Comment: Its a great church. The community of this church is so warm. Locals and visitors are welcome. The messages are so insightful. During the summer, its 1 service at 10 am for a few months, and the rest of the year, its a traditional service at 9 am and contemporary service at 10:45 am. They have a kids ministry as well if you want to drop your little ones off for their own little church.

Comment: I don’t personally attend church, but regarding their thrift store…..I can’t say enough good things about this place!First and foremost, the staff is absolutely fantastic. They go so above and beyond, one of the staff members always saves paints and art supplies for me, knowing I am a full time Etsy seller. :) They’re very thoughtful and you can tell they are there because they enjoy what they’re doing, and it’s really refreshing.Both shops have fantastic prices and great quality items. There’s never a need to filter through junk while you’re shopping. There are lots of beautiful, upscale items on the housewares side for some of the best prices of any local thrift store. The linens are especially fantastic. The clothing side almost always has a a great sale running like all items over $5 are $2 etc. I’ve literally purchased what would easily be considered a whole new wardrobe of almost all name brand pieces (probably more like 2 times over!) for under $100. I’ve even scored a Michael Kors leather tote for around $10.It’s absolutely worth the stop at the ATM because they’re cash only, and adjusting your schedule since they’re hours are limited, to shop both of these great stores. I absolutely recommend them over any other thrift shops in the area!

Comment: A wedding ceremony for Jason and Serena was held here on Saturday, June 4th, and it was EXCEPTIONAL!! Pastor Jeff could not have been more succinct in the Message of Gods covenant of matrimony. A blessing for all who attended, assisted, and enjoyed. Please committ your next wedding to take place at this beautiful church, where God is in the midst here. 🙏⛪

Comment: Lovely little non-denominational church that combines traditional architecture with contemporary music & audio/video facilities. (Oddly, the stained glass windows included images from both scripture & imperial/colonial history.) The building vaguely resembles a hen, and the church is light-hearted enough to play on that perception with their logo.

Comment: I enjoy Pastor Jeffs teachings from the Bible that are scripture based in 1 particular chapter or book which teaches as a whole from that book of the Bible instead of jumping around from book to book, Old Testament to New Testament. I enjoy how he defines the scripture in modern times and uses visual examples as demonstration.I also enjoy the size of the church where individuals dont get lost in the congregation and theres a personal feel of being a family.

The members of the congregation were warm and welcoming. I received a note in the mail thanking me for worshipping with them and inviting me back. I look forward to worshipping there again next time Im in the area.
