After visiting a few churches and both coming from Christian families we immediately felt home here at Keystone. Lot of people concentrate on what they don't like in a review. Let's concentrate on what we like.
They have 3 experiences on Sunday morning, 9am, 10:25am and 11:45am and each ones offers a full service children's ministry, which is awesome for our family. The children's ministry leaders and volunteers really care about and love the children.
They also offer one on one volunteers to be with special needs children and teens so that the parents can really be involved in the experience.
They have greeters who really want to greet you. They aren't pushy, at all. They wish you a hearty good morning and pay special attention to your children, making them fee comfortable and welcome.
They use great technology to speed up the check in process and they have protocols in place to keep children safe. Parents must check children in AND out. )I remember years ago I was visiting a church and one of my children escaped and was found wondering the parking lot - that can't happen at this church because they have plenty of staff and a closed off area for children).
There is a good cultural mix at this church and they even offer sign language interpretation at some services (10:25 service, for sure).
They have a great Worship time where I feel that many people really connect with The Lord through Worship, followed by a sermon that is always relevant to your life. The sermon is also filled with great technology that will keep you connected and interested. You will always leave more inspired than when you arrived.
I love that they don't have midweek experiences or even Sunday school. Instead, they put a lot of effort in small groups that meet all throughout the week and all around the Saline, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Milan area. This is where the rubber meets the road, where people really dive into the Word, but more importantly, where people connect with people. The people in these smaller circles are the ones who take care of each other when needs arise.
There is so much more that I could write about, but then it becomes more of an article than a review. If you are looking for a church home, visit Keystone. You won't regret it and it won't be time wasted. read more
