The disgusting part, even predatory, was when the pastor said to me "I know you don't have much family left, and now you won't have your church family either". How disgusting to manipulate someone and coerce them to agree to any terms just to keep their friends, that is pretty low.

My Journey to Finding a Church Home I started going to Rock…read moreChurch last Christmas, and it all began with the Ugly Sweater service. That one experience told me everything I needed to know--this was the church for me. Their "come as you are" and "all are welcome" message isn't just something they say--it's something they live. Let me start by saying I'm 62 years old. I've always considered myself spiritual, but not necessarily religious. Maybe it has something to do with the 12 years I spent in Catholic school. Faith has always been important to me, but I never quite found a church community that felt like home--until now. A few things immediately put me at ease and made me realize this was the church family I'd been searching for. Pastor Rebecca shared openly about her struggles with faith--how she questioned it many times over the years. That honesty made me feel seen and reminded me it's okay to wrestle with doubt. In later services, she continued to speak vulnerably about her faith, her family, and even her own challenges. She's real, and that means everything. Every time Pastor Rebecca speaks, I feel like I'm learning something. She breaks things down in a way that's approachable--combining scripture, educational insight, humor, and vulnerability. She doesn't preach at us--she invites us into the message. Pastor Connie is the real deal too. She's not overly polished or rehearsed, and her messages always give me something to reflect on. She shares from her own life experiences, which makes her so approachable and genuine. She's encouraged us to listen for God, to be patient, to trust that prayers will be answered in His time. Most of all, she reminds us that God is in our corner--not judging us, but loving us and lifting us up. She's also spoken about the fears we all carry--not just for ourselves, but for the marginalized and vulnerable in today's world. She doesn't shy away from tough topics but meets them with compassion and truth. There was a time when I walked out of a Christmas service at another church feeling completely discouraged. The head pastor told the congregation that some of us weren't going to make it--and I left that day wondering if I'd ever find a church that inspired me to do good, to be good, and to believe that God truly wants us to succeed. A place where Jesus is more than a symbol--He's a friend, a brother, an example to live by. And I'm happy to say I've finally found that place. Rock Church has become the spiritual home I didn't even realize I was searching for. I'll be honest--they encourage us to participate and get involved, and I haven't quite stepped into that yet. For now, I've been watching from afar, soaking it all in. But something in me knows... I won't be sitting on the sidelines forever. And I haven't even mentioned the worship team--amazing! The music is so moving, and sometimes Pastor Connie or Pastor Rebecca are right up there, singing or playing guitar. It's not a performance--it's worship. I can truly feel the Holy Spirit through the songs, and there have been moments when I've been brought to tears. So, if you're someone still searching for a place where you're accepted as you are... a place that feeds both your heart and your mind... a place where faith is real, honest, and alive--this might be that place for you too.

I tried to be of service too but didn't end up getting a job there . I ran into hardship eventually and we ended up not pre paying for day care at some point and was told we needed to leave work and come get the children. I believe we were 50 bucks behind . This is when the church went completely sideways, I would get calls almost daily asking for the 50 dollars , I had pulled the kids out of day care completely and found other means , at the time we started even using the food pantry because we were struggling so bad , Andy was head of music , he would give me a reminder every Sunday of what I owed too , even when I showed up to pick up food from the food pantry, I can't remember if it was Andy's wife , I think it was , I'm not certain but a lady literally made us feel so terrible for being so broke , I have never had a church make me feel so ashamed for not paying them money ( 50 bucks sadly ). I even asked if they could just help me with it or hold off until I get back on track . But they never let me live it down . It seems so petty . I know, it's been over 6 yrs now and I'm doin really great today , thank the good lord and I'm currently looking for a church again , I have not been back to a church since then . I really wanted to share this experience because it truly hurt my heart . I hope they are not this way still but it really felt like they all were clicked up with each other and had no problem shaming you tell you leave . They continued calling for a good long time too . It was a very sad story all the way around . All over 50 dollars, I'll never understand.

After the third year in a row again disappointment with the 2025 Thanksgiving Dinner for Veterans at the Washoe County Senior Center in Reno, we were plain relieved to discover that The Bridge Church was having a complimentary 2025 Thanksgiving dinner buffet for Veterans, as it turned out to be a very very well-organized, distinguished and sophisticated event. A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. -- Eeyore We met many real Christians here which was a relief as we've been meeting far too many CINOs, Christian in Name Only. Many many volunteers from Cookies for Kindness, Reno Arch Lions Club and The Bridge Church, who have all clearly have taken the pledge To Always Remember Veterans and To Leave No Veteran Behind, treated us with dignity, respect, compassion, love, kindness, warmth, manners, consideration, thought, empathy, and thanks as we received over the couple hours we were there, some three dozen thank you, for your Service. The dining hall, tables, table cloths, and napkins were all elegant and classy Thanksgiving decorated. The plates and utensils were high quality rigid plastic well mimicking expensive plates and silverware. The food was all traditional Thanksgiving fixings, and it was all delicious. After our first trip through the buffet line, the very large staff, ranging from children to seniors, waited on us. We were never rushed out. Our hosts really went all out in filling attendee's needs. The combination of the attention to detail, savory food selection, sodas, coffee, tea, water, and exceptionally good customer service meant we lingered a bit longer over our meal, smiled a bit more, pondered the delicious tastes and the pampering we received, and just relaxed as we visited with old Veteran friends and new Veteran friends. They loaded up us with to-go boxes. Here I saw the words in the Bible consistently in action. Proverbs 3:27 "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act." And Hebrews 13:2 "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." "Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." 1 Peter 5:2-3 No preaching at us. Instead we saw all the many volunteers and staff being powerful examples to the flock of attendees. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. --Mother Teresa. We left happier than we arrived. You betcha I'll be back. P.S. Don't message me because in spite of my several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me :-(

Okay, so about me: I like to attend a variety of churches. I attend Centers for Spiritual Living Science of Mind, Unity, Buddhist, Native American, Jewish, and Christian as I really like what is written that Jesus said. One of my favorite Christian churches is Sparks Christian Fellowship. I've been variously attending Sparks Christian Fellowship services, classes and events for a couple of decades and have enjoyed them all. Cleanliness at Sparks Christian Fellowship . . . no worries. It has been my consistent and rewarding experience here that church leadership, church staff, church members, and church volunteers are well-organized, and all walk the talk of Jesus. Matthew 25:35-36 where Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." In stark contrast to many businesses we've frequented lately: No automatic gratuity was demanded for our attendance. No one at this business offered to commit fraud to reward us or pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business. (Under 15 US Code § 45, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the power to stop and penalize parties "FTC forbids the use of fake testimonials as are illegal under Section 5 of the FTC Act (15 USC 45 as they are using unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce." It a crime to break official rules imposed by the FTC.) No one at this business hassled us about our Service Dog or the Veterans' accouterments we adorn her with lavishly. (When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.) No one at this business took our picture without our permission or publicly posted it without our permission. I'll be back.

We paid our $4,000 plus all of the expenses associated with such a trip (vaccinations, clothing and such). 7 days before the trip Living Stones "found out" we'd attended the Center for Spiritual Living (a place that honors all people and love through God). We were questioned heavily about this and my comment on having "Higher Intuition". I had to clarify multiple times that I am not a medium nor practicing mediumship but rather trying to figure this all out. Side note: Living Stones Reno was founded on the ideology of Higher Intuition when the lead Pastor had a vision he was leading a church of people and preaching the Gospel (or at least that's what was shared with us during the membership meeting at LS Sparks). My husband and I requested a meeting with the team lead, Adam and for him to request the lead pastor Kyle join us. Kyle was evidently busy until Monday (4 days before our scheduled mission trip to Guatemala) so Adam rounded up whomever he could find, another Pastor, Shay to meet with us. Though apparently we weren't welcome at the church and they suggest a very busy Starbucks within walking distance of the church were we sat outside freezing in an attempt to not be publicly humiliated with all of Starbucks listening in. The sad part, the decision was made long before we ever sat down to discuss. I discussed that I do have these visions and that I'm trying to figure them out but that they are God centered and he is always the focus of everything in our lives. They ultimately decided that we COULD serve Living Water Organization however NOT along side them. I called Living Water first thing the following morning and they immediately told me they do not support such decisions and they are more than happy to place us on a team of Christians who would welcome us with open arms and love on us. (Says a lot for this Living Stones church). I informed them I was completely heartbroken and that I feel at this point it would bleed through while trying to serve. Long story short. This church loves CONDITIONALLY. If you meet their conditions, you deserve to serve along side them. If you do not, sorry, they determine your heart and ability to serve Jesus Christ. I will continue to pray for all of Gods people. I recommend finding a church that loves unconditionally and a Pastor willing to take time for emergency situations. Also, they quickly threw in that to serve on a mission trip you had to be a covenant member. We didn't attend this church for 6 weeks and not one person noticed enough to even call us. We also were NOT members when they allowed us to sign up for the trip. Super hypocritical and self serving.
