Like the other reviewer I agree that it feels a bit strange to write a review of a church. However I feel that I must since I disagree with her review. For the sake of full disclosure I consider myself a member of this church, so know that as you read my review. Also we are both 20 somethings.
When me and my now bride were searching for a church to call our own we went to many churches across the west metro, I won't name them all but it seemed like a lot more than was necessary to find one that we both liked, we did try to attend each one multiple times to get a decent impression. What we found was that my bride likes to connect more to the songs during worship and praise while I certainly connect more with the sermons of the pastor. This was something that we knew before we set out on this journey and was solidified through our adventures. After visiting many alternative church services in the west metro, I suggested we give Three Degrees a try. I was working downtown at the the time and this gave me a parking pass that was paid for by my employer.
I wouldn't say that we were instantly connected and committed to the church. But after the first service one of the pastors came up and introduced herself to us and showed sincere interest in learning more about us and what brought us to them. It happened that a week or two later they were having a new member luncheon. This was the first church that we found that offered this to us, and went out of their way to seek us out during their service. We decided that attending that service and the new member luncheon would be a worthwhile investment of our time. During the luncheon we learned lots about the pastors, their beliefs, goals and missions of the church. We decided to continue attending and have been attending services for the last few years.
Due to our busy work and personal schedules we don't attend services every week, but I can say with certainty that we don't take communion every week, I would guess its once a month. As I said before our schedules don't allow us to attend every week so we may personally take communion once a quarter. I would say that the music that's played is often a lot of the same songs from week to week, and I would like to hear some more variety from them. But many of the band members have successful professional music careers so the quality of the music is easily the best I have heard in all the churches. Even though the songs are played often, they are songs I hear when I jump in my brides car and she is listening to KTRS radio.
I hope that if you got this far you don't feel that you wasted your time. And if you do decide to attend a service, I hope you decided to try to search me, my bride, or one of the pastors out after the service to seek more information about the church. If not I wish you the best of luck in your search for your own church home. read more
