I'm not Jewish, but about a year ago, I introduced my kids to Jewish culture through the Maccabeats' YouTube videos. When I told my kids that the Maccabeats were coming to town, they were super excited. When we arrived for the concert, we were greeted by a woman who said she wasn't Jewish either. She welcomed us and answered my questions about how we, as non-Jews, could respect Jewish customs. All the Jews we met were very welcoming also. My girls had a wonderful time dancing with the other kids; one of my kids even sat in an older girl's lap. It broke my heart to hear the Maccabeats talk about some Jewish kids' challenges attending schools with few, if any, other Jews. My kids and I say "Shalom aleikhem" (i.e., peace be upon you) to our Jewish neighbors.

She is a member of the church and helps with the food pantry. I have noticed that she behaves prejudicely towards black people at times. One time, I was going to get a water bottle from the kitchen but Cathy said that I can't have any. So, I just walked away. Then, someone walks through the doors and Cathy offers HIM something to drink. Keep in mind that he's white. I wouldn't have taken it too seriously if one of my friends hadn't told me that the exact same thing happened to them. I thought this church was past all the prejudice acts, but I was totally wrong. Another time was when I asked Mrs. Daniels, the secretary, if I could get a popsicle from the freezer and she said that it was fine. So, I went in the kitchen to go get one and Cathy showed up. I just thought she was doing her own thing so I just grabbed the popsicle. She stopped me and said, "Hey, you can't take one from here." I said, "Mrs. Daniels said I could. You can ask her if you-" She interrupts me and says, "I don't believe you." I was trying to convince her but I knew I couldn't say anything to change her mind, so I just walked away.

They are non-denominational and Biblically based, concentrating on college students (our church is one block away from campus) but also open to all, including families.

You will see African Americans, Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Hatians, Latinos, Whites, students, middle agers and olders. Good music, good prayer, good messages.

I fell in love with Pastor Tony's preaching from the first minute I wandered into a service and his heart for the lost and for evangelizing is very refreshing. The worship music is contemporary and always leads me to praise God. I can expect to hear a solid message every time I visit, and it's also extremely engaging. The church does an excellent job of connecting with your family and getting you involved. There is a four-part new members class designed to teach the basics of the faith as well as what the church believes. The new members class is also a great chance to get to know people.

The sanctuary was beautiful and I was excited to try out this church with the intention of finding my new church home after moving from Arizona. As a first timer I was only greeted once before service by the greeters at the front door who seemed occupied with a conversation with someone else. I walked in with my toddler in my arms and a broken heart. I walked into the sanctuary with my child and took a seat in one of the middle sections and waited for the service to start. The message itself was great, they had a different pastor than their usual one. They stated at the beginning that he was taking time off with his family. During the worship songs and before the message had even started I was approached by an older women asking for me and my son to leave due to my sons crying being " a distraction" and "disruptive" to the service and the people in the congregation that came to learn. Long story short... I chose to stay the whole message/service and did not take my child out. Although I wanted to leave multiple times and wanted to cry my eyes out whenever my baby started to make any type of sound.. I stayed. I can't even properly describe the way the interaction with that older woman made me feel. Humiliation, sadness, anger for my child and heartbreak for the way we were treated as first time visitors might be the only way to describe my utter disbelief.
