"Looking for a "home church". Visited on 10/25/20. Pastor Josh and his wife Rachel greeted us on entry and again as we left after the service, and thanked us for coming. Really enjoyed the sermon. He preached on John 4 and I could really relate to the message. Other church members were also very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going back."
