I love this church. My father has been attending for many years. Most recently, I have been joining him. He is 88. I am his third daughter, I'm 61. The congregation member always come to greet him warmly, and say they are happy to see me, and "welcome back". I live about 15 miles away so I don't come regularly. Thru the years, I have seen it during slow times and now am happy to say that it is thriving. With young families and newcomers of all ages.
The music is always special as well, I love the cozy interior of the mid century style structure that was built in 1965 ( I believe) I appreciate its history and that the congregation chose to preserve the original building. They are growing and need more space, so there is a campaign, but they don't push it on you, which I appreciate.
The sermons are always relevant. Ripp Hardaway is wonderful. He is intelligent and down to earth, serious when needed and joyful when appropriate. I always get something from his sermons. So does my Dad. We often discuss what we learned in church. It is always relevant.
We go to the 8:45 service usually. Just fyi.
Ps. I am not the most outwardly religious person. I like to keep it personal. Thank you for reading this. read more
