Since April, I have been a frequent visitor and if I end up moving to the area, I will become a member. The sanctuary may be large and the programs numerous, but there is an intimate feel to this house of worship. For several years I had been burned out on the hypocrisy of churches and the judgements felt from the "RELIGIOUS" people I knew. This place is a refreshing, biblically based- church with imperfect people trying to minister to others. I have felt welcomed there in church services, art classes, Women's ministry events and more.

After I was invited to come to West Des Moines Christian Church, I went to the early service a couple of times and immediately realized that I couldn't wait to come back. It's a welcoming congregation and the pastors are all amazing. Seriously, this was so unexpected! It's what a church should be. I'll admit that I joined the church 6 months after I began attending. The outreach services and activities are endless. There is something for everyone: sports leagues, bible study, food pantries, mission trips, VBS, and so much more. It's awesome.
