SCV Survey Results (32 results)

Age Range

Some general encouragement Nice to see a younger congregation I love our church community – I’m challenged and comforted… Thanks for being a welcoming community – you can come as you are I’m speechless to say how grateful I am I completely appreciate the welcoming warmth of this church. It is very encouraging to all - lovely, intelligent and fun

More general encouragement It makes my heart glad to attend a church and be part of a community that focuses on loving people and accepting people for who they are now and not for who they could or should be I’m so glad that I’ve found SCV at this point in my life I just really love this church family Thanks for the pastors and staff – there’s no place I’d rather be

More general encouragement The last year or so has not been an easy one in our community. In spite of this, our leadership continues to move forward with grace, patience and kindness. This example is a beautiful testimony to the love of Jesus in our midst. Please know that the sacrifices and the faithfulness you have shown has been both noticed and appreciated. I’d like to move there when I retire…
