    Great Bible preaching church! Pastor Franky is on fire for the Gospel. He teaches sound doctrine and he's keeping it simple. He's very engaged with his audience. I love the Q&A session at the end of the service! Everyone is leaving there with a clear understanding of the message. The sermon is preached in English, but it's instantly translated in French and broadcast through an earpiece for those who need it. The nursery will be fully operational in a few months. Both in French and English. The songs alternate English and French. Overall, the experience was very nice and refreshing. Soli Deo Gloria!

    This is a promising new church. The pastor is really great. The only issue is the lack of childcare. It is a young congregation with lots of babies, toddlers, kids, and it's just too distracting with all the noise. Some churches can get away with no childcare, but not this one. Hopefully, it's something they can find volunteers for soon.
