He is very knowledgeable about the Bible and preaches the Word of God boldly. I'm shocked to read some of the previous reviews from a few years ago. A true Shepard preaches the word of God in truth and Honor, which is what pastor Anthony does and should do! Unfortunately the word of God offends some individuals, but as a Shepard of his flock, pastor A.F. Teaches verse by verse of the Bible, it's not his opinions, it's the truth! We go to church to be fed the word of God and learn, the TRUE word of God. Sometimes this can be offensive or harsh but as believers we are called to live by biblical truths. I recommend this church to anyone who is new to the faith as I was, to anyone who is more interested and eager to learn about the Bible and get to know the Living God through his word rather than going to church to be told what you want to hear. I highly recommend this family of believer and for this to be a church were new comers can call home.

Regardless of his teaching skills, A.F. is not qualified to be a pastor for a number of reasons I'd rather not spew online (feel free to PM me if you need to). Unfortunately, my own family and many others I'm aware of have been personally injured by him. As such, I feel compelled to warn others to avoid this church as long as AF is the pastor there.

The church has a sincere warmth and friendly atmosphere while having large service sizes so you don't feel like you stick out. The worship and musicianship is incredible and you can really tell that people are being loved, considered, and prayed for in every aspect! And also, the atmosphere is very casual and comfortable where you can hang out after services with a cup of coffee and make new friends! All in all, your experience from when you enter the parking lot to when you leave will be personal, powerful, and fun!

We are rooted in our ancient traditions and we seek to be relevant to our culture and community. Our band - dubbed Liturgists - rocks. We are a true intergenerational church with some members having been around all 77 years and some other members having been around a matter of weeks (like weeks on the planet too). Join us as we seek to curate a just, generous, and wholistic Christian community. Also, please note that any prior negative reviews are from disgruntled previous employees from the school that rents portions of our property. I'm not sure why they're also angry at us or how they'd even feel knowledgeable enough to write a review since none of them attended our services. Too bad for them.

Lots of promises and good will turned into no follow-up or follow-through with very little in the way of fellowship. Nothing was asked, everything offered but nothing delivered.

What's new here is how large the staff is now, more than at any point in the last 40 years. One improvement is that the sermons now generally have more contemporary illustrations than the last preacher. But the worship service has not changed, and the opportunities to serve remain the same. This congregation is propped up financially by their governing organization (Presbytery of San Fernando). You can count on this organization applying their will on the members here.
