    Super friendly and welcoming church. Lots of ways to get connected for adults, kids and teenagers…read more The messages are bible based, relevant and have application for REAL life. It's great to see a church focused on both the local community as well as some of the broader issues around the globe. It's a relaxed atmosphere with good music and lots of opportunities to make an impact and be involved.

    I've been a Christian for almost 50 years. In that time I've attended a Bible college for 2 years…read more(Multnomah University) and received tons on training for various types of ministries, including leading small groups. I'm no stranger to that. About 2 years ago my wife and I began attending this church, and I began to think about what ministry I could plug into. I settled on home study groups, and asked the pastor how I could get into that. He explained their process which I felt was reasonable. It involved joining an ongoing group and working with the group leader, assisting him for a few meetings, which I did. When I had completed the process, the group leader said I did fine and would communicate that with the pastor. It was understood at that point that my next step would be to establish a new study group somewhere in the church community. Both the group leader and the pastor knew this, and after I had completed my training and the study group had ended, I waited patiently for the pastor to contact me. He never did. So, one Sunday I stood waiting in the wings and caught him as he was leaving the stage. He was very brisk with me and wondered why I was waiting for him. I explained that I haven't heard from him and would like to know when the new groups would be starting up. He said "Well, I need to have your proposal for a new group in my Hand by the end of the day today because today is the deadline." Wow. There had been no communication to me about that deadline. And both the pastor and the group leader I worked with knew what my intentions and hopes were because I was pretty clear in my communication. I have never written a review for another church here on Yelp, but my experience with this pastor was very surprising. I was taken aback by his attitude. It's not like they have a gazillion group leaders coming out their ears, I don't understand why there was no communication to me or why he never even got back to me to talk with me about it further, even after my last encounter with him. You would think that when someone shows an interest in serving in the church, and especially in situations where there was a disconnect, the pastor would get back with you and talk about it and reconnect to discuss and review where to go from here. But what I got was Zero, nothing, nada. No followup with me whatsoever. Personally, I find that to be pretty inexcusable. His bedside manner is not the best I've ever seen, that's for sure. So I left the church. Not only was I unimpressed, I was saddened considerably. I would also add that while the preaching here is decent, it comes with what appears to be humor from the stage, but I have other thoughts about that. Dress code is very relaxed and informal. People are friendly.
