The Bible tells believers "do not grow weary in well-doing". IMO we must remember the purpose of…read morethe local church is to point people to the saving grace of Jesus and to serve one another... I was disappointed to see a negative post because VFB was not able/willing to provide Uber-like services to a Philadelphia Hospital for someone who never took the time to come to a service or reach out in any other way to get to know the mission, message or purpose of this local church which helps SO many non-members from its community. If you're looking for perfection or a solution to your problems, look to Christ first. If you're looking to serve and grow as a person, family, etc. visit VFB. It might be just where God wants YOU!

I have no family here and work day not good for my neighbor, I called this church the lady's who answer phone was very cold, said "we are all busy no one can help". I admire peoples time I already explained I took Uber went to hospital myself, reduce waiting time, just pick me back from Penn to my home only 20 mins driving time. Was sad when need help but people of the church treat me in such cold attitude.

So excited to have found this church right in my backyard! I love everything about it! Everyone is…read morefriendly and welcoming. They offer an amazing, caring youth and children's program. The worship band provides beautiful, uplifting music, and the pastoral message ties Bible scripture to everyday life in real, relatable ways. Thankful for my new church home!

I will preface this review by saying I hope it doesn't sound too critical because it was overall a…read morepositive worship experience. We attended this church by an invitation of our family members who are regular attendees. Initial impression of atmosphere was pleasant enough, but I felt they were not particularly visitor-friendly since no one spoke to us (in their defense, we were sort of rushing to proceed to find our seats and sit down as the service was already in progress at 10:30 when we arrived). Since this church celebrates Eucharist weekly (well about that, there was no words of institution to speak of, so I felt they were just going through the motion), there were communion elements in plastic containers made available on a table at the entrance to the sanctuary for you to pick them up without any words of explanation--again I thought it was not too visitor-friendly. Good contemporary praise & worship music selections. Service is well-organized and gives an impression of well-polished/rehearsed appearance. Nothing sloppy about this worship service from the beginning to the end--excellent. A children's pastor got up and proceeded to speak quite at length on why only child dedication was permitted and not baptism. I felt very awkward and alienated since we come from a church tradition where children are baptized as infants as our two children are. I didn't understand why they had to go out of their way to alienate a group of believers when the Bible does not explicitly prohibit infant baptism and suggests such practice occurred when the entire household of faith was baptized in to the fellowship of believers. Anyway... I thought pastor's preaching was to the point, and he delivered a very good message on fasting (though I had a question about his illustration of personal experience he used to make the main point). At the conclusion of the service we helped to put away chairs as it was the last service (second) of the day and left. I'd say it was a better than average experience overall. I hope they will make more efforts to better welcome visitors...

We were invited to Evansburg's Easter Egg hunt. The reason why we came was because it had more…read moreactivities involved than just the hunt, which is usually over in 5 minutes. The parking lot is pretty tight, but if you get there early, you should get a good spot. We were greeted immediately by the church staff, who were just delightful. They really made us feel welcome. They helped get us comfortable and offered us doughnuts and coffee. Yum! They ushered us into the main church room and gave us a run down of what was going to happen. They read an Easter Bunny story to the children, then moved them into the activities room. In this room, the children could dye eggs, play games, decorate cookies, guess how many jelly beans in a jar, and more. Once they finished their activities the children were moved back into the church room to do their hunt. It was a fair hunt too. Each child recieved an egg carton and could fill the carton of the same color egg in the carton. It made the game fair and each child recieved 12 eggs. It was great. My daughter left so happy and wanted to go back. We definitely be back next year. Thank you for a great time!

This congregation is absolutely fantastic. The building is tucked slightly into the woods so that,…read moredespite being right on the main road it still has a tucked-away feeling. The sanctuary is beautiful, with windows on three sides, giving you a real sense of the change of seasons. While in the service you can watch the birds chirping behind the minister - or the leaves turning, or the snow falling. The sanctuary isn't temperature controlled too well, but it is enough the it is still quite pleasant. The people are amazing. The very first time I went I was welcomed with warm smiles and conversation. When I was out due to injury for a couple of weeks I had someone email me to ask if everything was okay - and they sent a get-well card! As a single person with no nearby family I was welcomed at the Thanksgiving table of one of the members (who has become a good friend). If you're looking for a welcoming home to feel like family, this is the place for you, regardless of faith, race, age or orientation.

The members of this fellowship are nice folks, and they are very welcoming. I'll second the…read moreprevious post' comments about the opportunity to gaze on nature's beauty through the windows of the sanctuary, but really it's the people that make this place special.
