Check out the video to the right - a series of interviews four of our newest members made about how they are answering God's calling in their lives and how being a part of the Skyline community of faith has helped them hear and follow that calling. Join us any Sunday and see for yourself. Come just as you are and experience what it's like to feel truly at home with God.

Here are some comments we've received via Facebook and e-mail in response to our mission statement (see below):
"From all of us 'on the margin' AMEN"
"Rock on Skyline; it was wonderful being a part of the conversation last night and watching the faces of the people when the vote came in; gracious and wonderful peace radiated on the faces of the followers in his name. It was a coming home for us all. :)"
"I thank God for your congregation and their welcoming attitude!"
"We did this at Pullen Memorial Baptist in Raleigh many years ago and went through all the bumps and bruises as well. In the end, everyone came through this a much stronger congregation and with a much stronger faith. God Bless you... for all you have done on this cause. In the end, we are all children of God."
"The Lord has certainly blessed me with a wonderful church home. I'm thankful to be a part of a congregation that is passionate and intentional about reaching ALL with God's love!"
"I am grateful for you and your congregation ... what a wonderful witness and example for other churches AND for those who have experienced the hurt and pain caused by exclusion."
"I can't even express how happy I am reading this. I'm so proud to be a part of a community like this..."
"Oh happy day that Skyline has a new mission statement that defines the word all, so that everyone knows that when Skyline says all, Skyline means all. What a wonderful evening it was on Monday night. Thanks to all who worked so hard and for so long on all items covered at the meeting."
