From the day I walked in this church I have been welcomed with open arms and it has always felt…read morelike 'home.' Services are held at 10:15am every Sunday and sermons are done by Mark Hardy. The worship team recently switched and there is now a mix of traditional and contemporary music. The church is small and everyone knows everyone, for the most part. One of the nice things about a small church is the intimate way in which you get to know fellow believers; not to mention, new people are noticed and welcomed right away. For the most part the church consists of many folks who are my parents and grandparents' age and that is fine by me as all my family lives in Cali. This church has Sunday school at 9am, awana on Wednesday, youth group (can't remember which day), children's chirch and nursery during services and small groups throughout the week. I was drawn to this church and after almost a year I am positive it was the right choice for me.

I'd like to give you an honest review about the heart…read more Broadly and specifically ---------- This is based on the consensus of my friend and I And we are both members of the church Myself more loosely because I have another home church instead that is my main church But here is the review based on our consensus and agreed viewpoint ----------- The heart is all about their selves When you ask Seth to pray for you he tells you I am in a hurry or I'll be back... But never come back Don't really like that church any more Ya they are more of a franchise than a church And that's sad how that is... That it's become like that They sometimes run the risk of falling into ... talking a big game but they have regrettably become like lot of the other churches A lot of churches nowadays do this even, if they don't keep Sunday or if they do keep Sunday Real life is the same way They are like that as well they're more or less not necessarily always being cognizant enough and remembering to be concerned about their members of their congregation Not that they don't, but they sometimes like the ability to be interpersonal as much as they used to be when they had smaller congregations They are more there to preach and continue business as usual elsewhere They have so much wrapped up in their ministry, that they don't take as much time for people personally even if they have a multiple small groups and other things and the pastor or pastors usually armor the preacher instead of a servant as well And It's understandable to get a congregation so big and have so much going on that you lose the ability to maintain those kind of things fully... But you cannot lose sight of all of that together And I feel like they both have been falling into this trap Because the devil can work with churches being so distracted and so spread out that it seems like they're doing a good work but they're not being as interpersonal and direct But they are more broadly a business instead of a church More doing a work instead of having members... It seems And plus there's so many people but join the congregations like these that sometimes... after a while... that if you're congregation gets big enough you can't just do damage control Which means you don't have time for everybody And your spread so thin as a pastor either a head pastor or even one of the delegate pastors And this raises a bigger issue as well similar to it I believe churches like these need to have different head pastors at individual locations as well as head pastors and head delegate pastors at each and every location especially if they branch out to more locations The heart has one head pastor and that is Seth who has now become the new head pastor since his father has stepped down from that position for retirement and has now taking up other rolls inside the church And I'm sure that Seth's father had previously known this line of work long enough that he understood that dynamic and that it's easy to fall into that.... Especially being the only head pastor And it's sad because sometimes you almost have to have less people in your congregation or more head pastors and head delegates and then delegates under that But that's why they delegate sometimes because they have so many people And the problem with delegation sometimes... Is that there can be too much delegation.... Meaning that even the pastors and other pastors and side pastors are spread so thin that there's a great lack of interpersonal one-on-one or even semi one-on-one with congregation members The groups are meant to be like this But even then it's more of a come and go Instead of a..."You're here as a member and you are equal to everybody" Instead you're equal to everyone in a different capacity Your equal because you're all people that come to a church And less an actual member They have different pastors instead of the one or two or five pastors So if they had more head pastors and more of a how they do it one location they have the same thing at different locations instead of a Head pastor that oversees every church Each location should have a head that is in charge of specific locations and then you can have one that is head over everything Because there needs to be more interpersonal relationship with your congregation It doesn't matter if you're a head elder a pastor a elder or a delegate of any kind .... If you are leaving your congregation behind a little bit and just serving in group settings and meetings and other things That's not interpersonal relationships That's a business ------------ And I understand the ins and outs of church running I'm not perfect at it but I understand what it takes within reason And it's hard to find the time and people to do things like this And it's really easy to delegate practically into oblivion And into less partnership with your congregation And more just You're " a " pastor -m

If you are looking for a church family I would highly recommend it. The music was fabulous and every speaker as good as the one before.

I wish I lived in the neighborhood and could attend some of their other weekly events. It's a truly blessed church and it was a privilege to worship with them.
