“‘Cool’ has a host of meanings. One of which is ‘excellent’ meaning ‘neat.’ Here are some highlights that I think make Knollbrook ‘cool.’
It is a biblical-based place to worship, hear, think, and grow in the Word of God. Also, the congregation is welcoming, compassionate, and encourages all (kids as well as adults) to share their gifts to serve God.”

“I enjoy the fellowship that I receive in my core group. The best thing about being in a core group is the prayer support that we give each other. The second best thing about being in a core group is the Bible study that we are doing learning about what God is trying to say to us through the Bible. I believe that everyone should be in a core group so that we can develop better friendships with each other.”

“Brian and I have attended Knollbrook for 25 years, and this is our extended family. You’ve helped raise our children, prayed for us through troubles and praises, come to our side and upheld us during dark days, and loved us in spite of ourselves, just like a family should.”

“I appreciate Knollbrook, maybe more, after coming home from Virginia. While in college and grad school I had to find a church, and I learned that it is not easy. I settled in a small church, very similar to Knollbrook, while at college. However, the church I attended in Virginia was very large, completely opposite of Knollbrook.
After coming back to Fargo I was able to decide to attend Knollbrook, or not. Mom and Dad left the decision up to me. After being in a very large church for the past two years, with a full choir and orchestra weekly, three large screens to see the pastor as he spoke, no one knowing if I was new that Sunday, and a young adults group that was active and busy, I honestly felt Knollbrook was a little slow. Yet I stayed.
Coming back to Knollbrook felt like coming home. Every time I was back for a break from college the Knollbrook family welcomed me back and followed up with how I was. They cared for me.
Once while in Virginia I received a care package from one of the families at Knollbrook; I felt loved. I still feel loved. The people at Knollbrook are part of what makes this place feel like home.
I remember learning that the difference between principle and preference are key in choosing a church. Principle – the Bible and what is taught are a must. Preference is just that – preference.
While no church completely matches my “ideal list,” as no one is perfect, Knollbrook has a pastor who not only knows my name, but also prays for me. I feel like the people I worship with care about me as well my life. I love (love, love – how much can I emphasize it) that we pray out loud together on Sunday mornings for each other!
I pray that our church continue to grow in knowledge and love for God, so that we might grow together in unity that comes through love. I’m grateful for the Knollbrook family.”

“I like how Knollbrook gives scripture priority, yet remains patient and humble as we try to understand together what that scripture means.”
