That's a good question. There are a lot of churches in the greater Triangle area. And that means you have a lot of choices. We know that. So why would you bother to come to Gethsemane?
There are many reasons, from the friendly atmosphere with people that treat you like family, to the the Bible-based teaching that doesn't depart from God's Word, to the worship that focuses on God's love for us instead of on what we do for God.
But we don't want you to take our word for it. Come join us some Sunday morning for Bible class or worship or if you'd be more comfortable, watch a service of our webcast from the comfort of your home. We would feel honored if you would and please, don't hesitate to let us know what you think and how we can do things better.
In Him,
Pastor Rob Guenther
Here's what others have said about Gethsemane...
Our church is very close-knit. People are always willing to help each other out in God's name. Sermons are interesting, Bible-based and relateable to everyday life.
I moved here about 6 months ago. Everyone welcomed me right away and started inviting me on church outtings. I have made so many friends by attending chuch. Also, the church reminds us why we need a savior and we can't get to heaven by what we do here. The Holy Spirt has to work in you and bring you to faith.
This church is small but has big heart. The pastor is young and very dedicated to teaching and preaching the word. He is devoted to his ministry and followers and always willing to help anyone in need. He truly makes this church what it is and will make you feel right at home.

My husband, daughter and I have been attending Gethsemane since we moved to Raleigh in 2006. We absolutely love it! Everyone made us feel so welcome right from the start! When you come to Gethsemane everyone smiles and talks with you and for us our Church family has become our extended family. Pastor Rob is wonderful and has an amazing gift for helping people understand God's word and relates his sermons to our everyday struggles.
I've been a member for almost 28 years. Our church is warm, friendly, and loving to members, visitors, and neighbors. The church has not been without trials, but the Lord has blessed us with an amazing Pastor and family. The Elders are truly concerned with the overall health and well-being of each member of the church. The entire congregation is an example of what a God-fearing healthy church should be like. Services are now available to anyone that is unable to attend via the web. This is a big plus to me as I am in public safety and have to work hours that make it impossible for me to physically sit in the pew on Sundays. There is a daycare for children and hopes of a school in the near future. I pray that God will continue to bless our church and invite anyone to be a part of those blessings!
