Hello Church Family!…read more My husband and I visited this church while visiting our friend who attends this church. The sermon by Pastor Jay is so solid. I really felt nourished by both the Word delivered and the music played by one man on a guitar. It was all so wonderful and homey. The congregation is small and so so genuine. They have lunch provided by a member of the congregation directly after service followed by a wonderful bible study around 1pm. The service is at 10:30am. I highly recommend this church! We will certainly be back when we visit our friend! They were so so welcoming and sweet.

This is a church where you can really grow spiritually. There are not many distractions and the…read morefocus is on the Bible and being a church family. The sermons are not your typical topical sermons. They are gospel-focused, teaching through the whole Bible and not skipping around random verses every week. The children's pastor is also so great with the kids; feels like a real family. My kids love going to church every Sunday. I attended a large mega-church for 9 years, but have definitely grown more spiritually at this smaller church. If you are looking for a church where you can really grow spiritually, and be part of a church family and not be ignored, this is the church for you!

I've been attending NJV for two years. I look forward to going each week. I definitely feel a peace…read moreof worship here & as someone that attended or visited many churches, I really love it. I saw a couple of the negative reviews & wanted to say that no church is perfect. There are some challenges, like everywhere else but it is a place where they are aware of it. Yes, fellowship is a bit hard to do on Sundays but it doesn't mean there isn't any at all. I've made some friends there & participate in some of the functions. It's really a matter of people finding people. Pastors Phil & Mike T, are two who engage with people in the lobby. Others are not as outgoing but definitely approachable, kind & friendly. If you're looking for a reason to not go to this church, 100% you will find it but if you really want to find a church to attend, you'll find it at NJV. It was different than all the other churches I attended but I really love it there.

This church is amazing. Been going here for 4 years now, I've grown so much here at this church.read more

This was the church and parish of my early youth! Was baptized here and received my sacraments of…read morefirst holy communion and confession/penance here. A strong Franciscan parish, that exudes openness and is very welcoming to all visitors. I have many fond memories here as I recall happily several key role models who shaped my life--primarily, the wonderful relatives, friends, priests and nuns who took such a compassionate interest in teaching us kids. Today, the parish demographics have changed... instead of Italian being the primary spoken non English language heard in and around the church, it is now Spanish but the caring Franciscan spirituality is still as alive as ever. Recently, the church celebrated its 100 year anniversary. Constructed in 1917, the church was built by Sicilian and Italian immigrants in a mid-Renaissance 14th century style. Complete with stained glass windows, a Tuscan style bell tower with real forged bells, and Italian "tegile" (terra cotta roof tiles). But the most magnificent feature is the priceless frescoes that decorate the vaulted ceiling above the altar. These are executed in a late 16th century Italian style reminiscent of Rubens and Donatello. This is a true gem among churches and the architecture is conducive to prayer and proper contemplation of God. Many weddings are held here as it is one of the few remaining churches that retains a sense and feeling of holiness while keeping all of the beauty and splendor of mankind giving his best artistry to God. Best of all, it's a community dedicated to worshipping God through the expenditure of love and mercy to others. Definitely worth a visit. See their webpage for hours, ministries, and details. Thank you for reading my review. And as St Francesco d' Assisi often said: "Pax et Bonum" (Peace and Goodness).
