What visitors say
If I could rate the community and the pastors alone, I would give this church a billion stars. My family and I found a genuinely welcoming home here. The people were kind, the environment felt safe, and the teaching deepened my understanding of Christ and God’s call to love, serve, and live with integrity. That matters, especially for anyone carrying hurt or complicated history with church. I did not feel like a project here. I felt like a person. That is rare, and I am grateful. Because I take faith seriously, I also want to be honest about the one thing that ultimately made us leave: the worship music. For many of us, worship is not a “warm-up” before the sermon. It is formation. It is one of the primary ways we offer our hearts to God, become present, confess, remember, and join our voices with the Body. Music can open the soul to receive the Word, and it can knit a room of strangers into a single, living community. When worship is healthy, it lifts our eyes, softens our defenses, and helps us practice joy together. In our experience, the worship music here repeatedly did the opposite. It felt outdated, disengaged, and spiritually flattening, to the point that it was difficult to stay attentive and open. It did not feel like joyful congregational worship. It felt like background noise that drained the room. At first, I wondered if this was just personal preference. I am a person of color, and I grew up in a Black church where worship is often more participatory and embodied. I know styles vary, and I do not expect every church to match my background. But this was not simply “not my flavor.” It was consistently unengaging. We asked several others around us, including white members, and they shared the same concern. Over time, this became more than an annoyance. It became a barrier to belonging. We found ourselves timing arrival to avoid as much of the music as possible, but with kids drop-off, that is only so workable. Eventually, we had to admit the truth: we loved the church, but the worship experience was making it hard to participate with a whole heart. So we moved on. I am writing this with respect, not contempt. I believe humility and honesty are part of discipleship, for congregants and leaders alike. If the church is open to learning, this may be an area to seek outside input, invite guest musicians periodically, invest in new leadership, or rethink what “congregational worship” should feel like in this community. I truly hope you address it, because the church itself is doing real good, and the preaching and community deserve worship that helps people draw near to God instead of pushing them to endure the moment until it passes. If this changes, I would genuinely consider returning. P.S. I want to be very clear about what I am, and am not, saying. This has nothing to do with theology, faithfulness, or whether the worship team is “teaching the gospel” in a style I prefer. We chose this church because we resonated with the values and the preaching, and I still stand by those values, which is exactly why I’m taking the time to write this. The issue is simply musical and communal: the music itself is not strong, it is boring, and it does not invite congregational engagement. It consistently felt like it shut the room down rather than drawing people together in worship. ANAZING church that practices scriptural teachings and the practices of Jesus by accepting all people where they are. Great for youth services, music ministry and very service oriented. So thankful to have found this church!! This is my Church of choice. I enjoy how open they are to ALL people. They are friendly and always welcoming. There are many things to do for all ages. I especially like the teaching from the pastors. They are relevant as well as use Bible verses. If you're in search of a church, I would recommend looking elsewhere. From what is presented on the Crosspoints website, it is clear that this church does not adhere to Biblically sound teachings. After reviewing their site, it's evident that this "church" aligns with the warnings given in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, which states: "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." Take a look at their "Values" page. Jesus isn't even mentioned until the third bullet point…. This alone speaks volumes about how central He is to their mission. As you continue reading their "Values" page, it becomes increasingly clear that the leadership embraces an Omnist perspective, which holds that other religions contain valid truths and that their followers have something to teach us. This is contrary to the Great Commission, which affirms that Christianity is the only true faith. Furthermore, the "Values" page shows that this church does not view the Bible as the inherent Word of God. They state, "not tolerating the promotion of toxic, theological ideas that measurably harm others." While it’s important to address harmful teaching, this sentiment seems to suggest the selective dismissal of parts of Scripture with which they disagree. This is a dangerous path that mirrors the world’s approach, not God’s. Scripture is clear on the matter: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We cannot cherry-pick which parts of God’s Word we accept based on personal preference. Moving on to another statement in their "Values" page: they reject the traditional teaching of eternal, bodily punishment in Hell, claiming it is counter to Love and not found in Jesus' teachings. This claim either indicates a willful disregard for Jesus' clear teachings or a lack of understanding of basic Christian theology. Jesus speaks of Hell numerous times in the New Testament. Here are just a few examples: Mark 9:43: "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out." Matthew 25:46: "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." Revelation 21:8: "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters, and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." I could continue listing verses, but the point is clear: Hell is a reality that Jesus spoke about often. This "church," if it can even be called that, bears a striking resemblance to the church of Laodicea, as described in Revelation 3:15-16: "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Like the Laodicean church, the leadership of this “church” and the congregation seems to lack the fervent, uncompromising faith in Christ that marks a true believer. Their approach to doctrine is diluted, compromised by worldly views and a refusal to embrace the truth of Scripture, much like the lukewarm church that sought to blend in with the culture instead of standing firm in the truth. For those seeking to know Jesus Christ and to form a genuine relationship with Him, I urge you to find another place of worship. I am compelled to warn others and refute this church's teachings, just as Titus 1:9 instructs: "He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it." I speak from personal experience, as I once attended this church before the leadership made changes that led it away from Biblical truth. This is an extremely liberal church. Have attended here for some time due to lack of options and trying to have an open mind. They consistently echo democrat, mainstream media and leftist viewpoints under the guise of inclusion. All of the pastors seem to come from some sort of religious trauma backgrounds and attempt to “retake his word”. Definitely a Us versus Them mentality and approach. The patrons and leadership are initially inviting amd welcoming, but if you hold anything than the most liberal views you will not feel comfortable sharing or expressing your personal beliefs.
