(Caveat: that's a Christian concert but aside from the words in the songs, the festive atmosphere makes this almost hard to notice!) Yes, GFC is a somewhat non-traditional congregation where Christian lyrics rather than hymns are sung, sermons are available for sale on tape, and the crowd of attendants genuinely enjoys the service. The pastors speak to topics that are very applicable to young people and tend to be on thought-provoking, moving material. Grace features a younger crowd than most traditional places of worship and offers numerous bonding activities for folks of all ages. The GFC community is friendly and really supportive of newcomers so if you're looking for a new church home, definitely check them out. To accommodate various schedules, GFC has services on Saturday nights as well as ~3 on Sunday mornings.

And, with the philosophy of "no perfect people allowed," I'm sure anyone would feel just as comfortable and welcome here.

The building takes it's inspiration from Gothic cathedrals with large pointed arches and arched glass windows. The stained glass windows in the apse are colorful and detailed. It has a large nave that seems to go on for yards. The wooden pews are solid as the faith as the people who built this church. The church is a wonderful location for organ and vocal music. The acoustics and sound system are very impressive in this building. The cantor's deep baritone voice carried perfectly and the choice of music was well suited for a somber event.

Services are alright as far as a heathen's perspective goes, enough people singing during mass that you don't even have to pretend to move your lips. Choir's okay. Didn't get too many odd looks when I stayed in the pews while people shuffled up for communion, though I think in two years I only saw one other Asian there and he looked adopted. The flock is primarily a mix of young white families and older white couples. You notice these details in between all the standing and sitting and kneeling and shaking hands with your neighbors. I preferred sitting behind the pillars out of politeness. Very spacious church, though definitely chilly. Seriously love the architecture and stained glass windows, it's the kind of venue little girls might dream about using in the far future.

This review is to help those who don't feel they are valued in this church. You are not alone…read more While there is an overwhelming amount of positive reviews of Rock City Church, they are not all genuine. Bishop Bart Pierce, and his leadership team push, and almost force members to leave positive reviews to counteract the negative ones that are slowly coming forward. Any comments you see of the abnormal amount of control the founder, Bishop Bart Pierce has over the congregation is 100% true. I have been a member for many, many years, and I have seen how those in the congregation idolize him. I used to be one of them. He is idolized almost to the point where he is just a step under God. No one makes a move in life unless Bishop approves it. Whether spiritually or personally. This is because Bishop is supposed to be the main prophet over the house. But, even if God is telling a member of the congregation something else outside of the vision Bishop has, he will not only shoot it down, but he will berate you and chastise you for being outside the will of God. While it is fair that not everyone will agree on God's direction for one's life, it's scary to give one man so much control over the trajectory of one's personal life choices. While he is an exceptional and illustrative speaker, behind the scenes, he is very condescending and threatening to those whom he does not value. Bishop Bart Pierce has his favorites in the church, but those who are not considered to be as such are under his harsh thumb. I have personally seen him threaten people's positions at the church if they do not fall into his standards. He once threatened a man's job at the church in the middle of a sermon! Like on stage in front of everyone! I've seen him yell at people to the point where other members witnessing his outburst go and cry in the bathroom. It's hard to see someone who is supposed to be a loving Pastor be so monstrous behind the scenes. He loves to tell people how they are not important enough for the devil to care about them. And he also loves to tell the congregation how important he is because of his life experience and how much pomp and circumstance follow him around during his many travels. I personally interpret this as him having a heavy amount of pride. And while I do think he loves God, I don't think he loves people. At least the people he doesn't find important. He would speak during some sermons of the days before he was saved. He was called black Bart back then. In my experience with this Pastor, he is still Black Bart in the church. And unfortunately, his pride and conceit trickle down to other leaders in the church. It's almost as if, if you are not on good terms with Bishop Bart Pierce, you are not on good terms with many leaders in the church. And if this happens, you are ostracized. People you thought were your friends will distance themselves from you. They will even talk about you behind your back. A couple of members who do this are Julie Traut and Darlene Marshall. They are completely devoted to the vision and direction of Bishop Bart Pierce. To the point where they will shun and gossip about anyone whom he deems invaluable. On the flipside, the establishment of rock city church has done great things for people who would've otherwise not had any place to go and worship and attempt to find some sort of community. So, while the institution itself is very helpful to those looking for a place to Try and find community, it's also not completely safe for those who hope to be vulnerable with a church family. So my advice is to take advantage of the resources. Bishop Bart Pierce has already done the work and created a place for people to worship, go to school and participate in sports and year-round events. So take full advantage until you find a safer place. But if you feel ostracized or that something is just not quite right, listen to that voice. I would also recommend not getting too close to the leadership. Unless you become a favorite of Bart Pierce, then you're good. But if you're not, I would be weary of letting any of them into your close circle. Again, this message is for those who somehow feel undervalued at Rock City Church. This message is not intended to deter you from attending this church; it's rather to help you protect your heart from pain and heartbreak caused by betrayal. And not just at the church, but at the connected nonprofits. For example, a lot of girls at the hiding place, the shelter for pregnant women, have stories of how the pastors residing at the house have no compassion or love towards them in their most vulnerable state. It's a hard place to be when you have nowhere else to go. I do not think this place is a place of love. At least not that is described in the Bible. It oozes with judgment, conceit, and Condemnation.

When we were first moving to town and our son's new school said they had a new church plant that…read moremet in their library my family wasn't too sure about the idea of it. But since we knew where it was and it was closer than any other church we might be interested we figured we'd try it out. It was a little different the first few times as they were sometimes inside and sometimes outside (with the cicadas) but we kept going. Every week seemed like a new adventure. I'm so glad we stuck with it though. Pastor Peter gives great sermons and everyone is so welcoming. It's especially been nice for us to really get to know some of the teachers from Concordia Prep and their families. But there are also members of the recently closed First Lutheran. So there's a nice mix of generations. The music is also very blended between hymns and contemporary. If you want to be a part of a church in the making and don't want to get lost in the crowd, this is the church for you and your family. It's just one service a week right now. But I for one am excited to see programs develop and our church family grow.
