I especially loved their worship team and each on the the four singers are capable of leading their own worship team at any other church. The volunteers at the door made sure they greeted everyone which made me feel welcomed. The free donut and coffee made it even more welcoming . I can see why Resonate is a very popular church that is growing quickly as the sermons are awesome and relevant . I would definitely go here if I lived nearby but I only came to visit as I heard so many good things about this place ! Also Ryan is a solid pastor and is the right guy to grow the church even bigger!

I found this church through a web engine search, and when we started going we fell in love with it…read more Why? 1) The preaching! Faithful to the Word; unapologetic truth that points us to the compassion and mercy we have received. All sermons (from old and New Testament) show how Jesus' sufficient job on the cross is the a-z of the Bible (and really the core of life ). 2) The people! A group of people that know they are broken, don't pretend, and are there for you when you fall and are in the dumps. They eat with you, pray with you, cry with you, mourn with you, are goofy with you, admonish you, encourage you, and plainly walk through life with you. We left the church when we had to move to another country, but I wouldn't have left otherwise! Miss my New Life family!!! But the Lord is always faithful and I have a new church family in Canada now If you're on the fence about checking it out, don't be! Just go! Try it out a few times and then decide. You don't need to be a Christian. If you're a Muslim, a atheist, an agnostic, a Hindu, whatever you wanna call it, but you wanna find out more about Jesus or Christianity, you're welcome there!

Reposting my old review from 2012 since we've moved and had to create a new Yelp page. Since then…read morethe church has been growing rapidly under God's provision, and we are now at a new location with more space! We now also have an assistant pastor, Rich, who's been such a blessing to New Life. Since Rich's arrival, we've witnessed a huge growth in young adults ministry. - Though I'm sure people will only write good stuff about their own church, I want to first let you all know that I am going to be as unbiased as possible in the following review. I found New Life back in April through a pastor I'd met in Palo Alto. I had just moved back home from New York, and while looking for a church to settle in, the pastor suggested this church that is fairly new in my neighborhood. Since it was a pastor I trusted, I decided to give it a try. It couldn't hurt - it was only a few minutes from my house! Though I was at a very confusing stage in my life when I first started attending this church, I was able to settle in without feeling uncomfortable, thanks to the friendly, non-intimidating environment that is not too in-your-face. Seven months later, I am still attending the church. I have experienced a slow but visible growth in my faith, through the loving and supportive community, as well as Pastor Dave's sermons which are always on-point. The vibe of the community is very fun, friendly, yet intimate. Pastor Dave's sermons are intellectual and witty, but never straying away from the very core of the gospel. Though it is a fairly small church, there is an order that cannot be ignored. I believe this is a reflection of the gospel-centeredness of the church. This allows the church members to be accountable and supportive towards one another. What I love the most about NLMC is how welcoming and accepting everyone is towards newcomers who are still questioning their faith or have never even been to church. I have been to churches where there's the "inner circle" of people who grew up in that church their whole lives, but this church does not question or judge your faith; instead they provide you with some insights and guidance to understanding Christ. The congregation is mostly young married couples or young parents, but there still is a younger single crowd. The church vibe is still very young, and the church is very responsive to the younger crowd, so it'd be nice to see it grow more. Anyways, I suggest everyone to check out the church just for two weeks. I know that everyone feels differently about different churches, but I am pretty confident this one will make you feel safe as a place to grow in your faith.

One great thing about this place welcomes all! Especially kids, do not be afraid to bring your kids to mass. I have brought my toddler and I used to be nervous, no one has ever given me the glaring eyes. Overall, I don't think I'll ever find a parish in our area that's so friendly and lovely anywhere else.

I am giving this 1 star only because there is no option for 0 stars…read more I would not recommend this "church," and I am writing this to warn others not to come here. My experience was deeply unhealthy and harmful. The leadership is controlling, manipulative, and spiritually abusive in ways that left me (and others I knew) anxious, isolated, and afraid to speak up. I personally saw people who raised concerns get silenced, shamed, or even pressured to "repent" for simply questioning leadership decisions. The toxic culture of control runs very deep. "Disciplers" (spiritual mentors) often insert themselves into areas of members' personal lives where they have no business. For example, trying to dictate whether someone is "allowed" to date, move homes, purchase a house, use family tracking apps, or even play video games. These things were framed as sinful, and anyone who questioned that way of thinking was labeled unsubmissive to church leadership and to God. What makes this worse is how skillfully Scripture was twisted to justify it all. At first it could sound good and convincing, but over time it became clear to me that Bible verses were being taken out of context to control, intimidate, and bully members into compliance. In my opinion, this is not spiritual care, it is spiritual abuse and manipulative bullying disguised as faith. It upsets me most how they target college students, especially at Santa Clara University. Students who are eager to grow and learn can easily get swept up without realizing how controlling and damaging the environment really is until it is too late. There are passages in the Bible that describe the character qualifications for elders and deacons. I believe that the lead pastor at New Life, and the deacons, fail to meet nearly all of the Biblical qualifications. In my view, this is NOT a safe church community, especially for young people or anyone vulnerable. If you are considering New Life, I strongly encourage you to be cautious and to find a church where leadership is transparent, accountable, and genuinely supportive, not coercive.

Legalistic: idolatry to rules and membership. The teaching…read moreis solid, but there is too much emphasis on membership and rules. They were welcoming in the beginning as every church is, but it slowly became radical. It made you feel that it was their role to distinguish "true believers" by pushing membership (non-biblical). I was looking for a church that had right theology and doctrine, but after this experience it made me realize that strict doctrine and adherence to rules can mask flaws in their fruit (ex: Steven Lawson). There is a pattern of manipulating scripture verses to portray certain agendas. I challenge anyone reading this to discern their teachings, if they are Biblical. The church is modeled after John MacArthur's (RIP), no wonder: https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/1ktnxo5/a_warning_to_christians_who_follow_john/ Matthew 7:16: Are these teachings/behaviors Biblical?

I realize GrX is also a multi-dimensional church that isn't just centered on Sunday worship - they're keen on serving the surrounding communities and supporting missionaries overseas. This is a self-sacrificing and gracious group of people; it's been especially encouraging to see the commitment behind the pastoral staff and operations (i.e. worship, setup, sound teams). My tip for newcomers: keep an open mind and plug yourself into a small group - there are many to choose from.
