We were visiting the area on a Sunday. We came to this church because a family member goes here. We…read morewere warmly greeted upon arrival. The lobby is large. There is a bookstore and a cafe counter. The chapel is large with adequate seating. The service began with worship music. The music was contemporary, and the words were projected on a big screen. This week there was a guest speaker. This church is solidly Christian and preaches from the Bible. I will be returning to this church again while visiting.

My wife and I started attending around the first of the year and I was floored, Pastor Mike is so uplifting and non judgmental. He even said he was not their to judge anyone, that is between you and God, he is just there to guide you to a better life. This church, the congregation, the pastor and staff are nothing but welcoming and want to help you. Loud bikes, and loving hearts is all I can find here. If your tired of a spirit empty building who just wants to judge and take, try Maranatha, if your like me you will be astounded at how great this place really is.

My mother, a founding member of the church, was laid to rest a few years ago. The "minister" whom…read morewe met, Daniel Jastrom, failed to honor any of our requests regarding her funeral service. Most disrespectfully of all, he could have, at any point told us he would not be able to honor our requests, but failed to do so. He has the compassion and warmth of a stone. If Messiah Lutheran is unable to sustain itself, in large part it will be because of his failure to connect with parishioners. The congregation has always been wonderful. The same cannot be said of the pastor.

Without any communications with the school board or parents. Then made it so unbearable for the teachers they had to resign after Christmas. All the children and parents are absolutely devastated and I would just like the people of our community to know how awful this was handled and now they are saying they are getting threats from the parents...to try and play the victim cause they can see how angry and sad people are. I just want to say this church is a very business run organization and has no concern for family's and the communities needs. I will never step foot in that building again.
