Myself and my wife were fortunate to find this wonderful church about 2 years ago. Everyone we have met has welcomed us here like family. Special thanks to Pastor Mark Nelson you've changed our lives for the better. Love coming here on Sunday to hear you preach God's Word. You are truly blessed. Thanks for everything. Couldn't see ourselves anywhere else.
Be very cautious when considering any involvement with this church. I walked through a very disturbing experience with an extremely close friend involving this place. The Pastor meets one on one with females, extremely unethical and concerning. During these meetings, requires that the female says specific things regarding her belief in God, in order to be “considered” for membership. Also, refuses membership to people who are just looking for a place to belong. When considering this church, please first understand that there is a reason the membership is so small, the likes on social media are so few, and their following is so little. Protect yourself and search for a Bible based, Godly church. This church gives God a bad name.
Both of my kids attended preschool here, and I cannot speak highly enough about their program. They do a ton of story telling, learning through play, and fun outdoors exercises. During the summer program they spend a lot of time outdoors doing fun projects, bike days, and they go on a lot of field trips! It makes me so happy to have my kids outside socializing with other kids vs being indoors in front of electronics all day. The teachers there are compassionate while also teaching them manners. Yes, they will come home occasionally with dirty clothes, as they should! To me it just means that they got to play. I truly could not recommend enough!
This is solely in regards to the pre-school as I am not familiar with the church itself. My child was at the school for a little over a month. I do believe that there is racial discrimination at the school unfortunately. I was getting phone calls for my child almost daily about him not praying when he was supposed to, throwing rocks at the playground (not at people), and the list goes on and on. My child just turned 4 and when I spoke to the teacher Juliette and told her he has to transition and getting calls all the time about behavior that could be addressed in the classroom was stressful… she ignored me and turned to my child and said “you’re stressing you’re mommy out”. I proceeded to tell her no my child is 4 and this is an adult discussion. She wouldn’t even look at me. This is her first teaching position and she is overwhelmed, the school director advised me of this. There were a few staff members that were amazing, she’s not one of them. I asked for my son to be in another classroom and it was disregarded. At one point when I was picking up my child, there were two boys fighting of the Caucasian race (around 6/7 years old) and hitting each other on the playground. There was no direction given that I saw, a couple days later, I was advised to pick up my child due to pushing another child and not sharing. Being a former teacher I can say with full confidence that the school lacks professionalism and seasoned educators.
Preschool review- I do not know much about the Church. My daughter went there for a couple months and a couple months only.. during that time my daughter came home with her clothes all stained and ruined. My daughter also informed me a child wanted her to come to his house to do inappropriate things I will not state. When I told her teacher she informed me she caught my daughter and the other child at the playground with their pants down a few days prior. Not only did that open a can of something I did not want my daughter exposed to, it was also discussed with my child by the administrator and her teacher without me knowing about any of it. I feel like if my daughter didn’t tell me about the comments from the other child I wouldn’t have ever known that happened. I think that is beyond unprofessional. I am sickened by this. She was pulled out and then we were billed for the following week she was not there and they sent our 2441 tax forms late!!!! I feel that was intentional and unprofessional. Worst nightmare.
