The doors are wooden and open during service times to welcome everyone. The church has the basics like holy water, candles, and the twelve stations. The church is very pretty but not gaunt. The hi ceiling is majestic yet serene. When entering this church it is easy to become very relaxed. Not sure what else I could say about this, it's a church. When I was younger I used to serve coffee at bingo here

I saw a couple of the negative reviews & wanted to say that no church is perfect. There are some challenges, like everywhere else but it is a place where they are aware of it. Yes, fellowship is a bit hard to do on Sundays but it doesn't mean there isn't any at all. I've made some friends there & participate in some of the functions. It's really a matter of people finding people. Pastors Phil & Mike T, are two who engage with people in the lobby. Others are not as outgoing but definitely approachable, kind & friendly. If you're looking for a reason to not go to this church, 100% you will find it but if you really want to find a church to attend, you'll find it at NJV. It was different than all the other churches I attended but I really love it there.

You can feel that the Holy Spirit is alive and at work here. The services are so good because the messages are rooted in the Bible, and everything is backed up by scripture. I felt such a strong pull to get baptized here, and I'm so glad I did. On top of that, the community is amazing. They have a group for everything, sports, specific interests, men's and women's groups, and every age from youth to young adults and seniors. I am in a couple groups and I now serve at this church in multiple ways. The reason so much growth happens here is because the foundation is Christ. This church is incredibly blessed, and it has been such a big blessing to me and so many others.

This is my 100th review, and It was a little over a year ago that I began Yelping to find different…read morefoods after spending most of my life chained to a computer and doing noting at home. I had no intent to do reviews or take photos at the time, but I slowly started to do them anyway, and the more I did the more fun it became. I then made Elite and I was thinking that I will do a super cool spot for my 100th review like La Chine, Le Bernardin, or Izakaya MEW, But along the way I realize Yelp had become more than just food, restaurants, shopping and the photos you take, but also the friends you make and how they can make a difference in your life. I am dedicating my 100th review of Abundant Grace Christian Church to Leo M. because as my Yelp friend has been able to touch me from 3000 miles away. Being part of a church is not really just about attending services, it's also belonging to a group of people who are living out their spiritual journeys together, a whole lot of individuals who not just who happen to be together on Sunday mornings but much more of a lifestyle for them. I, growing up Roman Catholic in the Bronx meant big stone churches with Priest and Nuns and a lot of formality on Sundays and Latin. So attending service in a smaller wood frame church without the confession box, stands of candles or a holy water fountain was different. Plus I must mention the last time I attended church other for a wedding or funeral, Clinton was President. I was welcome by everyone as I passed entering the church and picking a spot to sit, From the table on the sidewalk with books, to the welcomes in front and the people siting besides me, and some of them I recognized from town and they were all warm and friendly, The congregation is very diverse as is the town. I told them this was my first time, but this is a small congregation and they already knew that. I told them my reasons for coming to this church without going into the full details and that I was had come to pray for someone. They gave me a welcome bag with a DVD, a book by Oswald Chambers, information card and a few pamphlets. They laugh when I said I was grew up Roman Catholic and they said we all have even the pastor. The service is lead by the founding pastor, Steve Hannett an apostolic overseer. From the start there was music and singing with the pastor playing a synthesizer with a choir behind him and and two more backup signers, one with another synthesizer and a guitar. The pastor was singing and preaching the Lord and was still rocking it 30 minutes later when he started playing the salsa drums, of course we were all standing on feet some with arm in the air and some hugs were coming my way. After a brief discussion on current events and a planed outings, today's message given by the pastor centered on Genesis chapter 26, the famine and the lords covenant with Isaac. His teachings are clear, full of love, faith and hope and delivered with real excitement and with explanations that anyone could understand.This church is spirit filled due to the congregation's interaction with each other and we followed up with the singing of ' I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord'. I had many thoughts and images of my life and what I'm doing cross my mind during the service and wondering how my the next day would be and where my present path would lead me.

I love how there is people from all ages, backgrounds, countries in one place growing together, every single time we meet up. Even on days that I don't feel like going, I'm blessed when I leave. Even on rough days when things aren't going my way, I leave with a smile and confidence that I'm going to get past this. On my good days, its my turn to encourage those around me.
