Music was upbeat and meaningful. Pastor delivered an easy to follow message in a very energetic matter. Loved watching the people being baptized in the beautiful baptismal. My husband and I were spiritually blessed by the entire service.

I had tried out a few churches in the area before I found First Christian. I've stayed at First…read moreChristian because I feel a genuine connection to the church's leaders and their sermons. I had never been to a large church before visiting First Christian and I had wondered if I would feel out of place. Now I know that the size and style of a church doesn't matter nearly as much as the content of their sermons. First Christian has many effective teachers on staff. They teach from the bible, and they do it in a way that ties scripture to the challenges that many Christians are facing today. Ryan Rasmussen is the church's new pastor. I've heard a few of his sermons now and it's clear to me that he is a powerful leader who packs a lot of genuine excitement into his sermons. I would recommend this church to anyone in any demographic. I can especially see how non-Christians and young individuals would feel comfortable here. In case anyone is wondering, I hold no position at the church. I am simply a guy who has attended First Christian for 2 years now and has enjoyed the experience of growing closer to God.

I've had diapers not returned to me. I've been told that my son can't come into school even though he was 21 hours (not 24 hrs) post temp making me have to call off work to continue keeping him at home. They must put their thermometers in an oven before testing our kids temps bc when I get my child home after the call for pickup, they are usually afebrile. In my advice avoid this place at all costs.

Even though that random week that Faith Friends picked the full time kids are there. So they basically want the consumer (the parent) to pay for services that they won't even be using. Therfore, they are basically stealing. I let a couple know about this tonight and they aren't even going to bother to call and look I to the daycare now.

My daughter is in kindergarten at Heritage Christian School and loves it! They make learning fun…read moreand teach all the required skills my child needs. There are lots of sports & extra curricular activities that they offer as well, even some family fun nights! My daughter enjoys having breakfast in the mornings before class and lunch in the afternoon. Her teacher this year is Miss K, we love her! She is super understanding of our family situation and communicates promptly with us. Any time I ask a question about tuition or something to turn in, I sense no judgement whatsoever and always get the assistance I need. I appreciate the school's core values and everything they are instilling into my child.

Very family-oriented school. The children are loved by their teachers, and it shows. Great God…read morecentered education. My son has attended since kindergarten, and I only wish the school would go thru Senior Year so they kids did not have to leave where they are comfortable. The teachers and staff communicate well with the parents and know all the kids individually. And with the Ohio Ed Choice Scholarship your child can attend for free. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful school for our son.
