They are multigenerational which means healthy to me. The kids areas were awesome, any kid no matter the age would love it (hello, the kids area looks like a castle!) But also great as the kids grow.

We came to this church, asking for help to get us an extended stay for a hotel, since we only get paid daily and didn't have enough all in one go. We were low on food and it's been getting freezing outside. We didn't have friends or family that we knew and we told this church ALL of this. We were in deep need for some help. They had us fill out an application to see if we could receive anything from them, which already gave us a bad vibe about this place. It's been two whole weeks and they chose not to help us. And do you know what terrible thing the man there said? "If we DECIDE not to help, just know that the Lord will." Are you actually KIDDING me? I'm not going to say much else, but I know the Lord is going to bring this up when you all die. How EVIL!!!

But, also, he cares about the people in his church, and honestly tries to help them in the best way he knows how. If you want sound scriptural teaching, go here. If you want to be told religious lies, and unsound doctrine, don't go to this church. I just saw a review calling what Pastor Moore teaches as heresy. How sad that anyone would lie about Brother Moore. Brother Moore teaches truth, not heresy. We need to pray for this person because no lie is of the truth. It is a lie that this church teaches heresy.

Worth a stop if you are getting married here, attending a wedding here, or are already in the area…read more I would not drive out of my way like some of the angry people who one-starred this spot, but to each their own. What it is - A beautiful chapel in the mountains of Arkansas. One man's dream that he almost didn't complete. Now it is a beautiful example of his dream fulfilled and a great spot for your wedding ceremony. I didn't get married here, but my introduction to this chapel was a wedding 25 years ago, where I was the best man. I came back over the holiday with my kids. We arrived, and there was a sign notifying us that a ceremony was going on, so we came back on a different day. It was just as beautiful as I remembered. It is truly a site to behold. What it isn't - Remember when I said a ceremony was going on when we first arrived? This is a place where people get married. If you were getting married and some yahoo from Louisiana showed up with his two kids dressed casually, you wouldn't particularly like it. So don't drive from far away and definitely don't try to interrupt someone's wedding.

Options for autumn when Canada was "closed" (2 of 2)…read more - - - - - You may not know Thorncrown Chapel by its name, but you've most likely seen photos of it. It's a major example of "less is more" and "good things come in small packages." Thorncrown Chapel is a latticed timber structure - a nondenominational chapel that is Christian in its inspiration - sitting in the hilly, wooded terrain just outside of bohemian Eureka Springs, Arkansas. You will have to look for its small roadway from the highway to visit it. To say that it might resemble a popsicle stick model would be reductionist, but there is this affect in the way it looks. The difference is that the chapel is all about carefully selected, shaped, and connected wood members that make it a significant place in the world of American architecture. It was designed by the states's native son E. Fay Jones. He was the recipient of numerous awards, as is Thorncrown Chapel. The chapel is enclosed in glass. This brings in and keeps out the surroundings and elements, respectively. Sitting in here is a very serene experience. One could worship if they want - its scheme is a Christian one - or could just savor the silence. However, there is soothing instrumental music playing in the background that could intersect with today's new age variety. I thought that was humorous. They do not charge an entrance fee. They didn't when I visited. However, they do ask for donations and, if you visited, you should make a donation. There was a person on hand to answer questions. There might be events here, causing the chapel to open and close for short periods. One typical event might be a wedding. Closer to the entrance and away from the chapel is an office that tends to such affairs. Whether to visit Thorncrown Chapel garners the answer, "It depends." It is at the northwestern border of the state, just outside of Eureka Springs and below the Missouri border. However, it is far from Little Rock and Hot Springs, though not absurdly far from Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas. You will inevitably combine your visit with a visit to Eureka Springs. Eureka Springs is an artsy community shoehorned into a hilly mountain town that has restaurants, coffeehouses, gift shops, and the like ... and most likely garden variety stoners who work at these places. Think Nevada City, CA, Sedona, AZ, Galena, IL, Saratoga Springs, NY, and similar granolafied towns thrown into the middle of rural (and more conservative) America. I got derailed discussing Eureka Springs and its hippie vibe. If, to you, the distance is reasonable and doable, do visit Thorncrown Chapel. It's an interesting and unique mix of contextual, transparent, simple, and yet complex.

Sad representation of Christ by the Pastor - My family and I are farely new to the area and my kids…read more(daughter 5yrs old) and (son 9yrs old) brought home an invitation from school for the Trunk-or-Treat event. My family thought it would be a good time. Where I come from everyone participates and shares and welcomes anyone. I was handing out candy to little ones and they were very polite and welcomed, while my wife and kids looked around. The Pastor first asked me if I was a member of the church, second, if I was alone, then lastly, who I was. Then the Pastor said that I could not hand out candy because he didn't know me and I had an out of state license plate. I introduced my self, but that was not good enough. Even after I introduced my self and explained where we lived and who I was with I still did not feel welcomed. It was a very uncomfortable feeling knowing a man of Christ was so non-welcoming and so judgemental. I was next to a car that was playing rap music with curse words blaring and one of the kids had a fake gun tucked in the front of his pants. How could that be welcome and not me and my family? I had kids and families coming to my car and not the car next to me. It is so sad to see people representing the church in such a way even Christ would not approve of. I will never go back and recommend anyone new to the area to steer clear. I hope this helps in your descision making.

This is the best church I have been to in Fayetteville. It is non-denominational, like quite a few…read morechurches in the area, but I think it has less of a "Baptist" feel than others. For example, a small percentage of the congregation raises their hands during worship. (I have not heard anyone speak in tongues, but there are probably some there who do.) I would say that 90% of attendees/members range in age from 18-30. So, the praise and worship music is contemporary. The worship team rotates musicians and singers in and out every so often, and I think that is excellent because it gives more people opportunities to serve. They all do fantastic jobs. The pastor is excellent. His Biblical messages are well-organized and thought out. Sometimes he uses unconventional methods to get his points across. I think this is very effective with a young congregation. During the school year, services are PACKED. So, get there early.

Everyone in the church genuinely cares for each other and you can just tell in your spirit. The worship is great and the teaching is rich and life giving.

I strongly recommend Grace Hills for anyone who is looking for a community to call home in NWA!

What Grace Hills, with Pastor Brandon at the helm, has done is create a sense of just how powerful a working relationship with God can be, and how it impacts everyday life. Now, and a little more each week, I find myself turning to God as a real being, who really cares what happens to me and all His children. Brandon gives practical, positive messages about an active experience of God's love. He makes it real, without judgment or threats of wrath. The church has a friendly, comfortable atmosphere, that welcomes everyone. This is the best church I've ever been to.
