St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Church on Whispering Heights Pkwy in Winchester is a lovely gem…read morewithin a densely populated residential area. I've visited a couple times as part of the congregation, and two other times (to play for a funeral and to cover for a Sunday Mass). Fr. Tom Burdick was welcoming and provided a wonderful Homily during all my visits here. And Laura was also welcoming and informative for me as an outside musician. The church has a very open layout and a really nice audio/visual system. There's plenty of parking and it was easy to get in and out of. A very lovely church and friendly people, welcoming staff, spacious layout, and beautiful music and homilies.

Unfortunately this church is misleading. The individual…read moreover religious education/sacraments does not listen. She had us wait over a year to register our daughter for the teen 1st communion & confirmation program (until she was in high school) and told us that as long as she was baptized and enrolled in the program she would be able to pick a date for her quince and could be held there. We enrolled her as instructed once she hit 9th grade and now she has been told there will be no quinceañera bc she has to have her 1st communion prior. It took a long while to get our daughter back into church after all unfortunate events that had her lose her faith and now she has been misled. We fear that this disappointment will result in starting over. When I discussed our past communications she indicated that she was under the assumption my daughter had attained her 1st communion, although this was clarified several times and she is enrolled in the program to attain this, which makes zero sense if she already has this. The information is inconsistent, I believe this Parrish is all ab money and is very much deceptive.

Services started at 8:30 am in their courtyard, with nearly twenty-five of us. We were warmly greeted by their Jr Warden Richard who was very genuine. Communion was through intinction from Rev Susan Latimer their Rector. Though at this point, I still cannot get use to the wave during the Peace, nor the face mask and plastic visor Rev Susan has to wear. Grrr. But hopefully that will be ending soon! We will be back and would recommend visiting Good Shepherd if you are in the area. PS - They also offer a Zoom service at 10:30 as well.

I'm a stylist and a mother of two teen boys. One night as my husband and I were searching on Joel…read moreOsteen's website, we ended up on the bottom of the page. Which directed us to the section where it says find a church, at that time we had stopped going to church for a few years. We ended up searching and the first search was a 619 area code, which we both knew was to far, for we live in Riverside. So we decided to search again the second time, we came across a 951 area code, which we both look at each other and said lets look further into this Church, for it stood out to us. We ended up on the website and started reading scriptures, each scriptures were speaking to us both. So my husband and I decided that, the coming Sunday we will be attending this church. Not searching up who the pastor was or anything, but we went by what the scriptures said, we felt something that we both never felt before. A connection like no other, to be honest its an amazing feeling, that I cannot even put into words. We ended up going that Sunday to just hear the word, and go on with our daily lives, but when we arrived there, it was so welcoming that even my husband and teen boys agreed. We sat in the front row not knowing who is who, and someone came and approached us, greeting us, welcoming us. At the moment he was on the stage busy with things but, he took his time and stopped what he was doing and walked down and greeted us. We thought that was so sweet of him, he didn't have to for he was busy at the moment. Come to find out it was the pastor of New Creation Church, Pastor Joe. From that moment we knew this was our new home, from finding the website, to reading the scriptures, we knew God placed us there for a reason and we are so thankful! We have learned so much through the word of God, that is taught on Thursday nights and also Sunday mornings, my sons attend the youth ministry with Pastor Christian, and they enjoy and learn so much through both Pastors. My husband and I both have enjoyed each and every time we are there, we go in blessed and leave even more blessed each and every time. Finally we found our church home that you come just as you are! Pastor Joe is amazing and truly a blessing to this world from God, thank you Pastor Joe for all you do for Gods kingdom!!!

I have attended Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, CA since I was 12 years old. When I had…read moreto move to Sun City, I started attending my mother's church with her and literally begin feeling dry and dead inside. The music was horrible and monotone the sermons were dry and monotone... I was the youngest person there and I am in my fifties! It was so opposite of what I was used to, I could not even stay awake for the entire hour of church. I told my mom I would have to find a new church to go to, that I could no longer attend hers. She informed me that she heard pastor Joe started a new church in our area, and I was immediately intrested. I grew up listening to his music at Harvest And knew I needed to check out his new church. My mom and her husband decided to go with me to check it out and we never looked back. It was like coming home. I love this church, it's like having a second family to hang out with. Pastors Joe and Jackie are loving people that really care about their flock. The music is amazing, the messages are amazing, And the people amazing. Love the friendliness and diversity of the church. I finally look forward to going to church and Bible studies again!

After watching, Let Us Prey on HBO Max, I realize that the tactics they use to cover up child molestation is widespread. I came from an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church (in Northern Ca)where coverups happened. The methodology that they use for protecting their churches is done throughout many states in the United States of America. I'm so glad my husband and I got our family out when we did. And they use the Christian Law Association to do this. I have a page from one of the CLA's newsletters that says that when someone makes an accusation of child molestation, they should call the CLA first and determine whether it actually took place before calling the police. If you Google it, you will find it. That is absolutely illegal. Pastors should be held to a higher standard and they should report allegations of child molestation to the state immediately. I am sick to my stomach that I ever attended these churches. Thankfully, my children were not affected the way the women in docuseries have been.

Where do I BEGIN... My husband and I got married here recently and the wedding coordinator NENA made it very difficult for us than it should have been. Very rude and unprofessional, keep in mind we paid almost 1k for the bad experience we gotten. She doesn't help to set up the church the day of which is odd because we looked at many church's and they had that included so please keep in mind if you need help with decor this wouldn't be the place for you. I picked this church because I grew up going here I also got confirmed here early 2000's and it's absolutely beautiful. I did not expect to have the experience I had.. if you are wanting a bilingual mass she doesn't "allow" that. My husband and I from the beginning before paying a deposit asked if they were able to make it English and Spanish for us because that's what we wanted and she had said yes they could do it. Later on when I came to pay the remaining balance she has switched up and said I'll need you to let me know which part of the mass you would want in Spanish because it is will be way "too long". Which I found so odd because I've been to many weddings that are bilingual and made it work for the bride and groom also because she had told me if was possible from the beginning. She also proceeded to ask me "why do you want Spanish? Do you speak Spanish? Does your parents? Or your fiancés?" I felt like she did not need to ask me all those questions If my husband and I asked for bilingual can you make it happen or not?! She was making all the excuses saying let her know before this deadline, so she can find someone to translate. So I let her know before the deadline what SMALL part of mass we liked for it be bilingual which was the eucharist. She had emailed me we can't do it. I was very upset because she was giving me the run arounds at this point. Another thing was she had told me was they have a dress code for me (bride) which I completely understand! She had sent me pictures of do's and dont's. I had sent her pics of my cover up asking if this was okay to wear and she had texted me yes it was okay. BUT the same day I payed my remaining balance she repeated to me again about the dress code so I had to remind her that I sent her a picture of my coverup already. & she proceeds to say " I just want to let you know because at the end end of the day the father is a man and if your kneeling in front of him showing your whole chest and he will look." I was in disbelief when she had told me that, I felt so uncomfortable and confused on why she would talk about the father like that? I found it very disrespectful and disgusting. Also why make me feel uncomfortable when I already spoken to her about having a coverup? That day I regretted my whole DECISION and I knew my wedding day was not going to go as how I dreamed of. It was too late to find another church on such short timing also I had already paid. So we proceeded to get married here and it got WORSE. She had sent us a text that rehearsal was going to be a MONTH before the wedding my whole bridal party had taken days off work including my groom and I for to make it happen. She cancels on us. And switches it for the month of. It was very hard for my husband to take days off so we had asked for another date where he could make it on time. She says no. The day of rehearsal my husband was running a little late in traffic he works in L.A area. He messaged NENA that would it be possible to move the time she had said no once again because someone else using the church for rosary. So I was very sad that my fiance couldnt make it. I had to go without him. When i ARRIVED she had another soon to be bride and groom there for rehearsal aswell already half way talking to them on how to walk down aisle. I was confused because she told me to show up at this time 6pm any later than that it's canceled. my party and I waited patiently for her to be finished it took almost an hour with them. At this point my husband was able to make it. She said there was a rosary class at 7pm which was a lie apparently because no one showed up in the church for a "class". Also she MENTIONED AGAIN to me in front of the whole bridal party about the dress code AGAIN. And pointed out to me " Especially YOU the bride needs to be covered". Unbelievable this lady.. Anyway what had happened the day of the wedding THE REHEARSAL WAS POINTLESS. Because she changed it last minute without me KNOWING NOR THE GROOM I didn't end up walking with my father down the aisle. I was in tears because she switched the whole thing last min I know so to be petty.
