I used to attend this church years ago. Last month I went back to visit for the first time. No one…read moreI knew still attended but I knew the senior pastor by name. After that visit I called the office two times but no one ever answered, I just got voicemail. I left messages with my name and contact information asking for the pastor to call me back. I never got a reply. So I sent​ an email explaining that since I was not successful with my phone callsp I was trying email. I still haven't heard anything. I was very disappointed and I don't think I want to attend a church that does not reach out to people in need.

I've been to this church a handful of times and I love it. The only reason I don't go there…read moreregularly is that I belong to another church for 4 years now and I am usually at work when New Leaf's service begins at 4:15 on Sunday afternoons. However, yesterday, my church's power was out due to Hurricane Irene and so was my job's(Amen!) so I went to New Leaf. Here's what I love about New Leaf. It is very comfortable. I know- comfy-ness might not be the first thing a person thinks of, or searches for, when looking for a church, but that's what I feel there. I feel comfy. The people are young-ish(20's, 30's, a couple of 40's and a few older), the room is comfy(they use space in an Episcopal church) and it seems more of a setting for a band's practice space or someone's living room than it does a church. People are dressed casually and they worship freely and quite musically- which I love! The pastor is a very nice regular kind of guy. Everyone seems very down to earth and they are friendly and open. The church is new and kind of small and I think that's one of the things I like about it, although there's something about them that makes it seem like they could grow to be huge, if not in a numbers way than in an impact on the community kind of way. I have been there twice now when there are quest speakers and yesterday's were wonderful. I wish that the message they delivered could have been broadcast on CNN. So, if you're looking for a new church that is out in the community- part of the community, feels like it's going forward, focuses on God's love and ROCKS, this might be the church for you! Check it out!

We spent a lot of time visiting different churches and different denominations and I'm so glad we found a home at Saint Andrew's. The community is open, welcoming, and inclusive. You don't need to be Episcopalian (in fact, I am not), or subscribe to any set of beliefs, or be of any race, creed, sexual orientation, or even dress code in order to participate fully here. The sermons are an important part of the service for me, and St. Andrew's is blessed with preachers that are engaging and thoughtful. Oh, and getting here is easy to boot: fifteen minute walk from the Metro, or plenty of parking.

We love Community dinners--they are an excellent way to bond with a diverse group of people within the community whom you never may have met. We met folks of different ages, ethnicities, talents and even churches. The food was potluch shared by community members, while eating we were treated to lovely piano playing (and riffs) by a member, during dinner the children out together a puzzle game of World counties. After dinner we roasted marshmallows over a huge fire pit and enjoyed s'mores. It's important to note that this church is a generous one, practices what they preach and serves a connector to some of the homeless in the community--a few of whom I was happy to see joined us for the dinner.

I'd describe it as pretty conservative, yet diverse. There's a good racial mix of Black, White, and…read moreAfricans, and some others as well to a lesser degree. Everybody is generally friendly & welcoming here. They don't use musical instruments or have a choir. Everybody sings 'a capella'-style. They have prayers, sing hymns, do announcements, sermons, full-water-immersion baptisms, take communion(bread & juice), and take up a collection. Women aren't allowed to preach to men here. I've never known any LGBT people here, but I don't think they would feel comfortable being "out" at this church. The pews(benches) are cushioned. You can dress up or go casual, nobody will hassle you about it. The sermons are usually boring, or they spend too much time focusing on minutia details of scripture, essentially beating water out of rocks. They interpret the Bible pretty literally and strictly, at least to the extent of not violating state & federal laws. There are Sunday school classes for all age groups, but they are very boring usually. Sometimes the teenager classes are fun when they are run like a discussion group. There's no playground on-site, but it's right behind the new movie theater. There's no daycare. They do VBS(Vacation Bible School) every year and they have 'Ladies' Day' events. During sermons, they also have "Children's Worship/"Primary Preaching" classes targeted at toddlers through about 6th grade. They have a puppet show in the Children's Worship. Here's an exerpt from Wikipedia about the church's history/theology. Sometimes they refer to this as the Restoration Movement or Stone/Campbell Doctrine. I would suggest reading the entire article too at the following link, though: "Churches of Christ are autonomous Christian congregations associated with one another through common beliefs and practices. They seek to base doctrine and practice on the Bible alone, and seek to be New Testament congregations as originally established by the authority of Christ. Historically, Churches of Christ in the United States were recognized as a distinct movement by the U.S. Religious Census of 1906. Prior to that they had been reported in the religious census as part of the movement that had its roots in the several independent movements that occurred through the leadership of people such as Thomas and Alexander Campbell, Walter Scott, and Barton W. Stone" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churches_of_Christ

UBC is a great church!

The pastor is brilliant and hilarious, and delivers a solid and inspiring message.The first time I went there I was laughing so hard I was crying, and no one told me to leave! This is a big deal for someone who found church to be kind of cold and intimidating in the past. The congregation is very diverse which is also very important to me. We live in a culturally diverse area. I want to worship with a congregation that reflects that. The music is great in that it is an array of many different styles and cultures, and uses the gifts of the members of the congregation. Well, you should just come and check it out.

The music ministry is diverse and lively and the preaching is incredible. Pastor John Burns is an incredible story teller and relates it all back to scripture in a way that is accessible. I love the worship time. The congregation is diverse in many different ways. They are truly walking the path of being a community of Jesus Christ. They find ways to connect over things they hold in common rather than differences. They are engaged in community services to live out the command to help others. A great worshipping community all around.
