My family & I attended this church at the end of last summer. It is small, but you can feel the…read morelove as soon as you enter. The congregation seemed well-bonded to each other without being a clique. The message was simple & effective & at the end of the service, the congregation prays for individuals. A lovely woman prayed over my family & it was the nicest thing that has happened to us in a church in awhile.

Whether it be a temporary homeless situation, escaping domestic abuse, transitioning from prison, etc., the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission has helped so many people with meals, temporary shelter, teaching work skills, helping people gain independence, and helping lost people find their way. Any time we clean house and decide to get rid of stuff, we always donate our slightly used goods to the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission so they can keep helping people! I know when I donate goods or money that my donation is going to help the local people of our community!

Several friends told me about this church and I was a bit overwhelmed when I first went. I was not used to a contemporary worship with a band and hearing sermons that kept me awake and engaged. This church has a blessed presence that everyone should experience. Coming from a catholic background, this church is great at providing an understanding of the Bible for people of all backgrounds and knowledge levels. I can now say that I understand my own faith and interpret the Bible without getting stumped. All of the pastors are great and I love how varied each pastor is. Like Pastor Lee is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable about the Word and Pastor Jon is very real and speaks from lived experiences. I am not a fan of how the approach homosexuality. Yeah the Bible does speak against it, however it does not mean we should not love those that are gay. I don't ever remember them preaching not to love gay people or speaking of any conversion therapy, they just openly say how the Bible speaks against being gay and sexually immoral in general. That is only thing that upsets me about this church. Overall, this is a great community for anyone of any age seeking community. They have many small groups and seems like they have a lot of options for families and those w/ kids. Hopefully this review can move someone to go to radiant, you won't regret it :

The music is good, not real long but be ready for some serious teaching. The teaching is conversational and not preachy and right out of the Bible. There is something for children in both services.

So, I'm giving Northbridge a 4. ...but I think it's good that the church, as a whole, doesn't go around trying to look perfect either. They're about living in and living out the grace displayed through the Gospel, and holding to the truth of the Gospel...being the "good news" of Jesus Christ. The first time my husband and I went to Northbridge we saw a couple people who obviously struggled to fit in socially...yet they were out there...one seemed to be pleasantly waiting and enjoying the atmosphere, the other smiling and talking with people. On our way out, we discussed the thought that if this church didn't try to 'hide' these people, then we just might fit in ourselves! It's close to 10 years later, and while no church is perfect, we definitely found "home". --My husband adds that he really likes that "without ignoring the reality of sin, the pastor preaches/teaches the importance of the grace Christ extends to us...and extending that grace to others."
