You have to be upper class to come to this church. My family and I are low class and you can tell…read moreby our clothes I guess. We got alot of dirty looks. It felt fake and like we were not welcomed there. I don't reccomend this church to anyone unless you are around in the surrounding areas. Not only that you can't join 80% of the other activities because you need money and alot of money. Obviously you guys are gearing to a certain type of people who can attend your church.

A deacon stated that she would pick up medication but, another deacon dropped off a check to me when I'm homebound and, the cost of the meds had risen by the time I received the check. A shed in a box does me no good. My house was never unpacked. My belongings were destroyed outside and, Pastor Scott nor, Pastor Scott could return my calls. I do not have the health to gather a couple people to confront them. Whatever you do unto the least of these, you've done unto me.

At Easter, I attended a partial "mass" here...because this is where I was christened long ago by…read moreMonsignor Leddy (sp?). This church always held a very special place in my heart, obviously, until this last Easter. As I sat trying to listen to sacred prayer, I was saddened. I did not feel the presence of holiness in the delivery of the prayers and mass at all. I just sat and listened, oh so sad. When it came time to receive the eucharist, I got up along with my son, and walked to the front of the church to receive it from the priest...I was crying...because the eucharistic ministers located in the middle of the church gave me the ugliest "go to HELL" look ever when I passed them up to walk up to the priest. WHAT? Go to HELL inside a Catholic Church? Really? Oh my GOD...with my precious son at my side???? WHO are these 'Eucharistic Ministers' anyway??? Walking out I could not help but notice that the stairway to the choir loft was impassable because accordion-like bars (the ones you see in New York City to prevent damage to store fronts) was drawn across the opening, along with a chain as well. WHAT? WHAT in the world does that say to anyone? No one allowed up in the choir loft to sing praises to God? Really? WOW. Just what in the HELL is going on with the Catholic Church these days anyway? I certainly hope they, too, are not going to HELL - since that was the disgusting, ugly, degrading message on the faces of their 'Eucharistic Ministers' wielded upon me and my son. I will never go back there again. EVER. OH MY GOD!!!! Such a DISGRACE to my GOD - and my son.

Want me to be honest? I started going to this Church when I was very young in elementary school,…read moreand it's made me still think to this day. This Church has hurt me deeply, and i felt alienated for simply having different opinions as a 6th grader till highschool ish. I now realized all of those people weren't true believers of Christ and most of them used Jesus Christ as an aesthetic to judge each others, rather than to build relationships closer to God. I was so scared to go to that Church every morning, I would have anxiety attacks before leaving the house as a 6th grader. Not to mention, when they told the congregation they were looking for a new Paster for Calvary, they ended up getting some guy to play the Paster role and merge church's without letting anyone know until people were mad, and then were forced to then vote on that decision. This church felt like every opinion on the Bible had to be black or white and if you had anything different to say they'll make you think you did something wrong. Sometimes it was fun due to the activities such as music camp or kids choir, but the people who were there to pick people apart were terrible. I am turning 22 and still traumatized to this day. I remember comments being made on junior high girls being "inappropriate" for wearing a normal swimsuit to the pool. These are the types of brainwashed people you'll deal with who will never put themselves in someone's shoes, even if you don't know what size they wear. Oh yeah and if you were dealing with any mental illness they'll tell you either A. you deserved it somehow and need to repent, or B. Pray about it and don't try to get any professional help. Brainwashed sheep that follow a religion but don't know what the religion is about, really pathetic.

The elderly woman supervisor was rude and shpuld have served all patrons willing to purchase their ' over used ' second hand items. I have shopped for 13 years at the yearly yard sale, spending between 3-500 dollars every year to help support the missionaries from this church and suggest all patrons find a more christian like following any place of worship but at calvary baptist church in oildale ca.

Sermons are very much based in scripture. The pastors always have multiple verses (and the…read moresurrounding context) to support the Sunday message being preached. Worship song selections seem to be made very carefully to make sure the lyrics/messages are consistent with the Church's values and not taking unnecessary artistic liberties (I.e., not secularizing or misappropriating biblical teachings/concepts). The vast majority of people I have spoken with seem committed to fulfilling God's purpose for both themselves and for the ministries they are involved in. I've not been left with the impression that the people serving are "in it" for their own personal recognition or glory, which is very refreshing and important for anyone serving in a church ministry. The grounds are kept very nice and the auditorium, community center, classrooms, bathrooms, and common are clean, organized, and up-to-date.
