If you get involved with bible studies and small group activities it is so easy to get people and connect. The music is great - the sermons are the perfect length and my kids love the sunday school groups they are in. The church is very active within the community, and especially with the schools. When we were looking for a church to call home we were looking for somewhere that was a bible teaching church that didn't come off as "fake" - after two visits to Creekside, we knew we'd found what we were looking for.

The best church ever. What I like about this church is that everyone feels welcomed and included.

Pastor is very authentic and preaches about application of the Bible and spiritual principles to daily life problems. You can feel the Holy Spirit up in that place.

I was there on a day when many of the members were giving their personal testimonies on stage. Their stories brought me to tears and also joy and hope. I got a sense of genuineness there. Even as I was getting to my vehicle, I overheard a man witnessing to a couple in the parking lot. It's evident that the love and holy spirit overflows out of this church and into the community.

I have been a Catholic all my life and went to Jesuit Univ. When I went to get communion. Priest would not administer and nod and made faces to me. Very embarrassing for me. Could have at least guided me. When I go to mass I want to feel peace and be in communion with Christ feel well. Also did not know that I had to wear a Mantilla during mass. This is the first time I have been instructed in a mass to wear one. A lady brought one to me so I could use. Do not know who has used that before. At my age I know the Catholic Church rules. Also said Mass was at 8 am started after 9 am.

In February, the congregation installed a pastor, Rev Kathryn. Kathryn is a warm and friendly leader whose sermons are spiritual but also human and relevant. I feel fortunate to have found FCC Martinez. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking community, paths to supporting social justice, spiritual guidance, and/or friends. I have found that the motto of this UCC Church, to embrace anyone no matter who they are or where they are on life's journey, is reflected in the actions of congregants and pastor alike.

Lucky me, they had deserts laid out on a table as they were having a cake sell after church. I did buy several delicious items. The outside of the church is beautiful as is the sanctuary. The songs were the new kind, sang loudly with exuberance. I like that they have hymnal books on the back of the pews as if we might hold a hymnal book and sing an old hymn. No other churches have them in my experience. That's the first thing I liked. Pastor Ortiz gave a heart warming sermon about making good decisions. He has a good sense of humor and a strong desire to follow God. That's second. As my mother and I were new, most everyone looked at us and smiled. Many people stopped to introduce themselves to us. That's the third thing I liked about attending: we weren't invisible. We intend to make this our church and become members and become family.

Even…read morethough I have moved around as an adult, I have always considered this my home church family. I have received prayers, love, and support while I have been away, and I have always been welcomed home with a warm embrace. I was married here, and my children were dedicated here, although we lived far away at the time. We have recently moved back to Martinez, because of our church family. This is the church we want our children to grow up in, where they will be surrounded by people who strive to live God's Word. This church pulls around its members in need, in a way I have never experienced elsewhere. If you want to meet some people who are welcoming and will help you at any stage of your walk with God, then please feel free to join us.

But we felt God's presence as we kept coming back and coming back. Now almost 7 years later we are still blessed every week being a part of this church community. My husband, 3 kids, and I love the friendships we have made through Mission groups and love Sunday services. Every single week the gospel is preached. We love not only Pastor Tyler, but all of the amazing pastors and guest pastors who bless us in sharing God's word. Worship is a beautiful and authentic experience, full of joy and praise!
