum. We prioritize meaningful relationships across generations, not just attendance. From young adults to families to longtime believers, we work hard to create environments where people are known, supported, and challenged to live out their faith beyond Sunday mornings. At Forum, you won’t find pressure to have it all figured out. You’ll find a church that values honest questions, intentional discipleship, and a deep commitment to becoming more like Jesus—together.

I attended the dedication service of my great nephew & first impressions overall was that the people were very nice & helpful. The Pastor was welcoming & the vibe he gives off was sincere man of God. So we stayed for the church service. My mother & I both are disabled & I have problems with sitting or standing still for any period of time. So after 15-30 mins into the service I needed to get up & move I found that because the church is taking in droves of people you will lose your seat. Well that's not pleasant but in my case I completely understand. We stayed in a hallway with a comfy couch & I could still hear the message. Score! I could walk, sit, stand as I needed & not disturb anyone else all while listening to everything that was going on! The Pastor was able to take Biblical principles & apply them to today's world & youth making them relatable. This not a easy task for some & it is needed for our youth to grasp. Meanwhile, I'm pacing in the hall & people are coming through I found that most of them were very friendly. I loved sitting & talking with the kids as they waited in line for the restrooms & their teachers...they were well behaved. Overall, this is a place that if I ever in the area again I will make sure to visit as they blessed my heart & made me feel at home.

Very, very surprised that roughly 500 people showed up each time for a 0700AM Mass. Was expecting a dozen or so. 2. Nice mix of ages, races, gender. 3. Services started promptly and were done in around an hour. 4. Homilies, one by the pastor and one by a parochial vicar were both clear, well organized, and lasted 6 and 10 minutes, respectively. 5. Clearly marked restrooms (hey, it's important!). 6. Plenty of parking. Cons: 1. No incense or consecration bells. I miss the smells and bells! 2. Having gone twice now, not a single person has said hello to a stranger--me. I greeted a few people, but got no response other than a nod. Overall, not a bad place. We might give it a try again, when we move down here.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in the diocese of Jefferson City, MO. and…read moreis located in downtown, Columbia MO. My wife and I recently moved to Columbia and visited it, looking for a church home. The church building is 101 years old (as of 2015), and is what you would think of when you bring to mind a traditional, Catholic church structure. Physically, it is exceptionally well maintained both outside and inside. The stained glass and interior decoration is magnificent. Unfortunately, there is evidence of "renovation", post Vatican II and the main altar is missing. The freestanding altar is nicely carved, but sadly out of place in such an ornate setting. Church appears to seat about 250-300. Was about 80% full at the 11AM service. There are two English and one Spanish Mass on Sundays. The pews deserve a special note. These are old, hard, wooden pews that do not allow for slouching. I believe that spending an hour in these devices reduces one's stay in purgatory by at least 25 years. Mass started promptly and the procession was well done, with dignity. The readers and all other participants struggled with a terrible sound system, but all did their part with a rehearsed air. The pastor gave an 11 minute homily that was sensible and easy to follow. His general style was one of reverence, with a few exceptions, noted below. Pros: 1. Beautiful church 2. Ample parking on a private lot (rare in the downtown!) 3. Decent homily 4. No chance of dozing in those pews 5. Clearly marked restroom 6. Traditional baptismal font in the narthex 7. Reasonably reverent Mass Cons: 1. No incense 2. LOTS of happy handshaking and "greet your neighbor" 3. Priest wandering around before the homily to greet and point out visitors 4. No pipe organ and an out of tune piano
