Pastor said God doesn't create evil. Please explain this verse pastor: Isa 45:7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Sure, everyone is nice and friendly and welcoming just like any other church, after all, "put on Sundays best right?!" Problem is, what did Jesus say? Mat 23:27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. And another reminder of what Jesus instructed: Jhn 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. To say God does not create evil is not truth. On another note, the presence of the Holy Spirit was not there. A lack of love, it's more of a facade. Be careful people. Looks can be deceiving. Mat 23:28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. read more

Reston Bible Church - Churches Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Ok this place would get 3.5 stars, I do consider myself someone who is a Christian. I only went a few times, because my friend started to go and raved about it. So I thought I would give it a fair shot. Its smaller than what I had been attending so that was a plus. The pastor that day wasn't the most dynamic speaker to draw me in but he did a pretty sufficient job. I didn't find the congregation all that particularly friendly. I think the biggest challenge with churches at times is if you didn't grow up in church some have a hard time trying to reach out or try to identify with you. And frankly I am not looking for someone to identify with me, I just want someone who isn't going to make a snap judgment about me. So my quest continues in trying to find a church that meets all of my needs. I find that trying to find a good church is a lot like dating, sometimes you have bad experiences, just ok, and great. And sometimes you have to experience them all. read more

Met Pastor Mike on a Tres Dias weekend in 2006 ... hands down he is easily one of, if not, the best teachers in NoVA. Practical application, extemporaneous speaking, and taglines are his specialties. Real big problem is the music (and reason for leaving) -- ugh, just awful. Dead. Tempo is way too slow, too somber. Like singing at a funeral. Song leader routinely has eyes closed -- plain crazy. Whatever happened to "praise and worship?" read more

I give this non-denominational church 5 stars. Now, I'm not the church-going type. I consider myself agnostic, but I went here when I was younger due to neighborhood friends going here and bringing me, my sister, and my mother along. They have (or had at that time) an AWANA program one night a week for the kids to learn the bible in a fun way, and play games and such. I went there a few times, had fun, but it was more b/c of the social aspect than anything else. I will say that everyone I know who is the church attending type, and goes here, loves it. (One person being my mother). Also, they have a really good community, and help each other when in need. (i.e. a large family had their main provider pass away, and the church helped them out in every way possible). This is what I think a church should be like... and if I lived in the area, and was religious... I would most likely go here. read more

I have only been going to this church for a few months after switching from McLean Bible Church. I loved McLean for the music but wasn't finding a community. Now with Reston they have Shepard groups and tons of classes, so I hope to get connected soon. I did take their Starting Point class which was excellent and I would recommend to everyone, even non-members. read more

I love RBC!! I've been attending for the last 6 or so years, and as a "reformed" Catholic I can't say enough about Pastor Mike and his biblical teachings!! read more

For not being a big church goer this is a wonderful place to start out in my opinion. After going to Christian Fellowship Church and McLean Bible Church I think both are a bit big for a new-comer. I did like that MBC had a young adults service on sunday afternoons/evenings, but it still really busy. I think its great that they put the sermons up on their website incase you missed it. The welcoming crew is very informative and are very friendly. Lots of friendly people also. Haven't been to any of the classes yet. And I'm planning on getting into their Starting Point group, which I think is a great idea for anyone on the new side of going to church or returning from time away. read more

I initially liked the church because the head paster was very focused on scripture. Though I did not agree on much he saw in scripture I saw his heart was really seeking answers in the scripture. But sadly there were others in leadership position - darn mean which made me question the church. I now regret having spent so much time there draining, the life out of me. Too many members have little or no empathy for others, self serving using their stance as gain slayers. Apt to be very judgmental, rather than being spiritually minded - humanistic in their stance, real clicky. Music is horrible which says a lot about the church. And it has gotten very political - pro Trump and then some. Weighted in what I refer as religious thinking that is man made and not spiritual. One likes to hear the head paster talk - a sort of feel good teaching. But he clearly is not a gifted teacher which shows too by the nature of the members. There is better,- much better. read more

My family and I have been going to RBC for the past 3 years now and is the perfect church for us with our walk in Christ. Every time I hear Pastor Minter speak - his message is always right on point and hits it on the head for me. If you are thirsty for God's word and what it really means and how to apply them in your daily walk - then this church is for you. Sometimes the message might be hard to swallow but it is good for the soul and gives true life - which is why Jesus came. I pray that if you are ready this - you'd consider finding a church that will encourage and confirm things for you just as much as it has for me. My son and daughter attends Quest and Awana program. read more

I love this church, I've been going since i was about nine. Though I've never been to one of the adult speakings, the children and youth ministries are fantastic. Excellent childcare for children of all ages. The lessons and activities are fit for their age groups. The Junior High pastor, Aaron Osborne, is amazing. The lessons in junior high can easily be applied to our lives and it's easy to relate to the speakings. The music is great, and easy to sing along to. The Wednesday night small groups and all the other events are fun, educational, and great. This review is more about the children and youth ministries, so please read the other reviews about how the adult services go. I strongly recommend RBC. read more

Great church! Pastor Mike Mitner gives the real word of God. I am glad I came across this church. Highly recommend it!
