FGF is awesome!!! I have been coming to this church ever since I was 13 and the main reason why my…read morefamily moved to this church was because of the great children and youth ministries. The children ministry has evolved into its own service on Sunday mornings. It's wonderful because kids are learning how to worship God. The praise and worship team has grown to a deeper level of worship being more sensitive than ever to the Holy Spirit. The pastor, who was my youth pastor for 4 years, John Wright, preaches messages that are powerful and with conviction. Pastor John has a vision to bring people together; that's why we have multi-cultural events to learn about each other's cultures and we have movie/comedy nights. Please keep in mind that he is very careful in what movie or comedian he chooses to share with the congregation - he just doesn't go by what the reviews say. There are so many more great things I can say about this church, but I'll stop now. You will always be welcomed at this church!

Plenty of parking and they they have bathrooms in the school plus in the school on Sunday they have the best Catholic store, they sell so many beautiful rosary, first communion gifts, an incredible inventory of religious artifacts and so many beautiful biblical books including some beautiful Bibles. The Church itself has several seating arrangements and the church is full of windows so there is an abundance of spectacular light coming throughout the entire Church, this has become my new church.

Whether you're coming for a kids event a Sunday service or a holiday event. You'll for sure be…read moretreated like family. Everyone is genuinely happy that you've come no matter your age or race. Kids events are always fun (and random; there's been Fortnite Laser tag and Wrestling Matches) and still get in a good chunk of Jesus. Regular service's (9 and 11) music and lesson are always enjoyable and anyone who comes in can take something out of the service. And Holidays (especially Halloween and Christmas Eve) give a safe and fun place to bring your kids and remind you the reason for the season. Since shelter and place they do online streams which have been helpful! Definitely should try it online or when things open up.

I been going to St. Joseph's Church in Pinole since the 1990's. I have attended CCD 1991-1993. I…read morehave seen half of students from Pinole Valley High School attend mass at St. Joseph's Church. The smoke usage during the mass can be distracting and can bother people. Also the blessing with the holy water by the priest can hit you hard (we all have seen the priest whack the choir member in the eye with that). I attend either Saturday 5pm or Sunday 8:30am, 10am, 12pm, or 5:30pm mass. Not hard to find seating at either time. Parking can fill up at the church lot.

This is a great parish community! I have been a part of this parish community for 30 years and have…read moreloved it. During this pandemic, there have been very encouraging, inspiring and uplifting masses, messages and outreach efforts. The church does so much to reach out and help the community. Father Geoffrey Baraan is a great Pastor of this community. We appreciate him very much! For those new to the community or looking for a Church, please come and be a part of this great community.

This is a great church to attend point blank period. I've visited many times and I always get…read moretreated the same way. Pastor Anthony Hodge is a great man and an awesome leader. He has experienced life first hand and has obtained the tools to living a faith filled life !! I don't think that anyone can combine politics with the church but since I've viewed opinions of Pastor Hodge on other reviews I'll feel free to comment ........ the little old lady that you all speak of was rude and extremely disrespectful, racist and in my very own words a complete ass. She raised her voice and yelled and when she was corrected for acting the way she did, she did. Not like it. Honestly Pastor Hodge handled the situation and was calm the entire time and he was not escorted out he left! What I've learned is that some people don't like to be corrected for their wrong doing and she was clearly one of those types of people. I'm glad Pastor Hodge corrected her instead of someone else it could have gone another way ! Needless to say don't issue out something that you can't take little old lady (whom is the real wolf in sheep clothing)! Come to Zion Hill you won't be let down!

It amazes me how people use social media to slander people when they don't have all of the facts…read more Now, lets clear the false statements made about Pastor Hodge. He DID NOT call anyone out of their name nor was he escorted out of the building. I think people forget that Pastors are Men FIRST and they are human with feelings. Him voicing his opinion DOES NOT make him any less of a Christian. In case you didn't know, there are NO PERFECT CHRISTIANS. Besides, what you two ladies wrote doesn't give you any room to pass judgement nor make you any better. The bible talks about judging others in Matthew 7. Please let me share SOME of the things Pastor Hodge has done for the community: host annual block party, feed the homeless/community, assist homeless in finding shelter, walk the streets of Bayo Vista housing development, holiday meals, toys/backpack for the kids. He's a VERY caring Pastor with a BIG HEART, who teaches the Word of God. Please take the time to visit Zion Hill for Sunday School @ 9:30 am or Morning Worship @ 11 am. I know you will receive a blessing. ZION HILL trouble is trying to roll in and strike, but the PINSETTER came and sweep us back together as WE STAND JOINTLY FRAMED TOGETHER!!!!

My first Sunday checking out Bay Hills, I was beyond nervous. I knew almost no one. I hadn't been…read moreto church in decades and I wasn't where I wanted to be with God. I wasn't even completely ready to socialize, but I took a leap of faith and showed up to check this place out. The second I walked up to the doors, I was greeted by two sincere people and with many other smiles. The music had already started and it was positive, encouraging and moving. I felt God in the worship. The message began and it made me laugh, cry (yes in the first day...lol) and think. The dermon was completely based on scripture. He used comprehensive examples, hilarious stories, and I didn't catch myself zoning out or checking the time...which...to be completely honest, I'm prone to in uncomfortable situations. Afterwards, I helped myself to coffee and doughnuts and bumped into a few people i knew! They were excited and surprised to see me there and we caught up. They introduced me to someone else who showed my the childrens ministry (epic!) And the nursery was a DREAM for me as a new mom. Time was flying, and before I knew it, I had to head out. I came back the next week...and haven't stopped going since. The messages at Bay Hills have helped me become the closest to God I've ever been, and the friendships i've made over the past 7 years are such an important aspect of my life. As an active member, I am now happily involved with the church including the children's ministry and small groups. Learning about the churches structure and community over the years has only made me feel more and more blessed to have found such a Jesus-focused, diverse, sincere, honest, and fun place to call home.

The Pastor sister Janet was very helpful with the planning and answered all my calls and emails in a timely manner even though I probably annoyed her lol.

My children loved the kids services, and I was shocked at how all of the topics of the adult service pertained to my current thoughts and beliefs.

To top it off, they served a feast of a lunch with polish sausages, hot dogs, hot links, veggie dogs, chicken, fruit, and an assortment of sides fit for a queen. Haha! We will be back, for sure.
