He's currently doing a series of sermons on the family, today he preached on abortion! Thank you for preaching God's love in a biblical way! Wish we lived closer to attend more, but will be praying for your missions, will visit again if in the area & will be checking out via online. Take care & I pray God continues to use you, pastor to bring the truth!

I love Berean Baptist Church! We have attended for over 30 years and have found a deep connection…read morewith many people that have lasted a lifetime. Berean elders came and sat by my side when my family was gravely ill. They brought me meals, cared for our children and blessed my heart in more ways than I can express. The Spirit of Jesus Christ is alive in this congregation as evidenced by their love and commitment to the Word of God. If you are discouraged by your visit, my heart goes out to you - I hope you find a church that meets what your heart needs. Jesus is here

I find it sad and frustrating that this church is listed by Yelp as LGBTQ friendly, "open to all",…read morewhen their stance is that those who don't identify with the gender on their birth certificate, or who are attracted to anyone but the opposite sex are essentially broken. I'm am not saying the people here are cold. Most are friendly and generous, but that only makes it more heartbreaking when they try to fix or save you.

This is a community of true believers, that teach you and stand firm on Bible truths - they stand beside you during any trial you may be going through, include you as part of their family and offers many community, family and personal resources to help you grow in your faith. They not just like a family - they are a family!

This is a great community of believers! Not only that, but they're like family to me. It's awesome!read more

Pastor is AMAZING. I was skeptical with the worship as it was a lot of flashy lights, huge cameras,…read moreand over-the-top sound effects with a small cross in the corner but I understand why it's so busy, the pastor! I've been coming each week and the messages keep getting better. The parking lot is huge but it gets cleared out pretty quick after the sermons are done. Entire service lasts 1- 1.5 hours. Would definitely recommend if looking for a new non-denominational church!

It IS a mega church, but I do like the fact if you don't know anyone you can come and go without…read morebeing noticed. However, in that same breath. It can get lonely and defeat the purpose of trying to go to a mega church. *I dunno emoji goes here* I'm a lone parent with a toddler, I came here for resources first and foremost and I found them. That is a big plus and I feel so blessed and fortunate. The main pastor, he is pretty conservative by todays standard, however, I have to appreciate that now days when a lot of churches seem to be bending to cater to the masses. He is authentic and non apologetic about what is on his heart. For that he gets props from me on the passion he holds for Christ and trying to pass that on to those who are listening. The only thing that truly stinks about Grace is the traffic. *annoyed emoji goes here* Big church - lots of people and their cars. Gotta come early and leave early to bypass it. Plus one parking lot has been closed for a bit. Wish they knew what sitting in a hot car does to my toddlers patience and my nerves. BUT Try them out for a at least a few Sunday's and pray about it if this is your new church / community. Be blessed!

Before covid, we liked going Saturday at 5, so our Sundays were free. Now they just have Sunday services, 2 of them. Covid also ruined the live animals at Christmas which was really cool. We have become a little irritated with 2 pastors and their liberal ideals. Although they can't promote politics, it is blatantly clear who they support. 2 sermons were about the upcoming election. Church is not the place. We are upset enough to look elsewhere.

Terribly over priced and under organized Christmas concert. What a huge disappointment…read more Sunday mornings are even worse. Given the size it is inconceivable that the church is so poorly staffed from the staff to senior pastor.

Shame on you. My church in North Hollywood had a 40 piece professional orchestra, animals, professional narrators and professional recording vocalists and charged NOTHING to PROVIDE AN EVANGELICAL OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY. Shame on you Wooddale. Chislers.

I started going to this church because during the COVID hysteria, the church didn't knuckle under…read moreto the Governor, but operated with common sense precautions throughout. I found the preaching excellent, the music likewise, and there are numerous and varied opportunities for spiritual growth. However, I must rate the church "average" for one reason: the Senior Pastor jet-sets all over the world and tries to dress it up with a "stained glass" excuse of "carrying the gospel hear, near and far." In fact, I think he's likely OUT of the country more than he is IN it. On weekends he preaches, he tells the congregation about weekends he was absent; stating he just returned from South America, Indonesia, Africa, Sri Lanka, wherever! Anyone with any degree of familiarity with foreign travel can easily discern that this activity has to cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually when the frequency is considered. There is airfare, ground transportation, food, lodging and miscellaneous expense associated with this kind of a lifestyle. It is dressed up in the "stained glass" excuse of "carrying the gospel here, near and far." (I would say "near" is a better idea; there have to be tens of thousands within the outer limits of the church locally who could benefit from the gospel and/or the expenditure of funds this travel entails.) The church is about to change Senior Pastors; the new one takes office September 1. However, the old one is "transitioning" into a role in which he will continue this lifestyle. If anything, I expect he'll do more of it. I simply cannot support this, and In my opinion, it is simply shameless jet-setting on someone else's dime. For this reason, I don't pledge and must rate the church "average" even though "excellent" would otherwise be in order.
