Love this place. Great for kids to play and have fun

It has a great playground and the people there is very friendly. During the week sometimes it haz some activities for kids and on Sundays during their service, they offer help to take care of the kids.

Fantastic church with a great community feel. We just moved from TN and have been so blessed we didn’t have to search long to find the right church for our family. From small groups to great sermons this is definitely a great church for kids all the way to older adults.

Nice church good message safety precautions taken well

Excellent place to have a kids birthday party! This place was much larger than I anticipated, which meant way more room for the kids to run around! The staff were all nice and helpful. Will definitely be coming back.

Ive only been to 2/42 a handful of times. I was seeking a community where the focus is based on the Bible and how to apply it to our lives.I was pleased with every aspect of the community and look forward to going again.On a side not; after reading most of the other comments it seems like most people are confusing 2/42 for some sort of amusement park for kids.But hey, whatevver gets you through the doors.

Great place to spend some time with your entire family. Come and play eat at the cafe run around on the indoor field.And then you can stay for church!

Free, good coffee, large clean play structure area, large indoor open play space, well lit, cozy. A bit loud, but how else could it be with a hundred kids having a good time. This is a great facility.

Monday-Saturday 8am-9pm Sunday 8am-4pm (hours as of 08/28/18).I love that there is a warm (cool in summer) space that is free and fun for my kids to play in! Supposed to wear socks!The large play structure is a little tough for children under four but some three year olds were managing fine. There is also a smaller play hill with a tunnel and slide...a mini Hobbit hill. The whole space is carpeted in turf which is super soft for everyone. A long curved bench lines the side for comfy watching. There is also a huge turf field and ball bin right next door so you can have your climber and your runner content. There is a deep swimming pool pit full of foam squares. It looks shallow but is actually very deep (5 and half feet) so watch for crawlers and big kids burying themselves. The squares are big so its hard to get very far down. The bathrooms are close with a changing table, no auto-flush but still a little loud, water fountain (can fill up bottles), and a fantastic Cafe. Diary free options. Coffee, tea, smoothies, sweet and savory options...There is a party room, a fireplace area, chairs, & tables.

Love the play area! Cafe could use some better Customer Service & make sure they have everything they advertise. Smoothies are great when they have everything!

Great place for kids. You walk in, and right away there is a play scape. There is also an area for people to listen and watch the service and still be with their kids playing. Which is great for the parents, but also nice for people in the main service to not be interupted. They have a snack bar, coffee and tea.Most importantly... excellent messages pertaining to every day life, which hit home and resonate throughout the week. Also, a great worship team.

If I lived closer I would come here every day. It is so great to bring my daughter to play when the winter gets long. There is a little cafe you can buy snacks/food too.

Very welcoming community. My daughter loves the playground. Great choice for cold rainy days. They also have a snack bar.

Great place to go for worship.and services. The minister always gives a relevant message. It is also a great place to bring the kids to play in the indoor play ground. There is also a coffee shop and sandwich place inside.

A favorite among my children for an indoor play escape. Three areas to watch out for are the foam pit, bottom of the large slide, and the open play area. Kids often jump blindly into the foam pit while others are burying themselves (bad combination). The large slide is fast and inattentive children playing near the base are often near misses or lit up from the larger children flying down the slide. Finally the open area is great unless larger older children are playing soccer/football as errant balls or highly motivated kids may contact smaller children. None of this deters our family as we talk about these situations before we arrive. Arrive early if you want a seat near the play areas as it does get busy here. Ideal seating would be 360 degrees around the play area but thats just a parents wish list.

We took my 15month old nephew, he had a lot of fun with the upstairs 3D thing and the open area playing with balls. The foam pit and the toys there were too big for him

Good praise band! The message was not too long. It had a lot of good nuggets in it!

Great place for the kids to get out some energy. Love their smoothies ️

Such a great place to take the kids to hang out. We meet school friends here to play for a couple hours. It is awesome they allow you to bring in food for lunch! Last time we went they had a movie playing and the kids pretended they were camping! They had such a fun time!

Great place to bring your kids. This place is clean, brightly lit and has lots to do for kids from 2 to 12. There is comfortable seating for the parents and a snack bar with all kinds of food. Best of all its FREE! What a blessing for the community.

Generally high quality preaching and overall good worship music (bands are mostly excellent). Maybe a tad loud, but not overwhelmingly so. Strong mission focus - the high point is tons of baptisms and a focus on generosity.I think the service is too short, but probably in the minority here. Love that they have weekly communion.

I go there for my cardio drumming class, which is a great class! Seems like a nice environmentThey have an indoor playground, great for moms with younger kids!

Great place to bring the kids to burn off some energy! Cafe is nice as well!

Very welcoming, community-centered. They offer a lot of fun activities for local kids throughout the year. And they have an indoor playspace that is free of charge.

Go to a meeting here every Thursday, great church.My kids love to go there and play at their indoor playground.

Great church and great people! Dont let decisive people fool you. This church does not exist to make political statements or get into foolish arguments. They are more concerned with serving the community. For example, one of the pastors just recently provided support for a family friend of mine who has a loved one dealing with cancer. The support was amazing and the pastor was huge blessing. This church simply wants to love and engage with the community in a Chirst-like way.

It was truly an amazing place to be and the atmosphere was absolutely wonderful you could feel that Jesus was present in the people there. Oh and the people were just absolutely nice and welcoming I really loved it .

Well here’s the thing when I walked into the café which is normally a wonderful place lately they have had subpar food this year and their attitude more than once has been very bad. They don’t wanna help you I understand that they’re transferring over from one food group company to another food group company. But the way they alienate their customers subtly and you wouldn’t catch it at first is astounding to me. They don’t want to help you with your transfer over stuff. And they’re rude all the time. So if you’re ever going to eat there run for the hills don’t look back. I’m not seeing all staff but most of them. Your attitude is totally bad and that’s putting it lightly. You asking simple questions and the glare you and make snide and unchristian remarks it didn’t help that I asked him a simple question and it didn’t help that there were three people in the back doing nothing staring at me that were employees and did not want to help. This happened more than once on more than one occasion. If I could give the café itself a negative review it would probably be -3. Their cleanliness is OK but their attitude towards people really sucks. PS sorry about language LOLHaving that said the parishioners and the other people working at 2:42 are wonderful people they treat everybody with respect their rock in roll team does awesome their sermons are very riveting./The playground it seems like is very clean and safe. In fact everything is clean. Etc

Fun and delightful place for young children and their families! Lots of options for play and socialization. Staff is present and available, without being obtrusive. Staff are also very friendly. Cafe prices are very reasonable and high quality.

Play area was nice and well-kept. There were a group of older kids running amok and the attendant didnt seem to care, even when it was brought to her attention.

Great community center. Staff are what your expect from a great church, kind helpful, Christ honoring. Great place for birthday parties.

Great place to take the family, just for play or a week day community event or of course weekend worship.

Such a great place! I was very impressed. I met up with some friends, our kids ranged from 2 to 11, they all had a blast.

AReally cool place. Great for groups, they have a pretty good cafe. Looks like individual pods or birthdays and larger rooms for parties too. Cant complain the price free admission and cafe prices were reasonable

Great place to bring the kids to play... or get a snack. The rest is embarrassing.

Really clean facility. Nice cafeteria inside. Friendly and nice staff. If youre interested in religious gatherings, I recommend this place.

We just moved here from out of town and tried out 242. The preaching and music is AWESOME, however we have been attending for a month now and nobody is interested in getting to know us or establishing a friendship with us which we really need. We will continue going for a few more weeks but if that doesnt change we wont be staying

Beautifull facility ,large parking area and nice indoor familiy comunity center ,EXCELLENT place

Went to a birthday party here for a 4 year old, it was amazing! What a great place. Theres a huge faux grassy area for the kids to run and play and lots of climbing structures. There was a separate party room for the party and nice bathroom. Also TONS of parking. Fun clean place 10/10

I cant say anything about this church from a worship perspective, but from a free indoor playground perspective this place is so much fun. Its clean, its huge, and its open for long hours. Im so thankful to this church community for the amazing work they do to offer this amazing opportunity to kids and parents for free.Also, be sure to follow them on Facebook because they have awesome one day celebrations and special events. Ive seen a church birthday party with cake and balloons, carnival days in the summer, movie days, and an incredible super hero / princess comic con for kids.If you havent been and you have a child who would like indoor play structures, you have to check it out. Everything is free except the cafe services which are very affordably priced and focused on healthy options where available.Thank you so much for offering this service for parents in this community.

Love 2 42. Its fantastic. Our grandson can run, jump, climb, throw, slide, kick, climb, etc., to his hearts content.

New church that I hope to go to forever. Love it so much.

This church is really nice. It is large and clean and the people are very friendly. There is a free indoor playground, a cafe, and they offer free coffee and tea between services. The church is progressive and has bands play and a team of teaching pastors.

I love 242! Its a free indoor playground with a cafe! There are activities planed such as story time and movies throughout the week, its a great place to go to during the cold winter months!!

This is a contribution of great value to A2 from a church. I cant complain about this place since the facility runs quite well and rules are on the loose side (no need to hear from the church to use the building). Rentals are super affordable. The coffee shop tries to do their best with quality and quantity of food offers but sometimes they ran of most of the things for kids. You can bring your own too.

I have been going to 242 for a few years and over the past year truly started to embrace what it has to offer. Without the support of this community I would not have gotten through so many difficult obstacles in my life. They make learning interesting and easy to follow, they make my family feel safe and most importantly they help my path to God a lot more clear. If I didnt have this church I would feel like just another lost sheep . My children are more excited to be here than almost anywhere else. Thanks 242 for all of your continued efforts to help and support families like mine.

A really nice facility. Sometimes other visitors have unruly kids that are not kept in check, so we dont always stay as long as we might. But the kids love the structure.

My family and I have been going here fr over a year. We love it. They welcome anyone and everyone. I noticed some bashing the church saying the do not welcome them.....not true at all. Everyone is welcome. It has amazing services for worshipping our Lord and savior but also has a amazing community center for families,friends and kids to relax, enjoy and have fun. Please come check it out!

This place is amazing!!! It is totally free, with the option to buy food, but no pressure! It’s clean and everyone is so kind. There is enough space to actually relax a bit while your kids run around. Thank you 2/42 for this amazing place for the community!

Love this place!

I wish I could give this church a zero star. One of my very best friends goes to this church. She also gives them a lot of money. Well her house bruned down and she lost everything. Everything. I called day after day and never had anyone answer the phone, just got stuck in a loop that would eventually just end. My friend didnt know I was calling on her behalf and had found out days following her tradegy they communicate via TEXT MESSAGE?? She had texted them reaching out day after day and has 2 weeks later still never heard back. This is not a church. They are a financial orginization. Read up on the Solomon Group. They do NOT care one bit about their members. This is unheard of and totally unacceptable. Just disgusting.

Free!! So many events for all ages to choose from posted on their Facebook page. Even if you just come to let the kids run and play while you enjoy a healthy snack or drink from their cafe.

Really nice playground area and nice people.

Food was absolutely horrible. So not worth the price. Place would be perfect for a 4yr old but not any other age. Will find a better place to take grandkids

Very friendly and loving church. The word is not comprised here. There are a lot of groups to join. I got baptized here. Not like most churchs.

I came here because I received their postcard in the mail. The space is inviting and glorious. All are welcome. Nice snack bar. Nice atmosphere. Decent coffee. Check it out. Great place to study.

Im not Christian or religious for that matter. But the 242 community center is a great place to be. The kids play area is wonderful and the community center makes everyone feel welcome

Whether youre a new follower of Christ or a life long Christian, 242 is an absolutely incredible church.

Great as always, CHRISTmas in full effect!

Wonderful campus. Fantastic experience!

Second time visiting. Love the music and teaching is solid. Friendly people. Children will also love it.

Fantastic church to learn about GOD at, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The Pastors that spoke were real and down to earth, and what they gave you in their sermons was from the Bible and very enjoyable to hear the way used it in analogys of real life situations.

No comments on Church part of it since I never been for services. A great place for kids to play. There are some slides, a sponge block tank and other activities. A cafeteria , snack shack and very clean restrooms. Access is from Wagner st with ample parking.

This service is really tailored to personal preferences. My girlfriend goes here and worked as a barista in the shop. Even though I have another church I personally to, I would also go here for her occassionally. Needless to say, my attendance has been sporadic for over a year, as in I dont go every week. In that time Ive noticed that it has went from mostly being musically centered to more sermon centeredI prefer the latter. A lot of people go to this church, people are typically very friendly and free coffee is offered. However there typically isnt much talking and communion with members. If you are looking for groups, they have that but to me its a little impersonal, as in, even though Im not a fresh face, I only talk with maybe 2 people after service.Im okay with that, but it doesnt make me particularly feel the best afterwards.

This is a great indoor playground for kids of all ages.

An Amazing place to take the kiddos. I cant speak for the worship services...because weve never attended. But its apparent they care about the community.

Great church. Nice place to take the kids to burn off some energy.

Worship, fellowship or play...Always an amazing time!!!

Great place to take kids! Very spacious with a jungle gym, area to kick a ball around, roller skating area and a cafe for the parents to lounge. Healthy treats and Vegan COOKIES!

I really love the space, its great fun and a great space. My daughter is always excited to go to 242!I do wish there were some church volunteers who were around to kind of regulate the older kids. I once saw some older kids throwing water bottles back and forth from the top of the jungle gym and the steps to the light up over the playground....

Awesome church! Very welcoming with a great message.

Faith based community, lots of fun for the kids. Music for the soul. ️️

I love this community! The church and the center are both amazing. The play place is awesome and the church has a great childrens program as well as excellent service!

Great for the family and very nice people to associate with I would recommend this church to everyone

242s policy toward LGBT families is devastating. I hope that everyone who attends services or spends time at their new community center truly begins to grapple with this. Please dont sit by and enjoy their amazing cafe, fireplace, soccer fields and play spaces. LGBT families need our friends and coworkers to have our backs, and do something about the ways we are being hurt by their anti-gay policies.After reading Roxannes review (below), I had to write. Im so sorry that 242 sent you a text opposing your same-sex marriage rights. It is incredibly painful, and is the exact response my family received by phone last month--from a female pastor, when we were considering bringing our son to a playdate at the community center. 242 is perpetrating a dangerous and deceptive message, that has crept into our entire culture: we love you, and you are welcomed, but you are a sinner and we dont recognize your marriage rights or dignity.Churches do not demonstrate love to LGBT families by allowing them to step foot onto their grounds. They demonstrate love by honoring the humanity of our daily lives and our families--by actively supporting our civil rights and marriage rights--which allow us the legal protections to parent our children, provide health care for our families, and the ability to be seen for the beautiful people we are in this world.I encourage the leadership of 242 to be brutally honest with themselves about the pain they are causing our community. And I ask everyone who attends 242 to question their own privilege of membership, of standing by while LGBT families are made less than human. You can not welcome or love an LGBT family into your community while refusing their basic civil rights and humanity. It is not actually possible.When all is said and done, what side of history will you be able to tell your children that you were on?

Truly thankful for this church for redesigning my views of church and helping me find my way back home to church in general. The worship music is wonderful and the messages are thought provoking. A great church to attend if you are just checking churches out, as no one is pushy/ you will only be reached out to if you ask for it. For the first time in my life, I not only look forward to church, but its the best part of my week!

Always a good time and everyone who works there is so nice! my daughter loves their indoor park!

My children love climbing and this is a great place to let my children run off some energy

Such a wonderful place to go in the Michigan winter! It does get super busy during school breaks though. My kids love it here.

This place is just what was needed for my visiting 3 yo granddaughter last winter. No church talk, just joyful living is all that really matters to make a community a great one.

Great, welcoming place. Had my daughters birthday party there and she loved it. Highly recommend 242.

Great place to play & praise.

Loved the hospitality, the kids area is great!! Thanks Lori for the tour and cooperation!!

So much good and active fun for kids at no cost

I love this church and everyone is just so kind.

Great Place to take your kids on a rainy day

Really great place! The kids love it I loved it! ND its free! To have fun..

What am amazing place for kids. We visited thinking we would be there maybe an hour, but kids had so much fun we lost track of time. Especially with long winter in MI we need more indoor playgrounds like 242 Community Church.

An amazing place with amazing people. Im honored to serve here.

Love the incredible environment and the passion for serving in the community. Kids are having a blast In the children’s ministry and we have enjoyed the message and worship each week!

Kimberly and I really enjoyed the service today.. we are new to town this will be our home every Sunday for the next 3 months

Excellent place, Thanks to 242 Church for giving this place to the community ,they welcome anyone and everyone is so friendly, always with a smile on their face, safe place for kids, we love it all year round, Cafe is amazing, great food and atmosphere

Great place to take the kids.

Excellent place for kids, my daughter lovvved it

Amazing place, very kind staff, free for kids

Great place to bring your family for a fun time or to fellowship. Very clean & well kept! My family & I enjoy attending events

2|42 is a Happy Place where people go to seek, to share, to spread Gods love.

Great place for worship and the word. No judgement, no pressure, just what fellowship and church should be.

Wake up liberal Ann Arbor, supporting 242 is supporting homophobia. Your LGBT friends and neighbors see 242 signs around town and feel unsafe and unwelcome.This is the text I received after inquiring about their LGBT policies “So our Pastor’s at 2|42 hold tightly to Jesus’ teaching on marriage designed to be between a Man and a Woman so they do not perform same sex weddings...”

We spent years going to many churches around the area before we found 2|42. When we walked in, we knew we were home. The people here are authentic. Its okay if youre not perfect; theyre willing to meet you where youre at and let God do the rest. The kids programs are astounding, and our kids beg to come to church. The church is very involved in the community, and its easy to get involved. Theres a place for everyone here, so if youre looking for a church, dont hesitate to check out 2|42!
