I first came to church when visiting my sister. For me, church is an oasis where I can be refreshed with living water. Every Sunday I come with expectation of what message I will receive from our Lord. It is always great. It is a privilege to be part of something great! Overwhelmed by the gift of salvation I have found in Jesus, I have a heart for authentic worship, are passionate about the local church, and are on mission to see God’s kingdom established across the earth. A church that loves God and people.

What drew me to church were the strong family relationships. I grew up in church all my life, but did not know Christ Himself. He was so misrepresented in the religious ‘Christianity’ I knew. When I came to church I met genuine people who loved God and loved each other with all their hearts—people who live Christianity. I was loved on by people who made me feel that it was okay to be not okay sometimes. I didn’t have to put on a smile and act happy. I could come broken and meet a Jesus who really loves me.

We’ve never been part of a church that’s just getting started, so this is all new territory for us. The bottom line is, it’s AWESOME! It’s incredible to see God at work, bringing people together and making the pieces fall into place. For the first time in years, we are truly excited about being in a Sunday morning service. We haven’t worshipped and learned like we are now in quite some time. Everyone has been warm and friendly; but even better than that, they are genuine. We have our new church family!

God is alive and can be found at work in Church … The Holy Spirit moves with power here!!! When my husband and I first began attending several years ago, our marriage was in serious trouble and we were divorcing. Soon we began visiting a marriage series with Pastors, and our marriage was healed and restored during that time! We have a new marriage now … what was once dead has been given new life by the resurrecting power of God! We so happy! Our God reigns here. Thank you for everything.

The people at this church really do get it. Church is not some place we GO. The church is what we ARE, and that understanding makes all the difference! Many people I meet avoid church because they feel like they’re not good enough or that church people somehow have it all together. It is not a church made up of perfect people. It’s a church made up of people who have been forgiven from their broken pasts, who are not afraid to be real and love others unconditionally with the love of Jesus.
