I have to address Hayden's review because she apparently left to go to the restroom during the…read moreservice and was asked to sit at the back. This is addressed each and every service ahead of time, so everyone knows while they still have plenty of time to visit the restroom before the teaching begins. It is simply a matter of respect to ask people who must get up and return during the teaching to not disrupt the service. It causes a distraction no matter how quietly you try to re enter, it distracts people's attention away from the teaching. If only one or two people do it, it wouldn't be that much of a distraction, however, if it is acceptable to do that, it would be constant distractions throughout the teaching. At the beginning of each service, there are approximately 40 minutes between worship, announcements and greeting one another that anyone can go visit the restroom if necessary and return to your seat before the teaching begins. It is only once the teaching has started that they request anyone returning sit at the back or in the cafe area. I hope this clarifies it for everyone.

I've gone to a Calvary Church for the last ten years and this location for the last 4. I love how he breaks down scripture and explains it in a way I can not only understand but also remember. I grew up in a topical preaching church and was amazed at how ignorant I was at 34 despite going to church my whole life. The signs posted about no young children in the sanctuary are very clear and this has always been a policy in every Calvary chapel I've attended. It makes sense. The services are like a class and distractions make it very hard to listen. Thankfully they have multiple other spaces where children can go with their parents if the parents don't want them in the children's ministry. My kids love it though, so I enjoy my one hour a week to listen to the Word. I also listen to all their past teachings when I'm driving or have time to myself. Can't say enough good things about this place. Must be why it's growing so much!!

We have been here 50 times plus and each sermon has been terrific. He has great energy and passion. Every single time I have left this church, I walk to my car thinking to myself how great the service was and how thankful I am to be a Christian (for 31 years). I went to a church for a long time that had a Pastor that beat us down - every single service. He would say he was just preaching the word and his preaching was a hard style. Looking back, that is not what it was. He wanted to shame us and make us feel defeated. I left there every Sunday feeling sad and nearly hopeless. Scott Cagle is the opposite. He is very uplifting and encouraging. GOD IS SO GOOD!

WARNING: negative reviews here are being taken down…read more I have been a member of this church for over 12 years. It was once a place where the gospel was alive, the leadership was relatable, and people were encouraged to follow Christ wholeheartedly. Sadly, that is no longer the case. This church now censors negative reviews and even edits sermons to hide their biases. They have shut off comment sections to silence the congregation rather than listen to feedback. I've never seen a church so determined to control its image instead of confronting the truth. What opened my eyes was how they responded to the death of a Christian man who, moments before being killed, proclaimed: "At the end of the day Jesus Christ loved us enough to die on the cross for us. He rose from the grave three days later, and at the end of the day Jesus Christ is King." Instead of honoring his courage and faith, the church leadership ignored him--and claimed it was because he was a different type of Christian. Yet this man shared the gospel more boldly than many of the pastors here and has brought far more people to Christ than they can dream of. I also experienced their misplaced priorities when I had to beg for a 10-year-old girl to be baptized. She was denied repeatedly, ghosted, and made to jump through hoops. Why? Because her testimony wasn't "polished" enough to fit into a video the church wanted to showcase. She was left fearful for her soul, discouraged from following Jesus, and confused about God's love. That should never happen in a true house of worship. This church now feels unstable, leaderless, and more focused on appearances and money than on preaching the gospel. If you are looking for God, I urge you to seek Him where leadership has not compromised, where courage is not absent, and where protecting the innocent and proclaiming Christ still matter. We will continue to pray for this church, that its leaders rediscover humility, courage, and the true heart of Jesus.
