Pastor Brant Cole, Walloon Lake Community Church and the music assemble are welcoming…read more Pastor Brant is young and ambition to get Gods word across. He has a unique and sincere way when presenting his sermon. His visuals that he incorporates into his sermons bring attention to the words he is conveying. He knows how to get Gods word across in a modern fashion. Coffee and greeters await you as you come inside. They always have programs and classes available whether or not you are a member or not. Give them a try. You might find your church home.

A great church with a great (although conflicting) feel…read more The church is both young and traditional, contemporary and dated, large-feeling and inviting. For the seeker, you might find yourself a little out of your element. Long sermon messages (30-40 minutes with some random clip art on the screens) and some older songs are here, but newer ones, too. The music has electric drums and the mix is a little rough (worship leader never felt like they were upfront), but it's a church that seems to value authentic worship music - in-ear mixes and loops with ready to read lyrics. The lead guy was very good but looked like he could stand to delegate more - offering talk and guest reception was ran (mostly) by him. The feel of the church just feels like it's in a state of transition from an older lead church to a newer lead church, but the vibe is still a good one; we felt very welcome and comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt. If we're back in the area, we will likely return.

This review is in relation to the daycare…read more If you're looking for a daycare that your child loves and the parents trust, you've found it! My son went to daycare from age 10 weeks to almost 2 years old. The teachers are incredibly kind and he learned a lot of skills (I.e. counting, the alphabet song, throwing garbage away, washing hands, etc) while at the daycare. If I was not transitioning to become a SAHM, I would send all of my kids here. I cannot recommend Bayview enough!!

The church does so much for example Wednesday's they have dinner for whoever needs a hot meal in the community, they do out reaches to help those who might need some handy work done, steak night, coffee n goodies for you every Sunday morning, Easter breakfast and so much more. There is a great nursery and preschool/ daycare program. My son loves his preschool. The pastor does a great job with sermons and finding ways to help the community how ever we can. Definitely check it out. They do baptisms in the bay.

We were a little lost because at first we didn't see on the website it said behind the fire station, so maybe some signs for visiting guests would be ideal! Other than that, everyone was extremely welcoming, the worship was wonderful, and the message was very easy to understand and practical in using it for everyday life! I would recommend anyone check it out! Thank you so much!

I love this church. Great worship! It has been a joy stepping into this community. I have never…read moreseen the kind of commitment to out reach in the local community that is happening here! Amazing!

A very welcoming church, very modern, and a nice facility!…read more However, the first red flag popped up when I realized no one around me had a Bible, nor did any of the church staff walk the aisles offering any for those who didn't have one. The worship team was fine (I don't focus on the ability of their talent because, in a worship sense, it doesn't matter what they sound like as long as it's genuine worship). The message was even more lacking. being a topical sermon, it lacked the true meat of the Bible and what God actually says. The preacher sprinkled in a couple verses that he even appeared to have a hard time connecting to his sermon. TLDR: it's a decent church for those brand new to Christianity, but it will struggle at reaching those who are searching for a deeper, more challenging, relationship with God! Best wishes to the staff at Kensington church.

The church has their own school, K thru 12 and is amazing with loving Godly blessed leadership. This church is a lover of community and is in constant motion to give help and support to others reaching out in numerous ways. They are busy spreading the Love of JESUS and the Holy Word of God. In my opinion, there is none better. Amen
