The minute we walked in we were greeted by Pastor Adam and he started telling us all about their youth ministry before I even shared anything with him. I immediately knew this was Devine intervention! Soon after this my kids attended a youth night service and LOVED IT. We all met at Taco Bell afterwards where I was introduced to Pastor Adayja. I won't go into too much detail, but yet again Devine intervention Over the summer the kids attended Wake Summer Camp. I also served as a leader. This camp was OUTSTANDING! The spirit of God was so noticeably present. I also came to get to know Pastors Jeff and Jess. They have such a heart for God. Being someone who comes from a rocky past and who spent the beginning of my relationship with God attending churches online, I was so fearful when looking for a church that I would have to hide my past and my struggles. Everyone here has allowed me and my kids to be our true authentic selves without fear of judgement. So many of the staff and people we have met here are such a huge part of our lives and support system. These people really show up for you in day to day life. Not just on Sundays. My relationship with God has grown so much here! Every service from the worship to the message is simply amazing. Pastor Jeff preaches wisely, in a fun way that gives life. He makes it so easy to relate the message to every day life. Forever grateful we found Elevate. We love our church!

I spent every wednesday at this church going to youth group since I was in middle school. It's…read morewhere I built christ like frienships and had 2 youth pastors that have truly shaped my walk with christ and helped me in ways that I could never thank them enough for. Kyle, being my first real youth pastor who truly poured all of his time and showed us what child like faith was really like and how good the God we serve is. He spent every week just trying to get more and more teens to come to christ. Hes the reason that over 20 teens decided to take a walk with jesus. I selfishly stopped attending youth for a little bit and when I was finally ready to come around again Kyle had lost his job. I didn't know what was next for me and I didn't know if I would be attending youth again which really hurt me. Until Logan was the next one to take on the youth pastor position. I didn't know if I would come back but I thought it was selfish of me to not just give him a chance. I came back to youth and i'm so glad I did. It was at the time I had just lost my mamaw and I didn't know if youth group is what I wanted at the time. If it wasn't for emily and his encouragement through everything then I don't know where I would be in my faith, and I know a lot of other teens could say the same because i've seen it with my own eyes. His teaching brought people to jesus and helped grow friendships through christ. I stopped going to youth because the leaders of the church who were supposed to encourage us in our faith only hurt us in our faith. I've never expierneced some of the hurt that I felt in that church. After hearing that Logan was asked to step down a person who dedicated his heart and soul into that youth it truly made me realize that not only has this church hurt me but it's also hurt many others, and it's so heartbreaking to see. Church is a place that should lead you closer to God not further from him. It's a place where you shouldn't expierI expected better out of this church and it is so hard to see where it is heading.

Visited St Gertrude's in Madeira today. It's a pretty church with stained glass windows and it has…read morea more modern feel to it. There was a policeman directing traffic before and after church. The entire church was filled for Sunday mass. In the beginning, we were disappointed because it was difficult to understand what was being said via the microphone & speaker system. At first I thought it was me, but all four of us thought the same thing. Apparently we aren't the only ones as there was an announcement today that there is to be a new sound system put in. Good move on their part as I really liked what I could hear well. Was really shocked to see that there were 10 altar servers! I've never seen more than 4. It was nice to see so many youths wanting to participate during mass. The priest tried to make the homily a little more relatable; while discussing "Judge not, lest ye be judged" he used the popular vernacular of "don't judge me, bro". There is a lot of activity going on at St Gertrudes. Next week-end is the Pancake Breakfast, Children's Choir, Adult's Choir, Bible Study, Ladies of Charity, Marriage Enrichment Seminar, Scouts, Prayer Group, etc. There is a residency for Dominican Friars there and that is a wonderful blessing for the church and parishioners. Also, St Gertrudes has Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration! No wonder people are willing to drive a distance to come here.

Best damn preaching in the city!…read more Dominicans are known for their preaching but with a half dozen or more priests always in residency because of the seminary here, you are bound to find several you love and all are at least very good from the pulpit. Also with that many priest, if you want to set an appointment, they will be very accommodating, how many parishes can offer this level of service anymore?! None. Worth the trip. Families travel as far as an hour to go to mass at St. Gertrude. Saturday offers two confession times and three priests are usually hearing confessions and still they are are busy. The Holy Spirit is moving here. The best part is perpetual adoration, you no longer have to go to the Holy Spirit Center or Immaculate Heart of Mary for that.

Architecturally, it is splendid in it's Romanesque style with much marble abounding the inside of the church. Representing beautifully the beatitudes are 8 stained glass windows while the window above the pipe organ fittingly is of St. Cecilia, patroness of music. There are other amazing stained glass windows and a masterfully painted ceiling. It truly is a work of art in itself built in the very early 1900's. The parish offers many ways of being involved with their bingo and they help out with the Food Pantry/St. Vincent de Paul, too. Additionally, they take part in the Annual Harvest Home Parade and have a festival of sorts indoors to enjoy. The cantors voice was really something to hear. We all found Father Terry, to be warm and friendly as he shook our hands and spoke to us after Mass. Turns out he is a graduate of St. Martin of Tours and lives in his family home nearby. Besides that, he has a very comfortable style of preaching which is very engaging. Also, we were greeted and talked to by other parishioners after mass which was very pleasant and made us feel very welcome. If you have the opportunity to attend Mass there, you will probably return as it is an uplifting, moving and very positive experience.
