During the Covid19 craziness of 2020, with churches closed by the government, I found myself…read moreopening my Bible everyday and reading as much as I could. And I was learning things that none of my previous churches (Catholic) had ever taught me in over 40 years of attending Catholic Mass. In reading God's Word in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, I found I wasn't able to reconcile so much of the Catholic Doctrines/Traditions to Scripture. In fact, I found that many of the negative things Jesus and the Apostles said about the Pharisees at the time applied directly to the Catholic Church traditions today. This inspired me to attend non-Catholic services online and a few in person. The Christian services were more Bible centered, but some came with other add-ons, like taking Enneagram personality tests for discipleship programs, or worshipping through song nearly 40 minutes and than reading the Bible for only 20. These things felt distracting from God's message in the Bible. Finally I found Rock Church of Turlock. I watched several Live services online and then my family and I attended in person. We haven't stopped going ever since. Pastors Kevin and Justin truly lead us to focus on God's Word, His will, and His Gospel through Jesus Christ. There are no gimmicks. We worship through song for about 15 minutes, then we open our Bibles and read together, listen to the Pastor talk about the passage, and then pray together to carry God's message forward in our daily lives. Yes, Rock Church is still meeting outdoors, but it actually feels like we are hearing God's Word and worshipping Him out in His nature! One day, God willing, we will have a physical "home" and roof over our heads as we worship and pray, and I think we'll all kind of miss being outdoors. But until then, I thank God everyday for leading me to this church community that continues to point our attention toward God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and God's good news in his Son, Jesus Christ. Being with this community strengthens my call to repent and turn my life, heart, soul, and everything to Jesus. And I want to tell the world about how we are saved by what Jesus Christ alone did for us. Thank you Rock Church of Turlock for encouraging us to stay focused on Christ Jesus!

Prior to going to The Rock, I had limited church experience. I didn't really know what to expect. I…read morewas first invited to an in home group gathering in which my wife and I decided to attend, what a great group of people! they were very supportive of each other through their ups and downs in life and made us feel as though they had known us forever. After attending this group function they called "GPS" for several weeks, we found ourselves wanting to check out their church. We found that The Rock Church of Turlock is a "homeless" church that meets at Walnut Elementary School in their cafeteria. at first I didn't know what to think, this is different? We were made to feel "at home" from the moment we walked through the doors! What I learned is that a church is not a building, a church is the body of believers in which I am a part of. Pastor Kevin preaches the bible as a literal God inspired book that tells of our history, our present and our future. We have found that the smaller more intimate atmosphere is a perfect fit for our family. over the course of the last 8 years attending we have grown not only in a way of family and friends but most importantly closer to God I am very thankful for the people of The Rock! They have a great youth group lead by Pastor Justin Lopes and his wife Ashley. I highly recommend checking out The Rock Church of Turlock.

The worship music can bring you to tears! Pastor Al, years ago, is such a nice gentleman. He's welcoming and personable. The children's ministry team makes you feel safe enough to leave your children with them because they are so warm and welcoming. We definitely made some life long friends while attending Gateway years ago. Whenever we're in the area, we always try to visit and we always feel right at home. This was not our first time here and won't be our last.

So grateful to be a part of a genuine faith family that loves God and loves others. If you have been hurt by church experiences in the past, turned off by Christians who haven't been what God called them to be, or long for authentic transparency in walking through life with it's hurts, habits and hang-ups free from judgment and criticism, come worship with us! There is hope for the hurting, healing for the broken, and life giving relationships within the people that call Gateway Community Church home!

My only objection to all the Catholic Churches in the area is that they offer Spanish, Portuguese, And English Masses but not an Italian Mass, but I suppose we are a Minority in this area. I am a 4th degree Knight of Columbus, at large and would love to find a group that is not as self-absorbed as the groups in the area, plus I don't believe that in order to participate with the 4th degree association one must also belong to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree group. that means that one would have to Pay dues to two organization to belong to one.

What matters is that the community of the regular church goers are friendly, you may even say amiable. The priest has expert knowledge of the (Catholic) Bible, as all Catholic priests should be, and he knows how to engage the audience. My only criticism would be that the priest does but agree to putting a mic for Quinceañeras because he believes he has a loud voice. That is true but the quality of sound from a close up mic is much better as the camera mic also picks up the echo from within the church. I don't visit this church too often so I can't add much more other than sometimes there are special festivities and raffles.
