I've been part of this church community for the past three years and have appreciated many aspects…read moreof it: warm people, thoughtful teaching, and a focus on relationships. However, I recently learned that the church holds non-affirming views regarding LGBTQ+ identities and relationships. This was not made clear on the website or in any public-facing materials, which made the discovery especially painful. I witnessed others be hurt by what feels like a bait-and-switch, entering a space that seems welcoming only to later find out they are not fully accepted. Transparency matters and clarity is kindness. While churches are entitled to their theological positions, I believe it is important, out of respect for those seeking a safe and welcoming spiritual home, to clearly communicate those beliefs upfront. That way, people can make informed decisions about whether this is a place where they will be fully accepted and supported. This experience has been disappointing but a great learning opportunity. The pastors did make an effort to talk to me and followed up with some sermons about the matter which I have linked below. Personally, it felt like they were more concerned about avoiding the "homophobic" label than about owning the real harm religion has caused LGBTQ+ folks but that's neither here or there; take a listen and consider the theology for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93qb9GjVFzA and a sermon made a few weeks after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_09mZrx447s

I can see its earnest desire to do their best and lead the church with integrity through a challenging year.

I would encourage anyone looking for a fresh expression of growing in their faith to explore Kalos online and/or in person as they begin meeting in person starting in January 2021.

Love the worship, vibrancy, and energy of the church. The leadership is modern so it won't feel like a multigenerational church, but they have an anointing and covering in the teaching that is convicting and powerful. Convicting and powerful are the two best words I can use to describe my experience here. The teaching is rooted in scripture and I think really highly of this young church :) I was really impressed and deeply moved.

The whole church was beautifully decorated for the season. There were two official photo stations for families, but honestly, you could take a picture anywhere and still get great Christmas vibes. There was a huge Christmas tree in the center of the lobby and giant nutcracker statues by the entrance--super festive. They also had several drink stations with coffee, tea, hot cocoa, apple cider, plus cookies for everyone to enjoy. The service itself was wonderful. The message really focused on the heart of Christmas and our Savior, Jesus. At the end, we lit our candles and worshipped together with classic Christmas songs, remembering God's love and grace. Our whole family loved it and had such a meaningful time worshipping together.

AWARD FOR MOST PENITENT 3 1/2 stars would be more accurate…read more I attended Rain City Church while it was still meeting at Odle Middle School a few years back. I received a flyer in the mail promoting a series of upcoming sermons promoting a theme of reconciliation, in which this church apologized for historical sins commonly committed by Christians in general against non-Christians (and even other Christians), not necessarily just by members of this congregation. I thought this was a breath of fresh air! Included among the topics were it's apologies for homophobia, sexism, racism, bible-thumping, "our church is the one true church", etc.. THE NICE THINGS The pastor's sermons were very lively and uplifting! They were also full of humor(probably an understatement!), which I like. Also, the people there were friendly and the family-friendly atmosphere was very informal, which I also like. And if I remember right, they even had a special play area for kids. They also had yummy snacks to eat after church was over, which I also liked! BUT THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD They played "Christian rock music", which is OK with me, but it was WAY TOO LOUD! I told members, including the pastor, about that, but they just did not understand that the number of decibels they crank up their music is enough to damage people's hearing over time. Needless to say, almost all of the adults were in their 20s or 30s. I pray they lower the volume at least for their kids sake. THE OVERLOOKED "800 POUND GORILLA" Regarding the reconciliation theme of their sermons,they missed the "800 pound gorilla in the room", namely the teaching of eternal hell, which was historically used to frighten people into becoming Christians. Although none of the sermons I attended tried to scare people with the threat of hell, they did have at least one free book out on their literature table promoting that teaching. It is not an exaggeration to say that this doctrine of "eternal hell" can and does traumatize people for life. People have been known to be committed to psychiatric institutions because of it! I told the pastor about this. Although he was genial about it, apparently this policy will not change either. IN CONCLUSION Nevertheless, I must give this congregation serious kudos for apologizing for many of the historical sins of Christianity(though unfortunately, hell was not one of them) in a way that I have never witnessed any other congregation (or denomination) do, which was very open and forthright! If it were not for the excessively loud music and the "800 pound gorilla", I might well have continued to attend this church. In any case, those were the only two things that prevented me from giving them a five star rating.

Westminster is a scripture based, friendly, non-denominational church group. It's a fairly large…read morechurch, but in many ways it has a 'small-church' feel. Some of my favorite things about Westminster are: - Sermons usually contain a lot of application that leads from scripture to how we can practically strengthen our relationship with Christ. A recent sermon series went through the whole book of Joshua, for example, but didn't just stick to the history; along the way addressed the 'giants' in our lives (doubt, fear, past sin, etc), and showed a scriptural framework in which to start confronting them. - Spiritual growth is rightly treated as a process that keeps going throughout our lives. Both individual growth in Christ, and corporate growth as a church, are emphasized. Nor is this lip-service only; I have seen Westminster grow greatly as a local expression of the body of Christ over the years. - Westminster is perhaps the most inter-generational church I have gone to. This is not just 'all-ages' attending, but that there is interaction between the generations in classes, volunteering, etc. There are grow-groups and classes where people can either fellowship with their own age/life-stage, study a topic of mutual interest, or discuss a sermon - but these groups are not isolated from the rest of the church body. - There is genuine fellowship, often around study or service, vs. just self-entertainment. - It is very easy to find a place to serve!
