No Church is perfect, but this church comes close…read more This church has a large congregation, the majority of which live in a 10 mile or so radius. There are many families with kids, college students, some single folks and retirees. However, it lacks racial diversity as many people in the area are white. Now that it's not something I normally include in a review, but with racial tensions high, it's only fair to include that fact. I judge people by their heart and character. Everything else is up to God. The people here have been over all fairly friendly to me, originally a Rochesterian transplanted to Pittsburgh for 18 years, who abruptly moved back last August (the ultimate in recycling). They have been welcoming and patient as I relearn my hometown. The welcoming committee is wonderful, making sure that I connected with some Ministries and introduced me to various people as they wandered through the lobby on the way to the cafe, the nursery, or the service, and made sure I was in a newcomers class. That was thoroughly enjoyable, as we had very diverse demographics, including a couple who moved here from Haiti. The church as a whole, encourages each person to become involved in a ministry, with many to choose from. I had my own ministries in prayer for EMS, police, fire fighters, etc., and for the homeless, that I started in Pittsburgh, and brought to Rochester. But I'm also involved in the Thursday night ladies prayer group. My group is exceptionally kind and welcoming. There are prayer groups every day of the week, for everybody: men, women, young adults, singles, college students, older adults, married couples, etc. They also hold an annual open house of sorts, where they have a large room setup for different groups with representatives, tables and literature so you can come and talk to each group facilitator and decide which one is best for you. You are also welcome to start your own group. Their support for this is great. The service format is as follows. They start with songs of praise with a really talented, energetic praise and worship team. This is followed by preaching by the lead pastor, a native Rochesterian. Pastor Rob Cattalani is a gifted speaker, and thoroughly knowledgeable about the Bible, and it's practical application to everyday life. It is truly a joy to hear him speak. He is an animated and engaging speaker, and very personable when you meet him. He's the kind of person that I would like to discuss Calvinism V Perfectionism V Determinism, for instance, over coffee (few would be jazzed by that discussion). He's a rare combination of ability to preach and to teach. They have an active and wonderful Child Care & Nursery, staffed by trained volunteers, usually parents, college students and retirees. Everyone has been thoroughly vetted for child abuse clearances. There are groups for older adults, young professionals, high school and for college students as well as young children. The church is still, however, relying heavily on video conferencing until it is safe for everyone to meet in person. Still, it doesn't seem to be a challenge. This congregation, which has been in existence for over 30 years, seems to be a very tight-knit, but welcoming group. It's a blessing to be in their midst.

As stated on their website: "We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation which opens wide its doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities." If you're unsure about attending church, they offer a livestream service, which can be a comfortable way to get acquainted. For anyone exploring faith or looking for a welcoming congregation, this seems like a great place to start. It's also our local polling location, which makes it a familiar and important community gathering place. Conveniently located at the corner of East Avenue and Goodman Street, the church also offers parking a definite plus in this area.

How am I the first to review that FABULOUS church?!?!…read more We are up in NY visiting friends and family this week. My sister-in-law invited us to go to church with her Sunday morning. My first thought was "Church on vacation??? I'd rather sleep in." But we decided to go and I'm so glad we did!!! Pulling up to this church, we were surprised by the sheer SIZE of it! It's huge!! There was even a parking attendant directing traffic! Outside the church, there were fun outdoor games: cornhole, ladderball, etc. as well as a food truck and coffee tent. Inside... wow. STUNNING! I LOVED how modern the decor was! Just GORGEOUS! Very spacious! I was SHOCKED that there was a Starbucks in the lobby! WHAAAAAAAT?!?! My sister-in-law had checked the kids into the kids program (Sunday school???). For safety, the children and parent(s) get identification stickers which match up. Everyone was so friendly and inviting!!! We felt very welcomed! Kind of sad that we don't have a cool church like this near us! We found out that if you go to their website, you can watch their services LIVE or ARCHIVED where ever you are!!! We will definitely have to check that out! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
