Good intro in walking in the door, free gift to first time guests. There is no dress code culture, just wear what you think looks nice. Android app for church not in play store but advertised. Worship is Christian contemporary. Auditorium has individual padded seats. There is a worship band with keyboard, guitars, and drums played at a reasonable volume. Lights are mood changing but are repetitive every Sunday. Pastor Eric Watts is unconventional in his sermons, you may have to come a few times to get an accurate opinion. Sermons have a theme series with a practical application each point with a referenced bible verse and handout. I felt inspired by the sermons. Church has an active youth service and kids ministry every Sunday. I have no kids. The Church has life groups (cell groups) that tend to be bi-weekly. Church is established but still growing. Overall, very positive experience and will return.
>>>>>Edit 1 year later: the church is local community and globally focused. The church has 2 major free local ministry outreach events on Easter and holoween. The pastor has a separate ministry in human trafficking prevention and puts his life in danger on a regular basis. The main pastor is regularly absent in another country and gives other pastors the stage even if he is present on occation but is by no means neglectful. He gave a speech giving the structure of leadership with the elders at the top. Many active regular members are willing to take part and participate in multiple functions and groups. Some of those members have very heavy work lives but still choose to take on large roles in the church. There are people from every race and economic background, and even homeless. There is free panera bread open on the table every Sunday in bags for taking home. The building is not neglected but needs a major renovation and an elevator to come up to standard along with some handrails and a ADA ramp for disabled. This is an active small church with good but not great attendance. You can find seats for your family. There is no new guest ministry that I can see, but there is a series new member class for a more formal introduction throughout the year. They have a fenced playground and set. Still very Good local church with kind members. Possibly some budget constraints but still invested in outreach so you always feel your tithes in action. This is a comfortable church with areas to grow meet some very sweet people here.
Very friendly and spiritual church.
