I came home one day to see Grayson and Jordan (I believe) outside of my neighbors door. They then…read moreasked me if I lived there and if I needed a church. Once I found out that it was a Baptist church I politely informed them that I am not Baptist and do not want to go to their church. Grayson ignored me and went on to try and convert me to come anyways. He would not take no for an answer. I had to tell him 3 times that I was not interested before he would leave. First of all, 2 grown men going door to door and forcefully talking about their "church" is not okay. What could have been a simple conversation was quickly turning into a fearful situation for me, a young, single, woman. He was aggressive, condescending and demeaning to me. It's one thing to spread faith and it's another to force your own opinion onto someone else. Thankfully I had my dog with me, otherwise it could've been a scary situation. He was not acting like a Christian the way he handled the conversation. Grayson was an unsettling person to be around for the measly 5 minutes I experienced. I can't even imagine how his sermons must be. Now, it's especially scary since he knows who I am and where I live. A pastor should not make someone feel at risk for their safety. He should not make me feel like I need to be ready to defend myself if I see him again. Please please please do not go to this business.

Most people are so enamored with their 'feel good' preaching, that the true biblical message is too…read morehard for them to hear. I've only listened to a few sermons so far, but realize Pastor Fritts is right on and so thankful that I can get this type of preaching in my home. We have given up on organized religion because it's all about love, love, love or it's Calvinistic to the core. I understand that God so loved the world, but I also see that the people just want to have their ears tickled. You are preaching truth and one of the few people left who will do it unashamedly. I'm passing the word along to get all my family to listen. Should open some eyes and hopefully some hearts to the truth. Thank you. Stand strong Pastor Fritts.

This is place is more than just a church for my wife and I (We are a younger couple in our…read moretwenties). What really sold us on this church is that it's real people and they genuinely want to get to know you. Which is a big deal to us we were done with overly religious places and people that act fake and only meet once a week. Here not only were we approached by the pastors but other church memebers also to meet up over coffee or a meal and that if we had any questions regarding the gospel or life in general to feel free to talk to them. In addition to that there are multiple opportunities to meet besides just Sunday at groups or in out reach opportunities. The pastor preaches practical uses of the gospel for real issues for in this time. He is a really great guy with a kind and genuine heart that is super easy to talk with. Also if one of us happen to be unable to make it on a Sunday they stream the services on Facebook so we can watch from home which is super convenient. My Wife and I have been coming here since 2016 and this place has become apart of our family it has a heart for this community and the people in it and we love this place so much. Oh yeah I almost forgot it also has a coffee shop in the front with awesome coffee and tea options!
