What visitors say
My family and I have been coming here since September. Pastor Tom preaches from a biblical perspective in a way that is easy to follow and understand. We have grown a lot in our walk with the Lord since we started coming here. My wife and I have both been baptized here and we are excited to come every Sunday to continue our journey! Every time I have attended a Sunday service at this church, I have left more frustrated than when I arrived. After multiple visits over the years, my concerns haven’t changed, they’ve only become clearer. The Pulpit here feels more like a feel good ego booster than a place of Biblical Authority and Accountability. Topical preaching, as it is consistently delivered here, feels shallow and misaligned with what people truly need in this season. We are living in a time where the world is loud, chaotic, and spiritually heavy. Scripture makes it clear that we are in a battle, not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12) and people are walking into church desperate for truth, clarity, and spiritual equipping. Instead, the messages often revolve around surface-level topics like saving money, managing anxiety, or even personal anecdotes that feel disconnected from the weight of what believers are facing. There is a real hunger right now for solid, biblical teaching. People are not just looking for encouragement, they are looking for transformation through The Word of God. With biblical literacy at an all-time low, the responsibility of a pastor is not to entertain or lightly motivate, but to teach, correct, and equip (2 Timothy 3:16–17). I have yet to hear a message here from Pastor Tom that reflects the depth, authority, or conviction that pastoral leadership requires. 1 Timothy 3 lays out clear qualifications for church leaders: self-controlled, respectable, able to teach, and above reproach. Leadership in the church is not a platform for personal preferences or casual storytelling, it is a calling that demands humility and accountability. John 3:30 reminds us, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” When that posture is missing, it shows. At any given moment, someone can walk through those doors completely broken, searching for something real, something eternal. That is not a small responsibility. That is a weight pastors are called to carry with reverence and seriousness. Messages should point people to Christ, confront sin, strengthen faith, and prepare believers to stand firm in a spiritually dark world, not simply offer life tips or light encouragement. After giving this church chance after chance since 2021, I can confidently say this is not a place where I have found that kind of leadership or teaching. It often feels like there is more emphasis on comfort than conviction, and more desire for agreement than accountability. My prayer is that leadership takes a step back, examines Scripture honestly, and realigns with what biblical shepherding is truly meant to be. The church is too important, and the times we are living in are too serious, for anything less. The people of this Church should become familiar with James 2:2-4 "For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?" You should treat strangers that walk into your Church with kindness and humility. Not like we're criminals for being delivery workers with Brown Skin. I'm disappointed in you brothers and sisters. I'll pray that Christ gives you grace to love your neighbors as you love yourselves. Church Leaders should reflect the laws of God and especially the Royal Law. You have much to learn before you attempt to teach others. Take that log out brothers your time to do so is running short. God be with you Been going here for many years. The lead Pastor is one of the best. Biblically accurate and his sermons are not boring. Very inviting environment and filled with loving and very welcoming people. They have a clear message when preaching and very good songs of worship. They are a medium sized church with no mega church vibe. Never left a review on a church before but this experience was worth giving to someone else who may be reading this and wondering if they should attend. Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for a new church to attend or seek the word of God.
