They made a mistake hiring pastor Jason Mueller back at Ransom!! He's very rude and judgmental towards people like me who (how should I put this), are outside of societies mainstream!! Im on the autism spectrum disorder and Jason was very rude and judgmental towards me on the phone!! Oh well, plenty of other churches in Sioux falls I can attend where people won't be rude and talk down to me like here!!!! I also talked to other people who had a similar experience like me with Jason!!!

Great church, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Pastor Phil gives a message in a way to bring it together with real world examples. They also provide free coffee and soda for all the people attending. One thing is that the place is becoming so popular, that it the seating fills up quick.

Good staff that always does their best to care for people where they are. In particular, I’ve admired Mara, Angel, Stephanie and retired pastor Jason… leadership I’ve worked with personally. They’re with you to wrestle through concerns and pain, and committed to always pointing you on the right path. The sermons are great as well. Always something to talk and think about after you leave.

Love Ransom Church it’s the best church I’ve ever had I’m so blessed to call home and got baptized on June 5th 2016 then went to Juarez Mexico on June 1st through the 8th 2019, and got married on July 3 2021 to my wife Cynthia Olson that Jared Bell married us. Also help out with kids ministry and I was helping long time ago with guest services. Glad to meet new people.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful in showing me where to go and where coffee was and even brought my coffee to me as a newcomer. I would highly recommend them.

I absolutely love the Ransom! They have such a warm, welcoming and judgment free atmosphere. I think one of the best things about Ransom is the people, I can't rave enough about the fantastic people there. Our first week going, we didn't know anyone there, but immediately we were welcomed into a church family, and the amount of wonderful people I've met since is insane. On Wednesday nights we have Ransom Teens from 7-9, and being a high schooler its great to be able to meet with your peers and grow together. It's seriously such a great time :) I just can't say enough about how awesome this church is to do it justice, so I guess you'll just have to come see it for yourself!! :)
