    The positive: 1. The worship team is great. Their voices are…read moreexcellent. I enjoyed their singing. The drums were little too load, but all in all, they are recording ready. 2. Was impressed by their food court and merchandise area. Negative: 1.Too many women ushers, and a woman pastor. Women in pastoral roles not biblical. I got the vibe that this is a very women centric church, maybe even progressive. 2. They breezed through communion. You basically pick up a sealed cup at the door. The female pastor talked about communion for a second then walked off the stage leaving us to figure what to do next. We were looking around to see what everyone else was doing and then we "got it", it's time to take communion on our own. I'm sorry but, although it's a symbolism of Christ's blood and body, the pastor should actually lead you through this as he performs it himself. To me, this act should carry more significance. 3. The Senior pastor comes on the teleprompter to preach and he was not on stage. Clearly it was prerecorded from an earlier sermon. For whatever reason he was not there, a real person in physical form should have been preaching. We left about 5 to 10 minutes into the sermon once my wife and I realized there was no one on stage. Unfortunately, we will not return.

    I have never given a review of a church before and I never thought I would. The campus is nice, the…read moreplace is clean and everyone I met was nice. The praise and worship was fine. To each his own on that. I don't care if the band is amazing, it's your time to praise God. My issue was scripture. I came to a ccv over a year ago and left extremely underwhelmed. It was more of a slide show than church. I tried it again tonight hoping I was too judgmental last visit. The service is done remotely with no teacher or pastor teaching live to the congregation. This is a seeker friendly church. I saw one bible in the entire crowd. It was very busy. The 'sermon' was basically a business lesson on creating systems in your life. The pastor (on the screen) quoted more authors than he did scripture. He held the Word of God the entire time and never taught it. If you're looking to go to church be check the box, this is your place. If you want to dig into scripture, be challenged and grow in your knowledge and understanding of the bible, I'm afraid this isn't the place. I left with a sunken feeling that the churches in our country have grown cold. We are still looking for a great, bible teaching church near us. We will keep looking. I'm not mad or upset with ccv, however, at the same time, believe if the pastor would open the bible and teach through it, completely and verse by verse, this church could radically impact the valley. They have no shortage of people and the impact they could have would be immense. I pray the pastoral staff seeks God and gets a burning desire to share HIS word, not a bunch of slide shows, modern self help ideas and authors. God's word is powerful and should be taught every time the churches meet for service. I wish them the best!

    This church has been such a light in my life. I stumbled across Reclaim Church about a year ago,…read moreknowing very little about God and feeling very uncomfortable walking into churches, even though I deeply wanted to grow closer to Him. From the moment I stepped into Reclaim, it felt like home. Every sermon teaches me something new about the Bible and Scripture. The pastors do an incredible job breaking down God's Word in a way that is easy to understand, relatable, and applicable to real life. They don't just teach, you're challenged to think, grow, and truly live according to Scripture. You can genuinely feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in this church. Reclaim has played such a huge role in bringing me into a strong, meaningful relationship with God, and I am forever grateful for this church and its leadership.

    Let me start off by saying; If you are looking for a structed foundation to grow in Christ,…read moreestablish great fellowship with church members, this is not the church for you! The sermons are short 20-25 minutes at best, and with no substantial teaching of God's word, but will hear the Pastor(s) talk more about them, inappropriate jokes and wearing "shmedium" shirts, comical rather than Godly. This is more a beginners 101 class. As far as discipleship goes, there is none. Baptism is held once a year, Bible study consist of watching a video and trying to figure it out on your own. The "fellowship" outside of the church is playing pickleball, that's great for the more athletic and youth, but not for the mature, elderly or disabled. Basically, this church is a "Recovery" church for those looking to get their lives back on tract without feeling "pressured" in really serving Christ! All in a nutshell, Reclaim is a weekend "warrior church"
