Pastor Cole was the main reason why we joined this church shortly after visiting. His messages are always applicable and relatable, rooted in the Bible, and always something to take with me through my week. He even makes his sermons and sermon series fun, and he will have us laughing just as much as crying from how touching they are. We gave the Connect Groups (Sunday Schools) a try, and we were welcomed with open arms. We have never really attended Sunday School before, and we not only liked it, we soon grew to love it and our group. We are talking normal, hardworking everyday people with all the hardships that life can throw at us, and it is great to be able to share all that with a group that doesn't judge and focuses on encouragement and gives me strength.
There is active program for someone at any stage of life, and our family has truly grown as Christians and closer together. My husband got baptized and was even allowed to baptized our oldest daughter... we have kids, and we can say something wonderful about the programs for each age. Our baby loves the preschool programs and Mothers Day Out school. We even had a snowball fight in the middle of summer?? Fellowship that is so fun! The youth program always has something going on-- Mission trips, fun activities, and lots of opportunities to help out our church family.
Honestly we had steered clear of churches generally that have "contemporary" services because I can be picky about the music as I really like church hymns (I know, it's weird), but the music is awesome and a great mix between hymns and contemporary Christian praise songs. We just can't write enough positive things about this church and all it's aspects which I can't even cover here.. I have grown so much as a Christian personally during our year of attending this church. Yes! read more
