At Foothills I have found a compassionate, caring, and inclusive community. My toddler and I have been welcomed in and loved on from day 1, and my small group has become like family. “You belong here” isn’t just a catchy phrase, they really do make you feel like you belong, like you’re home.

This church has made the biggest difference in my life. It’s connected me to a small group, connected me to friends and family, and most importantly connected me to God. My life has been filled with so much joy and peace since I’ve been attending here

We finally found a home in a church! We love Pastor Trent, he helps our family grow closer to God by teaching from the Bible in a relatable way. The FC kids and FC students programs are amazing. As a momma of 6, this was high priority for me. My children love Sundays! And our small group has became our family, we love doing life with other Jesus followers.

I was feeling lonely so I went by to check it out on Father's Day, I am glad I did, such a strong sermon from the pastor. Had a wonderful experience.
