I am so glad I decided to venture out and visit a church while out of town! Twin Lakes is amazing…read more I loved that not only did they have a lot of parking but there were clearly marked signs of where to go. I was welcomed when I walked in and people looked excited to be there. It's a large church so there were a lot of seating options but it did fill up right as the service I went to started at 9. Worship was so good! Everyone was passionate. It was just the right amount to prepare your heart and then they dove into the Word. They are a Bible teaching church which I love. They stuck to the Word then taught how it applied in today's world. It was convicting with love. After service I looked around and they offer tons of resources and groups for people. I loved their bookstore area. The gal that checked me out even gave me a first time gift. Way to make me feel special and included. I visit this area somewhat regularly and look forward to returning!

First let me say how beautiful the area is as well as the building itself. Everyone we came into contact with was super sweet and reached out to introduce themselves as well as get to know you. I absolutely loved the worship experience and Pastor Todd's Easter message was awesome and very inspiring. I like that he taught sound Biblical Principals but also added in real life struggles that we as followers deal with. He didn't sugar coat it and it was relevant and left you thinking long after the sermon. My family and I can't wait to attend another service here!

The church is small enough so a person feels like they are part of a extended and loving family and everyone is so supportive of each other.

We are looking for a new church home since our move over the hill from San Jose to Aptos. We have…read morenow tried 4 different churches and my husband and I agree that Aptos Christian is clearly a church we will attend again. Upon arriving, we were greeted by several people and introduced to several more. When the service began, we felt the music was worshipful and enthusiastic. The sermon included relevant key verses as well as multi-media aspects. The service was a good length and finished with a cheerful send-off. While moving toward the door we were, again, greeted by many of the members. The pastor even invited us to chat, have coffee or lunch (in the coming week) if we had any questions about the church. We will, DEFINITELY, return to Aptos Christian.

My husband & I reached out to Pastor Anthony Fatta of the Aptos United Methodist Church to marry us…read moreafter visiting the church multiple times. As a gay couple it was very difficult finding a clergy person to marry us and Pastor Anthony was so kind about it. He married us in San Juan Bautista and did a good job. We were also able to rent the church property for our rehearsal dinner the night prior which worked wonderfully for what we needed it for. The weather was beautiful and the church grounds were able to fit about 50 guests outside comfortably. We loved it and our guests loved it too. There were so many beautiful views and the church staff was so kind and generous to us. We did minimal decor because the church and views speak for themselves. We would highly recommend this church for an intimate wedding or rehearsal dinner. Disclaimer: This venue does not allow alcohol on the premises so we did a sparkling apple cider toast.

We need this kind of cooperation and worldinesz now more than ever in this nationalist-leaning country. I go to this fellowship. It's a beautiful place inside and out. We talk about religions, issues and philosophies from all around the world. The speakers, Reverend Russ and music (piano, solo musicians and choir) do a beautiful job bringing Sundays to life. They have a free meditation group on Tuesdays, a preschool and youth program, a book club, and independent religious study groups. As a secular, I would definitely check it out if you're in town or are looking for an open forum for talk and belief. (Also they have an amazing lunch after each service. This ain't your Sunday box of donuts)
