The people are so kind and genuine, but I feel there was a little pressure on politics which is so weird to me. The kid ministry is led by genuine people, Heath and Madison are amazing, but the church needs to give them more help. They are being run over by all these kids. They do not get enough help. The kids need more adults playing and watching them on Wednesday nights. They tell parents to sign up to help but only a fraction for, and thats not fair to the other parents. The kids are out of control. My husband said, when we were kids at church, we knee how to behave and were expected to. The church needs to respect themselves more and the other families instead of letting some of these kids be out of control and bulky other kids.

The preaching is fine and they teach from the Bible, which is the most important aspect of any church. They got a new pastor recently. He is a knowledgeable and very polished speaker, if a bit inexperienced still. The church has an incredible children's department (partially due to their school I'm sure), which is fantastic for getting my kid's involved. Classes for every age range and my kid's are engaged fairly well. The people are friendly enough, although they don't make any effort to reach out to new attendees. The service is huge and you are easily lost in the crowd. You will need to join small groups to make any meaningful connections if that is important, otherwise there are enough people that you are unlikely to even see the same people multiple times. The music is my biggest complaint by far. It's obnoxiously loud at times (although not as bad as some) and the worship leaders like to add all sorts of melisma and ad-libs that it makes it annoying / impossible to sing along. It feels like I'm at a concert for a cover band that thinks they know better than the original song writer. It rarely feels like genuine worship.

We love our church! They offer so many great, friendly life groups to join as well as 3 service times, and great childcare! All the staff and volunteers are so Christ-like and loving!

Its a big church very well known my family are members here. My preference is a smaller more intimate size. Good sermons and very friendly staff and church goers.

We have been members of this church for the past 2 years. The gospel is preached unapologetically! God is moving in this church! We love our life group here and have met some amazing friends. The Children's Ministry does a wonderful job teaching the children!

We attended Christmas Eve service and I was moved by the music and enjoyed the pastor and his delivery of the word. The style is contemporary yet I was not bothered by this as I normally prefer more traditional style. The people were friendly and the dress code was a very mixed variety. I would love to return for future visits!

This is a great place if you're looking for a church that caters to you. You will feel the spirit - or something approximating Him - through emotional music. You will be inspired with motivational-style peaking. You will enjoy the entire production in plush, comfortable seats, topped off by a fresh cup of coffee which you can take into the auditorium. Your experience won't be interrupted by unruly children - there's child care for that. There's some talk about Jesus. But let's be honest - you're not really there for that. They like to talk about community. Lots of people feel disconnected. Lonely. So it's just good marketing. But will you fit in? Depends. Are you white? No? You'll be tolerated but consigned to the outer circle. Even if you are white, you should be rich. Or at least look it. Everyone loves a winner and this church is no exception. If you're struggling, well, clearly you're not right with God. And who wants to be around a person not right with Him? They won't actually tell you this. They'll just say, with a nervous smile, that they'll pray for you (they won't, but it's the Christian thing to say) and then find a discreet way to distance themselves. A lot of people at this church are in real estate or finance. And if you're looking for a place to network or ply that trade or expand your network, or if you just want to be entertained, this really is a great church for you.

They spend a huge load of money on a Chritsmas spectacle (and charge their members), but real Christians would send all that money to the poor and needy. The poor need help and the middle class doesn't need flying drummer boys

I'm glad pastor spoke positive on Trump's bombing in Iran to take out the nuke facilities. If Iran continue their ways, the nukes would could cause thousand of death in Israel. God said he will protect Israel and He is using US to do his will. Psalm 121:4-7 and Isaiah 54:17. Pastor are not and should not be politicians in the pulpit, but pastors needs to include what is going on the world...even if it just for a few minutes. Too many so-called Christians are voting for the wrong people in Office or not voting at all. Christians need to stand up again politicians that does not align themselves to Christian values and beliefs...and not vote for a party that allows abortion, gay marriage and so on. Too many pastors around the country are too afraid to speak the truth at the pulpit...afraid of offending someone.

I would say I wasn't expecting to enjoy the service especially in a neighborhood of super rich people they were down to earth and pleasant and hours
