Wow! I was blown away with the production and the message. Most importantly, it is the first church service that I have been to that engaged me on every level, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and visually. Pastor Brad Larson does it right. He has heart and wisdom and also is so accepting of all types of people. My only challenge is that I love checking out new churches each week. Guess I may need to break that tradition!

On the surface, this can seem ok and these churches can produce alot of good. But they can also be toxic, following the same patterns that the Church has followed since the days of Solomon and slave labor. This sounds extreme, and it is. I believe that the Church is about engaging people and showing them what it means to BE Jesus. Church is not about big buildings and multitudes of programs for every age group that focus on bringing people "into" churches. I want a church that sends their people out into the world and makes a tangible difference. E3 is that church. They say the band is loud, and it is. Their message is real, just like the people.

I have to say that the people here are warm, welcoming and totally real. A variety of ages, and backgrounds, but a caring, accepting group of people. I've been involved in church my whole life, but have to say that the vision of creating a place where people can be real, experience God without masks and develop strong relationships really resonates with my heart. The music is loud, but good! The band is talented and the messages are really inspiring. I've been challenged to live out my faith and truly understand God's love. E3 Scottsdale is my home church.

I look forward to each week's worship and message, and to see the "funnest" people in Scottsdale! E3 has a very strong outreach ministry, with monthly outings to the homeless shelter, several trips a year to Mexico to build houses, and campaigns to send supplies and funds to orphans in Haiti and Africa. Although the church is small in numbers, it is mighty. The people in our church give and serve like we've got hundreds! Most of all, I love that the message of God's grace is communicated often, in the main service as well as in the children's ministry. Every week you will be reminded of how much God loves you. I love that E3 is so connected on Facebook, too. It's like a community within a community, and we can stay in touch and up to date throughout the week. I have found a home at E3 Scottsdale.
