The children's ministry is awesome and my son's absolutely love Sundays! They get so excited to go to church and that warms my heart. I love hearing Pastor Sam preach. You can tell he really loves Jesus and it means even more to me that he reads the Bible verse by verse every Sunday and shares the word of God with us. When they do worship, Pastor Sam has written some songs of his own, and he enjoys singing them during worship service, which I think is pretty cool. Although I absolutely love when he does other songs as well like yesterday, when he did a Phil Wickham song! Phil Wickham is my favorite and I felt like when he chose that song, God was using Pastor Sam to speak to me through that song during worship. Overall, it's a very welcoming church and they have made me feel like family. I was skeptical at first because my oldest son is five years old and is on the spectrum of autism. Not everybody is kind and welcoming to that but we have never had any issues since we started going there! My son tells me how much he loves it and how everyone is so kind which makes my heart so happy. They truly are showing the love of Jesus Christ at this church! I also enjoy that they don't make tithing the main focus like a lot of churches do. The main focus every time we walk in is Jesus Christ, His salvation, His love and His Word!

All I can say is be very careful of wolves in sheep clothing! Pastor Sam gives a pretty good…read moresermon but one clue I should have picked up on is the amount of pastors they have. Even security pastors...it was strange. I donated over $1000 to the church and was never sent a receipt and I confided to the pastors about abuse and they just told me to read my Bible. My children were bullied so bad in the children's ministry and one was told to go to a temple as he said his background is Jewish. To say it nicely, this church scared 2 out of 4 of my children away from wanting to become Christian and I understand why!
