To begin with, Journey Church is a pretty big church with lots of visitors. They have plenty of parking and there are volunteers directing traffic. There is a tent for new visitors with lots of information. I got there while worshipping was happening and I felt the spirit through their songs. I loved how at home I felt by this. Immediately after it Pastor JJ Vasquez started preaching and, wow! He is funny, informative about the word, and keeps you fully engaged.

I grew up in church my whole life, but I finally feel growth in my walk with God since I started at Journey. I see God in every millisecond of my life. God has been transforming me from the inside without anyone needing to touch me or force anything on me. God's word alone has been the focal point of my growth. Sermon series are so impactful. Just a real life changer with sermons that do not require you to have so much knowledge on the Bible but yet drive you to grow eager to gain that knowledge.

Definitely disappointing.( every service should come from reading the Bible , not motivational themed imo.) I attended new members night which seems really engaging......however that's where it ended. I never received follow up although I provided my information, The sound system and worship music is very lacking, especially for such a high tech sound system . If a feel good, check the church box, is service something that fits your needs than this church might work for you. However if you are looking for a church based solely on the Bible, this church will leave you disappointed.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER... PLEASE READ: This review is only for the auditorium and not for the church…read moreor religious service. This review is not meant to endorse or critique a place of worship or services. I visited the auditorium for a concert on Friday. The lobby was small, but still nice with decorations. I didn't see any concession stands, so we ate somewhere else before the event. When we got to our seats, we noticed that our tickets weren't checked, even at the entrance. We sat in our assigned seats anyways, which was at the balcony. The seat was a typical arena style seat, but it was comfortable enough. The AC inside was cold and perfect. Looks like the venue is able to hold about 2000 guests. We had no issues viewing the orchestra and the monitors there. The bathrooms in the balcony area was small and only accommodated a couple people at a time, so there was a little wait. Though, it was pretty clean. Other than the security screening, we didn't see much staff at the venue. Wasn't sure whether the screening was common at the venue, or requested by the concert people, but the security staff were mostly polite and professional. They did however, leave immediately after the show. There was staff to help with parking and heading to the venue, but that was it. Parking was free and ample, so it was a plus compared to other venues. For a concert, I would visit the venue again. However, I would be aware of the lack of concessions inside, security screening requirements to enter, and not much staff indoors. But the free parking, comfortable seating, and great AC makes this a nice choice.

I've been church shopping since I moved to a new area two years ago. I stopped by this church a…read morelong time ago, and recently came back after a long search. It's a small church, but there is plenty of parking and plenty of seats. The seats are extra large, for the typical American. So come on in and get blessed! The sermon was held by the secondary pastor. He was very well spoken and did not distract us by playing in his pockets or saying Uh and Um like many nearby church pastors. There were several references to scripture, which I love. Kids these days (even adults!) don't know the Bible. We really need to get in the Word and get familiar. Attendees were friendly. Communion was germ free!!!! You go get your small cup and your tiny piece of bread and you don't have to touch anyone or sip from the same cup. Thank You, Jesus! The service was germ free, apart from the associate pastor shaking my hand at the door. I hate when they ask you to turn to your neighbor and shake their hand. This church does not do that. I am thrilled! Worship was a few songs up front and one at the end. The words are large on the screen so you can see them if you don't know the tune. Offerings are collected by basket, by text or online. Pretty easy. There is some sort of coffee thing at the back, I've never stopped to check it out. They have childcare. Bathrooms are clean. There are frequent small groups and ways to get involved that can be found on the flyer or on the bulletin board. If you're looking for a neighborhood church that is friendly and bible based, this is your spot. Join us.

Finding Metro Life Church has been such a blessing! They're welcoming, intentional, encouraging,…read moreand transparent. Back in November 2023, I felt hopeless having exhausted my search for a church. I'd spent months researching websites, scrolling through social media pages, and emailing the leadership of dozens of churches... yet none of them seemed to align with what I was looking for. I was about to give up when I made the last-ditch effort to look at yelp (yes, this yelp). I was three page results deep when I found this lovely comment section. I don't normally look at reviews older than 2 years - let alone 7 or 9 - but for whatever reason I still went to the Metro Life Church webpage to learn more. The website so perfectly described what I was looking for, and despite the church being outside of my initial search radius, I decided to visit one Sunday. I was so pleasantly overwhelmed by how kind and intentional they are. I filled out a connect card with a prayer request of looking for a job. Within a day I had someone so incredibly kind reaching out wanting to get to know me, what jobs I was looking for, and how to pray. She introduced me to some wonderful people from the church in my industry, and they forwarded my resume to different people who were hiring. Within weeks, I finally got a job. The church was genuinely looking to help and encourage me, even as a guest. Fast forward to now -August 2024- I am a member of Metro Life Church. I am plugged into community and feeling fulfilled in my surroundings of such a strong body of believers... it has truly been such a blessing. If you are reading this and considering a church home in Central Florida, I highly encourage Metro! If a yelp review could help me find my home, I certainly hope this one can do the same for you. Some answers to my "Church Search FAQs": There's plenty of parking in the surrounding parking lots. Childcare is provided. There are nursing rooms and cry rooms in the sanctuary. The facility is well maintained and clean. The worship is not too loud or bright with lights, there is a true heart of worship and sensitivity to the Spirit. The sanctuary is not too cold or hot, although if you tend to get chilly easily and are sitting under a vent, you may want to bring a sweater. There is coffee and tea available, and sometimes snacks. Dress is whatever best suits you - I have worn a variety from nice dresses to jeans and a t-shirt. There currently is no "turn and greet your neighbor" segment in the service. There is a time of tithe and offering. When communion is offered, there is a gluten free version available. Community Groups extend throughout central Florida, from Winter Park to Sanford and in between. Metro Life Church is nondenominational, reformed charismatic. Any other questions you may have, they will gladly answer it! I hope to see you soon at Metro!

While I do not condone what was revealed about Ron Smith, how it was handled, broadcasted, and then left on the internet for everyone to tune in and hear was and is absolutely horrific. The arrogance of the pastor's opening statements leading into a personal and saddening story of a man who lost his soul due to his sins being found out left me speechless. To drag a man's name so far through the mud but leave his pictures on the website and all over social media creates no doubt that the new leadership and staff who did this handled such a tragedy with such carelessness. It saddens me even to have to write this as a Yelp review. It absolutely destroyed me to see how this was handled by the church/Christians, and it will continue until the church removes the sermon.

This is not a church to visit to start a new life of forgiveness. This church will give you nothing less than a burden to carry and does not represent what it means to have a church that represents what God stands by in the Bible. The Deacons and leaders of this church search elsewhere for fulfillment as the rotation for its speakers come often. This church has fallen and shuns the homeless in ways such as calling law enforcement around its peremiter. This is a place like this, if you are not like them, you will be treated differently. Fake smiles only last so long. But the rope of forgiveness. Is not here. May this church be a lesson to not trust in the assembly of men and their motives. But to trust in God and question the practice that we all partake. May we have forgiveness in this church. And may god provide grace. But this is no place. To worship God. Just the work of. Men
