Still growing church with plenty of opportunities for people to help out, including children's and youth ministry. Come as you are! No formal membership requirement. Presently (Sep. 2022) meeting at John Kerr Elementary School. Participants encouraged to be involved in small groups which are available. Note--5 star rating does not mean this church or anyone involved is perfect! If you are perfect yourself, or want a perfect church, you will be disappointed with this church which only has imperfect humans who attend! If you find a perfect church, you may not want to go to it and ruin it!

How unfortunate.

My bride and myself were all about finding a non-denominational church that taught the truth from God's Word and someone suggested we go ahead and try FBC. We got directions and found our way here. Some of the folks seemed a little distant at first, but they warmed up in a hurry. The praise was uplifting and the preaching wasn't a droning monotonous beating upside the head. Grace and love, for the most part, were shown in abundance here. Pastor Mark is the epitome of telling it like it is without watering the message down and at the same time, knowing who he's teaching. It broke our hearts to have to leave when we moved to NC.

We attended ALC for 3 years. Up until May of this year, I would have told you that it's a wonderful…read morechurch with caring leadership. Our entire family was volunteering weekly, I was doing the lesson planning for a class in kid's church, volunteered at church events, etc. Unfortunately, I quickly found out what type of people are actually running ALC. The pastor's wife stalked my Facebook page and didn't care for a church politics post and immediately started stirring up trouble. I got an email stating 'effective immediately' I was no longer allowed to volunteer until I had a meeting with the pastor. She also thought it was a grand idea for her and her sidekick to block me on Facebook and then she approached my daughter at youth group. What kind of pastor's wife blocks people on Facebook and then approaches their kid at a church function? Not only that, but they went as far as to tell our life group leaders not to allow us back in life group because we're negative and they don't need negative in their group. What was the church politics post about that stirred up so much trouble? It was about how volunteers pour their heart and souls into ministry, only to be tossed aside when yet another pastor's wife is hired to replace a volunteer. I read an article that was talking about building a family kingdom or a kingdom for God, and unfortunately this church is building a kingdom for their family. And when the pastor's wife feels threatened in the slightest, they will block you and shun you from the church. Granted, the pastor seemed to genuinely want to meet and discuss the post, but why would anyone want to step back into a church where the pastor's wife stirred up so much trouble and you're hearing from other members about the way the post stirred up trouble. And last, but definitely not least, the post that got me shunned from ALC: You know what I don't like? Church politics. It's in every church, creeps around, and eventually a pattern is noticed. Every church we've been to, or heard about, plays the game. Every church has a mission and plays the politics to get there. Unfortunately, when you or someone you know gets caught in the crosshairs of those politics, you begin to look at the church differently. Do you ever wonder why people stop going to church? I don't. Most people don't want to play the game. They want to go get the message and go home. A few will decide to volunteer here or there until they catch wind of underlying politics and then leave. Others make it years, for the love of ministry runs deep and it pleases them...but eventually, they feel the politics too. It seems no one can really escape it, except for the select few in the inner circles. And for those that make it years, those church politics deliver a devastating blow. Church and politics don't mix. Never have and never will. People will always get hurt in the end and that is NOT what we should be aiming for as a church. It shouldn't be about who you know, it shouldn't be about who you're related to, it shouldn't be about anything other than God and HIS mission. It breaks my heart for those in the crossfire, I've been there and hate to see others there. We need to pray for our churches and their direction, we need to get out of the mega church mindset and go back to knowing the congregation, their struggles, and their needs.

I visited you church this Palm Sunday (4/17/2011) and I would like to share my experience with you…read more Sometime last week I heard about your church on WTRM and I was interested in the comment that this church was being started for people who had been "hurt" by the "church". In that broadcast I thought I heard that your church started at 10:00 AM. I found your Web Site by looing for "The Church in the Alamo Theater, Winchester, VA. I looked all over your site and I could not find anything that indicated your start time. I also could not find a place to make comments or ask questions. There was a lot of personal information what you were trying to do and why you were trying to do it but nothing that would help a visitor. So I showed up at your church at 9:50 AM this Sunday. I went into the lobby and a lot of people were standing around but nobody said a word to me. Some were eating donuts, some were drinking coffee, some were talking to each other but nobody was talking to a stranger who was just wandering around the lobby. I finally asked a theater employee if this was the place where the church was located and she told me it was in theater 5. I went to theater 5 and on my way again nobody said a word to me. I walked into the theater and saw that someone was preaching on the theater screen and it appeared that he was about ready to finish his message. I stood at the end of the entrance walkway right next to two guys but they did not say a word to me. I finally decided to go ahead and seat myself but by then the message was over. They played a song and then they passed the collection "bucket" around. As it turns out the two guys standing next to me when I came in were the "money takers". After paying my admission fee they announced that they some need volunteers to put signs in their yard and around town advertising the new church. then the service ended. As I left nobody said a word to me. In summary, I came to this church because I have been hurt by other churches and now I can add another church to my list. I do not provide you with this feedback with any kind of malace in my heart but in the hopes that the next time someone wanders off the street and into your "church" someone hopefully has some time to welcome and assist a stranger trying to find his way.
