This was one of the better church experiences I have ever had, and they are doing a lot right. I…read morewould come back here in a heartbeat. The music had high school musical vibes mixed with the joy that comes from Jesus. It felt uplifting. I loved the message even more. The speaker clearly spoke from conviction rather than a need to please others. He made Old Testament stories interesting and relevant while weaving in familiar Christian themes, including C.S. Lewis quotes, in a way that felt thoughtful and engaging. I especially appreciated the explanation of communion and the emphasis on how the way of Jesus is countercultural, particularly in contrast to some of the more toxic tendencies of our current culture. The commentary on how parts of the mental health industry can imply that healing is not really possible, and how medications often numb rather than cure, really resonated with me. The staff and attendees were also very friendly and welcoming. The overall atmosphere honestly gave me Trader Joe's vibes, warm, approachable, and community oriented. I did not expect the abundance of free food, ranging from donut holes to McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. While some of the sandwiches were cold, a few were mislabeled, and the American cheese was not the best option, the gesture itself was very generous. I would love to see healthier breakfast options in the future, such as fruit or more locally sourced items. That said, the beverages were high quality, from tea including Yogi tea to coffee and lattes, and I appreciated the free ear buds, internet, and toiletries (tampons, etc) available in the women's bathroom. A couple of practical notes: the chairs may not be comfortable or accessible for someone in the 300 to 500 pound range and appear to be repurposed from when the building was a school. It still says Woodrow Wilson Middle School outside, which can be a bit confusing at first. They may also benefit from opening up more seating to give people additional space. Overall, this church felt authentic, welcoming, and grounded in conviction rather than performance. I left feeling encouraged and would absolutely return.

The elders are scripturally sound and the teaching encourages people to read God's word for themselves ; there is a diversity of opinion on all but the most basic of truths - the nature of God , the fact that he sent his Son as a perfect sacrifice for our sins and that He lived just like we do only without sin . Ministry , or being a servant is core to what EVERY member does , and there are MANY opportunities for service here. I've only been a member here for a few months , but I already am "plugged in" to several groups that focus on specific areas of life. Please come and check us out , we would LOVE to have you !

We came 20 minutes early to see the people coming out of the first service and to have time to meet new people. We stood in the lobby, the main sanctuary, and a small room people gather in and the pastor was the only person to talk to us and that was for about 60 seconds. It might have just have been an off day, but it seemed like it was clicky. I would recommend checking it out for yourself and maybe you'll have a different experience. As for us we are still looking.
