The Central Community Church is a blessing in disguise for our family as we were able to celebrate Sunday service here during our family get together at Niagara on the lake. We arrived early to check in our grandkids who were really excited to meet other kids at their Sunday school. I noticed that there was a counter to buy coffee for those who rushed on an empty stomach. I believe it feels like a mega church. The hall was full and the foyer had a great, warm atmosphere of fellowship. The Sunday service started right on time. The praise and worship was full of joy! The sound system was awesome highlighting the good quality of vocals of the worship music. The Pastor was God-sent delivering the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Transforming our lives was the focus of the preaching. The Bible is a strong foundation of the preaching and it was embodied throughout the entire service. My family and I were spiritually nourished. Thank you and may the Lord continue to sustain, bless and provide the needs of your church! Highly...

I will never again attend a market here. Please vet vendors so you don't have satanic/new age items being sold in the same space you worship the next...

I remember when my wife stopped going to church. I attended every week and was on the platform to lead worship twice a month. However it was almost 9 months before anyone even realize she was gone. It was ridiculous and that happened in Southridge Community Church. Oh they will always have an excuse for that kind of stuff. But thats big church!
Well surprise! Jesus also attends small churches! I know it's just great! Who knew?
Anyway I think you get...
