Visiting from out of town over the weekend, I wanted to find a church for Sunday.
After reading the Yelp reviews, I also investigated their website and watched one of the sermon videos online, and as the reviewers seem to indicate here, the pastor seems dynamic and motivational from what I saw...
Amazingly, they have FIVE Sunday services that cater to different needs/demographics (according to the type of music that they play) -
CLASSIC: 8:00AM
BLENDED: 9:30AM
CONTEMPORARY: 11:15AM & 5PM
I attended the 11:15 am one. Even though they have a fairly large parking lot, it was almost full! The worship center is HUGE-double the size of the Christian church that I attend at home in California; and it was packed - it's best to come early. I was certain that they have quite a few thousand congregants.
They are located on a huge campus with different ministries seemingly in different locations and at different times throughout the morning.
They have a Kids Center that seems to take up about a third of their campus; they have some really nice outdoor areas perfect for socializing, chatting, or hanging out. They were serving refreshments outside and there were lots of peeps just enjoying the great day.
They had a full-piece band with a choir. Though they imply that different genres of music drive their different worship times, their "contemporary" service still had music with a traditional tinge to it - perhaps it was the choir - that made it sound that way. Nonetheless, the music was good.
Pastor Jamie Magnusson was great - a really strong speaker who gave a great sermon, and who keeps your attention throughout.
