Over the years, I've been to many churches across California, and this is one of my favorites (if not THE favorite). Let me count the ways: ================== * They are very welcoming. You can feel the love. * Responsible and applicable teaching. * Family: perfect for your little ones. If not seated with you in the main sanctuary, they have many classes and small groups for children. * Local and international focus. * The main sanctuary is totally pro. Huge and wide stage, and the utmost professional sound and lighting. * The seats are comfortable. * I've been maybe 10-12 times. I've seen the lead pastor about 4 times. The others, a senior or associate pastor, each different. Rare. They share the light, and this is good so that a church is not so dependent. Normally, if the main pastor leaves, the church attendance goes way down. I don't see that happening here. * Each service is different and special with performance or a unique speaker. * Tons of groups, tons of activities: a benefit for attending a large church. * Parking can be crazy busy, but it's well organized with helpful volunteers to have you navigate. Bottom-line, if you are looking for a church that you get great teaching along with a show (music and performance), a church you can join a group and get involved, I encourage you to check this wonderful church out.

I (by the books) am Catholic, however, I find the Catholic Church anything but informational, spiritual, and open to diversity. My husband and I started going to non-denominational churches as we have made our way moving across the country. We have found that the style of these churches (rock band, inspiring/in-depth sermons) have really hit home to us. When we first moved to Agoura Hills we tried several of these churches, but the best (we've ever been to) is Gateway Church. I will never forget the first day (first 3 minutes) we were at Gateway. As we were entering the church, we were greeted with a VERY pleasant and Genuine smile from Joseph. He then introduced us to 5 or so more people, all who acted similarly. While I understand many people are turned off by this, I have never been so welcomed into a community so quickly, so un judged, so happily. Now, because of certain circumstances in my life, I am unfortunately not able to attend every week, sometimes several weeks of church. However, despite only having been a few times, they always recognize us and are able to recall our story and check in on our lives. Today, was the best day when it comes to the community. After church, we stood speaking with the pastor Brian for a few minutes, and was then approached by Kelly. She reached out to us asking (no judgment) if we would like to attend Bible Study. It was so wonderful, as I had during church been thinking I would like to get to know the people in the church even better, become a little more involved, and learn just a bit more, and there she was. The community in this church is mind-blowing. If you are looking to create a family out in the community, look no further. Please visit Gateway Church. The next best thing from the community are the sermons. The quality, time, and effort put into each weeks sermons are just incredibly educational and moving. Week after week, I leave church with a new message in my hands hoping to carry it on. I, also, really like at the very beginning of most sermons they have a video that discusses a section of the Bible through drawings (making it fun!). As I was looking on their website today, I noticed that they have their sermons posted online to listen to. So, if for whatever reason you couldn't attend church for that Sunday, but would like to still hear God's message, you can listen in for 30 minutes or so. Spectacular. Finally, the music. While it might be a little loud, (just a little), It is so uplifting. Everyone in the room is singing, slightly dancing, clapping their hands, and are speaking to The Lord. If any of what I have said interests you, I strongly encourage you to check this church out. I'm never going to want to leave Agoura Hills.
