I'm grateful for everyone I've met and am continuing to get connected.

As a non-member and a visitor of Evergreen Baptist Church in Rosemead (for several times), I…read morethought my review could some provide useful information and idea of what to expect if you are considering to attend or visit Evergreen's Rosemead campus. First, it may help to know a very brief history, as the church has a rich history as one of the early Asian-American churches of Southern California and a pioneer in the "Asian-American church movement". It was founded back in the early 1900s as primarily a Japanese-American church, and like many other older Asian-language churches, later attracted English-speaking and other nationalities and finally evolved into an Asian-American Church. There is also another congregation located quite nearby in La Puente. Considering the size of its congregation, when you drive up to the church, it seems quite big, with lots of buildings, classrooms, a chapel, and a parking lot (you can also park in the school nearby if it gets too crowded). It is actually a beautiful church campus. You may have to ask around or follow the crowd to the main worship hall. Having attended multiple services at different times, I never found it crowded at all. In fact, each time, the room seemed around maybe less than 50% full. I also visited a Sunday School and was informed that church attendance was lower because the senior pastor Ken Fong was on break for the summer. For an Asian-American church, the worship was relatively lively and good. Typically, these churches are not able to compare to "mega-churches" which are multi-ethnic and bring in thousands of attendees. The songs played were easy to sing and the variety made it well balanced, as the age range of the congregation easily reached to those in their 60s and 70s. The sermons were simple and relatively biblical, didn't require much bible knowledge, and this is nice if you're not a regular church attendee. Also, unlike some smaller or "more outgoing" churches, if you were new or just a visitor, you aren't forced to meet or pray or feel uncomfortable with strangers, you can simply attend and keep to yourself. It is a relatively conservative style of service, quite common in most Asian and Asian-American churches. According to some other Yelp reviews I read, the church has been described as "clique-ish", and I do understand why these reviewers felt this way, I felt some of that, but perhaps it may have to do with church culture and/or the rules and structure of it. I was informed that a 4-week class was required in order to meet people and learn about the church, so this could make it difficult to meet anyone easily, and it seemed strange and a bit formal, but it's also understandable given that the church might want to protect its members from visitors who may not fit in or agree with the church's doctrine and values. Some churches I attended would let newcomers get immediately involved and even teach the children, and so there really needs to be a balance. Overall, Evergreen seems like a decent church (if you prefer evangelical or are curious) to attend especially if you live in the San Gabriel Valley. And if are Asian-American, you will find a lot of people here who likely share a common experience with you if you decide to attend the welcome class. Compared to to mega-churches, it's smaller, so you may not be able hide long if you like to remain anonymous at a church service. However, compared to other Asian churches of its type, it is bigger and seems like it could take some effort to connect with others, but it seems like a good option if you're looking.

Never thought that I would write a review on a church... I…read moreattended a funeral today at Holy Cross and had mixed feelings about the entire ceremony. The church needs some TLC because the ceiling looked like it was falling apart. I could not pay attention to the sermon because I kept starting at the cracks above me...waiting for it to collapse. -_- With that said, remodeling an entire church can be very pricey, and I have never donated to any holy place so I really should not be talking. It definitely looked nice from the outside, which I feel is worth mentioning. So here is the fascinating part..although I am not sure if this came with the church or my relatives had requested this from another establishment but there were a handful of police/security guards on motorcycles blocking off the entire way from the church to the cemetery. This made it very convenient for us stragglers who had no idea how to get there. I commend the locals for being so patent with the stream of cars since we did cause a lot of traffic. I have never experienced such a peaceful departure from church to cemetery in my entire life. The loss of a loved one is extremely difficult, and I am glad that the trip was executed in such a gracious manner.

I have been here since January of 2012. I started off from Exodus3LA (same church, but different location) and I recently moved to Irvine so I attend Exodus3 Irvine service. Since I love my church so much, I wanted to come and give us a review for y'all. Don't you get pissed when people tell you, "OH EM GEE! This restaurant's food is SO good! We must try!" So you go with your family/friends/lovers to find the food to be NOT so good? I hate that. I hate being misled. I am not here to mislead you. I seriously want to tell you how amazing this church is. WHEEEEEEE!!! Please don't mistaken me and think I'm telling you that this church is "perfect." There's no such a thing. I'm telling you- I can't stand some people at my church. However, it's not about me. It's not about you. It's not about us. It's really just about Jesus. Who you are in Christ, and how much He loves you. I am reminded weekly on how much God loves me, and who I am in Christ. It's an amazing thing to know who we are in Christ. Once we realize how much God loves us, your life will be changed. My life is changing!!! I am SO happy and SO thankful for this church on earth. Service: Every Sunday @11:00AM and weekly Branch Meetings (weekly gospel reminder) all over SoCal. Come get to know your Savior. He IS your Father. He loves and cares for you because you are His child! You're worth it, BABY!!! See you soon, fellow believers~!!!

I've church hopped from mega churches to new start ups and everything in between. Many of the churches I went to were very blessing in some form but nothing held me there. It seemed like the messages were all about the day to day, the surface level problems that God was supposed to solve. I never found direct answers to my problems just the run around. This church is REAL. There's no sugar coating, no drawing people in the pews to raise the numbers, no PC answers for your questions...it's the cold hard truth. Jesus. If you're looking to fit in, gain a community, have people who will try to sympathize with your issues and problems...this is not the place for you. If you're looking for true meaning, logical answers, and people who will point you to the true answer, Jesus Christ, then you've found your new home. This may not be a mega church and not large in number but the strength of faith in all the congregation is strong and apparent.
