    My wife and I experienced a very peaceful, relaxed atmosphere, which truly embraces the call to…read more"come just as you are" (which we do, since we have 19 month old, so just getting to church on time is a miracle in itself). We sincerely appreciate the warmth we've received from all church staff, volunteers, and attendees. Also, truly blessed by the Thursday night service, which allows us to attend church as a family (since my wife works weekends). Blessings! Maranatha

    I will start off by saying how much I admire and respect the community that Real Life Church has…read morebrought to Santa Clarita. There are a lot of activities and thrills and frills to be distracted from our God from a biblical perspective, a church that is not walking in the Holy Spirit, may still have programs like worship and political teachings, but this place is lacking the transformational power on the fruit that the scripture says the Holy Spirit produces. Today in service, they discussed satisfying our soul and God does not want us to satisfy our souls so he wants us to satisfy and wake up our spirit. Things that satisfy our soul are materialistic, habitual and not lasting. They are quite destructive. Although there are lots of signs of joy, peace, patience, and kindness flowing through this church. I do see a cause for concern. I have been coming here for over nine years and do enjoy the community aspect that the church has brought to our society. I do believe that many of us and all of us have access to the Holy Spirit and many gifts from our father. Although I have heard it preached that we may have one gift. And believe that is quite limiting as our God has no limits. I do appreciate that they have a PRAYER team where people can go and request help but don't understand why they are not teaching and expressing the healing power of Jesus Christ. There are so many people in this world who need healing and they never discuss these things or have access to them through their church. Although they do carry popcorn during their month-long movie series and feminine products in the bathroom. Maybe the pastor needed a vacation this summer and this is why movie series is happening. I do not believe that it should be built off materialism. Yes they have money, and yes, they have power, but that's not enough for our Jesus. I really hope they actually start to discuss the spirit, as their music team is filled with the Holy Spirit, and I don't believe they are acknowledged for what they offer prior to their sermons being preached. They do occasionally have worship nights where they focus just on music, which I believe is really beautiful because the Holy Spirit comes through worship and singing. Thank you very much to our Music staff and PRAYER team for being available. Ultimately, the strongest biblical evidence of the Holy Spirit's presence is not simply an emotional experience or miraculous signs, but lives that are actually increasing and transformed in the character of Jesus Christ. I hope they bring this into their church because it's really important. I hope they're Deacon and pastoral staff start to think a little bigger because our God is so big!! Don't be afraid to try something new and experience some other local churches. God does not want us to be comfortable in routine and to stay stagnant. He wants us to grow. And I hope and pray you continue to grow as well. God bless and amen.

    On Sunday, August 17, 2025 Crossroads Community Church celebrated its 19th anniversary,…read morecongratulations to them! I was also celebrating my own milestone, one year since I discovered this wonderful church. A year ago, my 7-year-old grandson and I decided to go "church hopping." I was born and raised Catholic, but after one particular Sunday Mass, I felt empty and wanted more. I asked my grandson if he wanted to visit some different churches with me, and he eagerly agreed. When we first pulled up to Crossroads, it looked like they were celebrating something, and I thought it might be too crowded. But my grandson wanted to go inside, so we did. The plan was to continue church hopping the following week, but that day changed everything, we both fell in love with Crossroads. Pastor Todd's message touched me deeply. In just one service, I learned so much and couldn't wait to share it with my family. I felt God so strongly in my heart that I was moved to tears. This church truly reaches people in a powerful way, and from that day forward, we have been coming ever since. Pastor Todd Smith, thank you for your sermons, your guidance, and your heart for God. May He bless you, your family, and all the other pastors at Crossroads. With all my heart, thank you. H & C

    My wife and I have come recently from a small church that we loved and we were initially…read moreintimidated by its great size in comparison, but after attending a few mid-week events have found a loving family church that is eager to connect and embrace and walk-alongside of. The preaching and teaching is unhindered as they represent God's word with accuracy and intimacy. The leadership are transparent in their constant need for our Lord, Jesus Christ and by example encourage others. I saw some other posts disparaging the worship team, but I find the music helpful, uplifting, and encouraging in praising the Lord with my mind, body, and soul I really appreciate the amount of scripture that is included in the songs. I highly recommend this church and I hope to see you there! (I highly recommend to join a midweek Bible study.)
