From our rehearsal to the wedding day, everything was handled with such professionalism, warmth, and genuine kindness. The church manager was so organized and attentive to every detail, guiding us and our families with patience and grace. Because of their calm and steady presence, the entire ceremony flowed so smoothly and stress-free. The church itself is absolutely stunning within both inside and out. The character of the place is beyond what we imagined for our ceremony. We are so blessed to have found this. Its original beauty made our wedding ceremony feel truly sacred and special. Every corner reflected love and beauty, and it was the perfect setting to begin our marriage journey. We're deeply thankful for the church manager's dedication and the unforgettable experience we had here. It's a place filled with heart, beauty, and faith. We'll forever cherish these memories. All Love, S + J Laboriante

You don't just hear the Word--you see it lived out. There's a deep, genuine love for Christ here that isn't performative--it's real, and you feel it the second you walk through the doors. What stands out most is the people. This is a community that truly loves Jesus and reflects the fruits of the Spirit in how they show up for one another. There's a genuine desire to see lives transformed--people are healed, restored, and stepping into who they're called to be. The children's ministry, led by Pastor Rick, is something special. They don't just "watch" your kids--they pour into them, teaching them how to be the hands and feet of Jesus right where they are. Youth Pastor Dan is equipping the teens in a powerful way, grounding them in truth and helping them live out their faith boldly. And the young adults ministry, led by Pastor Eric, is on fire--passionate about God and committed to seeing the South Bay experience real breakthrough. If you're looking for a place where you'll be challenged, loved, and equipped to walk in the freedom Jesus died for--this is it.

If anyone LGBTQ+ is reading this...I have been a part of and led at MANY similar churches…read morenationwide with great worship, youth group, and evangelical-style preaching. Most are not LGBTQ+ affirming but are what they call "welcoming." I thought this was one of those types of churches. My wife, kids, and I were recommended this church by one of our friends. She said it would be a good fit for us. At that same time, another mom of our kids' friends invited our kids to a movie night and told them to invite their parents to come along. It seemed great since more than one person had recommended this church to us, so we went with our kids. We attended the movie night and a couple of Sunday services, and our kids loved the youth group, so we wanted to give it a shot. Unfortunately, it turns out that the mom who invited our kids to the movie night did not know we were a gay family. We showed up and sat by her and her husband, and two days later our friend came over very upset. We asked what happened, and she said the couple that invited us to the movie night were deacons from the church and also her neighbors. They had realized at the movie night that we were a lesbian couple with kids, and they informed our friend that we were not welcome at the church and that we should not be attending. I got a call right after that from the church after filling out a visitor card, and I told the lady on the phone what happened. She said she works closely with the pastor (I forget her title,) and said that the pastor would want to speak to us about what had happened. I contacted her again when I did not hear anything back, and she told me she did tell the pastor about the incident, and that he would be calling us, but is very busy. .... I quickly realized it was a call that would never come, lol. We had to tell our kids that we needed to look elsewhere. I am happy to have found an affirming church that we love and are very involved with, but in case any other LGBTQ+ individuals, families, or allies are looking for a church in this area, I wanted you to know what happened. No matter what their beliefs are, I do not believe this is how Jesus would have wanted a family seeking a church to be treated by DEACONS in the church. I was the daughter of a mother who was known worldwide in the Christian world as a leader, speaker, and president of a Christian organization, and a father who was an elder, nationwide leader, and board member, so I was appalled at how church leadership handled this.

I love how after church you can walk to brunch at Yellow Vase or Admiral Risty or stop into Trader Joe's to pick up your weekly groceries after service. Surrounded by beautiful views and trails and open space St. Paul's is just a lovely lovely old school little church with new ways of worship.

The grass is picturesque and perfectly green. The view of Abalone Cove beach area was gorgeous. The grounds aren't huge but are very well kept and serene. My friend recommended I check this spot out. I'm a fan of 50s/60s architecture so it was super cool to see this glass marvel. I love how the 360 glass walls and ceiling allow natural light to come thru while also allowing you to still feel nestled in the trees and one with nature. It's really a spiritually smart way to meditate while being protected by an enclosure. I'm truly amazed by the ingenuity and design. The bad: There was so gardening and construction going on that made it more noisy and less serene. The fountain was stagnant but I loved the cool and retro triangular shape. I am unsure if it's always stagnant or if there's usually water shooting out of the middle. The interesting: There are engraved stones on the ground for both those who passed away but also those who got married.

It's truly stunning. I couldn't get myself to leave after walking around for a while. There was a baptism going on so I had to wait til it finished then I was able to walk into the little chapel and just sit there and pray. Pray for world peace, for health and prosperity. It has been really tough for a lot of people during the last three years. This is truly an amazing place to see while in Southern California. The views are unreal and the little chapel is truly stunning. I wish to be back as a guest to someone's wedding or baptism one day.
