So grateful to call The Bridge home we moved here from Guam in 2021. Grew up in a small local church, my second home. Going from knowing the whole church to trying to find another church to call home was challenging. But since our first visit in 2019, God gave us the peace to know that we'd return again. 2021 came & so did the church hunt. We tried a few but we kept coming back to The Bridge. The more we went, the more it felt like home. Fast forward to today & I've made so many new friends & spiritual sisters. I've grown in my walk, I've relearned new things about the stories and scriptures I'd read my entire life! Pastor Gary & Pastor Zac do such an amazing job at delivering the Word, focusing on the scripture & not sharing their own thoughts and opinions. The youth & children's church are absolutely amazing as well! Pastor Corey & Amber are igniting revival in this generation! I'm a part of the children's church & they are doing such a beautiful job at teaching the little about Jesus! The Bridge is home read more

So nice and roomy!! Very big!! Very nice and clean !!! We came for a graduation and it was nice

The 1st time i came here, it felt like Pastor Zac was speaking to me. But that was impossible, since he didn't even know that i was there. It took a few weeks but I went back. Once again the message felt like it was for me. In the 6 years that I have been coming now, this happens more often than not. The staff is absolutely wonderful. And the congregation is my new family. I was away from the church for over 30 years. But I have now found my church home!! read more

This place is home! Great worship, biblical messages and great community! I visited for the first time in 2016 and it's been home ever since then! read more

So blessed to be a part of this amazing community of Godly men and women. Worship is always amazing and have never felt so close to God as I do when I come to service here. read more

The Bridge Church - Churches Near Me - Murrieta, California

See all

We are fairly new to the church. We moved out here from San Diego and had a wonderful home church at The Rock of San Diego. During covid we continued to watch The Rock online and felt it was time to find a home church out here that we can be apart of. We visited a couple of churches before making The Bridge our new home. The Bridge has an honest, real message that we love. The worship team is amazing. My sister and her family have also joined us in making The Bridge their new home. I love it To be completely honest what sold us is the smile on our kids faces when we pick them up from their classes. We want to be rooted in a church where are kids get fed spiritually and with joy and this is that place. read more

Reviewing churches feels weird but wanted to share from the perspective of a mom with toddlers. The church itself was beautiful and welcoming. Worship was great as well as the sermon! So if you're not a parent of a small child, totally a great church to check out! Here's the reason we are continuing our church search elsewhere. We were excited about the children's ministry because the hallway was beautiful but when we went to our sons room (the 3 year old room) there room was bare. It had 2 tables with coloring and a single bucket of toys for the room. The cabinets were broken and bare and the volunteers were not as welcoming as I would hope for him as a first time guest. There was a young girl there that was helping and she was so sweet so I was thankful for her. Our 1 year old attended as well and his room was better, the volunteers were so sweet and welcoming in that room and there were lots of options for toys. We returned to pick them up early to see how it was going in their rooms and the 3 year olds were watching a movie. I am big on childcare in churches not being a babysitter situation, I want my kids to learn about Jesus in a way that they understand with kids their age so I'd love to check out this church again in the future should anything change with the kids department. read more

Great teaching pastors in a very friendly environment. We have moved from Lake Forest where Saddleback Church was our church home and have found a similar church home here. read more

This church is great! Good diverse groups of people with a solid youth program and an emphasis on truth. Also a great coffee shop

For the past 7 years my wife and three girls have been blessed to be a part of this amazing group of Godly men, woman and children that love Jesus and honor God through public worship, fellowship and service. If you're looking for a strong community of Born-Again Christian believers then head on over and say hello. God bless and we look forward to meeting you. read more

We've been now about 5 times. Two times they had guest speakers. Same great word as usually given by the head Pastor. Great praise & worship & really reaches the youth. Services 9:30 & 11:30 on Sundays. Wednesday evening services for the Youth. read more

I was not going to leave a review YET, but after reading the recent review from a few days ago; I knew it was best. We're fairly new to the area. My son and I had a home church we loved so much and miss it dearly. Since being in Murrieta, we have tried out four different churches and didn't feel comfortable. Our previous church just made us feel so great. And we weren't getting that feeling from the other churches we visited. I found The Bridge and decided to give it a try. We LOVED IT! From the moment we walked in everyone was so welcoming. The ladies who checked my son into kids church were so kind. One even walked us to the children's room to show us around. The children's rooms are all so nice! My son said he had a blast and he couldn't wait to go back. When he said it reminded him of our old church, it made me happy because I had the same feelings. As a person who works in Special Education, another thing I really, really appreciate is that they have a room for Special Needs children. So often these amazing children are over looked. So the fact that they have a room for them makes me so happy. As for worship, I thought it was so beautiful. The atmosphere was amazing! Pastor Anne gave the sermon and I think she did wonderful. She really spoke to my heart. Everyone clapped for the people who were there for the first time and we were asked to stop by and said hello at the end of church. I thought that was nice. And yes, I did stop by to say hello. As for the baby situation, I completely understand where they're coming from when asking parents to kindly step out if their baby is being loud. Honestly, I'm happy they do that. It's not done to be disrespectful. It's a church, everyone is there to have a great experience and hear the word. It's hard to do that when all you hear is babies crying. That is why they have different rooms for babies all the way to 5th grade. I read on the pamphlet they gave me that if there's a problem they will text you or put your child's code on the big screen for you to see. Which is great! So no, I personally don't think it's disrespectful to ask someone with a loud baby to KINDLY step out so they won't disturb others. I love this church. After one visit my son and I knew we would go back. I cannot wait to go back on Sunday. I felt so at home there. If you're looking for a church with great pastors, kind people, a wonderful worship group, and most importantly, a GREAT children's church. Then give The Bridge a visit. read more

I have been to churches all over Southern California and have not found one quite like The Bridge. Pastor Gary and Pastor Anne are fantastic! Pastor Gary delivers a message every week that is easy to follow and easy to relate to. This church has something for everyone. They have a group for Women, a group for Men, and a wonderful children's ministry. There are also many, many other connect groups and classes during the week to get you connected with other people. I have been going here for about 6 years and I LOVE it. read more

Great church and amazing people very welcoming. Worship is great and contemporary and I stayed for the pastor. I like pastors with experience and seasoned and I shopped around for churches and this church is so well balanced and I love it. read more

This is one of the best Church I've ever been at. Very cool, very nice and very friendly people. Pastor Gary and Ann are Awesome

My boo (Laura) is the drummer, she rocks! This is the best church ever! You feel welcomed like no other church, the youth program is the best. They have something for everyone truly a great church to belong to! read more

My family and I are new in the Temecula Valley after relocating from Orange County. Our previous home church was Cottonwood in Los Alamitos which we love dearly. However, finding The Bridge Church has been a blessing. Pastor Gary is an awesome teacher and the church as a whole feels like home. Great praise and worship, great teaching, and such a great presence of God. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a Saturday service. My job requires me to work Sundays at times and it would be great to have a Saturday service to attend. read more

My family has been so blessed to have found the Bridge... You get out what you put in, this is a larger church, so if you expect to get to know everyone without getting plugged in, you probably won't. My kids and I have been going since we moved here almost 4 years ago, and have to say the people I have gotten to know are genuine people that are not perfect like me, but love the Lord, and want to be in relationships with him. read more

Bridge Church is awesome! We moved to Temecula from Fort Worth Texas about 4 months ago. We looked around at a few Churches but this church is alive. Great praise and worship, challenging and truth filled message, and lively diverse people. We love it and it is now our home church. read more

I have gone twice to this church & got the greatest thrill of my life. Chills go through my body. I told my friend I was embarrassed cuz I kept crying & I didn't know why. She says because we're sinners...maybe?? Overall, this is the church for me, try it & let me know if you don't get a huge rush throughout your body. I never got that in any other church although Harvest in Riverside is very nice... just a bit big for me & too far from home. The people, ALL OF THEM, are very friendly & don't rush out afterwards & nearly run you over in the parking lot. They also give away a nice pkg of free food away in the back after each service for those in need. They don't make you feel bad. (I just lost my job after 15 yrs there & have found myself on the verge of homelessness) read more

No place else has ever felt like home. When you walk in, you feel like family. When you leave you feel valued, believed in and loved. We have a toddler who is just as excited to come every Sunday with us. His teachers are so great with the kids. They are very nurturing and very patient. The kids don't just play, they also learn about Jesus which is very important. The worship here is absolutely dynamic and I have never experienced worship at this magnitude anywhere else. The sermon is always very relevant. There's never been a single Sunday where I have left and felt like I could not apply it to my life in someway. The pastors there take the time to personally talk to people and love on them before they leave. I absolutely adore this church! read more

Keep in mind that I only attended this church once, so take this review for what it's worth. The music was great, the main guy singing had a great voice. The sermon was a vignette of personal stories with a bible verse thrown in here and there. Honestly, I didn't even need to crack open my bible. I wasn't looking for a feel good sermon. I want educated sermons that delve into the bible in a meaningful way. Not the kind of pat quotes and ideas that I typically see on Facebook. read more

This is an amazing body of Christ. Pastor Gary's are always bible centered and inspirational. Chick connection with pastor Ann (starting up in fall again) is a wonderful time with awesome worship, a relevant message and a pamper lounge, child care & morning treats! You know they really care about you individually too and I think in such a big church that is rare to have that personal touch. So many groups you can join to grow and continual mission programs to help others. read more

From the awesome worship service to the doctrinally correct message I have a new church home. This is just me and all churches do it, but I hate the handshake thing. Other than that I'm good. read more

I have lived in the area for just over a year and looked for a home church from my first weekend here. It is so refreshing to find a church where the Holy Spirit is welcome and the desire of the people is to meet with God. Weekly Pastor Gary teaches the word in love and uncompromising. It speaks right to you (to the heart) and is relevant for our everyday lives. Chick Connection with Pastor Anne is awesome as we hear the word and a time of great worship. There is a pamper lounge, morning treats, child care and a great time of fellowship with other ladies. Ladies we need each other and are there for each other. So excited about our special event in January. There a lot of places to serve and get connected. A place where you are family. I have been going here about 3 months and absolute love it. Hope to see you there. read more

I have attended this church for nearly six years now, and would without hesitation call this place home. A home is the people you are with not where you are, and although the facility is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, the work God is doing through these people is what makes it all worth it. There is a program or everyone, the kids, the youth, and the seniors, be sure when you check it out to get connected. Connect people to God and connect people with people, we are the BRIDGE! read more

Was 1st time attending a church since moving up to the Murrieta area. You would think people would be more friendly and welcoming on "1st time guest". I've been in church all my life, definitely not a church snob I enjoy sermons. Unfortunately while woman was giving her sermon she repeated a lot of the same thing, not a big deal...I could get past that. However being it was my 1st time attending my children did not feel comfortable attending the class. They sat with me in the sanctuary. My daughter who is a few months old was sleeping, I sad in the far back, my boys with me. My daughter woke towards the end of service. She wasn't being loud, normal baby talk, there were other babies who were crying or talking. When it was time for alter call, heads bowed eyes closed, my daughter sitting on floor in front of me was talking not very loudly, I had an usher come tell me "I don't mean to offend you, but if your daughter gets any louder during prayer you'll need to step out of the sanctuary. By the way she's cute." That was my cue to leave. I have respect for church, especially during prayer, and had my daughter been loud during service I would have removed her from the sanctuary without being prompted. Unfortunately for a 1st time guest this was not a very good impression. I would not return to this church ever again. read more

I would love to place this as five stars, but too new. I can tell you this.... The size and glitter of this church scared me a bit... But when the message was delivered I was instantly touched. I need the Trinity explained to me time and again... Since this the core declaration of our belief. Pastor Gary broke it down like no one one ever has, he made something that should be known to all Christians remind of us that we are not too far from forgetting the core fundamentals.... Back to basics,... This is what I needed and received. I will return next week and keep you all posted. read more
