Hollywood Adventist Church

We didn’t know what to expect as we visited from Australia but when we walked in we felt so welcomed and like we belonged.

I have not been there yet, but I wrote email to the Church today regarding my mission and connection with God.

A place in love with Christ and the Father, preaching and ACTUALLY practicing acceptance for all in Christ. No one should be given a negative vibe while searching for their faith or practicing their faith, regardless of who or what they are. God Bless this church as He does all His children.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 Overall: This is one the more progressive Adventist churches I've attended. The church gives a breath of fresh air to those looking for a Christianity that addresses issues that many churches do not, yet does so in a welcoming, supportive, and positive way. If you're looking for great contemporary worship music, this is definitely a place to check out! Hollywood has a great community with church members that welcome everyone, despite their background! Welcomeness: When I entered the church, I was kindly greeted by someone with a smile and given a bulletin. The congregation was also warm and welcoming! Environment (what it looked like) The sanctuary was set up like an open auditorium with cushioned pews. It was well lit with natural lighting. There were many screens for lyrics and announcements which made it great to view from all seating angles. The church's audio and visual system provided great sound and helpful slides which were projected to help the congregation follow along with the songs and the message. The lobby had a cafe feel with tables and chairs. Atmosphere in church (the shared feelings from the building) The church gives a meditative and comfortable atmosphere. The church was 30% filled which made you feel like you had a good deal of space to yourself. Worship Music The worship music, consisting of a full band with guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, and a few vocalists were great! Musicians were well polished and the vocalists sounded great together. There were four contemporary songs in the set that the congregation was very familiar with and participated at a high level. - category: contemporary - instrumentation type: guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, 3 vox - quality: great - crowd engagement: high - duration: 4 songs Sermon The head pastor preached a message that connected with the audience. His message was very contemporary, drawing metaphors and connections from today's events and culture. He had a story-telling delivery drawing stories from his life. Rather than exclusive, his message was welcoming and inclusive to all people, all denominations, and all faiths. The sermon was reflective and thought provoking. - Duration: 11:40-12:05 Service (Order of service) - Opening song - Worship & praise music - Welcome & Greet - Offering / song Demographics - ages: young adult - young professionals - adult - family oriented: few families - attendance: 60-70 - single ethnicity / multiple: plethora of various nationalities including Caucasian, African-American, Pacific Island / Asian, etc - dress / attire: casual - business casual Potluck: provided
