"After all these years of not being in this church, I still think about it. Years later, after when life happened, in my heart this church is still my home. I STILL haven't found one I connected with on a level like this one. This is the church that was like a family when I desperately needed one, the one that really noticed when you sat down in the pew and made you feel NOTICED, the one that was genuinely concerned when you went missing. The one that had the Pastor calling out your name and saying that it was good to see you, not caring who heard because this church was a family. The one that didn't shame you at all because of where you are at spiritually, because God was with you too. After all these years, my Pastor is still Pastor Ivan Cruz. I still think about the love and kindness the Pastor and his wife showed me, going so far and to look them up years later when I'm not even in the same state anymore. Thank you so much for everything you did for me, I still appreciate it so much. Hope all is well with you and your family. I am so glad to see that you are still going. -Stephanie Lifton"

"I'm a Christian looking for a church home visited a few times the pastor asked me to leave because I didn't have the gift of Tounges he said I wasn't bonded with the people. I was shocked first time ever did this happen to me. I walked out the door in dis belief cried that evening. everyone I told what happened said It was a blessing for me and Jesus will lead me to a better place. John from Hamilton twp"

"Amazing church with a great Pastor and 1st Lady; been going for almost 9 years and a great place to worship the Lord"

"I've been at this church for 4 years now and it has been a life altering experience for me. I've had the pleasure of building relationships with so many wonderful people that are members, those that have visited and those that have since left. I'm thankful to be a part of the ministry serving as a children's ministry teacher and leader. God moves in this house! To those that are searching, have gone from church to church (as I have in the past) I can say from experience that you will find the presence of God in this place. I love my Pastor and First Lady to which they have both spent personal time with me and to help with in spiritual journey. To experience something you have to go through it on your own. I encourage anyone that is without a "home" church or have never been to a church before - come have an experience that will leave you wanting to know more of HIM. From the moment the doors open you will be greeted warmly and ushered into the sanctuary by loving ushers and acknowledged by those around you. When the time comes when they ask for first time visitors don't be shy to raise your hand because we're here to welcome you and share with you the love of God. Eternally grateful for the work God has done at this church and what continues to happen. Never a stale or stagnant church. With love - Eliana"

"Horrible. I thought the worship was inspiring although the drummer missed a few beats and the sound went in and out. The pastors hit on emotional things but never a good fork of meat. but it was what happened after the service that made me never want to attend again, the dance leader was speaking ill of someone who wasn't originally from there. I couldn't believe that she would openly express her hatred towards that lady and no one corrected her. I shamefully stood around to hear more but she just quickly became quiet when walking away with a man who seemed to be a zombie. I'll never go again. What a shame"
