5 /5 Kate Kelly: First and foremost, this church is incredibly welcoming and inclusive. They will embrace you with open arms regardless of your personal beliefs, sexual orientation, creed, color, gender identity, etc. This is not the type of church that will judge you. They also arent there to indoctrinate you or try to convince you to convert. They arent trying to fill a quota; theyre just happy youre there.
**Brief update: Since lockdown, they have made services available to stream live on Facebook. Its 2022 so the church is open again, but now you also have the option to watch (& even participate to a certain extent) from home.**
My parents started taking me here almost 30 years ago, and now I cant wait to take my own child. The community is so open & welcoming that I truly didnt realize people used religion as a means to judge and tear others down until I was older.
The ministers give amazing sermons, and as the new wave of younger ministers come in I see that same approachability that makes each sermon interesting & easily understandable. Youll be totally involved & rapt in their message (no pun intended). And you wont have to worry that anyone will notice you nodding off because youll truly be interested in what the minister has to say.
The congregation is so kind, warm, and will welcome you with open arms.
Ive attended many difference churches, synagogues, mosques, etc with friends, in other cities, & for religious studies courses in college, and very few rival the warmth and inclusivity of Shepherd of the Hills Christian Church.
