  I did not have a good experience with this church. I was introduced to the church through an ex-girlfriend, and around the same time missionaries also began coming to my door encouraging me to attend and eventually join. I went several times with my ex-girlfriend when she was having financial trouble, and I saw the church help her. I also respected that they appeared to help other people in the community when needs came up, so I attended off and on. Over the next several months, the missionaries continued visiting my home and encouraging me to join permanently. I was seriously considering membership and began discussing baptism and teachings with them. During that period, I lost my job and started facing financial burdens. I humbled myself and asked the church for help, but I was told they do not do that—even though I had personally seen assistance given in other situations. To be clear, I understand they do not owe me anything. Even after being told no, I still continued attending and kept working with the missionaries toward baptism and membership. Then, after that, I was told the church wanted to “watch me for a while” because I had a felony conviction in my past. That surprised me because they had known my background from the beginning while still actively encouraging me to join. What bothered me most was that when I asked for a clear explanation of how this change in treatment was biblical or scripture-based, I did not get one. From my understanding of the Bible, Jesus and the apostles did not require people to be “watched for a while” before acceptance or baptism. For example, Jesus told the man on the cross, “today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43), and there are examples in Acts where people were baptized immediately once they believed (Acts 8:36–38; Acts 16:33). Because of that, the sudden scrutiny felt like a double standard, and I felt emotionally misled. For those reasons, I decided not to continue attending, and I have not been back since.

  My family has attended church here for the last 29 years. From the first Sunday we felt as though we were welcomed home. There are two congregations that meet in this building and we have attended both. They are both warm and welcoming and the meetings are very spiritual. The lessons in Sunday School for adults and youth, and in the primary organization for the children are Christ-centered. There are a lot of activities for the youth in addition to their early morning gospel study before school each day. This is a wonderful church to attend.
