“Idk who needs to hear this but I wrote it for you. If you’re looking for a place, I’d encourage you to try this one. I was trying to decide where to try first as I’d had so many not ideal experiences in churches throughout my life and never felt part of the church. I just knew it’d take a while to find one I liked. While searching online I felt a pull to try this one first. This is just my experience and not to discourage you if it the sermon doesn’t hit you the first day, but it hit me like George Foreman hit Michael Moorer, and on the first day. I walked in on exactly what God needed me to hear and fix and I cried every Sunday and worked on myself for 3 months. And no one’s bothered by it.No one bombards you immediately, and I liked that. They were police, welcoming but not up in your business off the bat. 4 months later I’m volunteering. They’re letting me be a part of it and that feels nice. I’m slowly getting my confidence back. The singers in the morning worship just exude the joy I aspired to have again and they’re all beautifully equipped vocally but one especially has been gifted angel vocal cords! I call it a morning concert.High energy, beautifully done worship service that just makes you feel good. To me, and those I’ve invited, they all say they feel the Holy Spirit here. The vibe is just good. I say if you’re unsure where to go, go here. The miracles that have happened for us in these last 4 months is proof enough to me that God is in the room. It is his house after all.The congregation a a whole has just been open and accepting of us. They’ve jumped in and helped with my children in the most respectful way, they’ve helped me clean coffee I spilled during worship in such a way I didn’t have to feel embarrassed or like a problem. Beautiful bunch of people.And lastly, but not least, the Bible can be hard to understand, for sure. But this pastor, will read it to you, and right when I’m thinking “what’s that mean” he’s all like “and that means….”, so Pastor Ryan is an incredible teacher, if you’re wanting to learn and understand, you will get that here.One more lastly, mind you I came in critical but only looking for God. I expected to be judged in my position. Outcast. But these people don’t do that. They testify. They’ll stand up and tell you their worst lows in life - stuff most churches hide, and then how God turned it around. They showed me that all that joy beaming off their faces wasn’t from an easy untroubled life, and I needed to see that. It was from a difficult one with miracles and redemption and salvation. It’s walking through the fire and coming out better. I didn’t need perfect. I needed real. I came to find God and found a community as well. My children with special needs even found community as well. And I’ve found they rarely fit in anywhere. They fit in here and are welcomed and loved. ?And it is well with my soul.”

701 E Stan Schlueter Loop, Killeen“Good church, people are friendly. I just wished that their music was not all "pop" like Christian music, it should have a good variation. I would love to hear some solid Gospel music that would have the people deeply in the Praise. Other than that, this church is pretty awesome, the pastors are willing to speak with you and so are the workers of the church. The word of God is what counts here and that I have received at this church.”
“This body of Christ has added to our lives for years. I am thankful for the welcoming environment and the real-life connections. The Spirit of the Lord is real and moves in this place, and I am thankful that every day, we have the opportunity to walk in this amazing house of God.”
