Thrive Church

It's a great church. They have the best intentions for everyone who wants to attend and or participate. They have great programs for all ages. They are progressive and inspirational, but the building itself draws my concern. I do believe they are a bit too theatrical. They have obviously spent a lot of money on their stage and audio/visual equipment. As someone who has a degree in live theatre, I'd say they went overboard and didn’t properly setup the equipment for professional audio quality within the size room they have the congregations. The band has too many participants or the audio mixer isn't properly mixing the sound. 4 singers and the 3 women are over singing the 1 male singer, so you don't hear him. The speakers or amplifiers seem to be only at the front, so the sound is deafening in the front row, but loud enough for a concert in the back row. As a former first responder, I was also concerned with the entryway/exits. There is one primary room, with two double door entryways into one hallway to exits either direction. If an emergency broke out in there over 100 people would easily be trapped inside or trampled on as people attempted to exit in an emergency. For the Mother's day reception at 10 am, which was packed, as we exited a fellow attendee asked to move by me, I backed up, she walked toward me saying excuse me, I backed up until I tripped on something and fell, and she kept walking past me. I wasn't hurt, but it brought to mind how easy a stamped of people, in an emergency, could happen, and how so many would get trampled on. I only visit on holidays with other family members, and I don't believe in organized religion for myself, so I can't speak about all the different programs they have, but from their website, they seem like they are doing good in people's lives. And at the end of the day, in a church, that is what you want. A table open to all, doesn't judge at the table, and trying to help those around the table.

The worship was intense and definitely the spirit on fire. Message was on point. Very powerful love the humor preacher has. The Joy of the spirit is a big plus.
