This review is for St. James wedding coordinator and planning. I am not a parishioner of St. James…read morebut priest Father Bong Rojas was kind enough to perform my nuptial mass at St.Francis in Sacramento. His preparation was incredibly kind and down to earth. I felt that at the time he delivered the homily at our mass, he really knew me and my husband. The St. James wedding coordinator is WONDERFUL. Mrs. Colenzo was hands down the most helpful person we encountered in 3 parishes! She is a calm person, helpful and very organized. She had so many good ideas to help make our mass go smoothly and was able to help us over the phone and accommodate our schedule when we came in to Davis from SF. If you are trying to decide on a wedding location and you have the option to marry in Davis, do it! The best support and organization in all of the Sacramento Parish.

During undergrad ('04-'08) I would usually try to attend one of the Newman masses for holy days of…read moreobligation, or the ones held on campus. Following those years I started coming to St. James after hearing Father Bong Rojas pastor there. Nowadays I stop in occasionally for daily mass at 7AM (Father Doogan) to start the day early/right and not be late for work or cut into my evening (compared to the 8:30AM or 6:30PM options at Divine Mercy Natomas closer to home). Was most recently there for Ash Wednesday. There is a small parking lot in the front of the church along B Street, but also a larger parking lot behind the church, entrance on W. 14th. The pews are pretty creaky and the sound system is showing signs of age too, which can be forgiven as part of its "charm" I suppose...kneelers still in pretty good shape. Stained glass windows are beautiful. Also, this may be the foodie part of me, but their communion host (wafer) has a nice taste to it. I can't say that about all parishes. I don't go to Sunday mass here, so I only get to see the one piano player or cantor, and lectors rather than full altar servers and choir. I appreciate the ringing of the altar bells during the consecration of bread and wine -- not every church does that either.

I have made numerous visits to this congregation, and as you put yourself out there you will find…read moreyourself in the midst of a group of Christians who truly are seeking Christ. There are many programs, small groups, and events happening at the church throughout the year (the best way to see what is happening is probably on their website). The building itself is very inviting, and the overall decor is appealing. The pastor almost exclusively teaches from inductively studied passages in the Bible such as Philippians or 1st John. Years of frequent attendance and participation have proved to this to be a place to call home.

Let me ask you this: why does a church need a Yelp page? Is it running a business? And then all the…read more5 star reviews, a concerted effort for recruiting freshmen and transfer students even before they come on campus? Anyway, for the actual review. Theology remains on the conservative side. Do what you will with this information, as it's neither here nor there in terms of how this would affect me rating it. Say goodbye to any other friends you might want to make and keep at Davis or after you finish at Davis. Your time is basically solely dedicated to the church. During freshman year, you'll be invited to so many events. It's fun! Sure, but that means less time to meet new people. Then after in sophomore, junior, and senior year, you're given more and more responsibilities, it will most likely take away from your chances to befriend people outside the church. If you leave, they'll be too busy to acknowledge you or keep in touch with you. I've seen peers do extremely poorly in their studies from spending so much time at the church. It resulted in some of them failing out or having to take remedial courses. Prepare to feel bad and guilty about yourself, by the way. The church doesn't outright teach on grace through action instead of freely given grace, but there's a lot of peer-pressure. Really perpetuates many to be workaholics to show they "love" the church. Just my experiences. Feel free to browse subreddit /r/GracepointChurch for more criticisms. 1/5 do yourself a favor and join a different church.

I grew up growing to church in the bay area. When I came to Davis for college and I was thankful…read moreto find a campus fellowship and church that takes the Christian faith seriously. Now Davis is my spiritual home for my family and me. There are many excellent churches in Davis and fellowships on campus. So whether you are a UCD college student looking for a fellowship/church or a young adult wanting to jumpstart your faith, I'd recommend you check it out for yourself and make your judgments.

Real Life Church has truly transformed my life. I've been attending for 10 years, and I still…read moreremember my very first day walking through the doors. The smiles were contagious, and the message was so powerful. I walked out of service with hope and eager to go back. RLC quickly became my favorite place to be and there's no other church that could compare to what I found here. There are groups for every age, as well as ministries for young adults, couples, and everyone in between. No matter where you come from or what season of life you're in, there's a place for you here. This isn't a church for show--it's a church that helps you grow spiritually, understand the Word of God, and meets you right where you are. All that is requested is that you come with an open heart and mind. God and Real Life will take it from there.
