It was incredibly heavenly, I absolutely enjoyed every experience. It felt like I was in one of those British churches where the monarchs are crowned. The choir was epic, the organ was HUGE!! The staff were so professional and wonderful. It was an epic experience.

This is one of the most beautiful churches I have been to. It also has the biggest pipe organ I have seen. The environment it truly serene and very conducive for prayer and worship. The church workers are attentive and discreet in their approach too. The church seems to pay a lot of attention to music, and my experience was really nice.
