This is a larger venue than some other churches I've gone too in the past, but the excellent production and services aren't so over the top to feel like a concert instead of service. It was really nice to see the new additions and changes since we've both attended in the past, and we hope to baptize or little man to come here soon after he greets us at the end of August.

I used to volunteer with this organization. Seeing some of the negative reviews with this…read moreorganization, I thought I'd share some observations. First, I've seen while working here that during a blizzard, people walk back out into the freezing cold and blowing snow, when told about all the rules and regulations they'd have to adhere to, such as for the first six months, you have to go to classes to learn how to manage money, or a list of jobs within the mission, mostly janitorial duties. Moreover, going to chappel on Thursdays, which although is mandatory, it's a small price to pay if you're given a place to sleep and learning life-skills such as personal finances, being on time for classes, and how to do manual labor to keep the building you live, eat, and sleep in, clean. So many people have left this organization with a job (after six months of working, if you still can't find affordable housing, the organization has rooms you can rent until you do). So, think of this place as a mini-basic training for life. You learn to make your bed, clean up after yourself, respect for yourself and others. Learn to be on time to classes and scheduled work details. In the end, you'll leave with job and other financial skills that people never receive and always are one paycheck away from being homeless. If you're on the street, and you need to desperately start over in life, this place is a great place to start. But, it won't be easy.

I worked with Paulette who is the volunteer coordinator for the mission for both men's and women's location. I was at the Men's location, and the lobby is truly nice with contemporary furniture. I was surprised, but now I understand being that many furniture factories are located in Holland. The place is very clean and well kept, and it was great to see their living areas and how their beds were all made. There aren't alot of personal touches since the place is set up to be a temporary place to support them. The guys there seemed so appreciative of our help and gave us a round of applause, and the tour was nice as well.

Before then, we just couldn't find a church to go to, and I am so grateful and thankful that my sister told us about this one! Ada bible offers a safe place for everyone, and everyone from the greeters to the attendees are super friendly and caring. Areas for younger age groups are available while service is in session, and cookies, coffee, and tea is complimentary. I myself have made an unexpected friend here, someone who noticed my love for tea and introduced me to a brand that I truly adore to this day! Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Ada Bible Church is great! Each service starts with three or four popular and trending christian songs that are played live from a band, where everyone is free to sing along if they wished. There are three main rooms where you can attend service: the main auditorium, and two areas on the second floor, where the service is relayed from the auditorium to a projector for each room. The auditorium and one of the rooms upstairs each have their own live bands. What's even more wonderful is that each service is recorded and accessible (even live) on their website, which is perfect for me as I am currently away and out of state doing a temporary internship. This allows me to stay up to date in the lessons and to jump right back on in when I return. Pastor Jeff offers a themed lessons that extend over a period, highlighting stories within the scripture to describe and teach each learning point within the lesson. His charming and often humorous character highlights his ability to express a sense of ease and comfort, while his genuine and often emotional demeanor portrays his caring and love for others. The church often participates in fundraisers for various causes, and food and supply donations for care organizations (homeless shelters, schools, etc.) have been consistently organized throughout each given year. Honestly, I miss attending in person, and I cannot wait to come back and rejoin my family in learning God's word together.
