I Love this church. I have been attending as a non member over the years. However they treat everyone like family. Pastor Jim & the Youth Pastor Corey really know how to preach. This church is very diverse and extremely involved with the community & children that attend the church. They also do a lot of missionary work worldwilde. I was married at this church on 10/13/12 & loved everything about my wedding. The Pastor sister Janet was very helpful with the planning and answered all my calls and emails in a timely manner even though I probably annoyed her lol. If you are looking for a church home PLEASE check out Hilltop. read more

Welcoming environment ! The people are so welcoming from the moment you park your car alt the way to the end of the service. When you walk on the main worship hall.. You can feel the presence of God from the songs and the message you receive. The church rep are engaging and devoted... It's nice I know there's a safe haven in this community.. read more

Amazing. This church has everything. Small group, great Sunday services, children's ministry is a huuuuuge blessing, and everyone is so friendly! read more

My go-to church in the community. Pastor Heden preaches with the heart in my mind... and eyes on God. His message "speaks" to me every time. The congregation is also mostly friendly... and not intrusive. I don't like when I go to church and I get the 20 questions. I just want to listen to God's word and be out. read more

This is a terrific place -- great music, lots of loving energy. I've gone many times, and been very impressed. The people reflect the community, and it's a very diverse group. The church does an amazing job of ministering to the people of Richmond with men's and women's groups, groups for kids and young adults of all ages, single parents, camps, etc etc. They walk the walk. This is a big church, though. . .so keep this in mind. There are hundreds of people at the Sunday services. However, they do offer small groups in people's homes to foster community. read more

I'm not Christian but I have been here with a friend who is Christian. Because I think that most of what was being said during service I don't agree with, I won't even bother stating that in my review. But I will say that the church itself is very large. It has its own hall for events and what not, building for bible study and youth groups and there is the main church with a large seating area and large stage. There are also offices there for church staff and marriage counseling. Near the main offices is where the choir practices during the week. The parking at this church is crazy large! Plenty of parking to go around. The overall location of this church is not in the best area, near Walmart and hilltop mall which most will refer to as ghetto. read more

I have been attending since November 2013. The pastor is kind, funny, and humble. I like the sermons and how they always give out a lesson papers for the topic of that day and for notes. I like how they have lots of bible studies and fellowship options that can fit our busy schedules. This church teaches biblical truths. They focus on teaching us to Look (for ways to honor God), Love (Everyone God put in our path) , Live (For His purpose and will for us), and Lead (others to holiness in Christ). And I was drawn here the most because of the fact that they have areas for kids to grow in the Lord too. Lots of ministries for all ages. I got saved in October 3rd 2013 in my home. I wasn't attending church or reading the bible. I did not know the Lord or followed anything in the bible. The Lord came to me one night and revealed many things to me about who He is and what he knows about me. It was a very supernatural experience that can only be understood by those who have experienced stuff like that themselves or are open to know the wonders of what's really out there (the spiritual world). I grew up in a catholic back round. So when I got saved I was exploring where exactly God's Spirit was guiding me. I was so excited to find out all about Jesus and how I can make the best of the second chance he had given me. I really didn't want to put myself in a religious category. I just knew what God, my heavenly Father revealed to me. Jesus is the one true God and the Holy Spirit is definitely real and living inside of me. And so the Lord began to help me narrow it down to what I needed to study to learn more about Him. The Lord was teaching me His Word thru His Spirit with no book or anyone influencing me the first weeks of my new beginning. God calls people and renews their mind body and souls. And sometimes people that go to church get called there. Other times people have near death experiences and the Lord speaks to them thru those circumstances. My experience was out of the blue one night at 2am with a dream of the spiritual realm and God telling me that I needed to change. The day I was saved God revealed himself to me and I actually FELT His Spirit in my room and He was speaking truth and wisdom and there was a lot of conviction. My mind was being renewed and I am just a completely different person with no more vices and better relationships. But its hard to put all the details on this review. I found this church because I asked God to lead me to where I can grow and learn. And he reminded me that wherever I go to learn His word to make sure its kid friendly where they can learn and be exposed to God's love thru the people that teach them His word. The women's bible studies has helped me surround myself with women of God that have a lot of experience with God's Word and testimonies that strengthened me and inspired me. I am an active volunteer in the kids ministry because I feel its so important to help our youth towards the right path. It starts when your young and I believe I wouldn't have made so many mistakes if I had a strong support system like the one they offer here. So I like it here and I am still growing spiritually. ****IMPORTANT: It is important that if anyone is looking for a church they find one that is in accord with the bible. There is no such thing as a perfect church. There are many church hoppers that never find what they are looking for. I can see how it can be hard. But prayer is the most important way to find God's direction for you. The devil will always give you reasons and point out imperfections to stir you away from church. I pray fervently for my church. And there are lots of churches that are amazing and teach God's Word just as good as this one. When I don't like something or am not sure about something I pray about it and God does something about it and never lets me down. For people new with the church scene, don't get discouraged. My husband is not social and doesn't like to be around too many people but God has opened his heart to be just a little more open with others and I have seen so much change in Him. Prayer and God's faithfulness is the answer. Church is where you go to worship together as a whole group. To connect with others and be inspired by testimonies like healing, restoration, salvation. God speaks to you thru sermons and convicts you of things you need to change. You get to see God in action and surround yourself with people that really love the Lord. Learning God's Word and putting it into action is what we do after church. And no matter what church we attend if we are just listening and not seeking ways to change our community with God's truth and values there is no impact or effect. Our pastor always says, information without application is just entertainment. My church has helped me find and seek ways to make a difference and go where I am needed. I help in the nursery, girls ministry, senior home ministry, and still on the hunt for more. read more

This place located across from Hilltop Mall is AWESOME! The spirit is much alive and each Sunday is filled with a great message. I've only been attending for a short while, but I feel like family and I love what they are doing in the community. There are worship services for all age groups and it's very diverse with a main goal in mind and that's spreading the word of God. They have tons of activities which helps people to get to know one another. I really like how the youth ministry is ran. My teenage son is so excited about going here as the youth ministry teaches in ways for him to understand. I recommend if you're looking for a church home to come and experience the good works taking here and be filled with the spirit of God. Peace and blessings. read more

This a great church. One of the rare culturally mixed churches. Many Ministries to help people grow and become stronger in their Faith.
