I discovered this church from my in-laws, who have been attending this church for years…read more Never being raised to attend church, nor being raised in a religious household, I was and am a Believer and the Christian Faith speaks to me and gives me great comfort. My first impression of this beautiful church is exactly that...it's a simply gorgeous campus filled with plenty of parking, lush landscaping, and there are several modern, beautiful buildings on campus. They have a gathering area outside, where you can grab a cup of coffee before or after service. The worship buildings are beautifully and simply appointed, and they are comfortable and the seating is ample and comfortable as well. The "stage" where the pastors lead service is high enough where you can see the stage from where you sit. They have a large screen in back of the stage for video and the audio that accompanies it is top notch! Each service we've been to on Sunday is beautifully and highly focused on musical worship, which I've never experienced at churches before to this stellar degree. The church has a nice group of very talented musicians and vocalists who perform so well together and include a video backdrop on stage on the screen the lyrics so parishioners can sing along. The ministers he tee are fantastic, down to earth and make you feel at home. I have enjoyed listening to each of their sermons and always leave here feeling the love of God and of my fellow man and woman in attendance , as everyone here is so nice and friendly! This church has so much to offer and I feel so fortunate to be able to worship here! It feels like family!

Reading these reviews, it's almost like you and I are talking about a different church. From the…read morethings said by most of the reviews, it doesn't appear as if some of these people actually went to the church. I have been attending Foothills for 26 years. It is a very healthy, welcoming church, a community. It offers so many venues in which to be involved or participate. It is very strong in children and youth programs. There are several pastors on staff who take turns preaching, which gives variety and keeps things interesting. It is Biblically based. That is what I want in a church. And, there is no political bias shown. Brian's take on it is, if you are contemplating voting for someone, look at their platform, judge it against God's word and see if this person supports your values. I am 67, have been in many churches, my father was a pastor for 40 years. I consider myself to be a pretty good judge, and I give Foothills *****.

We have been attending for the past 2 years and I love it! Our family is so blessed to be apart of the Bayside church and love the heart they have for people.

It's a God centered church with Jesus, family and community. Gods favor is here.

The YA/YP groups were often self run by volunteers and didn't get much support or promotion from the church staff and quickly dwindled in attendance and dissolved. While the church has city presence and outreach efforts it is run like a business with a revenue focus and sermons are topical but not deep into the Bible for the adults attending. You will feel more left out if the focus is heavily on having families and you aren't at that stage of life.

So happy to have a church in Folsom Ranch!…read more Since moving to Folsom in 2020, my family has been looking for a church to call home. Until now, we could not find a church that met our criteria or needs. Beacon Church has checked every box on our list and more. 1. We felt that the Pastor Bryce and his wife, Shelbie as well as all the other members of the church took genuine effort to get to know our family and make us feel welcomed. When we experienced a hardship, we received multiple texts from people in the church providing us with prayer, love, and support. We were offered meals and help with running errands. 2. They provide wonderful childcare for the little ones during service. Our 2 year old daughter loved Sunday school and looks forward to it every week. We trust and feel safe leaving our daughter in their hands while we enjoy service. 3. They create a sense of community and family within the church and neighborhood. We are remembered and greeted excitedly by name when we attend church. The church has held multiple family friendly events in the neighborhood including family movie night at the park, a kite festival, and colorfest event. 4. We feel welcomed and not intimidated at all for where we are in our walk with faith. My husband and I are in different parts of our journey in regards to our faith and neither of us have ever felt pressured or intimated by anyone at the church or Pastor Bryce's sermons. They meet us where we're at and support and encourage us needed. I can go on and on about how much we love Beacon Church.

I am writing to update my review of this church because it is under temporary new leadership. The…read morenew temporary pastor is a far better man than any pastor this church has had in the past. The members and elders remain largely unchanged, and the issues I raised in my initial review remain serious problems BUT it is clear that this man is at least trying to lead the community in a godly way rather than seeking personal glory through the twisting of God's word. This new pastor won't be staying, he is only leading the search for a permanent replacement, so whether the church truly changes is impossible to predict at this point but for now it seems like a possibility, and that is a huge change. Given all the other choices for places to worship in Placerville I would still recommend fishing somewhere else, but I did feel I should update my review to reflect this small, temporary change in the hope that lasting change does eventually take hills.

The first visit there I was SOOO focused on the fact that they were "Baptist" that I missed the message! Seriously! I had to admit when asked that I missed the entire message. I came back the following week and have been there since! The church has had it's share of ups and downs because we are a congregation of sinners saved by grace. We have grown stronger in our since of community and love and respect towards one another. THis church is definitely my church "Home"

My mom is also a fan of this parish and enjoys listening to Father Renier. I also appreciate their gift shop within the church which in my opinion, has some pretty reasonably-priced items. I've already purchased different statues and gifts for house blessings for family and friends. I'd say that in all of Sac County, this is the only gift shop that I've been to so far that have a variety of items from bracelets, prayer cards, Saint cards, Holy Family and Saint statues, holy water don't and many other things. So it's definitely my fave place to visit for gifts. Inside the church, there is beautiful Divine Mercy chapel area where you can light candles and also pray to St. Joseph.
