5 /5 melissa schmidt: My home. Christland Church and all the people in it are family to me and my two teenagers. We have been going here for 7 years, and we have never felt more safe, loved, and cared for. As a single mom who is constantly short on time, money, and mental bandwidth, that means so much more than they will ever know. I was raised Lutheran(Missouri Synod), and before going to Christland, we attended a big, multi-location, non-denominational church. I had an amazing foundation for my faith growing up, and the non-denominational church- with its teachings- gave me a wonderful, new perspective on God’s love for me, as it grew my faith a little more. However, something was missing. My children and I, didn’t have a community there that encouraged true friendships and relationships through small groups- or just simply doing life together! Christland does an incredible job of teaching AND living out the Bible as a church family, and that has been transformative to my faith. Here, you will learn and experience what it truly means to love your neighbor. I’m forever grateful to the leaders and everyone at Christland that have unceasingly poured into me -and my kids -with an abundance of grace, and no expected return on anything -except that we offer our gratitude to the Lord. I will always recommend this place to anyone praying to look and love more like Jesus. ♥️
