My husband and I started looking for a new church after we were married. We found foothills about 2 years ago and it had truly made such a massive impact on our lives. We have grown closer to Christ I many ways, individually and together and are continuing to grow everyday! We are so grateful for everyone at foothills and all the love and support each person shares for each other. Foothills truly does amazing at making a big church feel small! We are happy to call it our church!

Foothills Church has been a huge blessing to me and my family. It is truly a very welcoming place that cares deeply for visitors and partners. The music and sermons each week will absolutely impact you and inspire you to grow deeper with your faith. If you are seeking a new church home or would just like to visit, this is the place for you. You are welcome here.

My wife an I have attended Foothills for nearly 3 years now and have grown in our faith, gained community, and have been challenged in many ways in our personal relationship with Jesus. Come join us! When you visit, ask about the Journey process!

First of all, don’t call yourself non-denomination you’re a Baptist Church I came and I was going for a while then I went through this program where they said, watch the video and they started talking about everything that they don’t believe in and boy whatever you do be careful of that spirit thing there Listen if you’re not from this area and you’re coming over here be careful. OK there’s a lot of churches around here there are Baptist and they’re flying under the banner of non-denominational that’s a lie. You need to be honest if you got Baptist beliefs then you’re a Baptist Church OK and that’s all there is and non-denomination is a non-denomination that’s the full gospel of Jesus Christ not going in there and cutting out chapters and parts of the Bible to your buffet lightning Not happy at all. I got a phone call at 8 o’clock in the morning on Sunday from a pasture wanting to talk because I had an issue because they were updating my visa and I haven’t even been in the church for three years. This is not good not happy at all. Be careful if you’re new in town. This is about this church, that’s all there is to it

I absolutely love this church!! They always make my family and I feel so welcomed. I love the message that pastor Trent preaches every Sunday. They have a wonderful staff and atmosphere. I thank God for bringing this church into my life.

I LOVE my church! The teaching, the people and the Pastor are Amazing. It was very important to find a church that my family loved going to. That me and my husband felt fed and that my daughter loved going to. Every Sunday we are excited to get up and go to church. We haven't ever done that before. We have been going to this church for 4 month. We just moved from California. But I love how they have a 11 a.m. service so we still get to sleep in a little. I'm so happy we found Foothills church.

I have been going here for sometime. Im truly concerned after taking Basecamp. The book states this church will not make a place for the gift of the spirit of tongues. Their absolutely no way possible this church can recieve power or dominion or have any part of the Holy Spirit flowing freely if you deny any part of the Holy Spirit. I feel like the interest of the investors are being reverenced more then a fear of God. Acts chapter 2 makes it very evident that tongues is the evidence of the promise being fully recieved. I got baptized in the Holy Spirit when I was in my 20s by the evidence of speaking in tongues. I simply said in my heart LORD if this is real I want I want all that you have to offer me. Immediately the power of God hit me so hard knocked me on my back I was so drunk in the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues another member of our small church had to drive me home. He got baptized in the Holy Ghost on the ride home and recieved the gift of tongues and begin to interpret. Their is no more time left in the Earth we do not have time to play games with ARROGANT KNOW IT ALL THEOLOGY. BE LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN AND LET THE HOLY GHOST FLOW IN ALL POWER DOMINION AND MIGHT. HE HIS GOD NOT ATTENDANCE OR THE INVESTORS.

I stopped and talked to the young man who played guitar and sang today. I could see in his face the "Strength and Certainty of our Lord." He was talking to two other people at the door. I told him how powerful his song felt to me. I told him that tomorrow I will have a second surgery on my left hip, and that I had died on the operation table before during a 5 bypass heart surgery. They shocked me back after 17 tries. So the problem is anesthesia and bum ticker. I told the young man I'm not afraid of death, and look forward to meeting Jesus Christ. I was such a lost soul and I have no idea why he would want to save the scoundrel that I was...but he did. Now I'm running short on time to help my loved ones find Jesus Christ. So the strong spirited young man ask me if I would mind if he and his two friends prayed for me. Of course, I said. I turned and looked at the man to my left and his face radiated Joy and friendship and gave me a welcome feeling with only his facial expression, and then I turned and looked at the woman who standing in between the two men and her eyes and were sparkling like stars. I want to think she has the Holy Spirit, but I can only say what I actually saw with my own eyes. Then they prayed over me and we all stood together in God's presence. There I was the Saved Scoundrel, standing and praying with Three of God's Holy People... and they were praying for me! Did you here what I said, they were praying to give a little more time, to old Scoundrel. Sorry "Saved Old Scoundrel" Hallelujah Amen 🙏
