Every time I have attended a Sunday service at this church, I have left more frustrated than when I…read morearrived. After multiple visits over the years, my concerns haven't changed, they've only become clearer. The Pulpit here feels more like a feel good ego booster than a place of Biblical Authority and Accountability. Topical preaching, as it is consistently delivered here, feels shallow and misaligned with what people truly need in this season. We are living in a time where the world is loud, chaotic, and spiritually heavy. Scripture makes it clear that we are in a battle, not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12) and people are walking into church desperate for truth, clarity, and spiritual equipping. Instead, the messages often revolve around surface-level topics like saving money, managing anxiety, or even personal anecdotes that feel disconnected from the weight of what believers are facing. There is a real hunger right now for solid, biblical teaching. People are not just looking for encouragement, they are looking for transformation through The Word of God. With biblical literacy at an all-time low, the responsibility of a pastor is not to entertain or lightly motivate, but to teach, correct, and equip (2 Timothy 3:16-17). I have yet to hear a message here from Pastor Tom that reflects the depth, authority, or conviction that pastoral leadership requires. 1 Timothy 3 lays out clear qualifications for church leaders: self-controlled, respectable, able to teach, and above reproach. Leadership in the church is not a platform for personal preferences or casual storytelling, it is a calling that demands humility and accountability. John 3:30 reminds us, "He must increase, but I must decrease." When that posture is missing, it shows. At any given moment, someone can walk through those doors completely broken, searching for something real, something eternal. That is not a small responsibility. That is a weight pastors are called to carry with reverence and seriousness. Messages should point people to Christ, confront sin, strengthen faith, and prepare believers to stand firm in a spiritually dark world, not simply offer life tips or light encouragement. After giving this church chance after chance since 2021, I can confidently say this is not a place where I have found that kind of leadership or teaching. It often feels like there is more emphasis on comfort than conviction, and more desire for agreement than accountability. My prayer is that leadership takes a step back, examines Scripture honestly, and realigns with what biblical shepherding is truly meant to be. The church is too important, and the times we are living in are too serious, for anything less.

This church has been such a light in my life. I stumbled across Reclaim Church about a year ago,…read moreknowing very little about God and feeling very uncomfortable walking into churches, even though I deeply wanted to grow closer to Him. From the moment I stepped into Reclaim, it felt like home. Every sermon teaches me something new about the Bible and Scripture. The pastors do an incredible job breaking down God's Word in a way that is easy to understand, relatable, and applicable to real life. They don't just teach, you're challenged to think, grow, and truly live according to Scripture. You can genuinely feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in this church. Reclaim has played such a huge role in bringing me into a strong, meaningful relationship with God, and I am forever grateful for this church and its leadership.

Let me start off by saying; If you are looking for a structed foundation to grow in Christ,…read moreestablish great fellowship with church members, this is not the church for you! The sermons are short 20-25 minutes at best, and with no substantial teaching of God's word, but will hear the Pastor(s) talk more about them, inappropriate jokes and wearing "shmedium" shirts, comical rather than Godly. This is more a beginners 101 class. As far as discipleship goes, there is none. Baptism is held once a year, Bible study consist of watching a video and trying to figure it out on your own. The "fellowship" outside of the church is playing pickleball, that's great for the more athletic and youth, but not for the mature, elderly or disabled. Basically, this church is a "Recovery" church for those looking to get their lives back on tract without feeling "pressured" in really serving Christ! All in a nutshell, Reclaim is a weekend "warrior church"

My family and I attended Dream City Church - Glendale for a period of time and initially had a very…read morepositive impression. The environment was welcoming, and our kids became heavily involved in several of the church programs. At first, we truly believed we had found the right church home for our family. Unfortunately, after our family experienced a very serious and personal situation involving one of our children, we reached out to the church seeking support and guidance. During that difficult time, we hoped for some level of care, follow-up, or even a simple check-in from someone within the church community. Sadly, we did not receive any response or outreach from church leadership or members. I even met personally with the pastor at one point and shared that we were hoping to find a church that would stand beside families not only during good times but also during difficult seasons. When we later reached out asking if the church could simply provide a letter acknowledging our family's absence due to the situation affecting us, we again received no response or support. Another disappointment was that after signing up for various church programs, the primary communication we received consisted mostly of promotional emails encouraging purchases or sign-ups, rather than meaningful engagement or community support. This experience has been very disheartening for our family. While we appreciated the involvement our kids had early on, we ultimately feel that the church did not stand by the values of community and care that it promotes. Because of this, our family has made the difficult decision to stop attending and will be searching for a church that more closely reflects the support, compassion, and accountability that we believe a church community should provide. I sincerely hope that in the future the church places greater emphasis on following up with families who reach out for help during difficult times.

Was impressed by their food court and merchandise area. Negative: 1.Too many women ushers, and a woman pastor. Women in pastoral roles not biblical. I got the vibe that this is a very women centric church, maybe even progressive. 2. They breezed through communion. You basically pick up a sealed cup at the door. The female pastor talked about communion for a second then walked off the stage leaving us to figure what to do next. We were looking around to see what everyone else was doing and then we "got it", it's time to take communion on our own. I'm sorry but, although it's a symbolism of Christ's blood and body, the pastor should actually lead you through this as he performs it himself. To me, this act should carry more significance. 3. The Senior pastor comes on the teleprompter to preach and he was not on stage. Clearly it was prerecorded from an earlier sermon. For whatever reason he was not there, a real person in physical form should have been preaching. We left about 5 to 10 minutes into the sermon once my wife and I realized there was no one on stage. Unfortunately, we will not return.

FBC of Glendale, AZ, has been through the changes of new, bigger, properties and buildings, moving an entire church, retirement of old pastors, hiring of new pastors, new pastors leaving, staff moving away, staff coming back, and the international Covid 'Plan-demic' (which, IMHO, was intentionally designed to break Western Civilization of regular church attendance...)
