So far we love it here! We never saw ourselves being interested in a "mega church," but out of…read morenowhere, a couple months ago, God called us to check this specific church. We understand we can't expect the same individualized care from the executive leadership that we could in a smaller congregation, but we look forward to navigating our walk here in the context of the system of delegation that is in place-- Thank God for the blueprint (Exodus 18). Anyway, there will likely be a learning curve. The campus is quite far from us, so we watched their services and podcasts online for a few weeks before deciding to make the drive to visit in person. Church is always better in person. We were welcomed warmly (not overly/fakely so but just enough), and we were given information on small groups which will be key for connection and discipleship. Pastor Ed and his wife Stephanie seem deeply rooted in and passionate about teaching the Word, and their love for each other and the flock appears genuine. Marge from the prayer team was so kind when I went up for prayer and anointing by an elder, and so far this has been a weekly option for those who want to obey the command of James 5:14-15. We're excited to learn more, go through the membership classes, and start serving on one (or several) their MANY weekend/community service teams.

Well once he passed I call the church and spoke with the lady that handles this. Well don't you know that Minister Ed is booked out 1 yr in advance and could not make the time. I said ok, well is the any other minister or church representative that can attend the viewing and say a few words (the viewing was a week away). Don't you know that NO ONE was gonna be available, PERIOD So much for caring for their church members. We had another church pastor attend with a couple days notice.

The music was extremely loud, they'll give you ear plugs. Everyone is very welcoming. Since parking delayed us , the service had already started and The lights were low so someone helped find seats. The sermon was absolutely wonderful and hit home! They have a 3 month seminar, PTO ( Peel the Onion) that ends in a retreat. My friend and I decided to sign up for the class and it has been extremely helpful in processing issues. Glad my friend invited me to her church.

Super-easy…read morelocation to find and parking did not appear to be a problem (but we parked in first time visitors parking). As we walked up to the entrance, it became clear there were lots of young adults and young families. Everyone was friendly and very welcoming. I had missed my morning coffee and it was great to be able to grab one which seemed to be part of the church routine for lots of folks. The kid church and classes for different age groups was extremely well organized. One thing that I noticed, was the mindset that if they didn't recognize you, they greeted you. It would have been difficult to feel ignored or that we weren't welcome. The music was contemporary but many songs were familiar. I thought the music was less of a show-production (no stage, or smoke & lights) And more about participation and preperation for the rest of the service. The music is very well done. Again, as I looked around it struck me that so many young adults filled up the room. Certainly there were more than a few of us gray-headed boomers so we didn't feel out of place. The message was well put together and nicely delivered but the thing that I truly took away was the sense that The Rim Church was a lot more than just a Sunday Service. They talked about their small home groups that meet Sunday evenings. We have attended a few of the Mega-Churches in San Antonio and while they are impressive and welcoming, Its not hard to get lost in the 1000's of attendees. The sense from The Rim Church is the opposite. If you find yourself looking for a welcoming Church to to make a home, I'd certainly recommend you check out The RIM Church. Sunday 10am...

A truly awful excuse for a church. I was there multiple times over a year ago. On my first time, I…read morewalked in and sat down for a while (which churches are not supposed to let happen) and it was so awkward. Real churches have somebody there to greet people at the door which they I noticed they did on subsequent visits. Eventually somebody chatted with me and welcomed me, but talk about not doing basics. The pastor said in the sermon that they wanted to get to knew newcomers. If they did, they would just introduce themselves like a normal true Christian, not tell people to sign up at a table for a dinner. That is asinine and surreal. Talk about dystopian crassness and low class. The next time I went a girl at the front door that visited my old church Bible study saw me and did not have the decency and class to greet me and introduce me to other people in the church, which is what a traditional church greeter does, which creates community in love. And she, I found out later, was "in ministry". The church breaks up the sermon to have short Bible study groups instead of before or after the service. That is bizarre and ridiculous. That does not create true community as it is not enough time to connect. Several people will sit next to you and introduce themselves to you, but that is not spontaneous, and they will never see you again or have you sit next to them next time. That is contrived fake Christian love. If you love people you introduce yourselves to them. That is what "class" is- kindness and graciousness. Everyone is supposed to greet people who are new and introduce themselves. That is basic Christianity for over 1,000 years that most churches in San Antonio do not have. The pastor's tats at the time make him look like a meth addict. Tats are an indication of a very erratic personality per psychological studies, and a effacement of God's creation. That's why God mentioned no tattoos in Leviticus. The final coup de grace was when I got a text inviting me to a "leadership conference" which the church charged 15 dollars for! This is not a church, but rather an ego project and a country club. And I am not going to talk about the music that is hokey, modern and lacking in depth that Biblical praise, what God's word calls us to sing prescribes --Psalms and hymns. If you look at which church planted this church, it makes complete sense, because it is the same failed pattern--full churches but empty of real love of Christ or real community.

Without the light show, the experience felt fairly brief. The architecture is impressive, but there wasn't much else to keep me there for very long. I can see why many visitors plan their trip around the nighttime projection show, as it seems to be a major part of the attraction. It's worth stopping by if you're already in the area, but I would recommend visiting in the evening to get the full experience.

The people at this church DO CARE, they are imperfect as ALL of us are. Before church I had never continually gone to a church before. I found Pearl Street right before my life fell apart. The staff here, such as Briana Ortiz, Pastor Faith, Pastor Maria & Pastor Greg are some of the people that stewarded my pain with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. But the main reason I believe that this church is worth attending and making your home is because Pastor Brent truly seeks the lord and dwells in the secrets place. People are imperfect and so is Pastor Brent but it's our job as Christians to trust that the Lord will appoint leaders perfectly in the perfect timing, even though they are in perfect in your/our eyes. So take a chance, stay until your Betterness goes away, every church you go to will have something you don't like. I've been attending Four years and three years of being baptized, and really coming to my salvation in Christ Jesus.

I am active in a different church but my eight year old grandson attended and I observed. Instead of a centrally located event with large numbers of participants, this church decentralized the process and used volunteers to lead the same program on the same evenings, but at neighborhood homes in many locations around San Antonio. The one my grandson attended was in the Fair Oaks Ranch area. The volunteers were well prepared, and enthusiastic and the children clearly had fun while hearing Bible stories and learning about Jesus. By having the programs in the evenings, parents/grandparents could come and were welcome to observe or participate. My grandson and I expect to be back next year!

The leaders in the youth side OVERSTEP AND DO NOT RESPECT BOUNDARIES. They brainwashed my kids. Eucharia is a leader there also who said God told her that my kids were in danger. They take their job with them everywhere. They go thinking that they are CPS. I had to call the police to get my kids back. And then they accuse me of being a negligent parent and the cases were dropped.
