We've been attending for about 12 months now, and it's been a blessing from the start. The sermons are Scripture-based, relevant, and coherent, truly nourishing for the soul. The music is uplifting at a comfortable volume, and the congregation couldn't be more friendly. Really enjoy the home Bible studies, the Sunday school classes, the Wednesday fellowship dinners, and the men's Monday morning coffee group. Everyone we've met has been warm, welcoming, supportive, and encouraging. It's not flashy or exciting. It's people oriented and God focused. We've found our church home. (I'm not on staff or asked to write this. I'm just grateful to have found a healthy, Bible centered, people oriented, Godly church family).
