Great church! Good ministers, people. Been going here since I was about 9. If you love Jesus or need to know Jesus, go here!

If I could give zero stars I would. I have known so many students to be sexually harassed and assaulted on this campus on several occasions. and every single time its brought up to leaders and adults attention nothing was and will never be done about it. Don't let your kids go here it's not safe and they only care about money. read more

We use to come here to visit their services. I remember the people being very nice and welcoming. The church was huge and had a lot of people in attendance. We ended up moving so this church was pretty far from us. This past Christmas we attended an event they had. It was very cute. The greeters were all very friendly and very very welcoming! I loved seeing the new buildings that were built since the last time I've visited. It was nice to see that this church is expanding and doing more than just hold church services. We would love to come back to visit again! read more

I attended Pastor Oquist's first church in Wisconsin. The church was robust and thriving when he decided to leave. He persuaded a huge number of our church leaders and staff to relocate with him to Washington State. The mass exodus gutted the stability of the church, and it floundered. Eventually, we had to change our name. My observation is that he was very focused on "image", his and the church's. Even those who had been close to Dale and Joni felt "dumped" by them when they left, questioning if any part of the relationship was real. It really shook my trust in any church. I would not trust Pastor Oquist. People's Church is a stepping stone for him, and when he's done with you, he'll move on without a backward glance. read more

My mother had been attending this church for 20 years, tithing regularly, plus giving extra money, volunteering every Sunday as a greeter, help regularly with the bereavement group and many more activities. She's 87 and dementia has kicked in , I called desperately asking for someone at the church to help until I could get to her, (I live in NC), I needed someone to check on her for her safety, and just check on her until I could fly out..no respond until 4 days later and they hardly knew who she was, also my mom's physician who also attends the church reached out twice for help, or to get her a ride to doctors appointments, nothing! She now lives with me in NC, and some how they have gotten her new address here's me have already sent 2 gift giving envelopes. The preacher is pompous and showing. This place is appalling and disgusting. read more

Far too many times, this church, as a whole, was more concerned with replacing the sanctuary seating, building new and improved buildings (which cost millions of dollars) .. instead of reaching out to individuals who were in need of temporary or semi-permanent shelter.. or money to cover their bills, or networking to find employment. I had more blessings from certain individuals who attend this church than the actual church staff/"ministries." Heaven forbid you share with others that particular fact, because once certain church members got wind that I was sharing those facts, I received a phone call from one of the members of the church staff basically telling me to shut up. This is not the People's Church that I grew up with decades ago. read more

Visited this church today while in town for work. I have lived in enough different cities and states (10 and 6 respectively) to know how hard it can be to find a good church. Thus, I had pretty low expectations going in to attending today. However, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my entire visit. No one bothered me because I was a new face which is always a plus. People were friendly. Praise and worship was good and the message was awesome! It was only one visit but I didn't pick up on any prosperity gospel, pro-trump, anti-vaxx, and conspiracy theory vibes. If I lived in Fresno I would seriously consider this my home church. read more

We walked through the door over a year ago and instantly felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. There were lots of friendly faces to welcome us. Pastor Dale Oquist is AMAZING!!! He makes you feel like you are having a personal conversation with your best friend. The kind of friend who isn't afraid to tell you exactly what you need to hear. On the occasions when Pastor Dale isn't speaking, a high caliber quality message is still provided by one of the many other pastors on staff or a special visiting pastor. The praise music is very uplifting. It's all wrapped up in a beautiful facility with valet parking for those who need assistance. Love this place!!! read more

The name fits this amazing church, A church is not the building, it's the people. This is People's Church! It is a large church and because of that there are more opportunities to help lots of PEOPLE! They offer so much for the grieving, addicted, our city Fresno, community and global outreaches, women's & men's groups, youth ,etc. When you have love in your heart for people and Jesus, you will only see the good in people. There is no perfect person, no perfect church or world we live in. Get involved and you will find out for yourself, that this church( the people) they love God and speak the truth from the word of God. Be like Jesus, love Him and His people! read more

While in Fresno on this rainy Sunday we picked The Peoples Church to worship. I'm glad we did. The church is very large and has three services. Today was a combined service because they were having a large number of people getting baptized. The praise music was good but they need a reboot on their sound system. There were a lot of speakers but there weren't to many vocals that could be heard. We were sis sting 10 rows back and 8 seats in. Pretty much middle-middle. The congregation was nice and friendly and Pastor Dale did a great job. The pastors friend from The Broken Arriw Church gave the message today and he too did a good job. Glad we went and all the glory goes to God for the life's that were impacted today. Amen! read more

Pastor Dale's sermons are wonderful to listen to. He truly loves what he does and loves his faith family. We attend on Sunday mornings in the chapel. We love the old hymns that we sing. Everyone at People Church are so friendly. read more

Peoples church is very community driven, thier hearts are always looking for ways to help the community. During COVID-19 they have helped feed and clothe thousands. I am proud to callPeoplesmy church. read more

As a former member, I was really turned off by the extravagant buildings, pageants and, get this, matching uniforms of the choir. This church could do a lot of good for the community but when my friend needed help they were turned away. That showed me the priorities. If you can't turn to your church who can you turn to? read more

I just LOVE this church & everything about it! We started attending last August & I feel like I've found my forever church home. I look forward to every Sunday to come here :) read more

Peoples Church is an amazing community of people. Great place for kids to build friendships and develop their beliefs. Our closest friendships and the majority of of our social engagement all flow from our involvement at Peoples Church. Wish I would have grown up here! read more

I went mainly because my teenage boys liked the main service. I tried to get my son information about a men's that was coming up called the office and was told to email. I emailed the contact twice before the event with no response. I later tried going to a new Bible study they announced was starting up. I made arrangements for my kids at home and rushed to show up an hour early because of a misprint in the bulletin. After waiting an hour the teacher didn't show up. The other group I sat in on (while I was waiting) asked if I had signed up. I hadn't been to the Bible study to sign up yet so the answer was no. Most big churches I've attended let you go and check it out and sign up if you've decided to commit to going. I was really disappointed because it was a Bible study I thought I needed at the time. They make it difficult for you to do more than go to a service. read more

Best Pastor ever! :D I love this church!! :) and I love learning about the love of Christ here and getting together with the many people who have and haven't yet accepted God. I love People's Church, mainly because anyone who wants to attend is welcomed. Doesn't matter who you are and what background you're from and even better, what your beliefs are. This I know because I have always been loved even in times of crisis and letting my weaknesses shine more than my strengths. I encourage you to come. Doesn't matter if you believe in God or not! :) Its a good place to make good friendships and possibly find some peaceful thoughts, and fun activities to be apart of,.. especially in these hard times of our generation. Give it a try, and see for yourself I lived near the San Bernardino area, and my husband and I wanted to come to Fresno to start our young marriage lives here, one of the biggest reasons why is, 1 Fresno is a lot more cheaper, 2 we love People's Church and I am so happy to be back and get connected with these guys. Btw, I believe, there no such thing called a perfect church with perfect people in it, but it's nice to see people trying to love and grow together. read more

Pastor Dale is outstanding. His Bible-based teachings are helpful in forcing one to reflect and act on God's word.

True to its name the people's church is just that , they really care for you !!! From the great parking lot team that will literally pick you up from your car in a neat little golf cart and take you to the front doors to the free Coffee at almost every point of the church , it's really nice to see a church actually serve the people , pastor dale is awesome and gives great teachings ! The choir is upbeat and worship is wonderful, iv been to a lot of churches in my life and I'm telling you this church has a good feel to it very nice people and I'm not just talking about the pastor or the staff the people that attend there are cool too so if your looking for church that really just takes care of you and your family In every way from lunches to free daycare than this is the place for you don't let the size of the church scare you once you get to know a few people it feels just like a family God bless read more

I felt compelled to review this church today. Although I have only visited once for a wedding, I wanted to share my great experience with the congregation and support staff as well as the beautiful church. The wedding reception was great, and I like the layout of the church. The people I had contact with were very nice and welcoming during this ever so special day. I suggest this church to anyone who enjoys a relatively large church (for California standards) with great facilities and welcoming flock. Keep up the good work guys, god bless. read more
