The Christian&Missionary Alliance Church once prided itself on its homeschooling…read morefamilies&traditional Sunday services. Their Wednesday night dinner/Bible studies brought people together to discuss Scripture. They once had a huge, dusty library in their church entryway, full of videos, from the LaHayes' book on marriage, to the Left Behind series, you name it. It was a treasure trove of ancient volumes. When the families departed, the Christian&Missionary Alliance Church slowly faded away. Luckily, the church has re-branded itself, has a friendly new pastor (Doug), there's been extensive renovation&cleaning of the grounds. They're now Arbor Alliance http://thearborchurch.org They have about 30 people in their congregation on Sunday nights. Pastor Doug is very friendly. They're relatively new. While they're still trying to get their footing, they are off to a positive genesis.

Though I live in Fairfield, my friends invited me to go to Liberty Church in Vallejo. It was the…read morefirst church where I truly felt I belonged, I was accepted, and where I could build true friendships and grow in ministry. The pastors are so down to earth and welcoming. Everyone is willing to pray for you and I truly feel the Holy Spirit present. The pastors rely on scripture and they don't sugarcoat, which I find refreshing.

I have been at this church for almost a year. I have stayed because of the Biblical teaching and…read morethe Pastors Biblical teaching and willingness to speak on ALL topic. I was greeted, the worship is authentic with one thing in mind the presence of God. What keeps me going is this church being so active in the community. Taking the church outside the walls. I would recommend giving this church a try if you are looking for community of all ages, vibrant young adult population, great kids ministry, transparency from the pulpit, and loving people.

Every time I have been here, I've felt completely unwelcome. I've sat alone with no one to great me…read morebut the 'greeters' who's job is to great strangers so it felt totally unauthentic. And thats what I felt like, just another stranger. This place is filled with cliques, and unless you are one of their 'students' you will not fit in and they will treat you like you know nothing of the kingdom of God, and as if you yourself don't have a real relationship with Christ. I feel invisible here, and after attending a couple of times I decided to go to another church, where I heard stories of people being practically excommunicated from this place for no good reason and hurt beyond repair. If you ask me this place is a cult. The messages being preached are weird and the pastors come off to me as being fake and flaky. Yes there are miracles, yes there are prophetic words being spoken... but the gifts of God are irrevocable, just because God is using these men does not mean He is with them. There are plenty of other churches in Stockton that are both spiritual AND biblical, and plenty of places where real authentic community takes place, but this church is not one of them. I will not be attending here, and I'm happy i found a home church, but i feel the need to warn others. If you end up at this Church, good luck to you, because in the end you will only end up hurt. I thank God for his protection and the discernment he gave me in only the three weeks I was here.

When I visited South Sacramento Christian Church on Stockton Blvd for the first time, I felt so…read morewelcomed, and they treated me like family. A nice lady welcomed me there while I was in the parking lot. And as soon as I walked through the doors, I was greeted with smiles and hugs that I was not expecting. What they didn't know is how much I needed those sincere hugs. I have been going through some serious things for a long time, and nobody had hugged me or shown genuine compassion towards me like that in years. Their welcoming was as if God was telling me that everything is going to be just fine. The service was beautiful, the sermon by Pastor Les was profound, and each time I go to worship there, I feel so blessed to be in God's presence with them around me. To God be the glory.

I like City Life, because the community there is built to welcome people whether they are including lifelong believers, those mired in doubt or even those who are feeling hurt and/or openly hostile towards the church. Wherever you are at, this place welcomes you without sacrificing orthodox theology. There is a real commitment to understanding and living in grace. I also really love their current meeting place which is sublet from Sol Collective, a great community arts non-profit.

All questions are answered with what does the Bible say. I've learned so much about God, The Bible and Faith since I started attending. This is the place to be saved! Pastor Luke took the time to meet with me privately and answer a few questions that I had, He was nonjudgmental and that reassured me that I had chosen the church for me. If you are looking for some true direction and a relationship with god I highly recommend The Home Church! Hope to see you there!

I have attended services at least 4 times & each time I've felt very happy after I left. I've heard 2 different pastors give sermons and I truly appreciate the use of scripture & the ability to analyze even deeper into God's word! I know it may sound funny, but I've been to a few churches where the use of scripture has become rare OR they only use the same Bible verses over & over. Still God's word, though, right? Hmm... Anyway, it is a very huge church and they seem to have many attendees but I never have a problem with parking. Their parking lot is huge. Those that I've talked to have been very friendly to me. Their music ministry is full of many talented individuals. I know that for the 11am service, they have contemporary Christian music. The congregation is pretty diverse... From what I've seen, there aren't many with the same ethnicity as me but it is still diverse, nonetheless. I hope to visit again & I am considering making it my home church... :)
