I love this place! They showed me the love of Christ and prayed with me. Thanks to their environment being centered around the love of Christ my life has looked different ever since and I'm so happy about that :)

Here you don't have to dress up, you can get a free cup of coffee and the message is one that I can understand it's evident that God is in this place. There are three services every Sunday and everyone is very friendly there are many ways to connect and serve God through this church

God is so in tune with the people and staff at brcc. This is a nonjudgemental church. The lessons are truth and so real in the way your life is. Baptism is amazing and so tear jerking. Kids ministry WOW WOW WOW! OH MY GOSH SO MUCH TO BE INVOLVED IN AT THIS CHURCH! GOD IS LOVE AND THIS CHURCH IS LOVING!!

Best church in the country! Full disclosure: my brother is a Celebrate Recovery minister at Blue Ridge, and I am a theist at best. That said, BR is a good church with good people and a good message.

Blue Ridge reminds us of churches we went to in California. Overall it is relaxed, it has upbeat/rock type music and the pastors wear jeans and t-shirts. The bible is always the focus and truth even if painful or uncomfortable is told. The pastors rotate teaching with Woody being the lead. They focus on getting involved in small groups as it is a very large church. I am a Christian but my husband is not and we both attend on a regular basis.

I attended this church one time and was absolutely hooked. As soon as you walk in your greeted with a beautiful smile and good morning. They offer a kids community that my 2 girls absolutely love. They always ask "Dad are we going to church, because we really like kids community". Answer is always yes. Kids wanting to learn about God is a totally stress free environment. They also have "Cradle" so if you have a little one and want to enjoy the service, these ladies are amazing. Men's Bible studys, woman Bible studys, kids Bible studys, Celebrate Recovery, endless classes. They offer FREE coffee, tea and hot chocolate. They also have a little cafe where they sell breakfast items : cinnamon rolls, hash brown casrole, bacon / sausage burritos, fresh cookies. They make all this themselves so it taste way better. They also have 2 vending machines and a cooler with other fun stuff to eat.. There is absolutely no pressure here but a atmosphere of love. I highly recommend this place wether you are looking for a home church or out for a visit.

Scripture based (excellent reason to attend). Children LOVE IT! Restrooms are so clean. Lots of programs to continue your growth. We are the church so there are lots of opportunities to serve/love in our community.

We moved to the area about 3 years ago and went to several churches before visiting Blue Ridge CC. They are very welcoming there with greeters at every door to make you feel right at home. They are genuinely happy to see you and that drew us in. They preach straight from the bible and have an excellent worship team that you can just tell thinks more about the words that they are singing than how they look while they're singing it. They have top-notch kids and youth programs and the leaders go the extra mile quite often for the kids. My kids actually love to go instead of being bored to tears like other places that we visited. The people here have a real heart for God and it shows with everything that they do. We're still attending there regularly after our first visit 2 years ago and it feels like home. It takes a while to figure out how to get plugged in there because they structure things a bit differently than what most are used to, but you figure it out by talking to people and jumping in the mix. So glad that we decided to visit here, it's exactly the church that we were looking for!

Love this community and what we stand for. The pastors and leaders are humble and admit to their sins and shortcomings, instead of pretending to be the perfect Christian. Love all the groups and services offered.

We have attended Blue Ridge since 2005. Our kids grew up being a part of the Kid's Ministry, and we see the positive impact the solid Bible teaching had on their desire to serve God today. The messages are relevant and based on solid truths from the Bible. The time of worship is sincerely focused on honoring the Lord. There are many opportunities to get to know others, even though it is a large church. Blue Ridge has been a tremendous blessing to our family!

This ain't your mamma's church. What I love about BRCC is that it breaks from the tradition of hiding your imperfections from the rest of the church. At BRCC, it's ok to be human and to have made mistakes. The leadership will help you take those sins to Jesus Christ where you can find healing and start growing into the person God made you to be. Without a doubt, attending Blue Ridge for the past 8 years has changed my life and my marriage forever.

Are you ready for a clicky church where no one welcomes you or says hi. Then this is the church for you. The one silver lining is there are a lot blunder years teenagers with some fantastically bad hair cuts. So if that'll make you laugh ... Just dint expect much of a church.

Blue Ridge Community Church does a really good job...

Blue Ridge Community Church does a really good job of regularly making it clear what the gospel is, and not in the form of an altar call at the end of the sermon. They regularly have people share first-hand stories of God working in lives and redeeming them even from situations that our culture tends to just cross off immediately, like when a spouse has an affair. Hearing people share how God has turned their life around and saved their marriage, etc., is a really beautiful thing.

Blue Ridge also does a great job with the children's ministry. Not only are the kids in a safe place with background-checked workers and a good adult-to-child ratio, but the kids are really learning the gospel as well. Outside of some separation anxiety that one of my kids had as a toddler, my children have always loved going here.

4-stars so that people don't expect perfection. It's a great church but no church is great in every regard. Especially a church this large you may find that it's incredibly hard to get to know people. There are a couple of Bible study opportunities that are held during the week that will help you feel connected more quickly, and there are ways to help on Sunday mornings, but if you just attend on Sunday mornings it will probably take you a very long time to feel like you belong here. There are no adult Sunday school classes. Forming friendships here is the hardest part, but it's worth the effort in my opinion.

Visiting from out of town and we really enjoyed the service. The greeters were friendly and the music was enjoyable and pointed to Christ. The Executive pastor spoke. It was simple, practical, biblical, and had a clear emphasis on the gospel and a clear call to action with helpful instructions on sharing your story. I hope to visit again when we return to the area.

Amazing kids programs, wonderful community of guys and gals! It looks like a big church, but after you plug yourself in, it doesnt feel so big! Plug yourself into a life group! Our lives are completely changed all because of the work God is doing in this church!

Decide if you want a relationship or religion. BRCC is all about a relationship with Jesus. We love and minister to all, because that's what Christians are called to do. Absolutely love our church family and everything we're doing in our local communities and abroad.

Y'all are fake. You are the epitome of what church is NOT all about. Let he who hath not sinned cast the stone! And to members who are real Christians, I say run.....save yourself and for God's sake, don't drink the juice!

The presence of the Holy Spirit in this church saved my soul! So many groups to get plugged into and you can be yourself and grow into your identity through Jesus with many hands waiting to help guide you. Over the years I have been blessed to see 7 members of my family give their lives to Jesus while attending Blueridge. Real stuff!

Large church, 2500-3500 people will come on a Sunday morning. Although that is spread across 3 services. In spite of this the church maintains a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and has small group meetings throughout the week.
