As a first timer as well as an out-of- state visitor in the MidWest, attending mass here was a deeply enriching experience enhanced by the reverent ambiance, the interior/exterior cleanliness, and the warmth of the community. I also admired the beauty of the sacred music that filled the walls of their worship space! I am just in awe of how beautiful the stained glass windows were, in addition to the intricate details that added to the sense of sacredness, making it a haven for spiritual reflection and worship.

I am biased to this parish because I grew up here, but after living in different cities across the…read morecountry, I have come to appreciate everything about Holy Trinity more and more. The community here is unmatched. There are so many programs for every age and interest. The youth programs have evolved and grown so much over the past 10 years. Life Teen is an amazing resource for any high schooler. I went through the program when I was in high school and I can honestly say it helped form and shape who I am as a person today. Since then they've added a middle school ministry and built an entire building (Quigley center) dedicated to youth and young adults. There isn't a college ministry, but there are small groups that meet that you can join. There are adult faith sharing groups as well.

Life Church was a great addition to the area. Pastor Heather Van Wormer is super sweet, with a big…read moreheart and open door to help others. The campus is large with several meeting rooms and offices. The entrance area is inviting, with warm smiles and piping hot coffee awaiting you. The staff are always welcoming and are quick to answer questions. There are Life groups available with a variety of ways people can become involved and engaged. We love Life Kids which is tailored just for the younger kids. While the Life "Switch" group is available just for high school age kids. Every age feels included and meets them at their level. The Sunday church service includes 3 service times (8:30, 10 and 11:30am). All include awesome kids care. The services begin with a mix of traditional and contemporary music. Then worship service begins with a variety of amazing topics that are relatable and relevant for life today. Over this church could be described as welcoming and non-judgmental, with a special place for everyone.

Recently I met a devoted couple who travel 47 miles each way to attend the Latin Mass on Sunday evenings. The Church is the Mystical body of Christ where we can grow spiritually by attending classes taught by Fr.Kendall. Our Advent class is about the Prophet Elijah known as the "man of God" who with Jesus and Moses was part of the Transfiguration. The Mystical teachings about the lives of Saints, Prophets and Martyrs help us to grow in holiness and LOVE of God (Father Son and Holy Ghost.) Call the parish office for more information.

The St. John Catholic Club is like stepping back in time and finding yourself in a hidden treasure…read more Yes, it is part of the church and is used for church-oriented events, but it's also able to be rented out for whatever situation you think you want to have and believe me, what you want to do you can do it in glorious fashion. In my situation, a friend decided to rent the club for a New Year's Eve celebration, which went smashingly. The club itself is stuck in the 1970s. You walk in the door to old church league posters, trophy / plaque winners, etc... After walking through a small hallway you find yourself in a mini bar complete with wood panel walls, old neon, fold out tables and chairs. There are a couple of tvs in the corners that you could tune to whatever your heart is set on and a decent system that can pipe in some tunes. We chose to listen to an old classic rock radio station because it seemed to go with the theme. The club does offer some small bar snack-type food for sale, but does allow and recommends that you bring whatever food that you want to serve. Also of note, he club's liquor license allows it to sell beer (they had a decent selection, Bud, Coors, Boulevard, Heineken and some obscure Bosnian beers because the church is an old Bosnian church,) however since they're not allowed to sell hard liquor they did allow us to bring it in. The crown jewel of the club though has to be once you're inside and you look to your left... there's a six lane bowling alley. Yes, you read that correctly. We basically transported ourselves into an old 1970s bar and bowling alley and since we rented the hall we could play unlimited games. Feel free to let all the Lebowski quotes fly because we did and I/we would willingly do so again. The St. John's Catholic Club is a perfect small event space for your celebration needs and I simply cannot sing its praises loud enough.

We moved our child over to Grace Baptist Daycare in June 2020. He is in the 1yr old class. We could…read morenot be more pleased with this daycare. Daniel's old Church daycare in Independence was a far cry from the care he receives at Grace Baptist Daycare. He comes home cleaner and the classrooms and daycare itself are so much cleaner. He has also been much healthier over the last two months, which I attribute to the care and cleanliness of this new daycare. Daniel is learning so much more and developing motor skills more quickly at Grace Baptist Daycare. He now gets outside time with his classmates (something the old daycare never did). In the past two months he has learned how to climb and do slides all by himself. This is such a wonderful development and can only be attributed to our new daycare and the activities they allow the children to do. He also gets coloring/painting/crafts time at Grace Baptist Daycare. This is something they didn't allow at the old one for children his age. He loves coloring and I could not be more pleased at all his new developments. The old daycare (although a church daycare) did not pray before meals (or at all) to our knowledge. We love the Lord Jesus and it soothes my heart to know he is being exposed to prayer and Bible stories during the day. He even put his hands together a few weeks ago during a prayer at home and I know he only learned this recently because of the habits he is forming from Grace Baptist Daycare. The teachers and Daycare supervisor (Michelle) are so much kinder and happier than our last daycare. They seem to be filled with true joy and genuinely do care about the children. Grace Baptist Daycare has been such a blessing to our family. Thank you for all you do, we appreciate you all so very much.
