A friend of ours by the name of Pastor Don Rosentrettor who is a missionary to Houstonia had visited Columbia one time and was an acquaintance of Pastor Tim. He said since you guys are moving to Columbia, go check out Alive in Christ. I think you will really enjoy going there. We stay here because of the love of the people, the spiritual nourishment we get from Pastor Tim and everybody in the congregation. It drew us here and is keeping us here.

Bob and I found our home at Alive In Christ because in the first place, it is a Christ-centered, bible-based church. In the second place, we found it to be very friendly. I think they cut away any of that stuff you don't need. I believe that we found lifetime relationships here that are Christ-centered. We love it, it's friendly, it's comfortable and we're here to stay.

After marrying my sister-in-law in 1999, I moved to Columbia from Dayton, Ohio. We realized we had to find a new church home. Being a life-long Lutheran, I wanted to find a Lutheran Church. Dulane was Baptist so we looked at Baptist Churches too. We finally came to Alive In Christ. We both liked what we saw the first time. We came back and liked it more. We ultimately ended up taking the Newcomer's Class and joined the church and we've been here since.
