We went church shopping 3 years ago when our girls said they were not excited about worship…read moreservices at our prior church. My attitude is that church should support and encourage worship, not turn it into a chore. We shopped a few churches near our home and decided on Christ The Rock. It is a huge church, but that presents so many opportunities to find meaningful connections. Services are at 8:45 and 10:45 on Sunday. Sunday school for pre-K - 5 is at the same time as services, which is a blessing to my wife and me--no distractions. Music is contemporary Christian rock (check out 91.9 FM for a sampling). There are 2-4 songs to start most services, then announcements and a 30-45 minute message. While the message has a strong, Biblical grounding, it is readily applicable to your day-to-day. Let's face it, we can all read the Bible, church is for worship and learning. I am amazed at how well the sermon message applies to my daily life. I tell people that it is God's way of speaking into my life--just in time and just enough. In fact, messages are typically so applicable that it feels like they have been listening to my dinner conversations! Did I mention that my girls can't wait to go to Sunday school? They have really figured out how to make Sunday school fun and engaging. Volunteers are background checked and trained. Security is well thought out but almost seems unnecessary. Check out their website for sermon recordings and more: http://www.christtherock.org

Awesome church…read more Awesome Children's program! Although, I have been going here since I moved here in August and still feel a bit disconnected - even though I am now a member and have done some of the activities. I think you have to make the effort but the great thing you can come and check out the church without being bombarded! I also love their cafe which is open on other days - not just Sunday! And they have a gym - you do not have to be a member of the church to go.

Appleton Alliance is a wonderful church community! It's grown at a rapid rate and after my first…read morefew visits, I could see why. Worship services are filled with Bible based teaching and modern worship music. The pastors present scripture with discuss how to apply it to your life. If you're looking for a Holy Spirit led church, this church is worth checking out. You can sample podcasts of preaching from the website if interested: http://www.appletonalliance.org/ From the home page you can also "meet" and hear the Senior Pastor's testimony. Dress is mixed, from very casual to more formal. You won't find a church organ here. While I can appreciate the history and tradition of organ music, there's also a reason organ music is played in haunted houses-- it can be too dominant and creepy. Worship is upbeat and people sing together. Scripture and song lyrics are presented on a very large screen at the front and the setting is welcoming and comfortable.

He invited me a few times, and I found the message really hit me at an emotional level, I could really relate. This was probably the most positive experience I've ever had in a church. I appreciate that they aren't looking you up and down based on what you wear, and don't push the plate on me. I enjoy the more casually dressed atmosphere, contemporary music, and the ability to tithe as best as I can and not have judgement cast upon me. I think this will be my regular church :)
