    They have a great clothing bank to help families in the area. $2 bag! I have gone here numerous times to get clothing to help out friends and family. The volunteers are very pleasant to engage with while browsing!

    I went to church for the first time (in years) on Sunday. I felt very comfortable, very friendly and down to earth people all around me. They welcomed me as though they knew me forever. Just ran into a member of the congregation last night while out having dinner. What a lovely moment.

    Daycare is very nice. My daughter is well takin cared of and loved. She also loves too go to daycare. The new pastor is kind compassionate and helpful. Very nice facility and seems to be very clean.

    This church is disgusting and ungodly. They fired their pastor for simply reaching out to people who have been ostracized. Backwards, ignorant, and bullies.
