5 /5 Finn Ackerson: AWESOME CHURCH!
This church, which I have been going to for over a year and a half now, has been so great. I’m 17 currently and volunteer/attend youth group at this church and their Crossroads campus. My youth pastors are so nice and welcoming (shout out to Conner and Taylor) and make the youth group experience so great, the first time I went everyone immediately started showing me around as if I was a celebrity or something. They took an effort to meet me for coffee to listen to what was going on in my walk with God in my life.
I’ve met some great friends there. The volunteering has been so great too, I’m in the A/V technology lab. every Sunday I leave at 6 am to head in and prepare to serve changing lyric slides and mixing audio channels/panning cameras. The tech lounge has 30 different screens and is very cool indeed. Props to Aaron for his technological know-how!
My favorite memories will always be the mornings when I get to see a beautiful sunset as I drive down an empty interstate highway to volunteer, and those late nights where my car is the last one in the youth group parking lot, because I’m the last one there.
The pastor’s (usually Mike Woodruff’s) sermons are liberating, and encourage me to look at my life in a different light. The worship songs immediately cheer me up. Their recent “Black History Month” concert’s music was tear-inducingly uplifting. Shoutout to Dustin, Kristin, Gloria and Drew, the main Christ Church singers.
My life has Improved so much after finding this wonderful church. My grades have been going up and I’ve become less socially awkward and withdrawn. Every time l Leave, I get this good feeling that colors my whole Sunday. I feel like I’m on top of the world. At this church, the people I’m surrounded by remind me that truly good-hearted people do exist, and restore my faith in humanity.
I’d highly recommend Christ Church to anyone who is trying to discover God’s goodness and grace again, or wants to provide their children with a truly life-changing and special Christian education and upbringing. The events, music, pastors, and people are wonderful. I have no complaints whatsoever.
