I used to attend First Alliance Church and as a new Christian , I have to say this is the Church where I felt most at home. As a convert from an another religion,( (Hindu) I found it extremely difficult to fit in many churches. Alliance drawled lot of internationals, which put me at great ease. The people are genuine and down to earth. Now, it merged with Life Point Church and it is wonderful! The message is positive, life-affirming, grace based and people are very friendly. I did not encounter the fundamentalism, legalism, Charismatic frenzy and weirdness that I have encountered in many churches I attended. The music and worship is inspiring and ecstatic without being out of control. I felt connected to God and was at peace as I worshiped. Also, it is extremely difficult to find an evangelical church as someone who is progressive, as many evangelicals embrace conservatism. That does not seem to be an issue here and never was an issue. I love their "come as you are attitude", because that is what Jesus taught. I will defiantly attend again. read more
