This is a church I'd have once given a good review for its commitment to preaching from and expositing God's word - in fact, I thought I did so. I started attending as a new Christian about 7 years ago, becoming a member soon after. I left in April this year. Though the word may be preached, there are serious flaws a prospective congregant should know about. In my time there, the largest board of elders consisted of 2 men, including the pastor. This is admittedly a challenge for small churches, but sadly I saw how a prolonged period of too few elders can play out practically. In essence, there's a concentration of power and a lack of checks. Accountability of leadship is, to me, the most glaring concern. I'll leave it at that in an effort to caution prospective congregants but also not get my post deleted. The remaining church body is in my regular prayers, but it's no longer a church I can recommend.

The warmth they have (especially towards kids) is refreshing. That appears to be part of their DNA through generations (with many families having been there for decades). Also importantly is their commitment to teaching scripture in a way that all can understand and act upon. The pastor and elders have intelligence and care in their souls, and it comes through in all they say and do. They also regularly celebrate baptisms and communion. And even if you are not Christian or have a complicated relationship with religion, they will still happily welcome you! Finally, their commitment to the well being of communities both local and foreign is concrete and steady. Ministries include serving homeless, providing relief people in war-torn areas, supporting foreign missions - all in humble and glad service for the name of Christ. Having been through a wide variety of church experiences over the years (including many not so good experiences), Waypoint is truly an oasis. Truly thankful to God for them.

TheIr preacing is outstanding and keeps you interested throughout the entire mesage. If you want to feel Gods presence...this is the church for you. It is alived and filled with the Holy Spirit. It motivates me to become the best person I can be. I feel the peace of God, his Hope, Joy and most of all the Love of Jesus! This church stands out more than an church I have been to in many many years. They have a super positive upbeat Woman's Group called Soul Sisters, Men's Group Called Band of Brothers, Kids Program, Worship and Prayer too! This is the type of church that is uplifting working in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit ..... that you just can't help coming back. I truly feel Gods presence in my Spirit , Mind, Soul...and this gives the Joy, healing ,peace and hope in this world. I love the community here and just every thing about it!

Everyone is singing, dancing, and the atmosphere is genuinely so good, I've never felt so comfortable to let loose and enjoy the presence of God - the leadership is not only super balanced, but so wise. The pastor and/or an elder will probably treat you to a breakfast or lunch and get to know you but talking to them feels amazing. No judgement, you can definitely see how they influence the church with their openness and wisdom. - KIDS MINISTRY! It's amazing for parents, there are SO MANY KIDS AT THIS CHURCH! Such a family oriented community here. - Everyone I have talked to so far and have become friends with really take Jesus serious. There isn't a lot of two-facedness if I can say that. As in, what you see is what you get. - Lifegroups are a must!

I'd say come as you are, (broken, lost, confused?.) & take a chance, because I'm so glad I did. It saved me and my family.

If at all "representing" itself as a church in the community. NOT a church. Actually very California perception as a church - Biblical standards no there there. Very active beautiful old church building - appearance beautiful old church on the corner. Gets 1 for inviting in community for all types of support groups. If you are a young Street activist embracing every cause to protest, you will really love it in this organization you will be welcomed and supported for your issues whatever they are not related to "America norms". If you are a real Christian looking for fellowship and spiritual, but conservative Biblical support with TRUE NORTH Biblical values this is NOT the church for you. Very progressive organization posturing as a "church" with vapid meaningless Sunday services runs hot and cold with the community. Served the homeless kitchen, then kicked them out for a few years then invited them back in and as of 2026 homeless kitchen is in the church facility M-.F 4:30 PM. The very sweet and beautiful school you see attached to the church is NOT a Christian school. It is a Muslim school most incredibly amazingly. YOU not a Muslim will NOT be invited into the school side of the building. This is quite an amazing conglomeration of religions to say the least. Really appreciate having the church in the community though - clean historic and decorative. That's the best can be said.

If you are searching for a progressive Christianity on San Mateo County's mid-peninsula I invite you to check out CCSM's website and/or attend a Sunday morning service (10:30 AM).

All of them, really. There's something special here and I'm just happy to have a little part in it. Everyone is welcome here, from people curious about Jesus to those who want to dive into what it looks like to fully live in the Lord. Give CPC a try, whoever you are, and I'm sure you'll leave feeling loved by not only God, but by the people too.

It has a definite feeling of family (so for everyone whose family is not perfect (read:everyone) neither are we, obviously - we definitely have our quirks.) We are located in a residential neighborhood that is very diverse: Asian, African-American, Hispanic and Tongan. Our building is small, so we work hard at accomodating space for everyone, and using the space to it's utmost advantage. (We have no room that is solely for youth or for children, since all spaces have to be shared with all ages - but it does force us to also be fairly intergenerational, which I appreciate.) This church loves to eat and to take opportunities to thank God for all God is doing in our lives by sharing meals together. We are also situated right next to a Japanese Presbyterian church, with whom we partner to do our Vacation Bible School in the summer. They are wonderful, sweet, talented, Jesus-loving people, and it is great to have that partnership with them.
