Somerville Baptist Church

Gena and I both enjoy every aspect of Sommerville Baptist church! They preach the gospel! It's so exciting to be there! Warm, friendly people, so many ministries, outreaches, loving everyone and showing HOPE for all.

I was reading past reviews and had to take exception to a negative comment made about the music and the pastor. My husband is a worship leader at another church. To the best of his ability, he tries to mix the type of music (both contemporary and traditional) and we also sing to "canned music." As such, he also meets with different opinions as to what he "should" be doing in order to make an atmosphere of worship. Did the individual who didn't like the music offer up any solutions to how the music could be "improved?" And as far as the pastor, did this individual privately speak to the pastor expressing their concerns? As church leaders, we strive to serve God to the best of our abilities, but we are only human. Any servant would welcome constructive criticism, but an attack on an entire church is unnecessary. On a personal note, I think very highly of Somerville Baptist Church and many of its members. My daughter attends the Good News Club that is offered after hours (and completely voluntary) at her school. All the GNC workers give of their time to bring the gospel to children who are hungry to hear it. My daughter has also attended a service with her best friend and could not stop talking about how much she enjoyed the pastor's message (yes, a 7 year old child actually LISTENED), the music and the kindness ("everyone was so nice to me Mommy") of so many. I LOVE my home church, which is NOT Somerville Baptist. I just felt compelled to write a review from someone who is not a church member and has no loyalties there, only admiration for a church on fire for Jesus Christ.

Somerville Baptist Church!!! Ah, just saying it brings a smile to my face. It is the place where my family loves to be!!! It is a place where we can go and be accepted for who we are, Sinners Saved By Grace!! The Lord has blessed Somerville Baptist Church with such a wonderful Pastor whose vision is so greatly focused on reaching people outside the church doors and really teaching the ones inside the church doors. Pastor Shane's biblical messages have truly challenged me to be a better christian and have helped pave a good foundation for my children to grow on. There are so many ministries to be involved in for any season of life you are in. Even my children are able to serve in the church and by a part of reaching others for Christ. I am currently going through a discipleship program and am learning more 'in depth' knowledge to growing as a believer. God's spirit is truly present each time we walk in the doors. His infinite love shines through the people, staff and leaders at Somerville Baptist Church. I love being part of a church that loves ALL kinds of people and wants to reach ALL kinds of people and wants to serve ALL kinds of people and accepts ALL kinds of people!!!!! We are not perfect, but it sure is a wonderful place to belong to!!!!! I LOVE MY CHURCH!!!!!!!!!

Words can't express how much my church and church family mean to me! I started visiting this church several years ago through the Somerville Baptist Preschool and Summer Program. I was so impressed with not only the loving nurturing my kids received, but also the Godly examples who were teaching my kids daily. Somerville Baptist has made me and my children feel welcome from day one! As a single mom of two children, sometimes people can be quick to judge your situation. Never,ever have I felt like this here! Nothing but welcome with open arms! From the choir, to Life Groups, to Teens/Kids involvement, to the TRUE preaching of God's Word...I LOVE MY CHURCH!! Our pastoral staff truly cares about you and your families! Pastor Lewis brings me to tears almost every Sunday! Sometimes the truth from God's Word is what you need to hear, and I love it!! I joined this church as a full active member in 2013 and it was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made! If you are looking for a church, come visit! God is working in amazing ways at Somerville Baptist!
