Verve Las Vegas

So I will probably go just for the message. Thought I would find a young adult (21+) crowd here but there was none. It was extremely small; the room maybe fits 50 people, 100 max. But the band and the pastor surprised me at how great they were. I could fully understand the pastor and could relate to his message. This was my first visit yesterday. It’s unfortunate there are no people my age but if you’re looking for a small-​knit community with ages 30+ this is it. I am only giving it 3 stars because no one my age, and how small it is. They should do more marketing/​advertising and get more social outreach. Make some videos, make the place look fun and add some activities after services or something to connect everyone since it’s so small. But the quality and good foundation is there to make this a great church, maybe just not the church I’ll attend a lot though.

Made my first visit today, and knew this was the church for me! Thank you all for making me feel so welcomed! Can t wait to return next week!

Church for people who do not like Church… I’m there!!! Never been one for organized religion, but neither is Verve… No pressure… No dress code… A true come as you are! No passing the basket and shaming you into giving even when it’s your last dollar. If you have felt outcast, unworthy, unaccepted, unloved… Verve is an upbeat place where you are not constantly told if you eat a burger on friday your going to Hell!!! Do you have tattoos? Do you feel that you only have a wholy tee and faded jeans. Thats just the type of garb that is the most prevelant with the inhouse Ververs. Give it an hour… It just may be what you have been looking for… Oh and there’s COFFEE!!!

I really like attending church here while I am in Vegas.
The music, media an sermons make this a nice and enjoyable place to enjoy God’s company without all the hassle, rules and rituals that go along with a more traditional church.
The one thing I am not a fan of seems to be the unapproachableness in the way the church is set up. When you walk in the door the is this stand there with people on the other side that are supposed to be greeting. This does not always happen as well I think the stand acts as a barrier between us and them. If I were Verve I would do away with the stand and have my people greeting at the door. Much more inviting.
Overall though this church is awesome and is the only place I go in Vegas will I am here on my work trips. Proud to call it my Vegas church home.

This is my church. I’ve been coming to this church that is a church for people who don’t like church for the last 2 years. My wife and I were always looking for something more since moving to Las Vegas. We knew we wanted to go find a church but were turned off by the so called «hip» mega church in town. I was raised Catholic so that was out of question. Especially since we needed to dress up. We found a flyer on our door and it had some funny jokes on it. When we walked into the lobby it certainly did not look like a church. We took our seats and the band was playing Smashing Pumpkins. I thought to my self this is a cool church. Since then we have both became very active with Verve. You can see me playing the drums on stage or my wife greeting you at the door. We love this place. When we first starting going, we were going to be the couple that just went and left. Now we can’t stop talking about our church. It’s funny we always start with «It’s not what you think.» If you have been thinking that you want to find a cool and accepting church then come check us out. It doesn’t matter where you are at in your faith. There are plenty of people that you can talk too. You will find a great group of great people! Cheers!
Services are on Sunday at 10:05 and 11:35; Don’t worry if you work weekends because there is a service on Monday night at 7:05.
If you see me come say hi!

Another thanks to Raymond (who we saw this morning btw!) for posting the new review of Verve. We wanted to try something a little different for Easter and we were hoping to get inspired. We were more than pleased.
Pros:
*Wear what you feel comfortable in
*Great pastor — his message today really spoke to me
*Fun multimedia keeps you engaged
*Awesome musicians that play fun rock music
*Separate kids services — no crying kids in church
*No pressure ! I didn’t feel pressured to join, donate, anything — which is rare in the church world.
Overall I recommend anyone that doesn’t like church but is curious about God/​religion/​Christianity to give it a shot. I promise you won’t feel uncomfortable !

Honestly, I went to this church after reading Raymond B.‘s review. I thought to myself– could this be the church that I have been looking for since I moved to Vegas? The answer is unequivocally YES! I called home to tell my mom that I had finally found a church… for people who don’t like church. Her immediate response was, «That sounds like you, so I take it that you loved it.» I did.
As mentioned before, I’m not sure that this is the perfect church for everyone. It’s fairly dark and has more of a concert type feel to The Venue that a conventional church, yet it’s still very Bible-​based. The music is loud and rocks! It’s definitely for the young or young at heart.
I felt very accepted for who I am (a black surfer chick from SoCal that loves rock and is very quiet), where I am (adjusting to living on my own in a city hours from home), and not judged in the least… I was told an elder in a church years ago that every family has a good kid and a bad kid. Guess which category I fell into? So it was great to hear that this church was for people like me who aren’t perfect. The people are real and not pretentious or «holier than thou»… which is refreshing.
I feel like I finally found a place that I can be me– with all of my quirks and idiosyncrasies… and still Christian but «not in a boring, let me shove God down your throat, and judge you if you don’t like» it kind of way. This reminds me how great really is to go to church.

There tag line here is 100% true. Church for people who don’t like church! I have been attending Verve for about 2 years now and could not find a better place to call my church home. The music rocks, the sermon hits home, and the people will not and do not judge you. You can show up in sandals and a tee shirt and learn about God with out being pushed to be a follower of Christ. This is the place to go if you are just searching for something different in your life or contemplating the whole God thing. They have hilarious skits and videos that push the limits and make you wonder. Am I in church right now!
