The worship music can bring you to tears! Pastor Al, years ago, is such a nice gentleman. He's welcoming and personable. The children's ministry team makes you feel safe enough to leave your children with them because they are so warm and welcoming. We definitely made some life long friends while attending Gateway years ago. Whenever we're in the area, we always try to visit and we always feel right at home. This was not our first time here and won't be our last.

So grateful to be a part of a genuine faith family that loves God and loves others. If you have been hurt by church experiences in the past, turned off by Christians who haven't been what God called them to be, or long for authentic transparency in walking through life with it's hurts, habits and hang-ups free from judgment and criticism, come worship with us! There is hope for the hurting, healing for the broken, and life giving relationships within the people that call Gateway Community Church home!

I first went to a couple of other churches in Merced and they were all great and I thank God we have so many great options in Merced for every believer in Christ. Ultimately Life Place Church was a good size church for me and most importantly I felt Holy Spirit move on my first visit. I knew right away this was a church that can help me fulfill my true purpose in Christ. If you are looking for a bold church that loves and wants to transform Merced then LPC is it!

Before i was welcomed with opened arms i had felt like a nobody and felt like no one loved me i was yearning for many way to not be on this earth no more but God shown me this church. i was welcomed with so much love and opportunities,and surrounded by so much people that loved me and my family. The pastor and his wife are the most wonderfullest people along with their children. im so very greatful God sent me them. little do they know,they are the blessing i didn't know i needed in my life.

I would invite those who are critical to come and attend a service with us. This is NOT a church which needs to be criticized for being inwardly focused.

My favorite place is the adoration chapel. It is so serene and cozy, you can really feel Jesus as you look at the blessed sacrament exposed. This church is so special to me as I used to be a part of their choir. I also like the courtyard where they have a few saint statues displayed. It was nice to see St. Therese and St. Anthony along with a rare statue I haven't seen anywhere else St. Anne and her daughter Mary (I have this prayer card but have never seen a statue of it in real life!). I didn't quite notice them here until I came the other day to pray. If you are in Merced, whether you are Catholic or not, come by and see this church and walk around their courtyard. It's a great place to take a break from our busy schedules. :-)

What matters is that the community of the regular church goers are friendly, you may even say amiable. The priest has expert knowledge of the (Catholic) Bible, as all Catholic priests should be, and he knows how to engage the audience. My only criticism would be that the priest does but agree to putting a mic for Quinceañeras because he believes he has a loud voice. That is true but the quality of sound from a close up mic is much better as the camera mic also picks up the echo from within the church. I don't visit this church too often so I can't add much more other than sometimes there are special festivities and raffles.
