Thrive Church is a place of God. People hear the Word of God there due to the intelligence, the communication skills and the Spirit within our hard working Pastor Todd. Here you find a down to earth message that emphasizes how the teachings in the Bible can guide us through everyday life. You hear a viewpoint that can not be easily found in the current culture; nor on Netflix, nor in Movies, nor in Music, nor on the street. If you want to experience hearing the Word of God, then come to Thrive Church; the Spirit is there, and so are people like yourself!

Thrive Church is without question the most loving warm and genuine fellowship I had experienced since giving my life to Christ 47 years ago! Pastor Todd is a very gifted leader and teacher of God's word. The challenges and truth is revealed through scripture at Thrive and so are the needs of body as followers of our Lord and Savior Jesus.

Thrive Church is like no other! Pastor Todd's messages are directly linked to the Bible and his messages are so helpful for living today! Our church members have truly become an extended family. We all know each other by name and it is such a joy to be in the presence of such great people. If you have yet to attend our church, you don't know what you are missing! Please join us at the Senior Center on 21st Avenue. I promise that you will feel warm and welcomed and will begin to have life long relationships with God's great people!

Thrive Church has been a guiding light for my family and me, offering moving and powerful messages delivered by Pastor Todd that have deeply resonated with us on our spiritual journey. The messages have not only brought us closer to Jesus but have also inspired us to live our lives with greater purpose and meaning. In a time where the world can feel chaotic and uncertain, having a church community like Thrive Church to rely on is invaluable. The sense of belonging and support we’ve found here has been transformative. It’s not just about attending services; it’s about being part of a family that shares in our joys and supports us through our challenges. Pastor Todd’s messages are not only uplifting but also deeply rooted in scripture, providing both spiritual guidance and practical wisdom for navigating life’s ups and downs. His sincerity and passion for sharing the love of Christ are evident in every word spoken, leaving a lasting impact on all who listen. Highly recommend Thrive Church to anyone seeking a deeper connection with God and a supportive community to walk alongside them on their spiritual journey.

*cue the "I never write reviews..." statement But seriously... My family and I love Thrive Church!! We struggled for a while to find a church that truly felt welcoming for new believers. It felt like a huge weight off of our shoulders when we attended our first service here because we knew our search was over. I was always so nervous I would be judged because I knew next to nothing about Christianity, but I have NEVER felt more comfortable with a church than I do here. It does not matter where you are in your faith, Pastor Todd's messages are so easy to soak up and understand. He hits the nail on the head each Sunday (I promise it's not boring and he's quite funny too.) He speaks boldy about the word of God in a time where other pastors twist scripture to reflect whatever is popular in culture at the time. We are especially thankful that we can drop off our 9 month old and 2 year old to the sweet staff members in the nursery before service starts. Also, they have really cool Thrive Church gear & yummy snacks too so y'all are missing out.

We feel very blessed to be a part of Thrive Church. We have made friends and established a support group through our small group. Pastor Todd's sermons are very relevant and always Bible based. We are excited to see what God has in store for Thrive Church.
