No Church is perfect, but this church comes close…read more This church has a large congregation, the majority of which live in a 10 mile or so radius. There are many families with kids, college students, some single folks and retirees. However, it lacks racial diversity as many people in the area are white. Now that it's not something I normally include in a review, but with racial tensions high, it's only fair to include that fact. I judge people by their heart and character. Everything else is up to God. The people here have been over all fairly friendly to me, originally a Rochesterian transplanted to Pittsburgh for 18 years, who abruptly moved back last August (the ultimate in recycling). They have been welcoming and patient as I relearn my hometown. The welcoming committee is wonderful, making sure that I connected with some Ministries and introduced me to various people as they wandered through the lobby on the way to the cafe, the nursery, or the service, and made sure I was in a newcomers class. That was thoroughly enjoyable, as we had very diverse demographics, including a couple who moved here from Haiti. The church as a whole, encourages each person to become involved in a ministry, with many to choose from. I had my own ministries in prayer for EMS, police, fire fighters, etc., and for the homeless, that I started in Pittsburgh, and brought to Rochester. But I'm also involved in the Thursday night ladies prayer group. My group is exceptionally kind and welcoming. There are prayer groups every day of the week, for everybody: men, women, young adults, singles, college students, older adults, married couples, etc. They also hold an annual open house of sorts, where they have a large room setup for different groups with representatives, tables and literature so you can come and talk to each group facilitator and decide which one is best for you. You are also welcome to start your own group. Their support for this is great. The service format is as follows. They start with songs of praise with a really talented, energetic praise and worship team. This is followed by preaching by the lead pastor, a native Rochesterian. Pastor Rob Cattalani is a gifted speaker, and thoroughly knowledgeable about the Bible, and it's practical application to everyday life. It is truly a joy to hear him speak. He is an animated and engaging speaker, and very personable when you meet him. He's the kind of person that I would like to discuss Calvinism V Perfectionism V Determinism, for instance, over coffee (few would be jazzed by that discussion). He's a rare combination of ability to preach and to teach. They have an active and wonderful Child Care & Nursery, staffed by trained volunteers, usually parents, college students and retirees. Everyone has been thoroughly vetted for child abuse clearances. There are groups for older adults, young professionals, high school and for college students as well as young children. The church is still, however, relying heavily on video conferencing until it is safe for everyone to meet in person. Still, it doesn't seem to be a challenge. This congregation, which has been in existence for over 30 years, seems to be a very tight-knit, but welcoming group. It's a blessing to be in their midst.

I was saved in 2023 after years of believing in other false ideologies. Since 2024, and currently, I've been letting the Holy Spirit lead me to a solid church for baptism. Not something to rush into, I sought out Grace Road initially for baptism, but missed their last baptism Sunday. Pastor Dan W connected with me after emailing them and helped approve me for a financial need through their care ministry. He and the church staff also prayed for me last Wednesday (12/17/25) after submitting a prayer request for things God has me in right now. Without even having attended in person, and without even meeting me personally, Grace Road has welcomed me with open arms and prayer. I intend to keep tuning in online and hope to be able to tithe to their church. I trust the Lord will move in me when it comes a day for my children and I to visit the church first hand. It just is difficult with little familial support and being a single mom with small children/also trusting strangers to care for them.

Many people talked to each other in the congregation during the service which I found to be quite rude and made my experience very bad. When my wife and I visited Holy Spirit we were welcome as we entered the sanctuary provided bulletins. The inside of this church is very large. We went to the 2nd service and so surprised to read in the bulletin the number of people that turn out to the services. I believe in was a couple hundred at least. They have a very nice choir where you can actually hear them sing over the congregation. Many churches I've been to it has been you can barely hear the choir at all. I found the children's portion of the service to be very welcoming to kids of all ages. All and all we will be visiting again. Such a wonderful place to attend worship. The priest we met during our visit was quite nice. We had a chance to speak with him regarding our visit as it was our first time there. He was surprised to hear that we heard of the church because it was where we went to vote this year.
