We just moved here and are searching for a home church. It's just me and my daughter, as I'm a…read moresingle mom. The website said they start at 11, so we showed up at 10:45, come to find out they're doing a special series for the month and don't start until 11:30. Had to drive around the parking lot a couple times before we could get a spot. Walking in, the greeters at the door didn't even say anything to welcome us in. It seemed disorganized. Everyone walking everywhere, looked like a bunch of bees flying around. This is a LARGE church by the way with police helping with traffic. We walked over to kids check in (which took us a while to find. I thought I was standing in line for it bc I followed the signs, but turns out it was just a guy and his daughter waiting for someone). The kids leaders were extremely welcoming and kind to my daughter. My daughter even made a friend. Austin checked us in and he was super friendly and helpful. After I dropped my daughter off, I went to wait for them to let us into the auditorium. Standing there by myself, not one person came up to me. They were all saying hey and chatting with people they knew, all regulars at the church. I was extremely uncomfortable. I did see the worship leader greet the people next to me, so I give them props for that. It was nice to see him trying to get to know people. They finally let us into the auditorium. The music was SO loud. The bass especially was irritatingly loud (I come from loud, band like churches, and this was bad). Still no one greeted me as I was sitting there for 15 mins waiting for church to start. When the band started playing, I could tell it wasn't good. The bass and drums were so loud, i couldn't hear the singer hardly. It was really hard to drop everything and focus on God because it was so loud. I did like how everyone was high energy. That's what I'm looking for in a church, is the excitement of praising the Lord. Apparently everyone had a coke and popcorn to which I had no idea I could get, since no one told me. So everyone around me was eating their popcorn and drinking their coke. I wish I could have gotten in on that. For this series, they watched clips of a movie and talked about Bible verses that relate to that scene. It was okay. The pastor was on screen the whole time, never in person (all pre-recorded). I wasn't into that. Someone wouldn't be able to write notes in paper bc it was dark the whole time with the lights out for the movie. It felt very mainstream being there, not a lot of people focusing on God, I feel like they're all there for their friends or to watch a movie. I also felt like I dressed up in heels and a dress to go to the movies. You could see the disorganization probably with the issues I encountered in my one first visit. We will keep searching.

Most UM congregations in Brevard are quite a bit more conservative than in other areas, due to the local demographics. I visited here with a friend last week, who was searching for a solid mainline/progressive church in the area. He and his partner have been United Methodists for many years, but will probably need to look at other options in this area. Beachside, there aren't many options, but there is a Presbyterian church by the bridge, and a Lutheran church just south of 5th ave.

The services are scheduled one early and one later on Sunday so you can still make it to church and do other things with your day it needed. They have Bible studies for women and men separated and they are offered Morning out a week night usually Tuesday. They have Bible classes for kids on Sunday too. It's big but not a shopping mall size so you still can feel like a home town church. They have a nice gift shop to pick up a Bible or reading material and offer a coffee shop before service. The poster is really nice and they study the Bible verse by verse. I've been attending this church for almost 6 months after checking out many churches and feel that I have been welcomed and made to feel at home here the best. People dress casually for service. Oh and if you enjoy worship music you will really enjoy worship at this church.
