David Staton
I've attended several churches before and Alps Road Presbyterian is the best. The church is Bible centered and is filled with lots of friendly and genuine people. I feel very welcomed there. There's also plenty of classes, Bible studies and fun events that the church hosts. They also have a daycare and nursery for families with young children. They have both contemporary and traditional services. I would definitely recommend this church to anyone.
John LaPish
My wife and I have been members for over 5 years. Our two young children attend and going to church is the highlight of their week. They love the kids' programs and the staff who runs it. The congregation is welcoming and there are plenty of opportunities to engage and grow your faith. Alps Road offers both a contemporary and traditional service. The pastors are personable and genuine. If you are looking for a conservative biblical church, Alps Road is a great place!

This is a vibrant place for all ages to worship in a Christ-centered, Bible-centered, loving environment offering both traditional and contemporary worship services. The clergy are extremely knowledgeable, warm, welcoming, and caring. The staff and many volunteers are the same. This church sees its mission field as the neighborhood where it is based, to the community, the state, the nation, the hemisphere, and the world. From helping sister churches in other nations, sponsoring missionaries across the planet, to digging wells in remote areas of Africa, this is a congregation that is doing its best to be God's hands, feet, and heart in our world. Dr. Bob Bohler, the Senior Pastor, does an excellent job at making God's Word understandable, relatable, and actionable. He and his Associate Pastor, Rev. Deb Trimpe, don't just talk about how Jesus would like us to serve and live. They are natural, humble, diligent examples of true servanthood. These examples help everyone they come into contact with feel their infectious enthusiasm for Jesus and serving. I feel so blessed to have Alps Road Presbyterian as my family's church home!

My wife and I moved to this church from another denomination in 2017. Alps Road Presbyterian suits us uncommonly well. It is doctrinally and morally conservative but not reactionary (avoiding entanglement with secular politics), has a high intellectual level (with quite a few scientists and academics in the congregation), makes good use of our musical heritage, and most of all, is run by wise people. You can look at all of the services and much of the teaching on YouTube. A good church for mature Christians, or people who want to be.

I love attending this church for Bible based worship, Bible study, and making new friends. We have wonderful weekly dinners and monthly events for people of all ages. This church family has been a blessing for my life.

We have attended Alps Road for over 12 years and have always felt at home. The church has made an incredible impact on our lives and has been where we want to raise our children in the faith.

We have been attending Alps Road for about 3 years. We knew we’d found a home from the moment we walked through the door. We had never felt more welcomed by such friendly and engaging congregation! Our pastors make you feel so welcome too! I love the Bible based studies, Sunday school lessons, and sermons. If you want a great place to worship — come to Alps Road Presbyterian Church! You’ll love it here!

I have attended this Church for several years. Previously, I was attending a much larger church and found you could only get to know a fraction of the congregation. Visiting Alps Road Presbyterian was such a different experience-small enough to know most people but large enough to have multiple programs to help you find your place in that church. I have never visited a more friendly church. My wife and I liked it so much we stayed, and have found our home here. Sunday School and worship services are biblically based with several choices for learning and worship. If you are looking for a friendly place to grow your faith, try Alps Road Presbyterian.

What our family loves about ARPC: —There is both a contemporary and traditional worship service where the pastors and the people are friendly and genuine. —Active and exciting programs for kids and teens. —Amazing music leaders! —Good choices for Sunday School classes and other small groups. (Men’s groups, women’s Bible study, college ministry to name a few.) —We are a Bible centered, mission driven church. Our family has been attending for 25 years. We have always found that one of the biggest strengths of this church community is that it is incredibly warm, loving, and Christ centered.

Alps Road has been our family's church for over 10 years and we love raising our kids here. We've seen them walk through incredibly difficult circumstances and weather a global pandemic with grace and faith. They have a beautifully intimate contemporary service that's engaging rather than performative and it's one of the few remaining churches with strong and well attended traditional worship. We attend both depending on the week and are always blessed. God and His word are the central focus of this congregation and it shows in their welcoming attitude and heart for service in the world. We also appreciate ARPC's christian education. They have classes for all ages that actually challenge and educate. This church truly wants the world to know the grace and goodness of God and for His people to know and love Him more deeply.
