The Alliance - A Church For Yakima - Yakima (WA)

1 /5 Joe Dirt: The greeters have been trained to make you feel welcome. Once you get into a community group you see how the true structure of the church works. Group leaders meet with pastor once a week to report on groups progress. Come as you are we will change you. Church overall is very controlled and cliquesh. If you can get in a clique its great. If you are deemed not worthy it can be a very lonely place. Dance in the church like a crazy person during service and you will be made a group leader.

5 /5 Code Phox: The church is a very large building and world faith is so important, with such changes in time and differences in beliefs - the method of preaching to convince relevance is a talent!

5 /5 Lou Edwards: I went to an NA meeting held there Tues. from 6-7, not the church, per se. But I can state that the grounds and building are so nice. Its great that the church hosts Recovery meetings. Also in church basement was a thriving & busy group. I think it was dance instruction for kiddos.

2 /5 Dennis Apken: The church is beautiful. When I go there I only get surface level nice. No one really talks to me its all fake nice. I tried to get in the pastors secret community group but was rejected. I tried to get my daughter into the ballerina school but they said I had to wait. I tried to go to one of the pastors fun looking partys at his house but its only for the cool kids. The pastors wife is very distant and cold she has never talked to me. I am stumped how to break the ice at Alliance?

4 /5 tina Tyrrell: I really wanted to love this church . I have been to a lot of churches in my life . We attended a handful of times . Met the pastor and was prayed for a few times . Always left there feeling awkward. At one point during communion , we were in the front next to the pastors family . He had mentioned if anyone was alone to ask them to join your group. He proceeded in prayer over the communion and let us stand there by ourselves . We felt awkward and invisible, right next to the pastor and his family . We felt so unwelcome . Not every place is the right fit I suppose. I pray for the people that go there to feel the love of Jesus when they are there , unfortunately I had to go elsewhere to find it.
