If you swing by on a Sunday, I'd love to hear your thoughts and impressions!

I recently became a Member & have been attending for three months. I have the blessing of my previos Pastor, which is important, through attending the Men's Brotherhood Bible study the Lord moved my heart to attend this Curch. I am blessed to sit in a church that is celebrating 43yrs in ministry with no scandals( sexual or otherwise), no mishandling or impropriety handeling the finances. I sit under Pastoer MCRAE a clean man of God loving & serving the people. In addition he has deep insights into the Word of God, & is costantly admonishin the congregation to study intently with purpose the Bible. Praise & Worship by the Choir is Awesome, Bro Eugene the Director is annointed. I would say to anyone seeking a Truely Wonerful Church to come & visit Tabenacle of David. Sincerely Bro Guy Harris

When you enter the church you are overwhelmed with its holiness and its mosaic artistic windows expressing biblical moments. The alter prepares a welcome with its beauty and reverence expresseing the love of our Lord in offering himself for us. The spirituality of the church services and the faith of it's staff and church members reflect the sincere love they have for God and Jesus Christ, our Lord and the Holy Spirit. They pray and sing from the heart. It's a sanctuary to all who enter. Attending service here is a spiritual experience and is healing for the soul. Drop by and experience it for yourself. Vera H.

When I was younger I came here as a child and into my teenage years as I was raised catholic. (I…read morehave then since converted to Judaism). Overall this church is really nice, large and well kept up, both inside and out. The priests at the time were all really nice and always very caring (they have now since change priests). As the years went on, things started to change within the church and there were certain people that left. They were too many rules and people felt that they were being control. It was also rumored that there had been some funny business within the priests group which of course is disturbing in any religious setting for anyone to hear of. Which is why my family stopped coming here and they started attending another church around our area. The church does have a large hall for parties or weddings, complete with a stage, kitchen, bathrooms, tables & chairs and large sitting/dance area. There is a parking lot across the street from the church that can be used but other than that parking can be found on the street. Such a shame that such a beautiful place doesn't get as much attention after what happened.

I have attended Sunday and weekday morning church services at St. Ambrose Church. I am pleased to…read moresay that this church pretty much still has the same exteriors and interiors that I had remembered (barely) as a child. Which is more than I can say for some of the churches here in the SF Bay Area. What I do wish there was space for the statue of the founder of the Salesian order, St. John Bosco. This parish is run by the Salesian order, headed by two Salesian priests from India and one in residence. They are very nice and very friendly priests. The Mother likes how one of them delivers his homilies: he starts by telling you what he is going to tell you; he tells you what he is going to tell you and then he summarizes what he has just told you. I have to agree, I quite like his homily style--works for me very much. What has changed is the congregation. I am used to quiet before and after the service so I can pray. It was a bit of a shock to come in and the church is a social hall. Okay, so much for quiet prayer and reflection. I am very used to going to church as if I was on my way to the library. The congregation is very spirited and very friendly. On one of my very first visits, one of the members was way too inappropriately friendly: this person practically accosted me while I was looking at the stained glass windows of the apostles and saints. I do not want to go into the gorey details about what happened. This person was way too friendly (in such an inappropriate way) for my tastes which is one of the reasons why I will stay an occasional visitor to St. Ambrose. I had the pleasure of travelling with one of the priests at this church on a pilgrimage to France/Italy last summer in celebrating his 25 years as a Salesian priest. This priest is one of the main reasons why I will still visit St. Ambrose when I can. (I just have to be prepared to avoid a certain member of the congregation or two by running the other way as fast as I can.)

The smoke usage during the mass can be distracting and can bother people. Also the blessing with the holy water by the priest can hit you hard (we all have seen the priest whack the choir member in the eye with that). I attend either Saturday 5pm or Sunday 8:30am, 10am, 12pm, or 5:30pm mass. Not hard to find seating at either time. Parking can fill up at the church lot.

During this pandemic, there have been very encouraging, inspiring and uplifting masses, messages and outreach efforts. The church does so much to reach out and help the community.

I have heard so many great things about Victory Outreach and all that they do for the community in…read moreboth San Francisco and Sacramento, so I must say that I was quite disappointed when I went to the church in Fairfield and was blown away by the constant mention of money and giving. "$5 dollars isnt enough $10 isnt enough." "I dont see anyone calling back the offering plate". I understand that in order to provide for the community the church needs to have resources, but after this encounter I was definitely turned off and honestly felt the urge to call back the offering plate to get my money back since my $10 wasn't enough. I decided to research this location after this encounter, and it turns out that the comment the pastor made about being at the church if people want to find them is pretty accurate since from what I can tell, that is the only place this church can be found in the Fairfield community. Is this location actually part of the Victory Outreach organization or just using the name to try and make money? Don't get me wrong, after the service everyone seemed friendly enough and I had a fabulous conversation about GOD and recovery with the lady serving the cookies, but the main message itself was lost on me for sure. GOD is about helping the hurting not passing the collection plate. I would definitely change your approach in the future or your church will stay as empty as it was the day I was there.

That was a blessing!…read more Apostolic Church, the way it's supposed to be. Convenient location. Right off the 80 exit. Wrap around a corner, down the hill from McDonald's and Starbucks, nestled within a neighborhood. Ample parking+street. Felt the Spirit hittin' the door. Most saints are on time, as I was a literal few minutes late. There's a 9am and an 11:30 service. I attended both, with Sunday School inbetween. Excellent Word from Pastor Bryan Harris (as I've heard him when he visited other church services), good Word from Mother Hubbard (founder's wife), and comforting thought that this is #truechurch! There's 5 Sunday School sessions: adult (preaching at me versus school where there's an interaction, young adult, senior, children, and new member. 2-sided pew seating. Church of ~few hundred. Clean restroom. Welcoming saints. Too much info on welcome table. Kitchen/dining attached (with delicious food by the feed-a-soul-and-tummy ministry). All-in-all, great time.
