I am currently not a member of your church, but my father went to Bible College there and I went…read morewith him as a child, often. I learned to love this church, and it was in this church that I really learned to Love the Lord. Unfortunately, even though you are a Bible believing, God preaching church, when it comes to supporting your members, you are sorely lacking. You see, my best friend IS a member of this church, and her mother recently passed away. She is exhausted after the long illness her mother had, and she was the primary caregiver, night and day. What I don't understand, is why, when she reached out to the Women's Pastor for support the only response was "I'll pray for you". What has happened to the church in this day and age? The only person who has offered any kind of support, and even a meal is a neighbor who is NOT a Christian. Come on! We are children of the Most HIgh GOD!! We are supposed to be supporting our fellow Christians! Not just with "I'll pray for you", but how about a meal? How about a cup of coffee? My friend is lonely, she is tired, she is spiritually drained and she is and has been waiting for HER church to reach out to her! If I was able to be there for her in person, I would be at the drop of a hat. But unfortunately all I can do is give her my support night and day via text and phone calls. I love this woman! She has devoted herself to her church, her family and most of all to the Lord. Is it too much to ask for someone who says that they care to actually care? Take her a meal, offer her a moment of your time to chat in person. She is a wonderful woman of the Lord, and she has been dumped on for a long time. Come on Church!! Rise up and support your members, and always keep this at the very top of your mind,,,,,,, What would Jesus do??? Thank you for hearing me.... My friends best friend

The end result is, what I believe, an example of how people can serve a need contextually without losing substance. I suppose coming from a lay person, that should be taken with a grain of salt. But, I've been to mission starts that are awkward, full of random drum solos followed by the blood and body (communion) being randomly passed out and then literally thrown back down on the table. No lie. Moving on... COTA has a coffee hour before the service where people mingle and have some great coffee (each cup is brewed by hand) or chai (a secret recipe of a member) along with treats -- they have a suggested donation if you're able. ....Oh, the coffee and tea alone was worth the trip.... If you want some great drinks at 4:30 pm on Sundays, head down that way- totally worth it even if you don't stay for worship. COTA is housed in an arts facility so there aren't pews involved. Instead, they have folding chairs that aren't uncomfortable as I anticipated. If you have a sensitive bum, there are some couches in the back. The whole service had various members participating, it was a well curated event. Although they didn't have bulletins, I didn't feel lost or overwhelmed since people around me were watching and participating. I could follow their lead. During a time called 'open space' we ventured around the room and outside to participate in various activities that were focused Pentecost. Since there were so many options, some activities/prayers/readings hit home. I enjoyed this time to explore the space (I added pictures to the review) and to once again prepare myself for worship. Since I like to talk about customer service, I'll say that we were greeted and directed as soon as we walked in for coffee hour and by several people in various church capacities once we went upstairs for worship. Great service, great people, working together. It was not only a relaxed experience, but one I hope to repeat very soon.

Before walking though the doors, I heard about St. Luke's homeless programs and that the church lost 90% of its membership around 6 years ago when it moved forward with the Episcopal Church, ordaining and performing marriages of LGBTQ folks-- and has slowly been building its membership back up. From the first moment, I saw that the community is loving, varies in age, curious in their faith, and justice-concerned. They literally whooped in celebration when my partner and I announced our engagement. I really enjoy the succinct, rewarding, affecting sermons--my partner particularly loves the weekly communion and the opportunity to volunteer in the kitchen. They offer breakfast to the homeless from 7-9am Monday through Friday. It's powered largely by the passion for service of elderly parishioners - especially those who don't get bogged down in church politics and simply work to serve the poor.

We witnessed 2 baptisms, sang songs of worship, listen to an amazing sermon and then had communion (3 options, which included gluten free for those that cannot eat gluten).

I have never met more genuine and kind people than I have attending and being involved with Quest. Quest recently moved to the Leary location which was actually the old Mars Hill location. The space is big and can be a bit overwhelming upon arrival but once you're inside the sanctuary, the setting is surprisingly intimate and the flow of the service is nice and manageable. They have a nursery for infants and waddlers and programs for kids as well as for high school and college-aged people. I was in the post-college group for some time and it was a great experience. I can't recommend Quest enough to anyone interested in a church. The church is solidly scripture-based and centered around Jesus. Social justice and reconciliation are key focuses of Quest.
