I have been going to this church for about a year now. I am not a member yet, but I am very…read morecomfortable worshiping in this house of God. I have had very bad experiences with churches in the past. They were either too stuffy, awkward, or not accepting of new members. The Gathering was perfect for me. It was warm and inviting, but not too "in my face". They let me slowly warm up to them and they accepted me in with open arms. Matt is the most animated Pastor I have ever met, I look forward to shaking his hand on my way out. He is passionate about what he does and what be believes in. I could go on and on, but I will end with this...try stopping in for an evening worship. I did, and I haven't looked back since. :)

We were planning to be in St Louis for a couple of days and my wife wanted to see the Cathedral…read moreBasilica of St Louis. We arrived shortly after noon - during the 12:05 daily mass. So, we went downstairs to the Mosaic Museum which was quite interesting. It has numerous displays illustrating how the mosaics were done and offering details on the architecture and construction of the basilica. When we got back upstairs, there was a guided tour just ready to depart. We joined the tour which was being led by an excellent tour guide. The lady leading the tour was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the cathedral. She explained the significance of the various mosaics and their thematic content. The tour lasted about an hour and I would highly recommend taking the guided tour. This is definitely a must-see site if you're in St Louis.

The Cathedral Basilica is hands down one of the BEST hidden gems in STL!!

From the moment I walked in the cathedral I was blown away by the design of the interiors, which is completely covered by mosaic tiles. I've taken the guided tour twice while going and the tour was really insightful in learning more about the history and construction of the cathedral. The tour guides that I've had both times were really knowledgeable about everything dealing with the construction of the Basilica as well as its history as a catholic church. They provide several tours per day, usually when mass is not going on, and they typically last 1-2 hours. There is also a free museum downstairs that discusses the history and construction of the cathedral. The museum is not as mind-blowing as the cathedral itself but it is informative.

The love of Christ is so evident, and there is a strong passion to disciple those in the faith, and witness to those who do not believe!

Prayer is paramount, small groups are alive and active, and their ministry with young adults, students, and kids is amazing!

We have attended this excellent church for about five years now. First, let me give you the…read morebasics. The church has about 1500 attendees spread across five Sunday services at two locations (there is one service at a site in Chesterfield). As of this writing, there are four Sunday services at the Clayton location, at 8:15, 9:45, 11:15, and 5:00. At any service you will hear (and sing) old and new music, however the 8:15 and 9:45 services are most traditional, with mostly hymns sung to an organ. The other two services feature guitars, piano, violin, etc., and sing modern songs more often. The 11:15 service is significantly more liturgical that the 5:00 service, and maybe even more than the other morning services. This church is definitely focused first and foremost on teaching. Sermons are exegetical and usually about half an hour long (and can be listened to on the church website, centralpres.com. They also have a sermon archive stretching back into the 1980's now!) The current senior pastor is a former professor of New Testament studies at Covenant Seminary and is the author of several books, and host of some video series' as well. During most of the year, the church does a big meal and classes on Wednesday nights. There is also Sunday School, of course. The other great strength of the church is in music. Concerts are regularly performed by the choir or other musicians in the church, and attendance for the Christmas concert literally overflows the pews. The church is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination, which means that it is theologically reformed and relatively conservative. I know that word means different things to different people, so I'm always hesitant to use it - but if you want to know more, check out the denomination website at epc.org.

I hadn't been to a church in 5 years when I showed up to The Journey. I was afraid that I wouldn't…read morefeel welcome, that the church would be "cliquey," and that I would be offended by the message. Immediately after sitting down, I realized that I was in the right place. I felt so touched and inspired, and encouraged to explore my spirituality and connection to God beyond the confines of a Sunday morning. As Christian churches go, they have their religious tenants that tend to put them in the "conservative" camp, but as far as churches go, I do believe that this one is fairly progressive and accepting. Things to expect: messages concretely tied into real life, excellently performed contemporary music - some of it original, overhead presentation of what's occurring on the main stage so everyone can see, occasional use of videotaped messages when the pastor is traveling, coffee before the service and donuts after, and kind people all around.

I can't say enough about Pastor Darrin Patrick... I'm your typical "raised in the church" girl and…read moreI've grown so much and met some of the best friends I've ever made here. Darrin's not afraid to give it to you straight, though - so just know that going into it. I'm not saying he's all hellfire and damnation, he's just honest - Christians are spending more time and money shopping for and buying "Christian merchandise" than they are building up their communities and making the world a better place. We've side-stepped our responsibilities and turned our faith into a self-help practice. If you are ready to be challenged, or you're looking for a church that welcomes questions and investigation about what Christianity really is, was and should be... I dare you to come. 9am and 11:15 Sunday services at Tower Grove. They have other campuses too - www.journeyon.net. You can also check out Darrin's latest sermon at the website.
