Pastor Joel is a true man of GOD. I had only been going to this church for about 5 weeks since moving here from Ohio, when I desperately needed to talk to someone while going through some rough times in my life. Even though Pastor Joel had just finished the first AM service and was getting ready for the next one, as I approached him to talk to him about how upset I was and I began to cry as I spoke, he was genuinely concerned for me and gave me time to talk. He stood there and really listened to me and offered me encouraging words for how to handle this situation and just being there talking to him and hearing what he had to say, as how GOD is working when sometimes we don’t feel like he is. He then asked to pray for me, and I could FEEL GODS PRESENCE !! I was truly moved and just felt so much better just by talking to him. If you are looking for a church where you know GOD is present, this church is for you!! They make you feel like family, and Pastor Joel truly cares. God bless Him
