alan cline Pastor Joel is great gives great message from God close welcoming church Sunday service at 10 am

Liza Zajdzinski Wojtecki This church is the best church I have ever attended. Its a very biblically based church. Dont come here if you want your ears tickled and feel good sermons. Come here if you want to be equipped to go out into the world as Jesus commanded. The pastor shares the truth in love but will not Waiver. He stands firm on the Word of God. If your looking for a healthy solid church this is it! This church has a congregation with a bunch of broken people who are Christ followers learning to live and love like Jesus does. You will be loved when you walk in the doors. This isnt a church that entertains with fluff but equips its saints to share the truth in love in a very evil lost world.

G D My family and I have been coming to this church since the beginning of this year and we love it. If you’re looking for a Christian church with sound biblical teachings, look no further, all are welcomed.

Judy Zimmerman Enjoyed the worship service and sermon.The A Capella singing of the entire congregation was very uplifting.They have a great nursery area close to the womens restroom just off the main auditorium which appeared very helpful for women with very young children and infants. They have Bible study classes for all ages prior to the main worship service. The minister is very friendly and helpful. I plan to go back when I am in Joliet.

Dharma Dee This is an awesome church! The very min I walked through those doors I was warmly greeted. My husband and I had went to their free Christmas dinner and the minister had cooked all of the fixings and trimmings and it was delicious! They also have wonderful free programs for kids and provided free food for them as well. Both pastors there are very warm and friendly. The congregation was really nice too. I was so impressed with this church that I decided to make it my home church now.

Laurie Blatnicky Over two months ago, I decided I needed to go back to church. I had been missing that in my life. I decided to get back to my religion, which is Methodist. I have been pulled towards this church for a year now. So I get up & went to church & the service that day seemed to be just for my ears only. It’s was about making choices in your life. I could not believe my ears. The next week it was about a new journey that I was going to have to take. Just then, I decided I have to become a member of this church. The Pastor’s are both Incredible. The congregation is Amazing. I knew then, that I had to became a member of this Church family. I am going to become a member of the church this month. I can not be more excited. I searched out 3 different churches before I even went to church & Pastor Terri answered my call for help. I am so grateful to have these Amazing Pastors in my life now. The service they provided for me when I needed someone to talk too. The open door policy that Pastor Linny has provided for me when I needed to feel Safe & at peace. I am not even a member yet. The Lord Jesus & God, I thank you So Much for putting me back on the right path. Thanks to the Incredible Pastors that I owe a lot too. For leaning me a ear when I needed it the most.

Teresa Bratcher I love my church and church family! I love the music and the Biblical preaching! I love our ladies group and seniors group! All are welcome!

Gail Schoenbeck Attended my great nieces play Frozen!! She and the play was Awesome!!

Mrs. Orozco As a person that goes a lot to the super market to shop I seen that this church open . I have never understood why so many churches open new and never stay open 24 hours to help the homeless or the teens that fight or argue with parents some were were they can stay to feel safe or destress why do we have a church that represents God if you don’t help his lambs Lambs of god why do we close our door wen we know we have people persons out there in this weather sleeping outside in the streets what is humble about that open your door to homeless to mothers teens how holy or hopeful are you if you have no compassion for others this goes to all the churches of the world a church is for heeling for resting and for feeling safe why do you need all that space for it to be close God must be sad to know that the people that preach can even open the doors to the ones in need. Sorry just my opinion

Jessica Shaw VBS was done so well for kids. Everyone seemed so happy and genuine!

Charlene Heinz I love whener this place has their church rummage sale!

I Jill Sunday Great place to worship. Pastor is outstanding.

Daniel Heberer Pastor Bob preaches in a highly relatable and often humorous way, always Bible centered. He is very caring and personable, a rare gem of a man you can call pastor.

Ellen Smith The people there are very kind and caring. Pastor Bob, preaches so that it is easily understood!

Rebekah Surges My son loves their VBS program!

Karin Kendzora Beautiful old church- I attend the Police Memorial Mass every year

Anali Nava Good church they were teaching beautiful things but me and my family are mexican and many people were giving us dirty looks and at the end we came up to one of the minister for a question and he just stared at us and walked away.

Rosa Juarez Such a peaceful place. we found home… father Chris is wonderful and makes everyone feel welcome. The entire community is absolutely welcoming and warm

Aaron Weinert First time I showed up, I didnt know what to expect. Everyone was very polite and welcoming. I highly recommend this Church. Fr. Mykola is a very nice, and wise man. Dn. Dave is very polite, and friendly. Everyone at this parish is willing to help out newcomers. The people here are basically my family. If you have any questions there will always be someone who can help you. The Liturgy is amazing, and Vespers is another great service. Those 2 are great for the soul. Amazing choir, and beautiful iconography. You can easily see the fruits of the Holy Spirit here. This place has helped me out a lot. Im pretty introverted, but this place has helped improve my social life. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to reach out. One message our parish has every week, "If you are without a spiritual home, please make OUR HOME, YOUR HOME". If youd like to attend the service is upstairs.

Евгений Чепурняк thanks to all parishioners. we all pray for peace in Ukraine and for world peace. join our Sunday prayers. thanks to father Nicholas.

Richard Rogge I have stumbled along the journey of faith for about 15yrs. After all that time I have finally found my way to Orthodoxy, a place I have suspected I was headed for a long time. This Church is very warm and welcoming, with approachable & knowledgeable clergy, and friendly parishioners. I would HIGHLY recommend giving it a try.

Rick Livings First time Ive been in a a Catholic church. (Im not Catholic) Although somewhat nervous, I was very impressed. The Priest gave a short, to the point, funeral mass. The church is extremely beautiful, inside and out. Parking is only fair, especially close to the church.

Michael Cramer Beautiful old church. The stained glass windows are amazing and the interior is very elegant.

Joe B Beautiful church, both priests friendly and give good messaging. Less then an hour service. Parking is limited.

Serjio Acevedo I appreciate all the masses offered En Español. Very friendly and engaging priest, especially on Mother’s Day 2024.

Lorena Hernandez Mount Carmel church has Great Congregations

Luis G Mancera Been going here since I was a 6. Great place.

Stephanie Rose Messiah is a wonderful church. There are activities for all ages so the whole family can get involved . Its such a welcoming church and the pastors genuinely care about their congregation. Every Sunday there are traditional services and family worship so its easy to find the right service for you. Plus the new Family Life Center is providing even more opportunities for outreach and fellowship!

Izak Richmond Wonderful services and pastors. Great youth ministry setup. Beautiful building and inspiring staff and congregation.

David Stier Wonderful friendly people. Gods truth is preached with love. Several different styles of worship. A very active church for all ages!

John Warpinski Fr. Karl is the best. Great sermons and the community is really nice and supportive

Oliverio Govea It is a beautiful Catholic Church in the open, where you can see the sun set.

Ana Hurm The church is a little more modern in its structure, but Fr Carl is very traditional, has a good sense of humor witch blends lovely. Jet, his dog is very well behaved and very welcoming. The community is lovely. Musical director Mark is well versed and talented as well as flexible and welcoming, and very encouraging. His selection of musuc while a bit challenging at times is lovely and pushes skills and talents to grow, which I highly appreciate and respect. A sign of a man with an extensive teaching background. He is personable and always closes practice with prayer.

Trevur Beutiful church, baby blue inside is cool, surprisingly small amount of pews. The priest was pretty good for the wedding mass.

Kristen Drysch I went to grade school here, so I feel a sense of comfort when I attend church, but things were a lot different since I have been in school. There is much competition and unchurch-like happenings going on in this church. Very Bizarre. No parishioners should care about what type of vehicle another parishioner is driving. Covetousness is problematic because it might lead to the committing of other sins. Coveting is a grievous sin in its own right, and the tenth commandment is specifically named as one of the ten transgressions we are commanded to avoid. Its a beautiful church and the Priests are kind and welcoming, but the folly of the parishioners is anything but Christ-like... more like Chris-like. #holdthebaklava

Seymour Fields Beautiful church with a lot of the "Old Joliet" Charm to it. I was baptized, here. Though Ive moved on to another parish, I still come every year for the Christmas Eve service. Very welcoming people.

Stephanie Poulos This is a beautiful church that cares about the community. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. They have free events to the public through out the year, (egg hunt, trunk or treat, pancake breakfasts, etc) There is also a micro food pantry by the Western entrance. If you’re looking for a new church home, check it out.

Mike I visited this church a few years ago with a couple friends and weve been coming ever since. I especially like that they didnt force beliefs upon be, and that they have SO MANY positive activities each week/month, like game night, movie night, family dinner night, trunk n treat on halloween, as well as many others.

Cindy Awarf My family has been to practically every church within a 15 mile radius of this church. All Christian of course, since there is only 1 true God. I was invited there by one of my students to see her play. From the moment we stepped in the door we were made part of the family. Everyone perceived us as part of their church family & we werent made to feel like new comers under a magnifying glass. They have 2 morning services which works well for those that have to work on Sunday. I wish they had a night service for those that have to open up at the businesses where they work. The church doesnt appear to have any clicks of people that make you a part of their group or not, I guess its because they havent adopted the small group project like so many other churches that I feel causes these clicks. Instead they have a mid-week family night. A fine meal is served along with dessert before everyone breaks off into their appropriate age groups. This works GREAT! It reenergizes people to get through there work week. In our group we get to vent & be consoled without feeling judged by others. We go over a book, Not necessarily one from the bible, but one that holds Christian values. Its a great time for all. My children especially like the youth group leader:Karissa Fleming for presenting things in new ways, keeping things interesting & fun through group projects & outings. This is something we could not find at other churches & we feel it is a good reason why church attendance is down in many area churches. I invite you to come out & try it. If you cant make it this Sunday, come Weds. at 5pm.
