It's a very nice place to go. They helped me with funding to get a duplicate copy of my driver's license, and I ate breakfast there. The people there are extremely friendly and I would definitely visit there again.

Unfortunately my first visit to this church was for a funeral. The church was large, clean, and well kept. Everyone was very friendly. There is parking available on the street as well as a small lot across the street. there is multiple rooms besides just the main room. Acoustics are good inside and there is restrooms.
