You know what they say, Church is like your family? Well, this is so true when I first came here…read more Not knowing everyone at first, but the people here made an effort to make me feel like at home. It's the nicest feeling! There is a good mix of the different ethnicity that comes here for Sunday service. Most are Japanese / Chinese but there are also Indian, Taiwanese, and Italian and a few others. Everyone is welcome. As 1 John 3:23 "And this is his command, to believe in the name of his son , Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us". As for the service, Pastor Daryl makes sure you don't feel like an outsider while coming here. He will gets to know you up close and personal, like family. A dynamic speaker, Pastor Daryl speaks using relevant and recent events so we can all relate and understand the words of God. Upstairs, there is also Japanese bible study for the kids. Really good for social bonding with kids 5-10 years old. So if you're looking for a close knit Christian church in North Orange County, look no further than coming here!

I was looking for a church when I started attending Biola University. After being non-committal at…read moreother churches/church-hopping for about two years, I am grateful to have found a loving community at Orange County Christian Church. This is the friendliest church I have ever visited. It is pretty easy to meet everyone who goes to this church within a couple of weeks since about fifty people attend regularly. Moreover, it's fun to get involved with seasonal events they hold as well as year-round Bible study groups. I'm a part of the college/young adult group that meets about twice a month, and getting to know the people in this group and participating in activities together has been a great blessing. Sunday services usually consist of the following: -- Worship in music (usually a mix of contemporary songs and traditional hymns) -- Asking for prayer requests from the congregation and praying over these new requests as well as on-going requests -- Sermon that goes through a passage of the Bible verse-by-verse

I was so grateful that I was welcomed with open arms and felt so much love from the leader in table 19- Katie. She's been such a blessing to my life and I felt her love from day one. I haven't stopped going since and have made it my home. All the preachers Preach Gods word from the Bible and you can feel God's love and power as soon as you walk in. God loves us all.

This church is great!

They learn and sing new songs and always come home with lots of stories from camp. Most of the time though during the week, the church is not open. But don't fret, you might catch Pastor Erik singing on the weekdays or come during the weekend. They staff here really do make you feel like at home. Great community church. It can be easily missed while traveling on Del Amo Blvd. but do drive slow westbound and look for the fence next to the ABC school.

I've been coming to Cerritos Baptist for just over four years--and I love it! The majority of the…read morecongregants live within 10-15 minutes of the church, so there's a strong sense of community. People regularly fellowship beyond just Sunday worship and midweek small group/Bible study. The strongest draw of this church for me has been the connection and care--truly being seen, and known, and loved--here. I appreciate the way the preaching regularly challenges me. So often God uses the sermons to addressing something in my immediate life (a situation at work, a relationship, an unhealthy thought pattern, etc.) There are four pastors regularly in the speaking rotation, which provides a wonderful balance of preaching styles and sensibilities. I feel the preaching staff does a good job elucidating biblical truths and theological concepts and presenting them in a way that can impact the real lives of lay people. The worship is generally a contemporary style; occasionally they'll throw some hymns into the mix just to keep us on our toes. :) We just went through a sermon series on worship, which has encouraged us to feel more freedom in worship: freedom to stand, or sit; to raise our hands or kneel; to sing aloud or reflect silently on the beauty of God. The overall ambiance (lighting, decorative elements) of the sanctuary also reflects a renewed openness to experience the Spirit's presence as He reveals Himself. As has already been mentioned in another review, the congregation is predominantly a mix of different Asian ethnicities, but there are members from every racial group--and everyone is definitely welcomed! The youth group (for youth grades 6-12) is a phenomenal program designed to reach both kids with no church background and those who have grown up at church. Jon, the youth pastor, really cares for all of the youth in the program, and he's well supported by a fantastic staff who give so much to make the whole program run smoothly. I cannot recommend Cerritos Baptist highly enough!

I'm writing this review with respect for the Catholic Church, but unfortunately our experience with…read moreSaint Peter Chanel Catholic Church was disappointing. My fiancé and I want to get married in the Catholic Church. We were encouraged when we learned that this parish has a confirmation schedule that would allow my fiancé to fulfill his missing sacrament requirements so we could move forward with a Catholic marriage. However, when I called the church to get more information, the interaction left me feeling uncomfortable and discouraged. The woman who answered the phone, named Ana, immediately began asking personal questions--where I live, where my fiancé and I are from, whether I attend this church, and if I even belong to the parish. It felt less like a welcoming conversation and more like being questioned. What stood out most was that once I mentioned that a family member attends this church, she suddenly became more willing to share information. This made the interaction feel unwelcoming and conditional, rather than open and pastoral. For a church that offers programs to help people complete their sacraments and grow in their faith, we expected a more supportive and compassionate approach. Instead, the experience made us feel judged rather than guided. I hope the parish can reflect on how initial inquiries are handled, especially for couples sincerely trying to do things the right way within the Church.

The woman that I spoke with said to me "Well there are so many families in need and if we help her we HAVE to help everyone." Then she asked me if the single mom was had a job or if she was on welfare. What does that have to do with the devastation this family is facing at this time? I have never felt so demeaned in my entire life. I have given my offerings to this church for many years and never once did it matter if I was employed or on welfare. I will be finding a new church.

Several neat neighborhoods, mom and pop shops, as well as schools, and the LosAl race track! They meet at Los Alamitos High school using the theatre for worship service and some Classrooms for their kids ministries. People: The people here are so friendly and inviting. They make you feel like family and the volunteers are so dedicated to making Sunday set up go Smoothly. Parking: The school parking lot is all open for Sundays and it is never hard to find parking. The lot is close to the theatre so you just walk less than 50m to get to the service. Hospitality: Right before you walk in for service there is a grand set up of free coffee, tea, donuts, cookies, fruit, and pastries! As well as a greet team right after the parking lot to welcome you. (Pictured the coffee table set up and behind it the theatre where the worship service takes place). Service: The service starts with worship, a welcome announcement, then a wonderful Biblically centered message, communion, and ending worship. Overall- Highly recommend checking this church out and considering it as a home church if you are looking to grow spiritually, and become a part of a thriving Christian family!
