A wonderful church that cultivates community and a love for walking with Jesus and knowing Him. Pastor John has so faithfully served the community and the congregation with so much heart and love for Jesus and I am confident Pastor Bruce will do the same! Many options to serve and meet others and get needed support through the church and community.

It is just another Babylonian culturized religious social club that compromises YeHoVaH on Sunday from Yehovah Seventh-Day Sabbath which never changed being the resurrected on the Sabbath/ Saturday (not Sunday like their sungod worship with their fake Roman Jesus called Nimrod). They are another protestant Christian assembly chick of rebel-Catholicism hen-house clucks grounded and brainwashed Jesuit taught lies. They say they're not wrong, but their very actions fruit proves a type of unnamed denominationalism with their anti-semitism like most churches. Mistakenly their version of Christ seems to be being pulled into the ecumenical-evangelical slug-snare of the 'New World' order religion, and they're not stopping it even though they have the power of the pulpit. I guess their compromise is just so they can avoid paying property taxes to shut their sour fruit mouths. Our Hebrew SAVIOR ANOINTED fulfilled the Torah, and did not replace it. The pastor is either uneducated, that's one thing; but, if he knows the truth and doesn't teach it, that's another thing. It's just another entertaining Church of the Vatican II Council. I guess they don't understand Romans 11 especially from verse 19 to it's end. There's only one TREE of LIFE, you can't have it your way calling the shots over GOD's word, and it doesn't matter if you're a Jewish chosen or a gentile dog, only the real Jesus Christ is your propitiation redemption for eternal life. This church is typical of almost any denominational protestant or Catholic assembly. Wake up people, do not be spoon-fed. Know the truth and submit to it, if you truly believe in CHRIST, YeHoVaH as our only omnipotent is one-on-one HOLY KING. If Pastors mislead you, and you do not make it to Heaven, it is your own fault, because the blame game will not work on others just yourself. Always put your pastor in check to checkmate, to test his subjective truth compared to absolute TRUTH. The (John 14:6) TRUTH will set you free, indeed.

I have been going here for 3 years. I believe it to be a great place to worship. And the pastor and his wife have beautiful souls. And they are always willing to help anyone. Even if they don't go to the church.
