Joining Granite Unite church has been a blessing for me and my husband. We found Granite 7 years…read moreago but in the last year I made the choice to get more involved. The iCampus at Granite is a blessing and this is where God caught my eyes, my ears and my heart. You might ask, what does it mean? Well Pastor Milas messages are powerful and he teaching right from the Bible. What does the bible say and what are you going to do about it. When they say Granite is a place where friends become family, it is true. I joined the Icampus serving team, got involved in a womens zoom small group and my husband and I also attend the Saturday Salem campus. Pastor Jeff and Tracy are awesome.. Also Pastor RIck and Laura from icampus are amazing, they too attend Salem Saturday. Granite has so many activities that give everyone an opportunity to attend and meeting awesome people. What helped me to get back to my christian faith was the SHINE women's conference. I went by myself and Granite made sure they connected me with other women.. Now I have gone twice to SHINE and looking forward to go again next year with my friends. If you are looking for a church to learn about God and call it home, give Granite United Church a try in person or virtually through icampus. The worship music is always Amazing. Hope you come visit us.

Hi! I am a 25 year old and have attended non denominational churches my entire life. I recently…read moreattended a service at your Granite United location in Haverhill. The major issue I had with the service is the one size fits all, typically mega church, move to have your "main pastor" video screen into the church service. No matter what size church, this type of model always feels out of touch and not personal... that being said, I think the campus pastor who spoke afterwards should be allowed to fully pastor this church, he is warm, friendly and clearly a stronger teacher than the main pastor. Although the main pastor may have a vision and gifting with people, he is cheesy and not much of a teacher, from me and my friends perspective who visited. My advice is let the campus pastors actually pastor and let go of the control! Also, it was way too dark and loud... and trust me I've attended many churches, retreats, conferences. Just a little brighter lights and volume a little down would be much more inviting for new and current attendees. Overall I'm sure the local community loves this church for the people and fellowship, but it's not for a structured or insightful message that's for sure. If you want young people to come to your church you are going to need to step it up. We want to learn in an authentic environment where everyone in the church is operating in their proper gifting. Get rid of the screen Big Brother pastor approach and let the individual churches grow. Won't be attending again, but good luck!

The Star of the Sea Beach Chapel is located on Route 1A Southbound, parallel to the beach/ocean…read more The Beach Chapel has weekend mass during the summer months, generally from May 1 through October 1. Parking is off street and an issue during summer mass. If you think of arriving late to the Chapel, don't plan on it because there will be no place to park. Inside the Chapel, seats can fill quickly, so it is suggested to arrive early enough for a seat. Speaking of the seats/pews, they are not modern and very uncomfortable. The kneeler does not raise up and is bolted to the floor, so it becomes a common tripping hazard. The pews are more or less benches, and very uncomfortable. If you have difficulty kneeling or not comfortable with a small seat, you will be best to stand at the back of the Chapel. One warm days during the summer, the Chapel gets warm as well. There is no air conditioning, other than the ocean breeze. If you see a fan off, turn it on please. This Chapel is located in a good spot, just not enough parking for all the parishioners. Check the church website for the Seasonal and Off season schedule.

Also a handicap accessible ramp with a censored sliding door on the side entrance. Truly a church for all! I wish I could report I was here for good reason, but unfortunately I was here to say goodbye to my best friends father. The service was televised to family members on the west coast (pretty nifty!) The master of ceremonies spoke very clearly, sang to music supplied and acapella. Very impressive.
