This temple caters to thinkers and spiritual people…read more It welcomes interfaith couples, couples both traditional and less so, singles, etc. It is welcoming and friendly by and large due to it's rabbi. I am sitting temple during Rosh Hashanah service and writing this text to my rabbi after listening to his sermon. "Your sermons are so spot on they almost make me want to stand up in the middle of them and shout "damn right, man!" This year was the best of them, you captured the esoteric crisis I and others have with religion being form over substance and not relating to the need to find a source for "nutz and bolts" guidance on the path to enlightenment or even in stemming the tide of frustration experienced by us in a world where accountability for ones actions becomes more and more scarce. Hope you don't get this in the middle of the service but I needed to write it while stirred by the similarity of our world view expressed in your sermon."

We live in California and so can't speak to the quality of the synagogue itself, but I can say that Cantor Michael is really inspiring, a great Jewish educator... not to mention that he's a great cantor with a spectacular voice.

I have been attending SVBC since I was born in 2001. I always knew it was a great place, but I…read morenever realized how incredible this church was until I left for college and I surprisingly found it difficult to find a welcoming, Bible-believing church. Finding a multi-cultural multi-generational church on the north shore of Chicago is probably very very rare, but here's SVBC. The current senior pastor, Pastor Tim, bases his sermons on scripture (how it should be). The Gospel is preached every single Sunday, which is so so so important, as it's the center of our purpose! This is not a feel good prosperity church as so many are today. SVBC has repeatedly convicted me, drawn me so much closer to Jesus, and given me a family. I am so forever thankful for this church. No matter who you are or where you are in life, SVBC is the place to be.

Started attending North Sub about a year ago when I moved to the area. It is a wonderful church!…read more The people are all so friendly and the kids programs are awesome. If you are not familiar with the Evangelical Free Church, it is a normal, mainstream evangelical church. No weird doctrines or anything. :-) Trinity International University located in Deerfield is actually a Evangelical Free school. The church has a lot of good programs and support groups for the community, too. The congregation, I feel, is a pretty good mix - it's not all rich, white North Shore folks. :)
