Lake Ave Church is a large congregation with a family feel. There are lots of options and ministries to meet your needs: children, teens, young adults, parents, grandparents, seniors, missions, music, etc. They have a ministry for brothers and sisters with different abilities, for those who went through divorce and for those going through illnesses... They support partnered projects to fight human trafficking, homelessness and all those affected by the recent fires. This Church is committed to open the doors to the most in need and serve like Jesus did. English, Spanish and Mandarin groups are available. Come to the service as you are, and find brothers and sisters who are willing to walk with you in this journey. Jesus is the center of worship, and the Word is shared in a way that invites deep reflection and the Holy Spirit's revelation. The Team of Pastors complement each other with their gifts to care, encourage and teach the congregation with transparency and genuine love that is felt in tangible ways. For me, it was the offering to pray for me, supporting me with therapy through partnered professional counseling, welcoming my daughter to serve with me because I didn't have childcare at home, equipping me with deep truths through solid retreats and Bible study, and that biweekly call I receive from a Pastor to check in with me. This has been a healing and growing place where God is surrounding me and my family with love and challenging me to live with the cross and with Jesus's Joy and Hope everyday. Life is certainly not an easy journey, but with God and a Church Family like Lake Ave Church, I feel blessed along the way and embraced with prayers when I go through hardships. If God is talking to you and you don't know where to start, come join Lake Ave Church on Sunday at 9.30am (any weekend) or Wednesday at 6.30pm (beginning 1/14/2026) and let God begin shining His light in you. Do not be intimidated by the size of the Church. Any and all staff are here for you. Just feel free to approach one (any, from the person guiding you at the parking lot to the people you see greeting or in the Welcome Center) and mention your needs. Lake Ave Church is passionate above connecting you to a community, and most importantly, to Jesus, who brings Peace and Healing to your Life!

I attended Vintage Church Pasadena for about a year and a half, starting in January 2025. I've been…read morea Christian for over 18 years, and having moved across the United States a few times, I've had the chance to be involved in, volunteer for, and actively participate in several different churches in each city I've lived in. My experience with Vintage Church Pasadena was, for the most part, a normal and decent one: I attended the newcomers' breakfast, joined multiple events including a young adults' Bible study, and found most of the leadership, volunteers, and congregants to be genuinely kind people. It's a normal church, with the normal mix of good and less-good people you'd find anywhere. During the World Cup this past June, the church's worship pastor created a group chat for members interested in following the tournament and hosting watch parties. I joined the chat but rarely participated beyond occasional emoji reactions, and never attended a watch party in person since I didn't know him well. Partway through the tournament, he messaged me directly, out of nowhere, with a noticeably curt tone, asking whether I actually attended the church and which service I went to. When I answered warmly and even mentioned enjoying a recent Bible study, he simply stopped responding. The chat itself had a lot of good-natured sports banter back and forth, which I want to be clear I had no issue with. I was right there in the mix, teasing back just as much, and everyone seemed to be enjoying it, myself included. That changed after the Argentina-England semifinal. I posted a picture of a soccer play from the match. Without warning or explanation, the worship pastor deleted my post and removed me from the group chat entirely, with no conversation and no reason given. To his credit, he also deleted a video another member had posted of Argentine fans celebrating, so his censorship wasn't aimed at me personally, it was aimed at any pro-Argentina content, regardless of who posted it. But I was the only person removed from the group altogether, despite not being the one who escalated anything. Another member of that chat, who was following the exchange and wasn't even on my side of the banter (he also didn't want Argentina to win), told me afterward that he thought the pastor's reaction was "a bit harsh." I mention this only because it wasn't just my own perception. I reported the incident to a staff member, via email, so it could be addressed by leadership. She later called me and we spoke over the phone for about 20 minutes, and to her credit, she listened closely and asked thoughtful questions to understand the full picture; she seemed genuinely taken aback by how the pastor had handled it. That call was on a Thursday, and as of writing this, two weeks later, I haven't received any follow-up. Also, no one else on the group chat complained about me, except for the worship pastor that was put in charge of it (this same leader I spoke with on the phone to report the incident confirmed it). For context, this will be my very first 1-star review for a church, and 5th 1-star review for any business as a whole, out of more than 480 reviews I've written in over 7 years of regularly reviewing businesses and places across SoCal. I don't do this lightly. Please feel free to see all of my other reviews on this platform. I'm the furthest thing from a serial complainer and just basic human decency gets you 5 stars from me. I also want to be clear that I didn't rush to write this. I reported the incident internally first and genuinely intended to let it be handled through proper channels rather than posting anything public. It has now been two weeks and I still haven't heard back from the church. If that changes, I'll update this review accordingly. UPDATE: Added the picture in question that got me kicked out of the church groupchat (Messi with 3 English defenders). Adding some extra context: They did reach back 3 weeks after I had reported the incident, mostly because they saw this review go public and wanted to "put out the fire" so to speak. The whole time I felt like they were more concerned with protecting the image of the church, by getting me to delete this review, rather than actually bringing correction to the leader in question. Even their "response" to this review reflects that mentality, by fabricating that lie on the spot that I was removed supposedly "... after multiple complaints were made about you by other members of the group." A church that fails to hold their own leaders accountable, especially when said leader is power tripping, is not a church that any healthy and mature Christian should want to be a part of. Anyways, I'll close this by leaving an excerpt from my last email to them: "Football isn't what gives my life meaning and I take it just as a hobby, regardless of who wins or loses. My goal is to make new connections and new friends. It would be great for Tom to approach it the same way."

Father Gonzalez said NO .! because they are reserving the day for people who belong to the church . We're trying to book a YEAR in advance literally 365 days BEFORE & we were still denied . When is it that you guys allow outsiders to be married here if ever .? A 3rd church we called mentioned you could have mentioned maybe waiting 6 months prior to our date to reserve the date if still open but you guys flat out said NO, that NOTHING could be done. St.Vincent De Paul is more popular than you guys already being full that day a year in advance and they were willing to accept us . just saying change your website, or give outsiders details explaining word by word on when they could possibly reserve a date for a marriage there if you guys are reserving dates for YOUR people only. Since you mentioned hundreds of weddings a year there are held it must be ONLY of those who belong to the parish. I truly don't believe god would've denied the sacrament of marriage to anyone based on being from that specific church or not. It could've been that my fiance had tattoos & was in his blue collar clothing but he's a hard working loyal man who's changed his ways and has come a very long way from when I first met him. He was willingly wanting to receive all his sacraments from baptism to conformation to receive his sacrament of marriage whether or not needed here. It could've been that I was in a dress with spaghetti straps. Maybe I wasn't dressed modest enough but clothing doesn't define a person . Seeing that others have been/felt judged upon their looks. Truly sadden that you guys had the opportunity to let us reserve a date having 2 slot times still available but NO, is all we kept hearing. My cousin was the one who recommended us here and it baffled him to hear the rudeness and lack of professionalism from you guys .
