From the moment I stepped into my first small bible study meeting on a college campus, to my first day worshipping on a Sunday - I felt the kindness and genuineness of the people in this Church. The messages are very biblical (not taken out of context) and there's always a clear application to how it applies to our lives today! People actually share their lives together and grow together. It may be uncomfortable at first if your plan is just want to sit back and observe :) But I understood quickly that this was love and care and concern being shown to one another. This became my family during my time in the Baltimore/Washington area.

Our church is graced with intelligent, insightful, purposeful leaders who are focused on growth and mission. It is truly a second home for us. My personal experience with CMPC has been eye-opening and faith-building. If you are in need of a church community that will help you build your faith and welcome you, look no further.

Preaching from the Bible, amazing interpretation; things I never thought of before. Motivated me to stay the course when I want to give up on something, when I am struggling. Pray 21 is a game-changer too! Made for people of God (what we are all trying to be), not based on our color, but our heart. Don't miss out; there are so many opportunities to learn about God's call on your life; listen for Him and help change your whole world! Do you hear him speaking now....

There's an active and energized kids department, with proactive leaders, teaching the love and principles of Jesus. The 50+ group has fantastic leaders that keep the group extremely active throughout the entire year. Plus there's numerous ministries in between the kids and seniors. If you want to get involved, there's plenty of opportunities to serve and support. But if you need a place heal and rest, just to soak in the presence of God and hear about His love and the gift of salvation through Jesus, you can do that too. I found HCC to be a welcoming, Bible based, church that teaches and stands on the word of God. I'm so glad God brought me back to HCC.

Very disappointed in this church. I was going here for 2 1/2 to 3 years. My husband was in a…read moreserious accident fell through the bathroom floor to the basement. I reached out to the church took them 3 days to get back with me. The preacher said one little prayer on the phone. No one offered to come and see him at the hospital. After I thought I had found a home church. I even told them he was in intensive care and serious condition. And no one cared.. My husband passed away. And I did not feel comfortable with getting this Pastor to do his services. After no one reached out to even check on us to see how things were going. I had to go to a different church and get a different Pastor to do my husband's funeral services. I was so lucky to have found a pastor that really cared. He didn't even know me. But he was more caring and considerate than this Pastor of Heritage community church. It's so sad after being there for 2 1/2 to 3 years. My heart is broken. It's so sad that no one has even reached out to me from my first talk with the pastor. He never reached back out to see how my husband was doing. Even though they knew he was in intensive care and getting worse. No one called to ask how I was either. Very inconsiderate and selfish people. I would give them no stars if I could. Oh, when you go there, they act all nice and wonderful and like they're a loving church. But when you need them and you're suffering and you're in pain. No one shows up. If I hadn't been a Christian for a long time. This would be the kind of thing that would make someone turn against the church forever and against God. But I know better because I know there's other pastors out there and other churches that are out there that really do care. But this one is about the Almighty buck I think. Sad and very disappointed.

Pastor John, is the most perfect Pastor that gets the word of Jesus a crossed so perfectly. He was born for this job and shows it to his congregation every week. He has gotten through to me with his sermons so intensely and has made me a believer that Jesus Christ died for our sins, and will always be there for me, that I will be Baptized on 01/06/2019. A new chapter, a new beginning for me hallelujah. If this post gets a cross to anyone whom should read this, and your looking for a wonderful place to go for church this is the place to go.

Nanny bakes the Eucharist; Pappy helps count money. They always sit in the front row and know exactly when you're supposed to sit or stand. Though my own path has led me away from the Catholic church, I confess I do enjoy coming here for our traditional Christmas Eve service. Sure, part of it's nostalgia; part of it's the Christmas carols. But I also love how different this parish is -- no massive stainglass windows or gothic stone structure (though those are certainly beautiful!); this church is so modest and approachable. Jesus' statue is art deco. The priest homily opens with a joke delivered with stand up comedic ease. The choir is 4-part harmony and always does a nice job; plus they mix in drums, violins, oboe, and flute along with piano in the arrangements. A particularly warm and inviting place for folks to celebrate their faith.
