They offer this "VIP Experience" for first time visitors where you truly feel like they are happy you have chosen to attend. We were walked through the children's area where we checked in our daughter. What I loved initially was that there is a system in place to ensure no one can just come in and take a child without having a numbered pass that matches the name tag given to the parent. They went a step further and provided my child with a name tag showing the other kids that it was her first time so that she could feel welcomed and truly have a great first time visit. The service was absolutely great and the pastors sense of humor and incorporation of jokes was a breath of fresh air compared to more traditional churches I have attended in the past; not to mention the worship band was absolutely amazing! At the end of the services, we all received a welcome gift, to include one for my child and we were introduced to the campus pastor and his wife. You can tell that this is such a loving environment to be a part of and it just may very well become our home church

(I just don't feel "right" judging a church service. The congregation wore anything from traditional "church attire" to blue jeans, with some even in shorts and tshirts. It was a casual atmosphere. There are no hymnals, all songs are projected onto the wall near the pulpit. There didn't seem to be a choir, but there was a contemporary band to accompany the songs. Women were leading the hymns and singing portion of the service. This is not to judge the service, again, just an overview of the service. Worship is a personal experience and not everyone likes to worship the same. I like the casual dressing and atmosphere, where some people do not. It was a pleasant experience and worth a visit if you are looking for a church home.

You will laugh, be convicted, and strengthened all at the same time! They have different classes downstairs for your kids to attend while you worship in the main worship area upstairs free from distractions that kids can definitely cause! Lol! The classes range from infant to kindergarten age. They have a easy sign in process for the kids at a little laptop which after entering your kids info, it'll print out stickers where one you'll stick on your child that identifies their name, age, and class and the other sticker is identical that will go to the teacher. You also get 2 other stickers that you must show when picking up your kids, which keeps the safety for your kids so some random person can't take off with your kid(s). The worship is refreshing and they sing a lot of contemporary Christian songs that is easy to sing along to, and they also have projector screens that show the words just in case someone doesn't know. It's a multicultural church and they are big into mission work. I could go on and on but overall it's a wonderful church to be a part of!

The way people dress is more church best but I did see some business casual with polos and jeans. The message: Pastor Ryan was not afraid to talk about taboo topics that would get you "cancelled" for having a different opinion. The message was more academic and having a list of how you know that the Bible is the truth. Worship: music had a nice mix of traditional hymnals with a rock beat behind it. The only song I knew was "Firm Foundation." The congregation is more traditional with just singing along rather than movement or dance along with the singing but some people were lifting their hands.
