6 months into our move to the Peninsula, I started searching for a church to go to. A bit of…read morebackground...church has always been a big part of my life, but I can't say that I felt the burning desire to go to church every Sunday. When I was younger, going to church was fun because I got to see and hang out with my friends. We would sit and talk for an hour and a half through the sermon and then get boba after church. As I got older, I started becoming unsure of the leadership in the church and slowly became less interested and eventually, I stopped going completely. So in my search for a new church family, I was very picky. This time around, I was looking for a leader that is passionate. I'd like for his message to speak from the heart and not just reading the bible word for word. I'd love it more if the message is relatable to what I go through in my daily struggles in life. I was looking for a friendly atmosphere, a place where you don't feel pressured - where they don't try too hard. A place with real and genuine intention and that they really want you there. My trusted Yelp led me to The Sacred Church. It's located inside the gym of Burlingame High School but don't let the appearance fool you. You can feel His presence and love and the energy of Pastor Josh will move you. His messages speak to me every time. This guy ROCKS! (if you just saw him walking down the street, you'd think he's just a college kid haha) He took us to Philz Coffee ('cause that's what he does to newcomers) to get to know us and we learned he's a goof ball, which makes us love him more and we don't feel he's intimidating at all as a pastor. His wife is beautiful and she has an amazing voice and their daughter is adorable. We have been coming here for 8 months now and we look forward to coming to Sacred every Sunday. One other thing we love about Sacred is they are hip! Ok, they serve Philz coffee and their coffee cups are stamped with their logo on it. How cool is that? If you miss a Sunday, you can listen to his recordings on the website. Also, tithings can be done through your phone! Yea, no need to feel bad if you don't have cash. Very current with the technology! So glad I found this church. Seriously, I invite you to check us out!

We moved to the Bay area about six months ago and were searching for a new church to call home. We…read morehad gone to many churches, but couldn't find one that felt like the right fit for our spiritual and family needs. We stumbled upon the Sacred Church through Yelp and decided to give it a try. When we walked in we were instantly greeted by the Pastor. It was not only a welcoming place, but a loving place. We enjoyed a great service with passionate worship and a message that spoke right to us. In addition, the children's service was perfect for our 3 year old daughter. We have now been attending Sacred church for a few months and have not only fallen in love with the church, but also the people. Not only do we leave church filled with an amazing message and great worship, but are able to connect during the week with many activities that take place during the week!

Hi All, I'm not tech savvy so I don't know how to respond to…read morethe negative review we received. Therefore I'm responding via this review feature and giving ourselves 5 stars to boot :) Please know that we welcome all visitors with open arms! But, we do administer the historic practice of closed communion. To learn more about this Biblically sound practice, please read the communion statement below that we give to our guests. Thank you! Communion Statement for Our Guests: We want to express our sincere welcome to you our guests and assure you that it is out of genuine Christian love and spiritual concern that we here at Our Savior's Lutheran Church maintain the early Church practice of "closed communion" (1 Corinthians 11:26-29). Since the Lord's Supper is an expression of our common confession of the Christian faith, we respectfully ask that only members of our church body, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), or those who are in confessional agreement with the LCMS, receive this Sacrament today. We humbly ask this because we believe, teach, and confess that, in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we joyfully receive the actual body and blood of our Savior Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16) together with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of our sins and the strengthening of our faith. (Mathew. 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25). Since Christians are divided on the issue of the Lord's Supper, and since we are warned in Scripture that those who eat and drink the Lord's body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm, we ask that any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or hold a confession differing from that of the LCMS, to please refrain from partaking of the Sacrament until we are able to understand what you believe the Lord's Supper is. However, as our guests, please know that you are most warmly welcome to come forward to the altar to receive a blessing during this time. We simply request that, once at the altar, you cross both arms across your chest to signify your desire to receive a blessing. If you would like more information about this doctrine or any other teaching of the LCMS, we encourage you to please speak with Pastor Hempe. Thank you for honoring our practice and again: welcome!
