I…read morewas going through a divorce and had left the church I was attending with my ex because he was attending it with his new partner and I no longer wanted to go to the same church. I felt comfortable immediately at Action with the people and the community and the messages were spot on to what I needed to hear and being invited and feeling the intense friendliness and warmth of those serving. The pastor is great but sometimes is arrogant and says things that I don't agree with. I don't feel 100% with his messages but overall they are just as great in how our modern lifestyles coincide with faith so he does draw a bridge between where people are and finding faith and I do love that he meets everyone where they are without pressure.

Not because we "needed" anything from any church but through the experience of the trauma we switched churches and are now proud to call Action home.

Real people, bible preaching and let me tell you -- every time you walk into Action you feel like you're at Chick-Fil-A - everyone is happy, excited, kind and welcomes you!!! #home #reachandconnect

I've been church shopping since I moved to a new area two years ago. I stopped by this church a…read morelong time ago, and recently came back after a long search. It's a small church, but there is plenty of parking and plenty of seats. The seats are extra large, for the typical American. So come on in and get blessed! The sermon was held by the secondary pastor. He was very well spoken and did not distract us by playing in his pockets or saying Uh and Um like many nearby church pastors. There were several references to scripture, which I love. Kids these days (even adults!) don't know the Bible. We really need to get in the Word and get familiar. Attendees were friendly. Communion was germ free!!!! You go get your small cup and your tiny piece of bread and you don't have to touch anyone or sip from the same cup. Thank You, Jesus! The service was germ free, apart from the associate pastor shaking my hand at the door. I hate when they ask you to turn to your neighbor and shake their hand. This church does not do that. I am thrilled! Worship was a few songs up front and one at the end. The words are large on the screen so you can see them if you don't know the tune. Offerings are collected by basket, by text or online. Pretty easy. There is some sort of coffee thing at the back, I've never stopped to check it out. They have childcare. Bathrooms are clean. There are frequent small groups and ways to get involved that can be found on the flyer or on the bulletin board. If you're looking for a neighborhood church that is friendly and bible based, this is your spot. Join us.

Sooooooo, it's been almost a year since we moved to Sanford from the Boston area…read more We were highly involved in ministry and regularly attended our church located in Brookline, MA, Mars Hill Fellowship Church. That was an awesome place. Finding a new church home here in FL was in the top three priorities on our list. My husband did some research and found City Church Sanford. The name was familiar due to family friends serving in ministry at City Church in Seattle. 'Welcome Home' was what we heard during the greeting in service. When we left, it certainly felt like we'd found our new church home, but not to be hasty, we visited another church a few weeks later. It was nice but not a great fit for us. We returned to City Church Sanford and had the same experience as our initial visit. Needless to say, the words we heard about a year ago, 'Welcome Home', are the words we find ourselves saying to the new folks coming through those doors.

Besides the aesthetic beauty that aims to reflect and please God, St Andrew Chapels' theology is very reformed and conservative. Truly Presbyterian in theology, they clearly portray the Gospel message of Jesus Christ in the sermons and expositionally preach from the Word of God. Founded by R.C. Sproul, they are Creedal and Confessional. The worship is very reverent, using a full choir and organ, singing hymns and songs to the Lord. The worship service is very liturgical, every part aiming to glorify God by reminding and redirecting everyone's attention to the holy, upright things.

To begin with, Journey Church is a pretty big church with lots of visitors. They have plenty of parking and there are volunteers directing traffic.

Definitely disappointing.( every service should come from reading the Bible , not motivational themed imo.) I attended new members night which seems really engaging......however that's where it ended. I never received follow up although I provided my information, The sound system and worship music is very lacking, especially for such a high tech sound system . If a feel good, check the church box, is service something that fits your needs than this church might work for you. However if you are looking for a church based solely on the Bible, this church will leave you disappointed.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER... PLEASE READ: This review is only for the auditorium and not for the church…read moreor religious service. This review is not meant to endorse or critique a place of worship or services. I visited the auditorium for a concert on Friday. The lobby was small, but still nice with decorations. I didn't see any concession stands, so we ate somewhere else before the event. When we got to our seats, we noticed that our tickets weren't checked, even at the entrance. We sat in our assigned seats anyways, which was at the balcony. The seat was a typical arena style seat, but it was comfortable enough. The AC inside was cold and perfect. Looks like the venue is able to hold about 2000 guests. We had no issues viewing the orchestra and the monitors there. The bathrooms in the balcony area was small and only accommodated a couple people at a time, so there was a little wait. Though, it was pretty clean. Other than the security screening, we didn't see much staff at the venue. Wasn't sure whether the screening was common at the venue, or requested by the concert people, but the security staff were mostly polite and professional. They did however, leave immediately after the show. There was staff to help with parking and heading to the venue, but that was it. Parking was free and ample, so it was a plus compared to other venues. For a concert, I would visit the venue again. However, I would be aware of the lack of concessions inside, security screening requirements to enter, and not much staff indoors. But the free parking, comfortable seating, and great AC makes this a nice choice.
