We visited here, felt very welcomed, the people were nice, friendly, and the preacher Mike was very good, Christ centered, and led by Lord. Singing / music was good however we went to 8:30 service and I think that may have been more of an individual worship thing than maybe at the 10:30 larger service but not sure and would have to check out the 10:30 service to see that. Ni doubt they are Christ centered but at least in the early service I would suggest posting song words on a screen or in books, minimize ad-lib parts so is easier for whole audience to participate, follow along, and join in song worship too. Don't get me wrong we liked it but that would have helped us more as well. May try it again. Wouldn't be disappointed. God is great!

They were very welcoming and the majority seemed to be in love with Jesus. The pastor reminded me (at least on that day) of a Pentacostal pastor in the things he said. He definitely still has a lot of religious doctrine in his beliefs, and that is why he got a 4 star review instead of 5. I have read the Bible 32 times. Some of what he said came out of Pentacostal doctrine and not the Bible.

Spirit filled and a great message. Our Crosby group loved it. We will definitely be back to worship with the church. Thank you for a great end to our weekend family gathering.

We made this our church of choice. Very caring people. Preaching from the Bible to spread the word of God. ( Not a prosperity doctrine ) Music is outstanding. We feel at home there. Come join us.
