Woodland Hills Church — Attraction in Maplewood

This was my first time visiting this church today for service, I got there a half an hour before service and I was immediately greeted by people from the church I was welcomed with open arms I immediately felt like I belong there I was offered to join their morning sermon discussion they have one every Sunday before mass at 10:00 a.m. they also serve coffee and water I enjoy the live bands I enjoyed the sermon from the mass it was very moving and very close to home with some personal things that I've been through and to be so able to relate to what they were preaching about I like that it was modern day church it was not boring it was very uplifting everyone there was very welcoming and I just want to say as a first time visitor thank you for welcoming and I feel like I have my forever home at a church and definitely will be back again.

Many churches went back to services but they still had their doors closed. A church who valued community gatherings and created home churches remained online for up...

I read one review that said the lack of stained glass and vaulted ceilings were a bad thing. Contrary to that I feel this is a very good thing. As most aspects of this church, the focus is the actual Word of God. Not the building it's presented in. Many of the messages that come from WHC are not comforting to listen to. This is also a good thing.

As for being Baptist, you wouldn't know it from the look and feel of the church. People come on Sunday dressed up nice in their Sunday clothes as well as in army pants and combat boots covered in tattoos. All are truly...
