    Very warm and welcoming. The worship was touching and engaging as a collective and personal. The message was much needed and the Pastor delivery was good. If I don't remember anything else... "God breath on me" and The Holy Spirit wants to loves on me... Genesis 1:4 is what I will be meditating on this week. GOD is good and His presence is in the FFC

    Such awesome diverse, fun, loving church. My family has gone for two weeks in a row now. There are so many positive, welcoming, and respectful members at Faith and Family. We love the atmosphere and we will be coming again this next Sunday.

    My family's home Church, unbelievable kids area. Culturally diverse congregation, awesome welcoming team (they won't bother you if you just want to check it out). They always have something going on, their VBS this summer was like none I have ever seen, and VERY secure! Pastor Rick is a supremely intelligent man, and I LOVE hearing his sermons, as well as all associate pastors. The worship service is like being at a concert! Coffee shop, book store; very comfortable place to be, feels like home walking in. Come check it out!

    Great church! Highly suggest anyone attend if you are the type where you feel uncomfortable or uneasy during "normal" church. Pastor Rick is not your "normal" pastor (I mean it all in the best ways too). He is extraordinary! He really engages you during service. He makes the message feel more like a relaxed conversation. Music and worship too! The children's church is beyond words. Themed rooms, security, and exceptional staff. Don't let a second more go by in your faith and head to Faith Family Church.

    Always pleasant. The worship experience, sermons, greeters, etc. We have a home church but the family and I stop by on special occasions every blue moon if we see something being advertised that the church is presenting. Been in fellowship with FFC over 17 yrs now . In fact, long before my wife and I became parents. We use to stay down the street and around the corner. So we/I would stop by some sundays, etc before our own church service. But I will never forget those Wednesday night prayer meetings years ago. There Wouldnt be as many folks as you thought would be in attendance. BUT The presence of the Lord would move...I still testify till this day about something that occurred one prayer meeting my wife decided to come with me...It changed her life/ our lives. Warren on the keys is a cool dude we go back some years now. Well, didn't mean to write a book. Keep up the good work serving the Lord and the community.

    We just moved here to Scott Air Force Base. We have been looking for a church where both my husband and myself can really grow and mature in God. I was apprehensive and a little against joining a church of this size because I grew up with smaller churches where everyone knew about everyone and the pastor(s) did too. I didn't want to feel like just another member or a number in a big church. So we visited other churches in the area and found some really awesome ones that were a size I was more comfortable with but something kept us holding a thread to Faith Family. So we went back today and it was basically confirmed to the both of us that this was where we needed to be. The worship, the teaching, the vision, the friendly people from the "street to the seat", are all amazing. Will it take some adjusting, sure! But God placed us here for a reason and we can't wait to get plugged in, meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ and start serving God and his people at Faith Family!

    Well, I went on Family Day where complimentary cupcakes and coffee were a really good treat. I enjoyed the hospitality of the greeters everyone make you feel comfortable. The praise and worship was a breath of fresh air .The Pastor Rick was very relatable and so was his morning message. A young minister had a storytime reading a very engaging book by Max Lucado. What really touched my heart that this church has worked with organizations with backpack giveaways, donates to St Vincent DePaul and I think they have a program food for another dude. I enjoyed myself .At first they were doing one service at 11 am. But are going back to having two services
