They expanded the church dramatically and it is beautiful. The church; growing up was small, always packed during masses but it was cozy. The church community has grown drastically, and even though they expanded the church itself to triple the size it was, during mass, it is still packed. That is how popular this church is. They offer a lot of masses throughout the week and there are always events and special masses going on. I don't attend mass as often as one should; a lot of us are guilty on that. The community is so welcoming though and to just attend one, you may enjoy it enough to go back. It's so beautiful inside and new. Lots of details, very large inside and seating is a semi circle around the alter. Give it a try.

Joining Granite Unite church has been a blessing for me and my husband. We found Granite 7 years…read moreago but in the last year I made the choice to get more involved. The iCampus at Granite is a blessing and this is where God caught my eyes, my ears and my heart. You might ask, what does it mean? Well Pastor Milas messages are powerful and he teaching right from the Bible. What does the bible say and what are you going to do about it. When they say Granite is a place where friends become family, it is true. I joined the Icampus serving team, got involved in a womens zoom small group and my husband and I also attend the Saturday Salem campus. Pastor Jeff and Tracy are awesome.. Also Pastor RIck and Laura from icampus are amazing, they too attend Salem Saturday. Granite has so many activities that give everyone an opportunity to attend and meeting awesome people. What helped me to get back to my christian faith was the SHINE women's conference. I went by myself and Granite made sure they connected me with other women.. Now I have gone twice to SHINE and looking forward to go again next year with my friends. If you are looking for a church to learn about God and call it home, give Granite United Church a try in person or virtually through icampus. The worship music is always Amazing. Hope you come visit us.

Hi! I am a 25 year old and have attended non denominational churches my entire life. I recently…read moreattended a service at your Granite United location in Haverhill. The major issue I had with the service is the one size fits all, typically mega church, move to have your "main pastor" video screen into the church service. No matter what size church, this type of model always feels out of touch and not personal... that being said, I think the campus pastor who spoke afterwards should be allowed to fully pastor this church, he is warm, friendly and clearly a stronger teacher than the main pastor. Although the main pastor may have a vision and gifting with people, he is cheesy and not much of a teacher, from me and my friends perspective who visited. My advice is let the campus pastors actually pastor and let go of the control! Also, it was way too dark and loud... and trust me I've attended many churches, retreats, conferences. Just a little brighter lights and volume a little down would be much more inviting for new and current attendees. Overall I'm sure the local community loves this church for the people and fellowship, but it's not for a structured or insightful message that's for sure. If you want young people to come to your church you are going to need to step it up. We want to learn in an authentic environment where everyone in the church is operating in their proper gifting. Get rid of the screen Big Brother pastor approach and let the individual churches grow. Won't be attending again, but good luck!

It's a large church but from the back very hard to see the priest or hear him. Beautiful church though. When it's time to accept the host, there is no order and people walk back the same way they came up to the alter. It was a mess. The first communion was nice, even after I couldn't hear a word from priest or see him. I'll bet most parishioners live in the neighborhood and just walk to the church. Big huge room downstairs with dated bathrooms.

The warm and welcoming atmosphere is truly special--everyone makes you feel right at home. The pastor is exceptional at capturing your attention, delivering messages that are not only engaging but also deeply rooted in the word of God. His ability to both entertain and enlighten is a rare gift that keeps you connected throughout the service. One of the best parts of this church is the variety of groups you can get involved in. I'm part of the soccer group, and it's been an absolute blast. The people are wonderful, and it really feels like a family both during and after church. The connections I've made here have been invaluable, and I've learned so much through the sermons, growing closer to God in the process. If you're considering whether or not to attend, I wholeheartedly invite you to join us. I hope you'll find a group that resonates with you, and I wish you a blessed day. Thank you for reading!

Pastor Gary McClenthen is a warm, sincere pastor, who really cares about his congregation. His sermons really make you think about what it is to be a Christian. He preaches about how God is all love. Jesus Christ is our savior and intercessor. The devil is the accuser. God will forgive all of our sins if we repent and turn to Jesus Christ. Maplewood Baptist Church is a warm and welcoming church. The people are warm and caring. Sometimes, the church building may not feel that warm, because there are problems with the furnace. However, it is worth the small discomfort to come and be among friends, who really care about each other.

There is a beautiful pipe organ in the choir loft at the back of the church. There is only one bathroom with one stall, so keep that in mind if you're coming for an event.

Which church to attend is a very personal preference, but Woburn has a great Catholic community with this small but very nice church.
