★★★★★
“This is a great KJV bible teaching church. I bring my family here each week. They were very welcoming the first time we came and not in a over bearing kind of way. No awkwardness. I highly recommend this church.”
★★★★★
“My family is looking for a new church and we decided to check out Gethsemane Church. I've watched many services online so I knew a bit about their traditional values. They sing from hymns and teach & preach from KJV. Everybody we met were very friendly. There's a nice mixture of different age groups too. They don't do public offerings and do fundraisers instead. I think it's a great place to check out and I look forward to going back!”
★★★★★
“We have been going to different Churches trying to find one that felt rite and felt at home. Immediately when we came into Gethsemane we felt at home and welcomed and felt like Family. We love it here not only is it a great place for us and somewhere where we can feel the Lords Presence it is also a great place for our Four little ones with lots of stuff for them to do as well. Every single person came up and introduced themselves and made us feel very Welcomed. Pastor Nate is Amazing and when he speaks you can feel the Lord Jesus Christ through him. Thank you all so much for making us feel welcome!”
