I grew up in this church and visited a couple of times because I was going to school nearer Manistee than my home church. From the moment I first walked through the doors I felt like I was at home, with all of the love shown me. I've been attending since 2008, and to this day I can't wait until the next time I can be there with the people that I now consider family. This is the church that my husband and I intend to raise our baby boy up in. Generally speaking, the first thing that anyone mentions when visiting Manistee is the warm welcome and ready love that we share with anyone. Typically a newcomer is welcomed with a hug, or at the very least a warm handshake. After services everyone can expect friendly, genuine conversation over a good meal.
