Searchlight Fellowship

I received a flyer for «Godflix» in the mail today. The design is clearly intended to mimic/​plagiarize Netflix. Now, I know that my religious views are well outside mainstream, but this, to me, was grotesquely offensive. I have contacted Netflix to make sure they are aware of this abuse of their trademark. Hopefully they will take action.

Searchlight has changed my life. Until coming to searchlight and meeting Nancy, I felt empty, lonely and broken. Finding God has brought me happiness for, perhaps, the first time in my life and I am truly a changed person. For the first time in my life I have positive, deep and meaningful relationships with people and with Jesus and God!
I was raised in a Christian family but I never liked going to church because it was boring and had no connection or meaning in my life. Every church I had been to before always taught fear and that I had to be a perfect Christian. This is not that kind of church. Searchlight focuses on God’s unwavering love. It is a church that preaches love and grace and not fear. It teaches us that instead of being afraid to make mistakes, to embrace them. We are human and mistakes and failures are what help us to grow and learn as people and through it all God will never stop loving us. You do not need to be perfect because Jesus loved all people. The sick and the poor and unclean people ran to Jesus and he loved them.
Pastor Nancy is like no pastor I have ever seen. She makes her sermons real, interesting, connected and moving.
I cannot express in words how much this church means to me and how blessed and happy I feel to have found such an amazing community.
I love it here!

How is is possible to write a review for a place that has changed your life? For years, I grew up in a traditional church — where fear was the driver of religion. Searchlight is all about love, community and support. It’s safe and loving and puts God’s word into today’s living. I cannot express the awesomeness of this fellowship in words. You just have to come and hear Nancy for yourself. But beware … you go once, and your life will be changed forever. Are you ready for that? Are you ready to have the support of kind, loving, generous people in your life?

God and God’s people; it’s a simple formula, but Searchlight Fellowship is a church that has placed it at the core. Searchlight Fellowship has redefined the way I approach my life as well as relationships. There are absolutely amazing people here.
When I first came, I struggled immensely with being around people, and allowing others to care for me. I couldn’t feel anything except fear. I had a hard time seeing where God fit into the picture. What I found was that Searchlight provided logical answers speaking directly to my heart, and opening it over time, but what I love the most is that through their love, and grace, I have been able to experience God for the first time. I was reborn.
Searchlight has become an important part of my life since my first Seeker’s Retreat where I discovered that I had buried many pains of my past that haunted me, but allowing the love of Jesus Christ to fill the areas of pain through others.
There is no such thing as «I have arrived.» Searchlight continues to thrive is growing many through safe relationships in Jesus Christ. Everyone is always a phone call away, and accessible.
I will always be thankful for my pastor, Nancy. She has embodied the love spoken of in the Bible. She doesn’t give up. She thrives, and lifts many through her humble and loving spirit, and all of this started from a simple invitation I decided to take a leap of faith on. Best decision ever. Grand, is what I would call it.

Through this church, God has rocked my world! I’ve been a Christian almost all of my life but I didn’t really KNOW God or Jesus. When I started coming to Searchlight I started to really learn more and found out I was loved unconditionally and God wasn’t a dictator in the sky. I developed deep and meaningful friendships with those at Searchlight and never felt unaccepted or unwelcomed. This church meets you where you are at, wherever you are at in your walk of life.
The Wednesday night service is the highlight of each week for me! I love hearing the truth about God and his word, seeing radical positive changes in those around me and I’m able to be happy or sad yet still be accepted. I also attend the Sunday Women’s Fellowship which has really fostered my personal growth and has deepened my relationship with other women. I can be real and share the ups and downs of life. I love the culture of Searchlight because it’s all about being real and taking off the «masks» we all wear. This helps us to see the real love of Jesus and helps us to grow into the best we can be!

I have been to two or three of their function to support a friend of mine. This is a small church but has a big message. My friend seems to love it and they have all really helped her with finding herself, God and Jesus Christ… They are all very nice and welcoming. I will be attending their Dating retreat in March so I will let you all know how it goes :)

I have been attending Searchlight Fellowship for many years, and I love it! The people are amazing and open and welcoming. I have never felt safer in a church environment. I have learned a lot about God, Christ, serving others, and about myself. And I LOVE the praise and worship!!!

Love this church!
I’ve met amazing people here. They have small group fellowships for men and women on Sunday’s (which rock and are life changing) and their main service is on Wednesday’s. The pastor, Nancy, is an amazing teacher and the message always hits my heart. They’ve helped me develop a personal relationship with God and Christ which has promoted healing and growth in many areas of my life.
