Can't say enough of years past when I visited Upward Church in Williamsburg.!
Felt like home from the first time we walked in the door. Love the family atmosphere
My children and I loved this church. It's really diverse, and reflective of the Norfolk community. They have a great youth program with caring leaders.
This is my home church. Pastor Craig and the other pastors are what you can call "warrior leaders". They love purely & truly want to help save as many souls possible before the return of Christ. They do not teach what people want to hear. They teach what we need to hear... The truth. There I am constantly filled with the true word of God. The love lives in the atmosphere.
The thing I love most about Upward Church is the emphasis on building relationships. They say, "Don't do life alone", and they mean it. In addition to meeting and getting to know wonderful people, I'm hearing teaching that's good for me, and it's applicable to my life. I love the music. I know that the worship team spends time in practice and that they love what they're doing. The people who meet you at the door are friendly. Their Kids' Church is both organized and fun for the little ones. I've never felt judged or looked down on by anyone, including the Pastors, who personally greet people every time the doors are open. They know you by name, and that feels good, especially since Upward isn't a tiny church. Another major plus is that you can wear what you want and not feel out of place. Dress up if you want, and don't if you don't. And no one's going to shove anything down your throat. The pastor gets up there and yeah, he reads scripture, but he also speaks from his own experience. Plus he's hilarious. All in all, if you're not a church-type and you're just checking the whole thing out, you should definitely stop by Upward. And if you are a church-type and you're looking for a church home (like I was) you should visit Upward Church too.
