I will start off by saying I am new to church so maybe I am not an expert on these things. There…read moreare a lot of great and unique aspects to this church that are way better than average. The members are exceedingly nice and embody many of the values that represent a Christian mindset. I have been hugged, prayed for, welcomed and guided during my first few months here. The band rocks and the environment is very low pressure. I also like the variety of speakers they get. Most of which are very good. The mediocre parts come in the fact that about 1/3 or 1/2 of the time the speakers are not very good. I like that they break their messages into multi-week programs that focus on a particular aspect, but that means they maybe shoehorn a guest or have a sermon put together that seems quite disjointed to fit the timeframe for the program. As some have noted, the Sunday message is not terribly scripture based nor is it thought provoking a lot of the time. I attend weekly for the sense of community, but have come to the realization that I will not learn much or be walked through a particular theme or idea from the bible. I do not feel closer to God or like I know his word any better than I did three months ago, but I feel less alone as I try to explore it myself. Lastly, I find the main pastor to be kind of a goober and what I would classify as a weak link to the Sunday service. He is entertaining, but not thought provoking in any way. I find he pops up for a second, says some random thing and goes to doodle on his paper the rest of the service and disappears immediately afterwards. I am sure he contributes a lot to the administration of the church, but as a shepherd to the proverbial flock of the congregation he is pretty weak.

They were welcoming at the service, focusing on being light in others' lives daily, which is totally what I'm about too. I never thought of church as a building, but the people who support others in their personal relationship with God. I've been to lots of churches, but this one just had a sense of openness I have been longing for. They love to worship, clap their hands, and praise God as the bible declares. Love the openness of worship here. If I could say one thing that stands out about this church, it would be that they love people. Open heart, open hand, open mind--Just like Jesus taught.
