Bold Church has a strong worship team, and the sermons are powerful, biblically accurate, and very well-delivered. In that sense, it's clear that the church is rooted in Scripture and worship. However, from my personal experience, community was a downside. When I attended a couple of years ago, I found the church to feel somewhat "cliquey," with groups already formed, which made it difficult to connect. I eventually stepped away because I value genuine community where efforts to build friendships are reciprocated. Fast forward two years later, I found myself still struggling to form meaningful connections within the church. While worship and sermons are vital, community is also a huge part of church life, and unfortunately, I didn't feel welcomed or included. For that reason, I've decided to move on and find a place where I can both grow spiritually and feel connected relationally. No hard feelings at all, I truly wish Bold Church the best and hope they continue to grow in building deeper community. It just wasn't the right fit for me. read more

Bold Church - Churches Near Me - San Jose, California

My family have been attending Bold Church for about a year now. When we moved back to the Bay Area after a few years in Oregon, finding a church was top of mind for my wife. She stumbled upon a post from Bold on Instagram and a couple weeks later we attended our first service. I was instantly drawn into the sermons, culture, and welcoming spirit that everyone embodied. I've always been resistant to church and religion, but Bold does a great job of welcoming non-believers and delivering scripture in a manner that's accurate while easy to comprehend. Our daughter entered this world in November and our family called Bold Church home shortly after. Through finding Bold Church - I've received salvation, got baptized, and have taken steps in my faith that I would have never imagined. I've established a living relationship with God, and through him I've become a better husband, father, and all-around person. Christ has empowered me to confront strongholds that were holding me back from my purpose. I'm on fire for God and excited for the journey ahead! read more

I've been at Bold for 5 years now and feel grateful to God for leading me here. I had every intention of visiting a lot of other places around town to see which place I could call home but this church was the first and last I visited. As a baby believer, I was hooked by the loud music and chic aesthetic. I'm still here though because I know God is moving. He is at the center of everything here, which means everything done here, is done in truth and love! The folks who call this place home are some of the most amazing people I have met and feel honored to be in community with them. I also really love that we don't just have church on Sundays for a bit then forget about God and each other. We are constantly finding ways to build community, serve others, and above all serve God, regardless of the day of the week. I highly encourage you to come by and see for yourself. You will not leave the same! read more

From October 17 2018 Last weekend we had a birthday sleepover at The Hotel Valencia, in the morning I noticed that they have a church service there that starts at 11. I sensed excitement in the people, and of course I was curious. I visited today and I must say, I got a fresh burst of The Wind, so needed! It was an amazing experience, and I don't say that lightly. Definitely 21st century. I'm coming back! Today March 16 2019 You have to experience this for yourself. This Church is for everybody. It is Fun and Relevant and not like your traditional church service. Come check it out, what have you got to lose? read more

I'm always hesitant about new churches. I came from a long history of Christianity, and I'm not a stranger to churches. In fact, I church hop sometimes to find the most bible based church. I'm not looking for good music, atmosphere, people, ethnicities, or backgrounds that may interest me; I look for the message. It's not up to me to judge, but a good bible based church is one that base the message on more than two or three verses. Pastor Ali shared some very convicting messages. He asked a simple question : who are you when no ones looking? What is your identity based on? This was weird because I was just talking about this very subject with a Christian coworker the other day. It felt to me that God was guiding my steps towards this church. I look forward to more sermons in the future and to grow spiritually. read more

Moved from NYC to the Valley with my wife. We have been church hopping for a while before finding Centerset. My wife and I were looking for a place to grow in our faith and we strongly feel we found that at CenterSet. Husband and Wife Pastor team are relatable and you really feel their love for the Bay Area and their passion for bringing the Gospel. read more

8 months ago, I was invited by my younger sister to check out this new modern church for the "unchurched". Little did I know that church would change the rest of my life. Everything felt so welcoming that I easily opened my heart to it all; the worship, the Pastor, the message and most importantly, to Jesus. I left that Sunday hungry for more, eager to learn about this relationship that Pastor Ali repeatedly said Jesus wanted to have with me. Fast forward to today; I look forward to Sunday service, my 4 year old loves the Children's Ministry, I have met amazing people at the life groups, Pastor Ali and Yasmin have become very important in my life & continue to guide me and strengthen my faith, and most importantly, I have a relationship with Jesus that I didn't even know existed. CenterSet has become my home and I feel so blessed to have found them. read more

Bold Church is my home. I first was introduced to Bold Church at 18 years old from a friend. I came from a catholic background but never had any seriousness about church. I was still too young to Understand. Still, Bold left an impact on me, stood out to me. It felt just more then church attendance, I received a message about my own life. I've made my way back to Bold at least three times since then being lost in my ways. Ali has noted how much I've changed since then. My mentality has changed so much from all the unimportant things of this world, the distractions that the devil wants for us. To the will of God and what he wants. I now have the ability to understand and what's is harming me. I am dependent of the church, and the groups to learn more about what everything really means and what's best. Without Bold, I would not understand the Bible as well as I am able to understand it today. Bold has been a tremendous impact on my life. Bold plays a huge On everything it's been able to bring in my life, because the relationship I now have with my father in heaven, Lord Jesus. Amen read more

It's been a long time since I've been able to call a church my home, but CenterSet is definitely my new home! Here's what I love about it... 1) The people are amazing. They make a big effort to welcome you at the door and several other times as you enter the worship service. Don't let this deter you! They are trying to acknowledge you and make you feel welcome. 2) The lead pastor is down to earth. Pastor Ali talks about difficult subjects and relates it to your every day life. It's refreshing to hear such frank discussions about the bible and your walk with God. If you go to the Growth Track for new members, you'll learn about your responsibilities to the church and how it aligns with the scripture. 3) You can connect with other members during the week if you attend Life Groups. These are Bible study sessions at a church member's home where you can get to know 5-10 members of the church in an intimate setting and explore the Word of God together. The connection made here really make attending church a truly awesome experience. 4) This church isn't afraid of technology. I'm really excited to see how this church evolves over the next 1-5 years, because everyone is invested in growing this church and using all the latest tools at their disposal. It's exciting to be a part of something revolutionary and I really think we're going to change the church experience in the Bay Area. If you want to try an intimate, community-based church experience, please come join us on Sunday! You'll be surprised at what you can take away from an hour at CenterSet. read more

*** You have to check out CenterSet Church*** My review would be geared towards the person who doesn't go to church regularly. As a kid I would attend church (w/ family) or to support friends and I always felt very uncomfortable and couldn't be "myself". CenterSet Church is for everyone! I went to a preview service and was very impressed. Pastor Ali is a natural. I was smiling, laughing and thinking a lot during service. There is no pushing religion, just listen to his modern approach and be open to the benefits. Check it out for yourself. (July 16th Service) - http://centerset.church/sermons/ Everyone at the church were very friendly and welcoming. It's also in beautiful Santa Row. You can get coffee before service or lunch after. Don't worry it's easy to park as well :) Their social media is worth checking out if you want to learn more and get info on upcoming events. https://www.facebook.com/CenterSetChurch/ https://www.instagram.com/centersetchurch/ read more

From the moment I walked into CenterSet, I felt love. This church has been a tremendous blessing to me and my family since we've been attending. So much so that my husband and I became members of the Dream Team. Our children love the Children's Ministry and the teachers. The teachers are kind, caring and make learning the word fun. They have a good system to ensure the children's safety and we are thankful that we are able to have our kids learn on their level. We LOVE the messages Pastor Ali teaches. He is so transparent and clearly is a man after God's own heart. He incorporates humor into his messages, but always makes sure it's tied to the Word. We continue to enjoy CenterSet. We can't wait to see to here so you can feel the same love we felt! read more

Amazing & Open Church in Santana Row! First off, everyone is so open and Welcoming as you come in. The service starts with a great band doing a few uplifting songs. Then Pastor Ali comes out and gives an inspirational down-to-earth service that is relevant to my life. Topics include work, forgiveness, sex, relationships, etc. My fiance and I were on the fence about church, but wanted to give it a try for our toddler... and it is great. So whether you are religious or not, it is a great opportunity for spiritual wellbeing. Plus they have an amazing crew who is there to watch your toddlers and children in a fun environment while the parents go to church. read more

I am amazed by the connections I have made in the short time I have been coming to Centerset. I love the Pastors, the Dream team, my Life Group. For the first time in my life I am not only attending church, but i'm serving in the church and living my faith out loud. When I am not in church on a Sunday or Life Group on Wednesday I am listening to the podcasts over and over, rewriting my sermon notes and spending my days allowing the light of God flow from me into my community. Centerset has strengthened my faith and given me a place to call my church home. Please come visit us at the Hotel Valencia and follow us on Instagram and listen to the Podcasts. #faiththatworks read more

I didn't know what to expect in a church that met in Santana Row, but I was blown away! The space, the music, the people, and pastor were so welcoming and inspiring! I feel it's a safe place to explore faith, and I met some cool and passionate people in the same stage of life as me! They even have a childcare for my two little girls! I'm on the Centerset train for sure! Oh and a bonus...the free fruit infused water!!! read more

This is one of the most engaging and friendly churches that I have attended since moving to the Bay Area 10 years ago. They talk about focusing on both Christians and non-Christians and making CenterSet a friendly environment that is accepting and appealing to everyone... and that is exactly what they are and do. How refreshing that they do what they say and treat everyone with love and respect. I've had nothing but excellent experiences at CenterSet and look forward to many more in the future. You should check it out no matter what you believe, it may just surprise you :) read more

What a cool setting (Santana Row--Valencia) to chill on a Sunday morning and focus on something bigger than myself: God; and something more valuable than i can imagine--eternal life, really? and all I have to do is believe that God sent Jesus to be the sacrifice for my sins??? I went on July 16, and will be returning on August 20 for their second service (with family and friends) to hear what Ali has to say... and they really just want to serve our community ?! This is a revolutionary approach to "church" as we once knew it (I'm 56 and have quite a history with traditional churches...) Ken Vereschagin, M.D. read more

If you are looking for a home church, you don't need to look any further. CenterSet Church is one of the most welcoming and friendly churches I've attended in San Jose.

Accepting of both Christians and non-Christians, CenterSet Church is truly a unique and awesome experience that no one should miss out on! I love the location, people and their Sunday service, I highly recommend this church!! read more

I decided a little while ago I needed to go back to church if I was going to get any stronger in my faith. I craved to experience God in a community of good people. I made a list of churches around me that I would visit every week and then decide where I wanted to go. CenterSet was first on my list. I was welcomed by the friendliest people Ive ever met, mesmerized by the amazing worship, and captivated by the pastor's sermon. I found such a great community here through the church and its weekly life groups. Needless to say, the rest of my list was obsolete. I was called here- and Im staying for good. read more
