Pastor Andy teaches and lives by the Word! We are a growing church because we put God first. So happy to call Upward my church!

The members are the most friendly and so helpful. So very welcoming. The pastors preach from the Bible and explain everything so you understand. Great place to bring your children.

I love this church . Everything about it is wonderful . I've been going for 8 yrs. So blessed to be a part of the family there and call it my family church. I love the worship , love the message ❤️ and Pastor Andy is a wonderful pastor and he's funny. Makes you feel like you belong. I enjoy going and taking my family. Thank you, Lord, for leading me (us) there.

WOW. What can you say other than WOW. Me and my wife went here today to visit with some friends and we were blown away from the moment we pulled in the parking lot being greeted with a wave and a smile from being greeted at the door with a so glad to see you all this morning. The music is amazing and the preaching is absolutely wonderful. I do believe we have found us a new church. You can feel God's presence soon as you step on this property. Thanks be to God we found a church where you get fed with the word and feel like you are family and most definitely feel God's grace on you. Thanks Upward for making our first visit amazing and hopefully a part of your family to stay here from now on. Looking forward to the next Sunday.

Wonderful church with fantastic leadership. I have been attending for 6 years now and I haven’t found any concerns. They function as a healthy body and actively encourage small connect groups that make up the church as a whole. Pastor Anthony is authentic and kind as he teaches the word. A great place to call home.

Ray D. J.

Nice building, very comfortable.
I was visiting for my two nieces baptism.

Ever since I started attending Upward the beginning of 2021, I've been blessed by the pastoral staff, the worship, the Sunday AM messages, by the mid-week recap of the sermon and by the intergenerational body of believers that attend each week. Pastor Andy and the church board have gathered great, spiritually gifted men and women who serve is different capacities plus they all are gifted speakers who fill in so Pastor Andy has time off to replenish his energies.

Politics do not belong in the church. I pray that the current wave of Christianity in this nation overcome the hate. When more negativity leaves your mouth than positivity, it’s time to take a look inward.

Also- let’s get with the times in 2023 and recognize that mothers look different than what they looked like in the 1900’s. They’re not the submissive wives in a two parent household, they’re single moms. They’re working to provide. They’re parents who could not have biological kids. The church should be representative of the congregation. Very naive and dangerous to promote these outdated ideas.

BIPOC/LGBTQ+ are seemingly not welcomed here.
