    I love the coming to Mass here and having Eucharistic adoration/worship nights with the Well Ministry here. This is an amazing parish with friendly people and a lively community.

    This picture was taken on Christmas morning December 25th 2021.

    I moved here to AZ over 18 years ago. I belong to St Thomas Aquinas ever since. I always enjoy the beautiful voices of all the choirs. I love this parish not only because of its beauty but of all the people that attend.

    Very nice church in the west valley. If your in the area it's a great place to stop by and visit. Very large parish and school.

    When I first moved to the west valley I wanted to find a church that made me feel at home.

    1. Super loud music. 2. Great teaching, carefully screened…read more3. Great scriptural basis. 4. So many people here. 5. Good cross-section of racial/cultural peoples. 1. The house band at Avondale is very loud and energetic. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you people. The kick bass drum rocked my body with percussion with each boom. I'm not sure if that's healthy or just too much exuberance. Hearing "Joy to the World" in rock-type rhythm was odd to this boomer. My early Jesus People days in the 1970's had Jesus Rock (Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Keith Green, Wilson McKinley, etc.) but it seemed more tame than what I hear at CCV. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting old and now long for the old-school hymns I used to tire of when I was a restless young man. "On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand. ..." 2. The best part of my 4 visits to CCV (twice to Avondale) has been the sermons. Well-polished speakers with an engaging style. I haven't gotten sleepy once. That's a good thing. But not seeing a real person up there is a downer. I watched yesterday's sermon again on YouTube later in the day. So maybe if I can't stomach the lack of reverence in the music, I can view the message online. Ashley's sermon was superb, as was Mark's (iirc) last week. 3. It is great that Bible passages are read and usually displayed on the screens. The Bible is our foundational literature. It makes me want to read more. No "feel-good" or "God will prosper you if you give..." false teachings at CCV. 4. There seems to be a revival of sorts occurring in American now. Coming to a well-attended church service is one thing, but all the smiling greetings don't plug you into the life of the church. A person needs to have a way to enter in, smaller groups perhaps. I have to explore that on my own, so it would be good to mention each Sat/Sun ways to become a real part of the life of the church. 5. The Avondale CCV had a nice mix of races and cultures in the service I attended, fitting to the Avondale area. One body of Christ. Great.

There always talking or on the phone talking to someone and always recording with their flash lights on, people are always coming in late . This place needs a little more ordinance in there. Today we had the courage and determination to get up and remove this place from our lives to be at peace .

Then right before the message started we had a staff member come and publicly embarrass us in front of others around us by saying we must leave right now due to our dog. Coming in we were welcomed with our dog explaining that he is an emotional support animal and that he has just had surgery 2 days prior. We are unable to leave him at home due to his 6 staples in his leg. Instead of the team coming up with a solution they just kicked us out. I asked if I could speak to someone about this and they quickly declined and didn't even give us another option. We weren't allowed to listen to the message not even outside we just had to completely leave the premises. Walking out the door there was an 8 person team standing there waiting for us to leave like we were some threat and they just watched us walk out. How embarrassing. To say we are extremely saddened and disappointed is an understatement. Every other church we've gone to with this 7lb puppy has never had a problem. Safe to say we are not welcomed back here unfortunately. Such a bummer. I would seriously not recommend a church less. How awful you have no solutions and you're not allowed to speak to anyone, you just don't care about your guests and kick them out. Because of this expiernce its affected us going back to church in general that we will be kicked out again at another church and caused us to feel as if someone is always watching to judging us like they did here. Super unfortunate And unprofessional.........

At the time, the congregation had a young mens Bible study that was able to help me find the answers to the questions I was asking. When I was saved, God delivered me from addiction and helped me clean up my life. Since getting saved, I have been able to be very active in the congregation with working during annual events or singing in choir or teaching during our annual vacation Bible school. I highly recommend this church to anyone looking for a stable family community based on biblical teachings.

She works at our Dr.'s office and invited us to the Christmas program that is probably just starting now. I tried to reach the church office to leave her a message but was not successful. I told her we would try to come to the program, and unfortunately, we are not going to make it. I just wanted her to know how sorry I am we were not able to make it. I do not drive well after dark. I apologize Joy and hope and pray we see you again soon. Sincerely Nila & Marlin After posting the review, I noticed it says in San Francisco, CA. That is a mistake that I don't know how to correct!

    PVC is a wonderful congregation. I first visit PVC alone more than several times to get a feel of…read morethe church. I'm catholic but that had no bearing on where I would go to feel God's in my heart and meet good people. After I saw and learned more about PVC, I decided to Introduced my grand children to church. Service's are set for adults service and different age groups children services. This way all are enjoying and understanding what they are learning/hearing. PVC is very welcoming. Every initial service may not meet your needs that day - but PVC is a place to go for many reasons. Since the pandemic they've worked to get back to a somewhat norm. If you cannot attend in person you can attend online. If you're attending on time or a little early you'll have the opportunity to be greeted by many. After service it's another chance to meet others. Yes, parking can sometimes be crazy but it's a huge lot and they are working in extending it. People attend church and running a little late you can change your parking preference. I'm no expert but I have experience what happens when I'm late . This week fun fun fun PVC summer camp. Well that's all I have for today.

    Summary: Huge congregation, difficult parking, uptempo loud music worship, great sermon by Pastor…read moreNunez, no free coffee The first part of the service was more like a concert than what we consider a worship service. The musicians had passion for their craft but it was TOO LOUD for us over 65ers. The spotlights with steam coming through was excessive. Too much flash. The sermon was very good, and we appreciated God's word being preached in a professional and measured manner. This is a prosperous church, for sure. This is the first church I've ever been to that charges for coffee. PVC has a cafe near the sanctuary. When we asked about Bibles, the info desk said we could buy them at the cafe. Maybe they thought we meant the Bible reading plans. PVC is reaching many young people with their concert style services, but I wonder how deep the peoples' faith develops in such places and how else they are involved in the mission of this church.
