The church building is simple and light and airy, making for a peaceful place to worship. The congregations ranges from children to retirees and it is a warm and welcoming place.

It is a community that provides a home for all who need a spiritual experience....an emotional as well as an intellectual experience. I love that we have atheist, Hindu, Buddhist, Wiccan, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim members. It is true....we pray...to the spirit of life......and meditate....and sing out the joy in our hearts! The idea that God is anthropomorphic is not an idea one would receive here at WUU. Rather, the word "God" is a metaphor for all that is sacred in the universe. It Is the term used to reflect the awe with which we look to nature, to the stars, to the unknowable depths and intricate complexities of the universe. This denomination has Deist and Christian roots, but members know that our "standing on the side of love" means that we welcome all people....all colors, all ethnic groups, all sexual identities....everybody. They are worthy. They are welcomed. They are fed spiritually in this space. They also have many opportunities to practice social and environmental justice.

I hate the idea of rating churches because it's such a personal experience, but I'll give it my…read morebest shot. Before walking in the doors, you're greeted by people who seem to actually want to know you. Everyone is so friendly and engaging. The service is around an hour and a half, but that is the because the worship is a bit long. Although worship is long, it feels short because the Spirit really flows. I, personally, wish it were longer. The sermon is biblically based. The pastor is nice and his preaching style is engaging. There are young people, old people l, and many different races.As far and the building, it is modern, but with homages to chapels. It is clean, and the bathrooms are also clean and can accommodate the amount of people the church attracts. After much thought, I couldn't think of anything bad to say about the church. If you are looking for a church, check them out. I felt the Spirit when I walked in.

Wow, I can review my synagogue? Neat!…read more In case people are actually looking on Yelp for insights on whether to attend religious services when they're visiting Williamsburg, I wholeheartedly recommend Temple Beth El to you. Here are some things you might want to know before you go: -The synagogue is not affiliated with a movement. This is maybe my favorite thing about it, but it is likely not to be exactly what you're used to no matter what movement you're a part of. Certainly, the advantage is that you'll meet Jews of all shapes, sizes, and persuasions here. -Shabbat services: Ma'ariv is 7:30 year-round, Shacharit is 10:00 AM year round, but they only have Shacharit services once a month (usually first Saturday) during summer. -The congregation is small enough that visitors are usually recognized and possibly asked to introduce themselves during the announcements before the conclusion of the service. -Likewise, if you stand for kaddish, you may be asked if you would like to share a memory of your loved one. You should feel free to accept or decline this invitation. To me it's a pretty heartwarming custom, and I very much enjoy hearing others' memories, but we are all very respectful of those in mourning and do not want to make them feel uncomfortable. If anyone has any other questions about Beth El, I was a Sunday school teacher here for a year and spent many more attending services, so please feel free to send me a message.

The pastor, Jim Weston, is very friendly and very knowledgeable. He preaches a good sermon twice on Sundays, because we have two services. One is traditional and the other is contemporary. Awanas (Bible for kids) start at 2 years old with the Puggles and continues through high school. There are Sunday morning Bible studies in which to get involved. There are Wednesday night dinners to enjoy. I will go back -- every Sunday and Wednesday. :)

However, if you are seeking Christ, seeking to grow in Him as the Scriptures say "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Bur made himself of no reputation, and took on the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as man HE humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Therefore, GOD has highly exalted HIM and given Him a name which is above every name; that at THE NAME OF JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the Father." AMEN! and AMEN! However, if you just want to check religion off your resumé .....I think you get the message. Study Isaiah 53 along with this passage in Philipians 2:5-11. Time is getting short and the days are getting darker. Along with Joshua as he crossed over the Jordan river my confession is this: "Choose this day whom you shall serve. As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord."

Before I give my review, I wanted to address the pure ignorance in a comment/review from "Rich T…read moreCosta Mesa, CA"... so many things to address: #1) I did not know that we are to walk around announcing ourselves as "New Testament Christians" and "Old Testament Chrsitians," that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard and is baseless, but is practically the defense the reviewer is using to mask envy for God's presence in this church. We are ONE Christian Body of Christ, learning the entire book. #2) God told them, "You must without fail give a tenth ["tithe," KJV] of everything your seed produces in the field year by year," which by my calculation is 10%-- Deut. 14:22. #3) I was very involved with this church from 2006- late 2009 before I moved away, yet was born again and saved from the ministry of this church; it is my foundation and in my heart ever since but I tithed what I could, when I could, and God made a way for them through other tithers and they expanded to the new building BECAUSE we had no more room for people lol. I am family because everyone is family at CCNN but by genealogy or DNA I am not related whatsoever. I praised the Lord on the worship team and am so blessed to have felt close to every member whom treated me like family. #5) What a TESTAMENT TO PASTOR TONY that his wife or any literal family member who attends this ministry, or helps out, who shows up because what would it say about PT's work delivering the word if they didnt!! The audacity to call God's calling amongst any of his family to serve, as nepotism. The assumption is ignorance and tells me this reviewer never attended but a few times or less. The concentration of this reviewer was not on praise for Jesus, not for thanks and glory to God, not for ears to hear, not with an open heart to be in discipleship and not with desire in learning scripture, but to judge with probable racism and opinion as a confused "Old Testament Christian" who did not read Deuteronomy in the Old Testament. My review is, the staff is humble and God-fearing. They seek to know Him like an everlasting hunt as we all should. The congregation are kind stewards and believers, many have come to know Christ and Amen for that! There is an entire kingdom daycare for the children per age group and they are taught, and ministries for teens. Calvary Chapel Newport News is the ideal church and business model rooted and covered with the blood of Jesus and we should have many more locations per state as I now live in Michigan and wish that church was here! I am proud to have started my walk CORRECTLY as a member here and I continue to watch Live online. Pastor Tony Clark and his amazing wife Jenise are anointed and chosen and have pure hearts compelled to serve God's people from the start of their living room to almost 5 services every Sunday, but God is good and made a way, growing his fishbowl to 4 services or a bigger building as righteously deserved in 30 years service. We pay for good food at restaurants, and similarly we tithed for good service!! Do not be deceived and please trust that CCNN will be your home, your family, and will be a place you can draw closer to God more than any other church in Virginia. They really do Reach In, Reach Up, Reach Around, and Reach Out. I won't be quiet, My God is alive in this church, so defend I must Sincerely, Taryn Bruce
