There are many high quality musicians there bringing the christian music to life, as well as the stage set up and all the technicians operating the equipment. The pastors are excellent in getting their message across to you including personal stories of their own. Which helps in knoiwing they have thier faults as well, jjust like all of us listening to the message each Sunday---GOD is in the house---waiting for you to ask for his help. There alot of ways to get involved in this church, from joining small groups, to participating in many of the various behind the scenes groups, None of which we have been involved as of yet. Stop by and check them out, or visit them at crosswaycc.org for more indept information.

It's a large church but from the back very hard to see the priest or hear him. Beautiful church though. When it's time to accept the host, there is no order and people walk back the same way they came up to the alter. It was a mess. The first communion was nice, even after I couldn't hear a word from priest or see him. I'll bet most parishioners live in the neighborhood and just walk to the church. Big huge room downstairs with dated bathrooms.

The hymnals are still put up the old fashion way wooden board and all. The tradition I loved the most was when Ryan the pastor asked the parishioners about pray request. This may seems like not a big deal to you but it truly is. Your asking your self Why?? This is not seen in most church's anymore. It had build a sense of trust and camaraderie with the family. That right I said family why because that you see when you walk in and its what you hear about when you talk to people that go there. It's a church family that is always looking to expand. As you walk in the front door your immediately overcome by the amazingly precious blue light waves. This blue holo comes from the floor-to-ceiling blue stain glass fills the church's space and warms you all as you walk in. It gives you a sense of blessing are coming your way. My daughter really had fun at the Sunday School she brought back a gift that she made for my wife and I. The school is taught by the Pastor's wife which I loved because is remained me when I went to Sunday daycare with my parents. If you bring your kids you will also find that you just don't drop them off as you walk in kids are actually welcomed to stay with the parents for the 1st scripture reading that comes from the old testament the Palm Sunday were visited. Surprisingly my daughter did not kick the benches in front of her or scream bad words (Miracles Can Happen) she was quit and sat there listening and then asked me questions about God while we were driving back home after service. This is the 1st time she has asked me a question about faith. MMC also has a lot of events going on. Check the website as its updated regularly. Look for Ryan's Blog it's a cool read. The music is traditional and very upbeat. There is a young girl who's name I don't know that has been truly blessed with the great talent of playing the piano. Makes me want to put my daughter in piano lessons and then have go on talent shows and win money.... We're was I?? The lead signer is named Chuck I believe. Chuck has a very cool voice country with a little bit of Massachusetts Twain and grit added. As he was signing you felt that love and passions he has. He not only sings but also plays the guitar with a very cool cross patch on his neck strap. I collect patches so I noticed. The Pastor Ryan him self is a great guy. He loves and is really proud of the church and his county. He unselfishly seats on a public seat to beautify the community in which he lives in and were the church is located. He also sings and plays a signal drum thing. Maybe called I Bongo I don't know. Here's the kicker for me Matthews Memorial Church is over 150 years old it's has a rich and unique history of being in Lowell, MA and then replanting I mean church building and pastor's house and all not just the location to Chelmsford, MA. The fact that this church has that much history may lead you to ponder if the Pastor is old maybe ancient and has been set in is ways of old outdated teachings and just boring. You would be complete wrong I mean wrong as........ lying to a pastor in church wrong or lying to a cop wrong about why you were speeding on I-95. Ryan is young fresh, full of energy and has a passion to not just spread but to truly understands and most importantly LIVING the Gospel day in and day out. He's a voice in the Community and a bold leader in the church and is not afraid to do things his way. Ryan him self is redefining what it means to lead service at MMC. He's open the door to give fellow church goers a chance to go up on the alter and read the Bible. He's brought a updated feel to this place all while keeping the rich history alive and respecting what former pastors laid out for him. After the service ended we might as well hear Sinatra's I did it my way. I'm sure Ryan may want to hear Diamond's Sweet Caroline instead. On a side note I love Sinatra's New York, New York!!!!

Sadly, I am disappointed in this church. I recently moved here and expected a progressive church…read morewith inclusive values and heart. Instead, I found a solely nearly evangelical Christian church - not inclusive of other religious faiths or philosophy. Boring sermons. Pathetic music choices of a very aged school. Compare with West Newton; Boston, Santa Cruz, CA; Monterey, CA; NYC; San Francisco. The icing on the cake is the 'steeple fund'. A steeple is an ornamental item and unnecessary. People in the congregation are in need of help (as well as broader community) yet the church supports and is soliciting funds for a useless piece of ornamentation. The church has its priorities backwards, is out of integrity. The minister's sermons daft. In a recent Gallup poll, people go to church because of the sermon first - some enlightened words. None here.

There was hardly an empty seat, all had high spirits and amazing enthusiasm. Never was a pastor more welcomed. After the vote, she was found and brought back to thunderous applause, a bouquet of flowers, and the church bell pealed out the happy news. In this coming September, come hear her. You will not be disappointed.
