We went church shopping 3 years ago when our girls said they were not excited about worship…read moreservices at our prior church. My attitude is that church should support and encourage worship, not turn it into a chore. We shopped a few churches near our home and decided on Christ The Rock. It is a huge church, but that presents so many opportunities to find meaningful connections. Services are at 8:45 and 10:45 on Sunday. Sunday school for pre-K - 5 is at the same time as services, which is a blessing to my wife and me--no distractions. Music is contemporary Christian rock (check out 91.9 FM for a sampling). There are 2-4 songs to start most services, then announcements and a 30-45 minute message. While the message has a strong, Biblical grounding, it is readily applicable to your day-to-day. Let's face it, we can all read the Bible, church is for worship and learning. I am amazed at how well the sermon message applies to my daily life. I tell people that it is God's way of speaking into my life--just in time and just enough. In fact, messages are typically so applicable that it feels like they have been listening to my dinner conversations! Did I mention that my girls can't wait to go to Sunday school? They have really figured out how to make Sunday school fun and engaging. Volunteers are background checked and trained. Security is well thought out but almost seems unnecessary. Check out their website for sermon recordings and more: http://www.christtherock.org

Although, I have been going here since I moved here in August and still feel a bit disconnected - even though I am now a member and have done some of the activities. I think you have to make the effort but the great thing you can come and check out the church without being bombarded! I also love their cafe which is open on other days - not just Sunday! And they have a gym - you do not have to be a member of the church to go.

Appleton Alliance is a wonderful church community! It's grown at a rapid rate and after my first…read morefew visits, I could see why. Worship services are filled with Bible based teaching and modern worship music. The pastors present scripture with discuss how to apply it to your life. If you're looking for a Holy Spirit led church, this church is worth checking out. You can sample podcasts of preaching from the website if interested: http://www.appletonalliance.org/ From the home page you can also "meet" and hear the Senior Pastor's testimony. Dress is mixed, from very casual to more formal. You won't find a church organ here. While I can appreciate the history and tradition of organ music, there's also a reason organ music is played in haunted houses-- it can be too dominant and creepy. Worship is upbeat and people sing together. Scripture and song lyrics are presented on a very large screen at the front and the setting is welcoming and comfortable.

He invited me a few times, and I found the message really hit me at an emotional level, I could really relate. This was probably the most positive experience I've ever had in a church. I appreciate that they aren't looking you up and down based on what you wear, and don't push the plate on me. I enjoy the more casually dressed atmosphere, contemporary music, and the ability to tithe as best as I can and not have judgement cast upon me. I think this will be my regular church :)

Disappointed. My son who is 18 came today to get more involved in a church and to hopefully make…read moresome new friends because we just moved here from California. When we walked in we got to the large foyer that was packed with people but an elderly gentleman instantly realized we appeared lost so he darted over to help. He was incredibly kind and walked us to the 9:45 young adult class. When we arrived there was no one in the room yet so he waited there with us and when a young man and woman approached he asked them if this was the young adult class...they said yup and the elderly man said "This young gentleman is new here so please welcome him"...they just walked in the room without even acknowledging the elderly man or my son. My son then went to the class and afterwards I asked him how it went...He said "Well I was acknowledged one time by the person sitting next to me after she acknowledged the other guy on her left...I think she felt obligated to acknowledge me but other than that no one really cared I was there or not"....They should care. You go to church to feel a sense of belonging. My son has been struggling here and truly needed to find people his age who took the time to welcome him and at least acknowledge him. Your own site says "Our ministry provides community and spiritual development for young adults post high school...we seek to unite around Gods word and the fellowship that we can have together" but you didn't even engage or try to. Take time. You never know when that young adult or any age needs someone to just take the time to acknowledge them and make them feel welcome...instead of having them feel like they don't belong there.
