We always feel welcome. Pastor Kip & Jeff are amazing. When our daughter was sick our Southlake family was a great support. The youth program was great for my children especially the middle school. My older 2 kids were both baptized their choice at Southlake. We recently moved and one of hardest parts was leaving this church. No matter where you are at in your faith or even if you are seeking give Southlake a try.

I used to go to this church and thought they were good people but realized recently that they will…read moreonly accept people who agree with them. It isn't about agreeing with God its just about agreeing with them as people. The head pastor Jeff has a huge God complex and misquotes the Bible way more then a pastor should. He can only do a verse word for word if it's right in front of him, and I'm the same on that sometimes (still not as bad as he is but still) but I expect a leader of a congregation to have a little bit more knowledge on the Bible. They completely rejected me when I came out as bisexual which is very much against the Bible which says judge not others lest he be judged. We are called here to love and they showed me nothing but hate. Very sad.

Rock point is a great church & Family! Pastor Jeff has a good relationship with everyone.

My husband and I arrived in McMinnville, September 2016. We wanted to find a church that was wasn't…read more"preacy." A faith community that honors the Spirit Within. One that doesn't worship Jesus, but rather strives to follow his teachings. We were passionate about social justice, the arts, and connecting with other like-spirited people from all walks of life. We found it at First Baptist Church. Love that our pastor is a woman. FBC has been our home for 10+ and many more years. "Together, we follow the call of the Spirit and the teachings of Jesus to learn, love, serve, and seek justice and joy for all. We hope you'll find a way to connect that is meaningful to you, a way that reminds you of God's deep love for you and for all the world. Please reach out with any questions."

I'm going on a tour of churches in this small city, and this church was perfectly serviceable. It…read morehad nice music, pretty good communion bread, and and overall feeling of community and acceptance. With that said, the paster is just okay, she talks is a pretty monotone voice and the lesson that I went to was just okay. They were also welcoming new members to the group and she made us form a circle while holding hands, I don't like physical touch, so it made me a bit uncomfortable. Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure it's great for other people. Also, as a note, they don't require masks anymore, so don't listen to "mask nazi" guy.

Southwest Hills has been my church home since '95. A friend brought me and I was struck at how…read morefriendly and welcoming everyone was and the fact that the teaching pastor at the time, Rick Elzinga, remembered my name only after having talked with me for less than 5 minutes and said it with confidence the next time I went. He was an amazing pastor. After 30 some years, he "retired" from the pastor position and now Daniel Fender is our teaching pastor. He smiles always and is very engaging "in the pulpit" (we don't actually have a pulpit) and out. If you're looking for a church home, I recommend SW Hills. They have a wonderful youth pastor and youth programs, which include AWANA, women's ministry, men's ministry, music ministry, etc. It's big enough, but not so big that you won't see the same people when you go.

Our family has been a part of Southwest Hills Baptist Church in Beaverton for just over a year. We…read morehave appreciated the children's programs for our little ones such as AWANA, VBS, and Sunday school classes. We also respect and enjoy the Biblically-rooted teachings each Sunday. I have enjoyed the women's discipleship program, and the opportunity to connect and engage with women of various walks of life through this, and other women's ministries here. It has been easy to get plugged in with this congregation.

Churches are so subjective…read more.. This one is gorgeous- a real gothic feel from the steeple and stained glass windows to the altar. The pews are high back and uncomfortable. The church is over 100 years old so I guess they didn't care about comfort when they made it :) Fr Phil is wonderful and has a good sermon now and then, even if it is read verbatim from the pulpit- no ad libbing here. Sometimes, a seminarian will preach, which can be good or bad- sometimes they have very thick accents so it's hard to understand. The music is so old school- I mean like a school from 100 years ago- and the choir can be off key. Everything is sung, so it seems, so this can be a real drag if you want something livelier in your mass. In the end, it was the music that did me in. Overall- the good and bad equal each other out- 3 stars.

I grew up here and so I think it has kind of been my measuring stick of parishes. I really like…read moreFather Philip, the current pastor. He is friendly and personable but also a little bit "type A." Mass goes an hour and not a minute longer except for the big holidays. He runs a tight ship and there is nothing gamey or cutesy about mass here. It is plainly and simply mass. It leaves you feeling spiritually "full," but without being overly emotional or dramatic. There are some talented musicians, but how good the music is depends on who the current music minister is. Things are good right now. The pews are uncomfortable, but the church itself is one of the most beautiful in Oregon.
