Note: tithes and offerings may be done with physical gifts dropped in the baskets which get passed around, at a website, or at a kiosk onsite that's equipped with an interface similar to an iPad. At kiosk and website, it is possible to contribute as a guest without needing to either log in or to create a profile. Related note: this location is equipped with free Wi-Fi. It was working, and easy to connect to during this visit.
In addition to a brightly-lit sign, there were banners on each side of the driveway, so that the location is easy to locate. Once on campus, easy to follow signs direct traffic to guest parking, childcare drop off, and the main auditorium.
Greeters and ushers kept things moving along nicely, but the auditorium was already darkened well before the service began, creating a fear of tripping.
The temperature, ambience; the overall atmosphere in the auditorium was comfortable. Chairs are convention style with plenty of cushion. The floor is painted, glazed concrete.
Time of visit: 11:30a
I love this church and atmosphere... I've changed my life around because of how much love I felt from my fellow worshippers and pastor...
As a man who is not a regular church-goer I highly recommend anyone and everyone to come by and experience the positive and motivational words that for some may elicit a permanent change in their lives.
Day of visit: September 10
The worship team returns to the stage for a final number. Before and after, an invitation is given to counsel with a prayer warrior. At least four people were lined up across the front of the auditorium below the stage.
Come as you are....and they mean it. Truly focused on leading common people into Uncommon life in Jesus.
The preacher/teacher (who on this visit happened to be the pastor and "set man" of the organization - Jeff Harris) had an excellent command of the scriptures. He also was engaging, and connected well with the audience. He elicited feedback from them to ensure that they were attentive and were grasping the subject of that day's message. A personal Bible is not required, as the quoted scriptures are displayed on the video monitors. These monitors were well placed and the font and background made for painless reading. Contemporary English Bible (CEB) was the version used.
The worship experience was the same as thousands of other contemporary American fellowships. The band consists of one keyboard, one drum set, two singers (both female), and way more guitars than would be needed to do the job. Caleb the leader was lively and engaged. He connected well with the audience (congregants), and communicated with his musicians. About two songs in, a member of the staff gives a short word welcoming visitors (the usual sign-up form is cleverly known as "The Ticket") while the music portion is still in progress; at that time, a meet and greet commences. This might be jarringly off-putting to those accustomed to an "entering in" experience. After that, the offering is collected quietly and unobtrusively while the song service resumes.
Rather than sitting conspicuously on the stage, all leadership sit among the audience. They walk up to the stage when their part is required, then sit back down.
It never fails. I come to Grace Point Church and the pastor hits me with a theme align and the word that digs deep inside of me and connects in a frequency that is very relevant to my life. I'm not your usual church-goer that's the truth. Every once in awhile though I need some uplifting words especially with some of the trials and tribulations that we go through in life.
Exiting the campus is facilitated by uniformed personnel.
I got baptised there today and on the next step to following Christ afterwards the church has a turkey bowl and I won a Xbox 1s the best and blessed day of my life
Mr. Harris has a modest, humble demeanor. At one point, he became emotional and teared up, showing a human, down-to-earth side. The congregants responded well to the message, applauding and giving vocal assent without needing to be promoted.
It doesn't matter if you're Catholic or Jewish or you just plain don't believe. Words are words and the words spoken in this building are meant to uplift the human Spirit or the psyche.
