I love my church, Metropolitan Community Church of Our Redeemer(MCCOR). I don't go as often as I…read moreshould but I'm glad I'm a member here! I have been attending this church off and on for about 8 years now. I didn't decide to make it official and become a member until about 3 years ago on June 20, 2010. I have nothing but great things to say about my church home and church family. They go above and beyond to see that you have a great experience during church service. Recently our pastor, the Rev. Jeff Pulliam, retired so there's a interim pastor, Rev. Lisa Heilig. Even though, that's a drastic change the message, whoever it's brought by, is always great. Every time I attend church I feel so at peace during the service and once I leave with the recent message my week goes by so smoothly. MCCOR is definitely my little retreat when my life seems be to going off course and it seems like there is nowhere to turn. My MCCOR family is always there to lift my spirits.

My family moved to the CSRA looking for a solid church that teaches the Bible, is sensitive to the…read moreHoly Spirit in worship, and a strong youth program. We also wanted to find a place that valued diversity and was honoring of multiple generations, not just placing emphasis on one generation over the other. What we found in New Hope Worship Center exceeded our expectations in every one of these elements. Their leadership team preaches the word passionately, yet with a humility and reverence that I find to be super refreshing. Their worship ministry makes room for the Holy Spirit and has so many incredible worship leaders instead of just hearing from one person all the time. Their children's, student, and young adults ministries are active and growing, and I'm blessed to see how many nationalities are represented throughout the congregation (they hosted an international potluck that blew us away). As an army brat, I've been used to "church shopping" every time our family was reassigned, and unfortunately sometimes you find that local churches can be clique-ish. It can be hard to integrate, especially for military families. But I've never felt so immediately welcome and embraced by a church community than the one we have here. I'm so glad we found New Hope and made them our church home!

4.5 stars rounded to 5…read more This is an outstanding church that is filled with good, friendly people. It is huge. There's at least 3-4 different sections where you could view the service. Depending on what kind of worship music you like, you can take your pick of which section to sit in. The main service area has an upstairs and downstairs area. Each area has a pretty good view of the main stage, and they also display two large display screens that show what is going on. There's always plenty of room to sit. Constituents are predominantly white, although I do see the occasional black, asian, or hispanic family in the pews. There's two different locations in the Augusta, GA area: -3203 Washington Rd with services at 0920 and 1045 -777 Horizon South Pkwy with services at 0930 and 1115 I've never been to the Grovetown location so I speak only for the 3203 Washington location.. Child care service is available for all ages. It is free and awesome. You simply sign your kid up with the assistants and your kid is in the system for easy check-in and check-out. There is a Children's Ministry (706-922-7030) and a Preschool Ministry (706-922-7042). They even offer weekday preschool and childcare services. Reasons why I love this church: 1. Head pastor is a pretty good speaker. I would give him an A-. Not quite the best I've heard, but he is definitely up there. He is funny without being disrespectful. And despite his jokes and history lessons, he never digresses too much from the bible that it becomes an issue. His messages are on point. 2. Excellent child care services. Assistants and teachers are organized, caring, and extremely friendly. 3. Nobody pressures you to provide "offering" or donations. I've been to some churches where they stick the offering bag right in your face. This church does not even pass around offering bags or envelopes. There's literally zero pressure. 4. There is no pressure for you to join any worship/bible study group or after-service activity. 5. Outstanding band and praise team. 6. Free coffee and relax areas Some things I dislike: 1. It's a little TOO big. I get lost in the halls quite often. 2. A little impersonal. So the drawback of being a big church with no pressure to join groups is that there is no sense of fellowship unless you actively seek it. Once service is over, majority of folks file out and go straight to the parking lot to leave. It is difficult to walk that fine line between being intrusive and being totally detached. I think this church could make a little more effort to get folks involved in fellowship activity. It could be something as small as having a meet and greet event immediately following service. But just having something would be nice(r).

They're all down to earth, fun-loving, non-judgmental and honest and open with their relationship with God. Jesus is our perfect example of what love looks like, and they try to show that to everyone who comes through their doors. Theyre genuine. They provide an open and trusting environment so people with addictions feel comfortable at laying their burdens at the alter and the feet of Christ. I've spoken with some of the congregation who've been healed of addictions and brokenness and saw first hand how the Lord and the pastoral staff loved these people into their healing. I felt home and welcome the moment I walked through the doors. No crazy light shows just worship from a team that truly loves to worship.
