My family and I have been attending the bridge service for a while now, and it truly feels like home. The community is warm and welcoming, the leadership is genuine and caring, and the messages are both inspiring and practical for everyday …

The congregation is very warm and friendly. The various charitable programs are an asset to the community. The Choir is one of the best Church Choirs in the city!

Got a flat tire today and had to pull into the parking lot here. So many people have come and gone and not one person has offered to help or even ask if I'm okay. Really sad. Really wasn't expecting to be ignored by everyone who passed by.

The church has excellent accommodations in it's welcoming, clean, and spacious recreational room and banquet room. The people are very friendly and warm to visitors. I've attended several local charitable fundraising banquets and the hosts on behalf of the church are very generous with their hospitality and charity.
