I really enjoyed the concert, but since this is a venue review rather than a performance or church service review, I'll focus on the space itself. The church has a huge parking lot, which is great, but it was a bit hard to see at night. Inside, there is plenty of seating, so finding a spot wasn't an issue. One downside is that all the seating is flat. If you're attending a concert, I'd highly recommend sitting as close to the front as possible for a better view. I sat in an aisle seat and tried recording a video a few times, but even then, I could barely see past the person's head in front of me. Overall, it's a spacious venue with good parking, but for performances, the flat seating can make visibility challenging.

God had changed my life a number of years ago and lead me to seek a stronger relationship with Him…read morethrough studying His Word and seeking community and fellowship. Due to my past experience with church, I was extremely careful about which church I would be exploring. Reluctant even, finding any little reason not to join. After playing with our kids at Civic Park one afternoon, I literally saw the "signs". There were 3-4 Open Table Church signs setup at Civic Park providing enough information to pique my interest. Even then, I was hesitant to jump in immediately and wanted to research the church online before just walking in. The church was in its infancy, no over the top productions, a simple church that was there to put God first, to fellowship with other believers, and to study the Word. The church is open to those who are both new to exploring a relationship with Jesus and to those who want to continue to develop a stronger relationship with Jesus. The entire church plan and vision was laid out in front of me and I couldn't find any reason not to explore it further. My first day, I was welcomed with open arms by Ann Cooley. Pastor Wayne introduced himself to me and was interested in hearing more about my history and my interest in exploring Open Table Church. I was moved by the worship music lead by the awesome Wes Cooley, I was fascinated by Wayne's delivery of the message, and I fell in love with the OTC Community. God was telling me that this was the place for me to be. This was my new home where I can continue to develop my relationship with Him. It was also the perfect church to introduce to my wife and our kids who had little to no relationship with God and no history with a church. We have each found a home at OTC and it is now a part of our family.

Unfortunately that's not the case. A recent service showed that the pastor is using his pulpit to express his rather one sided political views. Thus both the lead pastor and associate pastors decided to focus, not on biblical teachings, but their own somewhat uniformed worldly views. It would be best to remember that Jesus refused to get into politics. He disappointed those who wanted him to lead a "revolution" against the ruling power: Rome. This church seems not to follow Jesus' example. It is eager to follow popular worldly trends rather than the Bible. Unfortunate given that they have nice facilities and location. But this type of world driven unbiblical claptrap is why "mainstream" Christian churches are losing members while Bible based ones are growing.
