I was greeted by a young woman named Anatolia who was pretty disparaging against Muslim folks and I overheard others saying rude things about other groups. I prefer a church to follow Christ's covenant and not compete or belittle other religions. Christ taught us to love, so I wish the best for them but it is not for me.

Pastors John and Elaine Orlando are so welcoming and loving and are such gifted speakers/preachers. The church used to be located near downtown Hackensack near the middle school, but this location is so much better. They transformed the upstairs of this office building into a gorgeous sanctuary. They have signs out front on Sunday so you will know where to park. Enter through the front door and go up the stairs or take the elevator. Once upstairs, there are rooms for infants and babies (childcare or where parents can go), a room for young kids, a kids ministry section for children through 5th grade, and a teen church area. At the end is the main worship room. The entire church wing is clean and beautifully painted and decorated. There's a waiting area out front as well. I love seeing all the people who attend each week -- from young families to singles to couples and the elderly. All the church staff is welcoming and friendly. They don't bombard you with questions or pressure you to keep coming. They just welcome you and offer you prayer or kind conversation. And if you have a talent to share, they welcome you to play an instrument or assist with church duties upon proper training. Worship begins with song and then a powerful message from Pastor John. He is a talented preacher, and you will be laughing and crying and feeling the Word of God. He's so funny and kind. My child enjoys the kids church and the young adults who lead that service, and my husband and I look forward to Sunday service! We used to go to Catholic Churches, but we really enjoy the family/community feel of this church and the message preached each week. It's truly life changing. They have communion once a month and family night on Wednesdays. Service is each Sunday starting at 11.

The priests here were very supportive when my family was having a rough time, so for that I'll always be grateful.. even if one of the priests did forget my brother's name during a really awkward moment. hah Their music is okay. They usually have a cantor, a pianist/organist, and sometimes other instrumentalists. To be honest I feel like the musicians don't always sync up. I think that some of the musicians are volunteers first, musicians second. They do have some groups come in to sing that have been very good, but for the most part the morning masses don't jive with me as much as my old church. I'm more into band music at mass now and they're more on the traditional side. Parking can be a bit of a problem if you're running late and if you're coming in just as mass is starting, head in through the side door near the parking lot so you don't have a run in with priest at the front door!
