However, if you need a church family, warmth, and connection - pcc may not be your place. The pastor never once said hello to me after service - in 1.5 years. I am a mom who went alone with my daughter and I really needed to feel connected and accepted and welcomed. I felt almost as alone and invisible there after 1.5 years as I did the first day. I emailed the pastor about this, and he didn't respond to my email. So yes they have fantastic sermons (which you can watch online) and great music. And I did make a solitary friend or two. But for me at least - that was it. Visited another local church the past few sundays. the pastor greeted me warmly on the 2nd visit. I've gone 3 times and so many people have come up and introduced themselves to me - it was fantastic and heartwarming. So I've left pcc. I don't think anyone noticed.

The Center for Spiritual Living, Capistrano Valley welcomes everyone for really entertaining, thought provoking, insightful, and uplifting weekly Sunday messages. Although the CSLCV is listed under "Churches" here on Yelp, people who identify with all sorts of organized religions, or none at all, attend for "soul food" and for practical, spiritual attitudes for everyday living. There are terrific programs, available for free or for love offerings, for children, "tweens", teens, families and singles. Each week there are guest musicians. The Center itself has an awesome band and choir of its own, playing and performing contemporary music. "Adventure Man" plans adventures which you, your family and friends may wish to participate in (Would ballroom dancing be an "adventure" for you? Shooting on a firing range? Singing karaoke? Participating in a flash mob?) Life is an adventure! Make the most of yours! Classes are abundant: Science of Mind, Meditation... there's even an ongoing fitness class at the Center. Right now, the Animal Kinship Ministry's offering dog obedience training (Yes, there's an Animal Kinship Ministry, animals have souls too! It contributes to local animal welfare and rescue organizations as well!). Dr. Heather Dawn Clark is the spiritual leader here and her messages are inspiring, entertaining and motivational. Check out the mid-week "Wednesday Wisdom" evening service and various workshops, presentations, shows, and guest (often internationally recognized) speakers and performers that appear here! They are all open to the public! Everyone leaves the CSLCV feeling joyful and with and with a positive affirmation for the week after every service.

What is Branches like? We want to know Jesus. We want to…read moresee a new life in us, our friends, and in people who have never had a faith or been part of a church. We want to be a people of welcome and laughter, of faith and hope and love, friends and family, justice and changed lives. We want to be a people where the homeless know they can find food, the broken can find healing, and the rejected feel at home. We want people to see our diversity of backgrounds and color and say, "What in the world to these people have in common? It's where one group is working to care for local drug addicts and another is training teachers in Malawi. It's where you will find normal people learning to pray, coming to faith, struggling with temptation, finding new purpose, and getting in touch with His power to carry that purpose out. It's where people bring their own little seed of faith in Jesus and discover, in getting together with others to honor the one true God, that the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. We know that no church is like this all the time. But there are quite a few churches who are partly like this for quite a lot of the time. We want to see what God will do if we let Him, because we believe that He is the Vine; we are the Branches.

That said there a people from all walks of life who attend with a strong contingent of young families. The message is solid, but not pushy. I really enjoy the main pastor's delivery which often includes storytelling, historical context, and an explanation of the actual scripture language used. That may be my favorite part boiling down ancient teachings to terms that are easy to understand. Should you decide to get more involved, there are many different ongoing service opportunities. They actually will support you if there is a cause you care about and want to start your own service initiative for others to plug into. Last, if you have kids, there a two different rooms to drop them off to do crafts and activities that vary by their age. Branches is a good group people up to great things. Definitely worth checking out if you are on a "church search."

It's a great place for anyone who wants to learn more about Jesus Christ and how to find more peace and understanding in this life. Highly recommended.
