I first stumbled upon Kalos from a Facebook ad a few years ago, but didn't really start attending…read moreuntil April of last year. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect as I hadn't been to church in over a decade, and I had so many questions. Is it a friendly environment? Will the message be interesting/funny/relatable? Am I allowed to wear skinny jeans?! (Spoiler alert: yes to all of the above!) But my search for answers overcame my fear, and once I jumped in, I quickly saw what an incredibly special place Kalos was. A place to know God and develop a personal relationship with Him. To fellowship with other Christians and find spiritual family. To know that I am inherently valuable. And to discover authentic fulfillment in my identity in Christ. As humans, it can be so easy to get in our own heads with "what ifs", but the most beautiful transformations can happen outside our comfort zone. If you're looking for a church, I invite you to give Kalos a try! We are waiting to welcome you with open arms!

I've been part of this church community for the past three years and have appreciated many aspects…read moreof it: warm people, thoughtful teaching, and a focus on relationships. However, I recently learned that the church holds non-affirming views regarding LGBTQ+ identities and relationships. This was not made clear on the website or in any public-facing materials, which made the discovery especially painful. I witnessed others be hurt by what feels like a bait-and-switch, entering a space that seems welcoming only to later find out they are not fully accepted. Transparency matters and clarity is kindness. While churches are entitled to their theological positions, I believe it is important, out of respect for those seeking a safe and welcoming spiritual home, to clearly communicate those beliefs upfront. That way, people can make informed decisions about whether this is a place where they will be fully accepted and supported. This experience has been disappointing but a great learning opportunity. The pastors did make an effort to talk to me and followed up with some sermons about the matter which I have linked below. Personally, it felt like they were more concerned about avoiding the "homophobic" label than about owning the real harm religion has caused LGBTQ+ folks but that's neither here or there; take a listen and consider the theology for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93qb9GjVFzA and a sermon made a few weeks after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_09mZrx447s

We came here as a family on Christmas Eve for the candlelight service. They offered five services…read morethroughout the day, and we decided to go to the 1pm one. The whole church was beautifully decorated for the season. There were two official photo stations for families, but honestly, you could take a picture anywhere and still get great Christmas vibes. There was a huge Christmas tree in the center of the lobby and giant nutcracker statues by the entrance--super festive. They also had several drink stations with coffee, tea, hot cocoa, apple cider, plus cookies for everyone to enjoy. The service itself was wonderful. The message really focused on the heart of Christmas and our Savior, Jesus. At the end, we lit our candles and worshipped together with classic Christmas songs, remembering God's love and grace. Our whole family loved it and had such a meaningful time worshipping together.

We love our church, and we are very sad to be relocating to a different state soon…read more I have no idea what some of these people are talking about on here. My family loves it, my children love it. Pastor Judah is a New York Times best selling author AND pastor/communicator. Churchhome does great work in the community and I LOVE that pastor Judah is scripture teaching rather than soapbox preaching. My only qualm is that there is only one in-person service a month. I'm not in the finance department, but I think prioritizing more in-person services would be a good choice for Churchhome and community! WWJD

This is the church that Asked me to leave after I came out. It was named "city church" at the time…read more Not much has changed since the name change and being asked to leave sent me on a downward spiral I still haven't recovered from. Their "celebrity" pastor Judah Smith and Pastor Jude Fouquier. Left me with lasting damage causing me to almost take my life. The only "sin" I had committed was finally being honest about being gay. I think it's time churches like this are held accountable for giving advice to teens without any semblance of a counseling degree, all while making 100,000's of dollars if not more off the people who attend.

AWARD FOR MOST PENITENT 3 1/2 stars would be more accurate…read more I attended Rain City Church while it was still meeting at Odle Middle School a few years back. I received a flyer in the mail promoting a series of upcoming sermons promoting a theme of reconciliation, in which this church apologized for historical sins commonly committed by Christians in general against non-Christians (and even other Christians), not necessarily just by members of this congregation. I thought this was a breath of fresh air! Included among the topics were it's apologies for homophobia, sexism, racism, bible-thumping, "our church is the one true church", etc.. THE NICE THINGS The pastor's sermons were very lively and uplifting! They were also full of humor(probably an understatement!), which I like. Also, the people there were friendly and the family-friendly atmosphere was very informal, which I also like. And if I remember right, they even had a special play area for kids. They also had yummy snacks to eat after church was over, which I also liked! BUT THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD They played "Christian rock music", which is OK with me, but it was WAY TOO LOUD! I told members, including the pastor, about that, but they just did not understand that the number of decibels they crank up their music is enough to damage people's hearing over time. Needless to say, almost all of the adults were in their 20s or 30s. I pray they lower the volume at least for their kids sake. THE OVERLOOKED "800 POUND GORILLA" Regarding the reconciliation theme of their sermons,they missed the "800 pound gorilla in the room", namely the teaching of eternal hell, which was historically used to frighten people into becoming Christians. Although none of the sermons I attended tried to scare people with the threat of hell, they did have at least one free book out on their literature table promoting that teaching. It is not an exaggeration to say that this doctrine of "eternal hell" can and does traumatize people for life. People have been known to be committed to psychiatric institutions because of it! I told the pastor about this. Although he was genial about it, apparently this policy will not change either. IN CONCLUSION Nevertheless, I must give this congregation serious kudos for apologizing for many of the historical sins of Christianity(though unfortunately, hell was not one of them) in a way that I have never witnessed any other congregation (or denomination) do, which was very open and forthright! If it were not for the excessively loud music and the "800 pound gorilla", I might well have continued to attend this church. In any case, those were the only two things that prevented me from giving them a five star rating.

Watch for special events for junior high and high school - great trips for the kids to take, whether up to the snow, or elsewhere, even supporting a basketball league. Not a huge mega-church, but big enough to have 3 services and be interesting for everyone.

The thing that helped me the most when I first started attending were the small groups. I wasn't a Christian when I first started going and really didn't know much about the Bible. The questions that were asked at small group were usually something a Christian or a non-Christian could answer. This made me feel welcome and comfortable participating right away. I could share with my friends where I was at and ask questions about the things that felt hard for me without worrying about it being the "wrong answer."
