Before I was born - a committee of a few older woman tried to befriend my mom in hopes of getting her to put me up for adoption. My mom was 16 when she had me. My dad had just died. My grandma had died three years prior. The congregation was so loving to my grandpa and family. Back in the 90's, I truly believe it was a supportive community that praised God. Now - the pastor came in to pray over my grandpa and referenced needing to hurry to coach his daughter's senior game. Four times. Also, couldn't bring a change of clothes in the car? My grandpa was some of the only love and goodness left in that church. Have some respect. He donated money his whole life here just to be told he couldn't have his wedding reception there due to a sleepover for the teenagers years ago. & that we couldn't chose who spoke at his funeral if he had it here. Shame on you. Very tone deaf. They always have been. God / forgive me. I know you don't reside here. & I don't know if you ever did.

They have attended catechism, received baptism, 1st Holly Communion, and sing/play the piano/ukulele during mass. It's nice to come to a place where you see familiar friendly faces and they in turn know you and your family. In this community, they know my kids more than myself or my husband since they are often here for choir practice, church functions or volunteering. This church has gone through many improvements through the years. -Bathroom upgrade (although, they should have more than 1 stall) -Ceiling Fans -Speakers/Microphones -Red Carpet Stage for the choir -Grotto (Mother Mary Statue on the side of the church) -Bingo Monday -Children's Choir, Youth Choir -Love how we can follow along with the choir on the projector screen -Attend the 1st weekend mass of the month and get blessed for your birthday and wedding anniversary! I absolutely LOVE our new priest, Father Richie. He is easy to understand, relates to everyone, meaningful, funny, and genuinely a kind person. This church is full of friendly smiles and welcomes all. I love this little church in Milpitas =)

This church is known for the outreach they do in the community, truly practicing what they preach. This is the church you're looking for if you're looking for raw, messy, true faith. It's not a feel good place, but one will talk about the real issues that we all relate to and need grace for. Everyone here will make you feel welcomed no matter what background you come from.

I also learned understand speaking in tongues. When I was going through the hardest time of my Life in and out of the hospital with anxiety the sermons were on point and help guide me with using the keys of the kingdom. I understood what it's is being "yoked" and family curses. I can easily go back and listen to the sermons.

The church…read moredefinitely has a high-energy, concert-style atmosphere, there's a DJ outside, greeters dancing around, flashy cars in the huge parking lot, and a production-heavy vibe. If you're new to church or enjoy a very lively, event-like experience, this might appeal to you. What surprised me, though, was how much of the service felt like advertising for upcoming paid programs. It felt longer than the actual message itself. When Pastor Ron came up to give the sermon, I expected some teaching or guidance. Instead, he mostly repeated short phrases like "God is good" or "Hallelujah" a few times, then closed with a very brief prayer, just a couple sentences. That's completely valid as a form of worship, but if you're looking for a sermon with teaching, Scripture breakdown, or practical application, this church may leave you feeling like something's missing. I left feeling a bit confused and underfed spiritually. Redemption Church clearly knows how to create a lively, welcoming experience, but for someone seeking depth and teaching, it didn't meet that need.

Small groups are located all around the Bay, and LSCC continually provides opportunities for leadership. The church is small, about 70 members and 30-40 present at each service. It's a good size if you're interested in getting to know the people that make up LSCC. After service, they encourage LSL (Living Stones Lunch), where all attendees are encouraged to fellowship with one another. You'll find people here that just graduated college, young professionals, and new families. There's a great children's ministry now, with ~15 kids, ranging from newborn to 10 years old. You'll also find people with all kinds of passions, (to name a few, music, climbing, gaming, sports) and there are even ministries dedicated to each. I would encourage others to check it out! Who doesn't need a great community?!?

First time here and everything was going well until my 3 year old was having a rough time at…read morechurch. I've been looking for a church because growing up Christian, I want my family to experience the Holy Spirt as I do. I've been struggling spiritually, and I've been praying to find people to help me through this process. However, today instead of getting empathy and compassion for my situation; people looked at me with judgement and even someone yelled at my son because he was having a hard time. For those who understand about how the enemy works, sometimes it uses what you love the most to prevent you from getting close to God. Today, I felt every little thing was happening to me was the enemy trying to stop me from receiving what God intended to. The only thing I can request is please be empathetic because you don't know what spiritual battles people are going through. I know the Holy Spirit and I've experienced God before so I don't take this personal. However, it's important as Christians to lead with compassion and love. Sometimes people haven't had the opportunity to experience God, and the only thing they need throughout the way is someone to reach out to them with intention and love. Sometimes getting close to God is not easy, there are battles that people have to overcome and when the enemy knows you have a special purpose it will put you on situations where your character will be challenged. Today I needed intervention, compassion, love and understanding.

I was not aware, his personal flattery to me, was weak at the first time, but was strong very well. Otherwise, I could have been left Pastor Song and the church earlier. Also, I could do pay him less money than $96,000. With a highly developed in "flattery" and "foot-in-the-door (FITD) technique" together on me, in the church, he was brightly greeted with me with beautiful smile, as he was getting to use two psychological approaches to get my money. Currently, I don't attend the church every Sunday, because Pastor Song was looking to do "flattery" and "foot-in-the-door (FITD) technique" from me directly, after conversations regarding my job, my hobby, and my family in the church, which was reflected for Pastor Song's understanding to have no more money in my bank account at the end of year in 2019.
