What Monroe neighbors say about us
"I found my forever home at this church! They truly prove you can come as you are! They stand behind their motto: your story is safe here!!! Down to earth Pastors and staff."
"This church is truly the hands and feet of Jesus and our family couldn't be happier. Our daughter loves the children's ministry and can actually regurgitate the information because it's easy to understand and fun!"
"I was heartbroken to leave my church of 10 yrs. I never expected to find my new church so quickly, but came to Next Level & have made it home. Everyone is “real” — the preacher's sermons are like sitting at the kitchen table with a friend, talking about Jesus."
"I'm not much of a man of faith but I still feel welcome and I still get a ton out of the sermons. Very friendly and passionate group, they do a lot for the community in very meaningful ways."
"Very warm community of people who are inviting. I love their philosophy of helping others before themselves. Putting God's word first!"
"Been here about 3 months. It's been excellent. The congregation is so welcoming."
