I first met the Master back in the late '80's at a Double Ten event and was quite taken with his "Presence." Palpable energy! Many years later, he requested our daughter sing at his 70th birthday celebration. This night, he spoke with my wife & gave her his Blessing. When she told me that, I told her she had the election in the bag! Landslide victory!

They provide lots of guidance on teaching the right Buddhist principle. There is a Buddhist Master living in the temple. His main purpose is to teach Pure Land Buddhism.

The old mosque was burnt down by a racist, so currently, this is rented space in an office lot…read moreuntil the new mosque is being built. The place can hold 150 to 200 people for prayer and there is a room for women to pray as well. There is also a place in the back to do wudu. The Friday Khutbah's are really nice. I love going here and look forward to the imams that give the Friday khutbahs. There are at times visiting imams that will lead prayer and they also do great khutbahs. There is a community feeling from this place which I like. There are some parking spaces available, but if you go last minute on Friday then difficult to find. There are two armed security guards that patrol the mosque to keep everyone safe ever since the arsonists burnt down the mosque.

My 2 year old asks about going to church all week long, he loves the kids program so much and they always take really good care of my 3-month old so I can enjoy the service. There's a great nursing moms room that I've used a couple of times too and appreciated being able to hear the whole service from a private room w other moms even if my baby needs to be fed. The pastor is awesome (and is new since the reviewer commenting on the weird message she heard here back in 2016; I would be shocked if you didn't love the teaching now). My husband and I both love to go to church every week. Love the worship that is fresh but feels really authentic. Love the teaching. Love the kids programs. Connection opportunities TBD cause we haven't taken advantage of any yet but there's a Moms group that people rave about, and I am looking forward to a breakfast that they offer to get connected at the end of the month. Only one month in, but so far so good!

I have never attended a service at this church, so I can't speak to that aspect. I'm writing this…read morebecause of an issue that occurred that I'm afraid might speak to some questionable practices on the business side. Recently rented the sanctuary space for a piano recital for my students. The recital fee was exorbitant ($375), but I didn't mind paying it since I had enough students that I could absorb the cost through recital fees charged to the parents. The issue was they asked for a $500.00 damage/security deposit, which I gave to them by check, having being assured that the check would be shredded after the recital-providing there were not problems. The recital went smoothly, and after a small reception myself and some parents made sure the place was cleaned up and brought back to the state it was in before we came. One month later I discovered that my $500.00 security deposit was cashed and taken out of my account. After two days of trying to reach someone, I was finally told by the person in charge that I "left the sanctuary in quite a mess," which apparently meant that they found some popcorn on the floor and the piano wasn't moved back. While I strongly disputed both issues (none of my parents remembered bringing popcorn, and I'm sure I moved the piano back), it was very clearly not an issue that justified a $500.00 fee, and I was NEVER contacted that there was a problem and the money was taken out of my account a MONTH after the event without any communication from them. It was only after I threatened that I had no problem taking the matter to small claims court, that I was informed that they would return $450.00 of my $500.00 security deposit. I was so relieved to not have to deal with a court issue that I accepted, and I took the $50.00 loss. So for one event, they charged $375.00 whereas most churches charge $100-$200.00 for a sanctuary rental for the same kind of event, and they got an extra $50.00 from me after taking $500.00 without informing me and then returning $450.00. I will never use this church again, and will very strongly encourage other music teachers not to use them either.
