The place is now a social event location with an attached banquet hall, bar, and one big dome of a church with a huge organ, stained glass panels, and interesting supportive arches arranged in a circle. There is a connected mansion but I didn't check that out. An impressive place for people to get married for well over 100 years! http://www.jacobhenrymansion.com/weddings/ceremonies/old-central-church.html

I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I've seen with my own 2 eyes so many lives be transformed, healed, delivered and set free. Our Pastor brings forth a mighty Word from God every Wednesday night for our midweek Bible study service and on Sunday you want to talk about preaching, he preaches with Joy, love, excitement and most importantly truth he does that every single time , no matter the day. I love our pastor. I would encourage anyone looking for a home and family I would recommend coming to Life Church, we will love to have you. P.S we have an amazing coffee bar for any and everyone who's a coffee drinker. Talk about getting fed with the Word and being able to get your favorite coffee drink shortly after service is over. Sounds ideal to me!

In fact, it sits right next to or across the street from neighborhood homes. This church seats maybe 250 to 350 of the faithful at most. Nice simple furnishings - not as resplendent as others, but much in keeping with the neighborhood and the people. The pastor and sermon when we were there were very nice - the sermon especially as it was short and thoughtful as opposed to being long and just fit into a time slot. Liked this church a lot. There is also a school next door and an activity center, so you know this is a lively and active parish community. We'll be back to enjoy its simple splendor.

Shaun's homilies are great. Everyone at St. Dennis is doing their best to follow the guidelines during these extraordinary times with COVID. As a Catholic, Mass is all about receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, so it is our reason that going to Mass is so important to us. We have felt completely safe by their protocol. We have felt welcomed from the first time we attended as visitors. Wearing masks has removed our ability to see the full faces and smiles of the parishioners of St. Dennis, but you can see they are the smiling by their eyes, which is a great comfort walking into Mass on a Sunday. We hope that the negative comments on Yelp (for any business in fact) do not prevent one from forming their own opinion by their own experiences, because years have passed and it is 2020 now. Fr. Shaun needs the support of this faithful community. He is new to St. Dennis as of this summer. God be with him and the parishioners of St. Dennis Church!
