Pastor Greg asked people of Cliff Terrace, "What does Cliff Terrace mean to you?"

Cliff Terrace is a place where I can worship freely, grow spiritually, it's a place where I'm accepted and loved, it's a place that I can call home because of the fellowship and friendships - people that I consider as my family.

To me, Cliff Terrace is 'something to believe in'.  In regards to the "Poison" song you occasionally make a reference to. The song is actually about confliction and the need to believe.  And this describes me well.  Many verses have to do with things done wrong or a conflict of belief, but yet he strives towards the goal of true belief.  He needs to believe, He wants to believe.  But it's always a difficult road.You and the church are the one thing we NEED in our lives here and we are reaching for it consistently, we just don't always grab hold of it, much less keep it. I, we (my family), need something to believe in, and the Church is our light to focus upon, you are the brightness that shines out to us with the word. I have the strong man always blathering in my ear; it seems he has latched on to me from the countless opportunities I gave him many years ago. And now, when I am closest to pushing him away forever, he is attempting to intensify his endeavor to influence me. Cliff Terrace is the only chance at the path the Lord has set before me and my family. We’re slowly making our way home.                                                                                                                                                                              - Anonymous Male

Cliff Terrace means to me a church that is a growing church and a church that God has alot in store for.                                                                                                                                             - Kelly Carnell

My family started attending Cliff Terrace while I was serving overseas. They were welcomed as family and taken care of. When I arrived I was quickly made to feel welcome as if I was also part of the family. I felt the presence of God in that building since I arrived stronger at times than at others but always there. I have said this to say that Cliff Terrace is part of my Family and We like being part of the Cliff Terrace Family. It is a place that offers a freedom of worship that I want my kids and grandkids to feel and experience.                                                                                                                                                     - Jim Marshall

Spending time with family. The church body is your family. You can cry with them when they are sad. Laugh with them when they are happy. It means we are family.                                                                                                                                                                                                             - Cheryl Gates

Cliff Terrace means a place to worship and meet with God with like believers. I feel at home there and know that God visits people there. I feel like this is a place where everyday people like me is accepted and loved by all there. The people there are FAMILY and love others as family. I feel that it is a place where God will and is meeting people's needs. This is a house where people can be fed in many ways and it doesn't matter their status in life or their age. I believe that the leaders here were led and put here by God for such as a time as this. I love the change going on here that I can believe in,not like the change the world is searching for in many other ways but a change that is led by our Heavenly Father that is a true life change.                                                                                                                                                                 - David Cox

Cliff Terrace means to me a loving place, a happy place, a gentle place that I can go to worship my Lord God and have support from other people looking for the same thing.  I cherish the comradery of the Cliff Terrace Church, the friends that I have made and the closeness that I feel to God when I am in worship there.  It is a place like no other and I am thankful that I asked God for direction, and blessed that the Holy Spirit led me to you.
