The Church at Clayton Crossings — Attraction in Clayton

The Church @ Clayton Crossings mission is simple, to help people find and follow Jesus. I have struggled with faith in God, well, believing in Him really, for my entire life. The Holy Spirit is truly present here in this community and in this Church! I was able to have an open mind and heart as I walked the path of salvation.

They offer so many programs to help the congregation AND the community. For me personally, the people that God has put in place here are incredible! From the Pastoral team, to the general staff, and especially the Director of Day Care and Director of "Kid Min", everyone is there to help. I had signed up for a 'Starting Point' class after attending with my wife and daughters for over a year, myself being a non-believer at the time. I felt immediately at home and could feel my heart opening up.

"Starting Point" class is where you openly and honestly discuss you lack of faith and belief or your current state of faith and those struggles. Well, to say the least, that class has changed my life FOREVER, eternity actually.

I was overcome with the spirit and finally took the hint and I was saved. It has been a crazy amazing journey and I have to thank God for placing my family at The Church @ Clayton Crossings. All glory to God!

This Church and the team there have become family and have fulfilled their mission in my life and the lives of many others. I am in an exponentially better position in this earthly life because of their dedication, support, and generosity.

I know that this Church may not be for everyone and that is perfectly OK. God will put you where you need to be, when you need to be there. Please come check it out and see if its a...

Here was my experience over the last 5 months of attending Church at Clayton Crossing:

I started in June. Community groups were promoted during the service by the pastor and in a community group pamphlet dated June 2018. I arrived at the location and time listed to find out it and others were cancelled for the summer. I emailed all the groups to find out if any were meeting. Less than half responded to my emails. Almost all were cancelled.

I attended several different Sunday morning bible studies. Several were not where they were listed, the information desk didn’t have accurate information about where and when they were they were moved, and the classes typically started 15-20 minutes after the stated time because many members showed up that late. An entire class was cancelled for the week because the leader was out of town, but the only way to know it was cancelled was to be on the email list, so visitors, beware. Study was cancelled and replaced with social time in one class, so bible study isn’t always bible study. Most of the classes I attended didn’t have teachers, they used video instruction and the leader led a discussion of materials written by the same company doing the video instruction.

When pointing these things out the information desk and pastors, the response is, “growing pains.” Growing pains have nothing to do with communicating clearly, starting on time, studying the bible during bible study time, keeping the information desk and website up to date with changes, finding a substitute to lead discussion after video instruction, and having at least one community group available on site with rotating teachers if necessary during...

I enjoyed my first visit and wven thiught that this could be home. There was a lady that sang on the stage and she literally shared her testimony of alcoholism from stage and then sang a song that would touch anyone's heart. We continued going for several weeks. I became ill and I asked the church if they helped people financially. I had an active eviction notice and an electricity disconnect. I filled out a benevolence form, was told someone would call me within 48 hours, and never heard from anyone. A month later I called again to.inquire about my request for help. Someone called me back about a week later. They sounded very non-challantly concerned. He said he would call me back to see how they could help. They never called back to even just say that they couldn't help. For someone so about the community, they sure left some members behind. I was facing eviction with 3 kids. 1 lives in a mental health facility. I was unemployed due to losing my job over my daughter's Dr appts. I almost lost a child to suicide more times than I can count this year. I just needed some help. And still do but I know who won't help. Sadly. I thought this was going to be church home. I was already signed up to volunteer in their special needs program. The rating isn't because they didn't help but how they went about it and made me feel so insignificant and small.

I only gave 2 stars because of the singing and testimony I heard...
