I have been attending since November 2013. The pastor is kind, funny, and humble. I like the…read moresermons and how they always give out a lesson papers for the topic of that day and for notes. I like how they have lots of bible studies and fellowship options that can fit our busy schedules. This church teaches biblical truths. They focus on teaching us to Look (for ways to honor God), Love (Everyone God put in our path) , Live (For His purpose and will for us), and Lead (others to holiness in Christ). And I was drawn here the most because of the fact that they have areas for kids to grow in the Lord too. Lots of ministries for all ages. I got saved in October 3rd 2013 in my home. I wasn't attending church or reading the bible. I did not know the Lord or followed anything in the bible. The Lord came to me one night and revealed many things to me about who He is and what he knows about me. It was a very supernatural experience that can only be understood by those who have experienced stuff like that themselves or are open to know the wonders of what's really out there (the spiritual world). I grew up in a catholic back round. So when I got saved I was exploring where exactly God's Spirit was guiding me. I was so excited to find out all about Jesus and how I can make the best of the second chance he had given me. I really didn't want to put myself in a religious category. I just knew what God, my heavenly Father revealed to me. Jesus is the one true God and the Holy Spirit is definitely real and living inside of me. And so the Lord began to help me narrow it down to what I needed to study to learn more about Him. The Lord was teaching me His Word thru His Spirit with no book or anyone influencing me the first weeks of my new beginning. God calls people and renews their mind body and souls. And sometimes people that go to church get called there. Other times people have near death experiences and the Lord speaks to them thru those circumstances. My experience was out of the blue one night at 2am with a dream of the spiritual realm and God telling me that I needed to change. The day I was saved God revealed himself to me and I actually FELT His Spirit in my room and He was speaking truth and wisdom and there was a lot of conviction. My mind was being renewed and I am just a completely different person with no more vices and better relationships. But its hard to put all the details on this review. I found this church because I asked God to lead me to where I can grow and learn. And he reminded me that wherever I go to learn His word to make sure its kid friendly where they can learn and be exposed to God's love thru the people that teach them His word. The women's bible studies has helped me surround myself with women of God that have a lot of experience with God's Word and testimonies that strengthened me and inspired me. I am an active volunteer in the kids ministry because I feel its so important to help our youth towards the right path. It starts when your young and I believe I wouldn't have made so many mistakes if I had a strong support system like the one they offer here. So I like it here and I am still growing spiritually. ****IMPORTANT: It is important that if anyone is looking for a church they find one that is in accord with the bible. There is no such thing as a perfect church. There are many church hoppers that never find what they are looking for. I can see how it can be hard. But prayer is the most important way to find God's direction for you. The devil will always give you reasons and point out imperfections to stir you away from church. I pray fervently for my church. And there are lots of churches that are amazing and teach God's Word just as good as this one. When I don't like something or am not sure about something I pray about it and God does something about it and never lets me down. For people new with the church scene, don't get discouraged. My husband is not social and doesn't like to be around too many people but God has opened his heart to be just a little more open with others and I have seen so much change in Him. Prayer and God's faithfulness is the answer. Church is where you go to worship together as a whole group. To connect with others and be inspired by testimonies like healing, restoration, salvation. God speaks to you thru sermons and convicts you of things you need to change. You get to see God in action and surround yourself with people that really love the Lord. Learning God's Word and putting it into action is what we do after church. And no matter what church we attend if we are just listening and not seeking ways to change our community with God's truth and values there is no impact or effect. Our pastor always says, information without application is just entertainment. My church has helped me find and seek ways to make a difference and go where I am needed. I help in the nursery, girls ministry, senior home ministry, and still on the hunt for more.

Unfortunately, under the leadership of the new pastor, the church has changed dramatically. What is most troubling is that the focus no longer seems to be on following Jesus and His teachings, but rather on following and supporting the pastor. The culture has become increasingly centered around one individual and, in my experience, has begun to feel more like a cult of personality than a Christian community. After almost two decades of being part of this church, it is deeply disappointing to see what it has become. A church should encourage people to grow in their faith, ask questions, and follow Christ--not demand unquestioning loyalty to its pastor.
