The sermons are rooted in the Bible and focus on God's Word rather than opinions or trends.It's all about Jesus. The children's ministry is solid, and it's clear that a lot of thought, care, and love go into creating a safe and engaging environment for kids to learn about Jesus. Like any church, Seeds of Life isn't perfect...no church is because we're all made up of imperfect people. You'll find all kinds of personalities here, but I've consistently found the congregation to be welcoming and friendly. If you're looking to get involved, the church encourages people to attend regularly for about six months before serving, which gives you time to get connected, build relationships, and discover where God may be leading you to serve. If you're looking for a Bible-based church where Jesus is the focus and where you can grow in your faith alongside a caring community, I'd definitely recommend checking out Seeds of Life.

To whomever may be looking for a new church to attend in the San Gabriel Valley.. I can honestly…read moresay Bridges is a very welcoming place and I am so glad that I was invited to come here. How we found it? I was getting to know our son's Little League coach Michael Gregory, and he shared with me that he's actually a Pastor at a nearby church! It was perfect timing, because we were just looking for a new church to attend closer to home. Every since we started attending, my son and I have made really close friends, a few of whom I now work out with 2-3x a week, which has been a total game-changer for me. My son has had plenty of play-dates with a few of the kids there, which has also been huge. It's hard to make close friendships through school these days (it seems) since we just drop off and pick up and there aren't a ton of "hang-out" opportunities for parents of school kids at public school.. but at Bridges, we've made really close friendships from the bonds we've made hanging out in the church parking lot after church every Sunday. There are also a few really good community groups to join. We've done movie nights, ping pong, and there's even a beach day coming up. Every last Sunday of the month, we meet at the park nearby for a picnic lunch, and this is also a great opportunity for folks to get to know each other. The music (worship) is really good at this church. They play some current songs by Hillsong, Chris Tomlin, and Elevation Worship, along with more old school songs I'm beginning to learn, and even some real old ones like Amazing Grace which I finally learned the real meaning of, and how and where it was written. Amazing story, look it up! Anyways, I love this church. It's small(er) than most churches I think? Which, to me, is a good thing.. not too overwhelming at all, pretty easy to get to know a few people right off the bat. Everyone is really nice, warm, welcoming, and pretty open-minded. I've taken my mother (who doesn't attend church) a couple times, and even she seemed to like it. She certainly liked the people, and had some enjoyable conversations after church while we enjoyed some watermelon, snacks and cold brew coffee that was being served. There are a lot of parents here with small children, ranging from newborns to around age 10 or so. Not saying this is a make or break, but if you happen to be a parent with little one(s), you're definitely in good company! The sermons are good. I appreciate how they preach.. it's the type that sorta gets you thinking, and allows you to do your own thinking throughout the week. Some sermons at other churches try and knock you off your socks emotionally, but then that's sort of it. These are well-prepared and thought-provoking. They also do a good job of asking the kids a question at the beginning of each sermon, which as a dad I love, because it engages my son. They offer Sunday School (Bible Class) from 9-9:55am for kids in 2nd - 6th grade. Sometimes I help out in class.. a lot of folks who attend end up serving in one way or another, either on welcome team, or A/V, or even worship (music) team.. for me, it's been a great way to get to know people even better. After kids bible class is over, we had back into the main sanctuary for church at 10, which begins with worship (music). Growing up in an Armenian Apostolic church, this sorta newer style of music with guitars and cajon or drums and bass guitar was a little new to me, but by now it's second nature. I really have grown to love the music, so much so that I've taken to listening to Christian music at home whether I'm working or running, not all the time, but just about as much as any other type of music I listen to. There's so much good Christian music out there now.. even Christian rap music.. it's certainly come a long way! Well, I can thank Bridges for helping to open my eyes (and ears) to more Christian music. If you're still reading this, all I can say is.. why not give it a try.. Bridges that is. I invite you to join me any Sunday, and I look forward to meeting you!

Back in 2017 I had gone to a women's conference, Godchicks She Rises, and I was so heavily lead by the spirit to find a local church.

That is when I found Gateway community church. Gateway truly is a community. They took us in with open arms and welcomed my whole family. Since the very First Sunday that we step through the doors of Gateway we felt loved and we kept coming back no matter how difficult life got or how much we choose to live our own lives. There are some amazing people here that have a Heart for Jesus. It's seen through their actions. There has been a conscious effort by many to be apart of my families lives. They were there for us through the good and the bad. We never felt judgment from others, just a welcoming hand and lots of LOVE. Come join us on Sunday so that we can bask in Gods love together as a community and family.

Then I realized people need to know about our church. We have been coming to Gateway Community Church since 1997. Yes, there are so many churches to choose from in the SGV, but from the first day we attended, we knew we found a place that we can truly connect with and call home. I love the fact that most everyone is so welcoming to newcomers. It's not like you go unnoticed (like how it is in large churches). It's a smaller congregation, so it seems more inviting. You can stick around after service and have coffee and snacks and just mingle and get aquatinted with others. As a church we do lots of fun things as well. Throughout the years we've attended picnics in the park, baseball games, beach outings, game nights, bowling, youth camps, retreats. I really love the Small Groups that I attend.

I was welcomed in with warm hands. I was astonished that many of the aunties and uncles still remembered my name despite not having seen them for such a long time. It made me feel so welcomed and special. The service was impeccable as always and the food was life-changing. They seem to give larger portions now, my plate overflowing with God's creation. No one I know that's eaten here before has ever complained about the quality of the food or the service. I was overwhelmed with emotions as I finished my meal. I was so content with life and at the same time I was flooded by the urge to share this location with everyone around the world. If there was only one thing I could change, it would be I would open MORE locations around the states and perhaps venture out to other countries. Everyone NEEDS to try this place, it would be a shame if they lived their whole life not being able to experience what I have experienced here. If anyone is reading this, know that you will not be disappointed! I DARE you to give this place a try, you won't regret it. To think that people fly from all over the world to come to this place speaks for itself. If I could, I would give this place a solid 10 stars! To the church of GSTPC, keep up the solid work!
