Churches & Places of Worship near Ballwin, MO

“Love this church. Its way better than most churches ive been to. I love the service, the prayers, and the options they give you throughout your visits. Definitely recommend”

“Finding a a good, grounded, biblically sound church is hard. The expository preaching, and the Christ centered community here will make you feel at home. Every verse is preached upon, Love it.”

“I've never seen a church that is so committed to being like Jesus in every aspect. Loving him, serving him teaching him. One of the best churches I've ever been part of. Pastor Chris preaches nothing but the Bible. In fact, we're going through it cover to cover.”

“Went for the fish fry dinner. Everyone was efficient, nice, and worked hard to get everyone through quickly. I thought my food was delicious. My husband said his was okay.”

“let me tell y'all, everyone here is the nicest people you will EVER meet! Free food,tea, coffee, and prayers! Come here every Sunday! I hope that I see you!”

“Today was the first time my husband and I attended and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Everyone was so nice and welcoming from the time we walked in the doors. The kids section is safe and the kids had a blast and are already asking when they can come back. We haven’t been to church together ever and we wanted to find a good small church that felt centered around God and not the outside world and I believe God sent us to The Crossing for a reason. We will definitely be regular attendees from now on.”

“Where you hear God's Word taught clearly and accurately every week plus you can connect with several small groups throughout the week. Multi-generational and family-like atmosphere. Comfortable size...you won't be invisible or get lost in the crowd here.”

“The staff are all awesome, and the parishioners welcome you when you attend, whether it be for service or one of the many activities that they have going. I loved attending the Tuesday Morning Life Group and the Young at Heart Group, but unfortunately, Covid stopped it from meeting. There are other groups that meet. I watch their service online currently because I am a full-time caregiver and can't get to church right now. I am also a prayer warrior, and you can ask for prayers, and they would be more than happy to say them for you. I would recommend this church!!”

“Genuine and authentic. A church that’s led by the Holy Spirit. Worship isn’t a rock concert, just an invitation to stand in his presence and to come as you are. Pastor is very scripture based and doesn’t deviate into a storytelling personal interpretation. Their iPhone app actually gives you free access to the audio version of the Bible. Community outreach is strong and missionary work impactful. Can’t recall hearing anything regarding asking to tithing and feeling pressured, but give you the opportunity to do so. Might be lacking on things like men’s groups and weekly connections, but still 6/5 stars.”

“I attended for a funeral and arrived during the casket viewing. The songstress was excellent, there was lots of handicap parking and the ushers were very professional.I'll return to hear the word”

“Still an operating church, school closed but used for many community opportunities. Went for a local volleyball tournament, and it was nice. Inviting in that a couple if doira from the gym, there was a senior potluck dinner going on, smelled delicious, I would have paid to eat with them! What a cool community opportunity, and good use of space already in the community.”

“I like this church, I like gospel music that makes me feel better and encouraged to try my best. I write positive encouraging songs, mostly based off of the best parts of the Gospel in my lifelong research of it. The Sky's Open Above, in peace there is Love... Peace is still quiet, joy is happy gladly, let patience be to your self control this is the roll... The Spirit that gifted me with that song, goes on for awhile expanding multidimensionally on the fruits of the spirit... For edification... The music is linked to the name Miles McWalker... I set out to make a song for G.. He maybe said, make one for My people to know Me better and treat each other better.”

“This church is very special. They have deep worship; they teach the true gospel focused on God's love and redemption; and the eldership are strong, stable, and loving to the congregation.”

“I'm highly amused that St Gerard Majella's fish fry, which only happens once a year for like 5 weeks during Lent, has a Yelp site. But I'm also thankful that someone created one. I'm not a St. Louis native and don't understand all the hype surrounding fish fries. Well, now I know. I came here last Friday at 5:10pm (they opened their doors at 4:30), the first week of their fish fry, with the naïve thought that I was "early". I fully intended to use their order-online-and-pick-up-curbside but 30 minutes after they opened, their website shut down/broke and it said they weren't taking any more orders. I told my husband I would be home in 20 minutes. 1 HOUR LATER, I finally left with my carryout food and wondered if the food would be worth this crazy long drive-through wait. The church staff told me that the line would likely be shorter after 6:30pm...but when I left, the line of cars waiting on Dougherty Ferry Road was the same length as it was at 5:10pm. When you arrive in your car, you enter the drive through line from Dougherty Ferry Road, and exit on Ballas. Apparently people started lining up at 4:00pm. I asked if parking and walking in to do carry-out was faster, but the lines were apparently also long inside. They take cash and credit card. As you inch along the drive through, they also sell Ted Drewes ($3 each, about 1 cup size), drinks/beer, give you free tartar sauce or cocktail sauce, then give you a number to place on your dashboard so they can direct you into 2 lanes, then merge you into 1 lane, and then you order your food, pay, and pick up the food. I tried the fried cod adult dinner, which comes with 2 pieces of fried cod, hush puppies (or a roll), 2 sides, and a packaged cookie or brownie. The cole slaw was my favorite side--fresh, vinegar-y, and a nice contrast to the fried seafood. I also tried the fried shrimp, French fries, and mac and cheese. The fried cod was my favorite--nicely breaded, not overly greasy, well-seasoned, and nice and hot even after I took it home to eat. Hush puppies left something to be desired---the cornbread inside was dry and the exterior breading too hard/crunchy. But still, tasty. So my first fish fry experience was delicious, but I don't think I will be waiting an hour again in the drive thru line again just to get the fried fish.”

“I absolutely love this church experience. Pastor Greg does a wonderful job of explaining the Word and teaching right out of the Bible. The worship music is concert level! Absolutely outstanding worship music. I used to attend a Catholic Church so I was nervous to go into something different than what I was used to but honestly this has been a wonderful experience.”

“We have made it our “thing” to go to as many Lenten fish fries as possible every year. I could possibly give it three stars because they didn’t have any kids meals. That was absolutely stupid. We had to split a meal between three granddaughters. Every other one we went to in Jefferson County was kid friendly or at least accommodating. These people were totally inflexible when it came to modifying the meal for 3 little kids. They also had no flexibility in what they gave you. You got what you got. They have two options gymnasium seating or reservations seating. The last time we came that side was all you could eat for a higher cost. The gymnasium seating was loud and you couldn’t carry on a conversation. From the positive perspective the food was good and you got plenty to eat. It was well organized from having a bunch of parking attendants too getting your food. It must be extremely popular because parking was limited and people were everywhere. It did have a to go option too. I could have walked out without paying the lady who took our order gave the tickets to my wife. We were a little confused. When I figured out they screwed up I went back after we ate and paid up. I had to convince the ladies I didn’t pay. The only reason I’ll go back is it is located close to our youngest son and his girls. It’s also hard to match up to the Catholic Church in Hillsboro when they had free beer and soda and unlimited sides. There was also the lack of a visibility of a Priest.”

“Was visiting from Toronto and I had a lovely time in the 10:45 Sunday service. Worship was awesome, I felt the presence of God so strong. The media team was also very smooth with all the visuals. And the ministration was so simple yet so powerful. I definitely enjoyed my experience, and the community feels so welcoming, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in St. Louis!”

“I was drawn to this church by its bold and fearless love for God. To truly love God, you have to love his word. If you want to learn and grow in the knowledge of God, this is the church for you. You will be taught how to apply God’s word and teachings in your every day life that will strengthen your faith. You will receive understanding and the depth of Jesus’s death on the cross and resurrection. It’s more than just words and Bible verses spoken here. It’s about activating the Holy Spirit within that Jesus released upon his last breath on the cross for ALL of those who choose to believe, will faithfully receive. The people here are so kind and truly caring. You feel God’s peace, love and presence in this beautiful church filled with the body of Christ. The music is beautiful songs of worship. Their prayer team is wonderful and heartfelt. I’m so grateful to have found this gem of a church.”
