If you want to experience a pastor who teaches God's word and also lives it this is the place. Pastor Austin and his family are true examples of what it means to be Christ like. That isn't saying they are perfect but they are on the right road. They are attentive to the flock and that includes the special needs community. The flock are very welcoming. We've been apart of this church for more than two years. We are so glad God has put us at this church. We have a daughter who has down syndrome and they treat her normal. Not like she's invisible. This is truly a family. They also have a great place to host an event. We had a Night to Shine event and there were more than 200 people in the center.

I’m not a member of this church myself, but my mom was, and my son attends often. After my dad passed away, this church was a source of comfort and strength for my mom, and the way she was cared for meant so much to our family. When she passed, the love and support we received from this community truly touched my heart. I can’t express enough how much this church meant to her, and how deeply grateful I am for the kindness and warmth shown to both my son and me.

Amazing church body! We love our Pastor and we know he loves his flock. He is a righteous man and he preaches the word of God. We have a wonderful family at Peoples church and I am proud to be part of it.

I was looking for a non denominational church that is a Bible believing, bible teaching church plus Jesus loving people. I found this in People's Church. Our pastor, Austin Schmitt is a Jesus loving pastor who can't wait to tell you about and how to have a relationship with our God. Come see us, you won't be disappointed...God loves you...❤️🤗

Service and worship are great there.. People not so much. Very standoffish, was there 2 yrs, volunteered to help was always told that’s ok and was not needed. When I recovered from a coma, first time I could drive and walk by myself went straight there for prayer. Told my story to an Usher was told oh that’s nice.. no one offered to help me walk to a pew.. when I asked for assistance to get prayer was told members first. That was the last time I ever went. Was made to feel like I didn’t belong.

I live next door. Today they put up a fence and gate to stop local kids from respectfully using their playground. I’ve remained silent for 6 or 7 years but I am compelled now to say that they are not a Christian church. Years ago I found some of their literature in the grass on the side of the road in reference to why God hates the Jews and why they are evil. That is what they are teaching their youth. Find Jesus elsewhere because He probably isn’t there. Upon further investigation there’s no locked gate and no No Trespassing sign. I overreacted but the literature is absolutely true. I picked it up and held it in my own hands. A good friend of mine is a member and I hope to be invited to worship and to see with my own eyes that the past is no longer true.

If you want straight biblical preaching / teaching, you’ll love this church. Friendly environment with plenty of opportunities to fellowship together & serve.
